Goric seems destined for the Mavs and Ibaka would get a lot of minutes with the Nets. No one else would move the needle

It's easier to get a deal done in the offseason when there are contracts expiring for one thing.

There are teams droolling at the prospect of landing Simmons.  That's not changing.

lol. I remember the 12/15 deadline when more guys became tradeable after signing contracts earlier in the season. The wait crowd said something would likely get done then. Well, that didnt happen. On to the next date I guess.

If teams were "drooling” over the prospect of landing Simmons he’d be gone by now. If multiple teams wanted him that badly it would be a bidding war. That clearly isn’t happening.

That's just stupid.

Just as we have seen over and over again with every team that has put a good faith offer forward, Morey asks for the sun, the moon, and the stars from all of them.

Its to the point where it really seems like hes not truly interested in trading Ben. Its more like taking calls from other teams is just a dog and pony show and Morey intentionally is turning teams away just to make Ben sit an entire year out of spite.

Its the ONLY explanation. No GM can really be this delusional. Especially not one who has been so good as to build the reputation Morey has over his career. Hes supposed to be good so how else do you explain this stupidity?

I believe it.  The counter-offer for Ben from Morey in this case is beyond preposterous.  There's no way you can be that sick to think a one-trick pony, who also happens to be a locker room cancer and malcontent, is worth that haul.  It's NEVER gonna happen.  There has to be an agenda here.

Again, you can tell who negotiates contracts for a living and who doesn't.

There definitely is. And any GM who puts his ego/power trip above the betterment of the team should be fired. 

Morey's obsession with #winning by spiting Ben is affecting the teams chances at a championship. It is affecting enjoyment of the season for countless fans. I cant tell you how many people have expressed that they just cant seem to get that interested in this season for the 6ers. Its kind of blah. Its because the stupid Simmons saga is hanging over the entire year like a dark cloud. 

I also saw a fan post on realgm about the team pushing back the season ticket renewal deadline. The theory is that they feel people are cancelling, and the team is hoping to see a resolution to this situation prior to season ticket renewals. Because that can renew enthusiasm for the team moving forward. 

Morey is just monumentally Fing this whole thing up. 

Maxey's shot looks so rushed sometimes, but then it goes in like butter.  Truly a quick release with a payoff.

Stop reading rumors......  It's all misinformation being spread by 3 different parties. 

99% of what is out there is BS. 

The reason these reporters get scoops on trades/signings is because they're willing to tweet misinformation on behalf of GMs, Players and Agents during the negotiation process. 

 

The Bulls are good, but they can’t stop Embiid at all.

Nash said today that Harden isn't getting dealt.

I wanted Morey cause Brand sucked. Now I get why Houston never won and wanted to get rid of him. I've been saying it for years, but they should have gotten Zanik or someone else from the Jazz because that team does more with less than just about anyone.

Brogden has an Achilles issue right now and hasn't played more than 65 games in his career. He is a pass

of course. Thats right now. He wasnt a pass back when Morey passed though. He would have been an excellent addition.

Down the line on potential offers over the summer 

 

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash was asked if his team was going to trade James Harden. Nash was clear about Harden staying in Brooklyn.

"I’ve talked to James and he wants to be here,” Nash said. "And he wants to be here long term as well.”

In a follow up, Nash was asked for clarity that the Nets would not trade Harden. He was emphatic in his answer saying, "Yes. That is correct."

Nash went on to say that Harden has never wavered in his commitment to Brooklyn. According to Nash, Harden's thoughts on the Nets haven't changed in months.

"This has been a constant thing since the summer,” Nash said. "He’s continually reiterated that he wants to be here, and we’ve continually said that we want him here and that that’s our best chance to win. So, nothing’s changed.”

It seems pretty reliable considering the deal didnt get done when they were offering Haliburton, Hield, Barnes, and to take on the Harris contract. 

 

A very efficient 40 points on 23 shots for MVPiid. 

Maxey with 6 assists and zero turnovers.

Tobi with a another Joe Johnson-like stat line.

Doesn’t make much sense. As much as Morey has a hard on for Harden, this deal would be done I’d Curry was their demand in addition to Simmons.
