And the best thing about that trade....sending Simmons to that craphole known as Sacramento.  It's a pit of a city in the middle of nowhere.  

 

I don't want to give up Mattisse unless we are getting a star back.  We need his defense.

that's a tough one because statistically, the only thing barnes does better than tobi is shoot threes....and it's basically 1 more made 3 per game difference. tobi has the edge in most other categories...including rebounding where the sixers already struggle. hield shoots threes well...so he would help there.  and we'll see what hali develops into. 

but that trade would kind of make the sixers even smaller.  meh. 

Harris is at 7.4 rebounds and Barnes is 6.1 so minimal difference. Barnes shoots 41.9% on 5 attempts from 3 and Harris is 31.3% on 3.8 attempts, thst is a pretty big difference. 

Barnes is owed $18.35 million next year 

Harris is owed 38.48 and 40.9 million.

yeah, i wasn't really factoring in the 1st round picks.   

is haliburton that good?  i remember him basically doing nothing when the sixers played them. 

Haliburton has averaged 23.5ppg, 11.25 assists, 4 rebounds and shot 52.9% from the field when Fox was out with COVID. He can play.

Sounds like a ton of postering from each side. Just hope it doesn't turn into a Kings/Pacers trade and leave the Sixers out of it.

I feel like there has to be a reason the Kings/Sixers leaks keep showing up.  It’s like two friends who constantly flirt and yet act like they don’t like each other. Just get a room and get it over with.  
 

I feel like the Sabonis rumor is basically the Kings flirting with someone else hoping to make the Sixers jealous.

No, Sabonis definitely wants out of the Pacers. They are putting him more on the perimeter when he is best with his back to the basket. 

Sabonis just seems like a Spurs player so I'll say he ends up there.

Don't lose sight of the fact that it makes the Sixers' payroll considerably smaller as well by removing a significantly under performing contract.

Embiid is going to drop 50

Nothing like putting what may have been the worst quarter of the season right next to what may have been the best one.

Comes from Klutch mouth piece.  Basically Ben saying "oh F don't banish me to Sacramento".

Durant out 4-6 weeks with an MCL sprain

true. true. my bad. i was really only looking at if from a talent perspective.  when you add in the 1st round picks & consider the more movable contract they'd be getting, it makes more sense. 

Sabonis sprained his ankle last night and rumors are it didn’t look good. That’s great for us.

The Pacers must be cursed.  They announce they are sellers in a sellers market and two of the primary trade pieces get hurt before they can make a deal.

Thats kinda how I felt when there were rumors of tading Wroten for a 1st, and then he tore an ACL and I dont think he ever played again. 

Did Morey say anything useful during his Mikey Miss interview?

He basically said that they are willing to hold off if the deals they are offered will not put them into the top 3 teams with a chance for a title.  He also said that because Joel is playing so well, he may be ok getting a top 40 player vs a top 30 player.  He also mentioned that there were players on Sacramento that he would be willing to deal for but obviously did not mention names.
