Can he and Maxey play together?  They seem to be similar in style.  Maybe Maxey can become the shooter of the two.

Maxey is best off ball anyhow. @mr_huntand I have been saying he is a Colin Sexton, Lou Williams type at his best.

Take away his responsibilities to run can offense and he will flourish.

He is borderline All Star this year and his defense is legit legit. At 2.1 steals and his assist to turnover ratio is crazy at 3.6/1. Ben's best year was 2.4/1. Murray is 6'4" with a 6'10" wingspan so he can cause havoc on the perimeter. 

Sixers probably could have gotten him in the summer and not sure now.

I woke up in a good mood and after reading this, it is making me pissy lol.  I hate Ben.  I freaking hate him!

The moment passed re: Murray. Just too risky of a trade for SAS at this point to move him for Ben with all of his red flags and warts. 

One step back (wagering Bens value in a deal to shed Tobias) for two steps forward (signing max contract balla this coming offseason) is the path now. Also addition by subtraction in getting off of the Ben contract and being able to have actual players fill the void will help. 

I like Murray but feel like if that was going to happen, it would have happened already.

The return package might be even worse if have to attach Harris

I’m guessing the reason they added Harris is that they are attempting to try to get some peripheral pieces but really some expiring contracts at the end of this year or next year so that in FA this year they have a max contract to either sign someone or use expiring contracts in a trade for a max player in a sign and trade.  

otherwise with 2 years left after this year, Harris adds very little value to any trade with Simmons. 

Assume toe bias and Ben wouldn’t end up in the same place. Wonder how many 1sts we’d have to attach to get anything decent in return 

Ben Simmons is now a WWE punchline 

 

 

 

Do it

The Hawks saw first-hand how Simmons crumbles under pressure… I’d think of all teams they’d want nothing to do with him. 

They have John Collins so not sure they need Harris. 

I wonder who the players are that they are targeting that would require Harris to be included. 

Would think we can now get Ingram + for that package.

Let's not forget that the ESPYs humiliated him in front of the entire sports world.  He has become the Ted Cruz of sports.

Just heard on a pod that Collins isn't happy so he might be available. Still need a 3rd team for more value and a guard 

There is also a protected 2022 first from Atlanta that got cut off.

Atlanta's GM went on a podcast the other day and said that it was a mistake to bring everybody back.....sounds like he wants to blow it up.

 

More probably has to go back to Atlanta, but I don't think this is a bad haul and helps all 3 teams.

Actually, scratch that - I turned off Bird Rights rule for Collins, but I forgot that the Trade Deadline is before his deadline, so I don't think he can be traded this year.

If I'm getting off that Harris contract then not sure I want a massive one back in CJ anyhow. 

Something I just read in an article

"Spears also reported that the Hawks had interest in a trade for Simmons until the 76ers broached the possibility of including Harris."

Now if you want Simmons then Hawks helps us find a home for Harris

Brand still having a job after that off-season is ridiculous. Kept the wrong guy, gave a massive contract to the wrong guy, and signed the wrong guy.

Brand's position seems pretty much ceremonial at this point.
