He’s untouchable now IMO in any Simmons trade.

I agree. My only concern is that it seems like Morey is so in on Lillard that if he became available, I could see him including Maxey to get the deal done. I wouldn’t do it, personally. Not trading a 21 year old who is showing star potential for a 30+ year old PG.

There was a random guy a few pages ago. Literally the only person in the world I’ve seen so far. 

@JayEcho

from klutch (shams):

Charania alluded to the fact that Simmons’ return to play might not be just a 76ers issue.

"Even if he was traded tomorrow, he wouldn’t just suit up and play. He needs to get right mentally.”

You a$&hole. A blind person knows that if the league chooses your GM thus controlling your ability to pick talent. You're at a disadvantage and they're sabotaging you. Almost everyone out west could be on our team right now. Who gonna guard Kevin Durant? Gianni's? Ben is a crazy good on defense. You knew what he was when you drafted him.

Ben is that you?!?

Way to pump up that trade value. Who the F is going to trade for this dude anymore? 
 

Don’t care how they get rid of him at this point, just make him go away.

Dude is legit, and he’s pretty much the anti-Simmons. Works hard, listens to vet teammates and coaches. What stood out to me in that piece is how he takes it to heart when Green has gotten on him about passing up open shots. Something Ben has refused to do for years. 
 

I was opposed to including him in a Simmons trade all offseason when it was being mentioned, and at this point he’s close to making himself untouchable. 21-years old and already doing what he does on the court, and getting better all the time? Yeah, you can’t trade that dude. If they were dumb enough to do it, they’d look back on it a few years from now and wonder WTF they were thinking. 

Agree.  I've been with you on that.

Yup.  I've been a big Maxey fan.  I didn't really know much about him coming out of college.  I just saw his quickness, work ethic and quite frankly personality and had a gut feeling he could be an All-Star level player at some point.  He kind of reminded me of Fox as a player except he didn't run the point in Kentucky.  He's not at that level yet but he's got more potential as a shooter already.

Funny thing- I HATED the pick because we needed shooting and he wasn't a shooter. He changed my tune real quick in his rookie year.

I mean he really has every tool in the bag on offense and has the explosiveness to keep defenders off balance.  He can finish well at the rim, can hit you with a floater and his pull up game is coming along.  Just a matter of him perfecting everything.  Unlike dickbag simmons, I have faith he'll put in the work on the aspects of his game that need work.

Is Springer hurt? Why didn't he play in the G League game?

Disagree. If his trade value is irreparable at this point and he’s not willing to play ball, fine him and let him rot. F him.

he was called up to the sixers with all the guys they've had out...but he's heading back down for tonight's game:

 

Philadelphia 76ers rookies Jaden Springer and Aaron Henry have been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats in the NBA G League, according to Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire.

Springer and Henry have seen minimal playing time with the Sixers, each logging just two minutes of action. They previously participated with the Blue Coats during their training camp last month and are now expected to play with them on Friday versus the Maine Celtics.

Funny part is they have the same trainer.

Yep Ben in Slavery. And I ain't received my reparations yet. You could fix this easily. But you won't because you don't value who got you here and who can keep you on top. If Ben represents Sampson, by all means don't let the building fall on you.

12 starts at PG, and already 2 30+ point games. Averaging 4.7 assists so far, which is already more than double his rookie average of 2.

I would really love to see a backup PG brought in though. Shake for Brunson is a great idea. Or nabbing Pritchard in a boston trade of one happens.

Brunson is so so important to the Mavs. Tyus Jones is more likely

Ill take that too. But the Mavs didnt extend Brunson. So could that tell us something about their opinion on him?

Thats been spurring trade rumors. 

 

I’d probably do this deal even though i hate losing thybulle. Brown is a good defender. He’s not Simmons but he’s good. Since coming into the league his defensive ratings have been 109.6, 104.7, 108.6, 107.7, 112.7 and 106.3. He also gives us more scoring from the wing and i think is a good fit alongside Harris, embiid, curry and maxey. I also like the added depth at guard with beverley. I think he’s pest that gets under an opponents skin which is perfect for the playoffs. And a nice backup point.

You do that today and tomorrow. 

Green can play the 15 minutes in back up

I think it makes sense for the sixers and celtics. KAT is a better fit alongside Tatum. And brown gives us what we really need. I just can’t see Minnesota making that deal for KAT even if they want Simmons. I think they want Simmons to go with KAT and Edwards. I do wonder if KAT asks to be traded cause they are once again bad. 

I also wonder if the pelicans try to unload Ingram at 1-11. I wouldn’t be so surprised if Zion makes a push to be traded next offseason. I think there’s a chance he’s not going to sign his max extension with the pelicans and just take the qualifying offer in 23-24

I disagree. KAT and Tatum don't fit.  KAT doesn't want to play center.  Tatum and him want to play the same position.  Celtics would still have no defense at the center position and no distributor.  I actually think it would be a parallel move for them.  For that reason I'm all for that trade.
