I thought it was extremely unlikely we wouldn't have to swap if we traded Harden (unless we hit the top 4 in the lottery) but Miami is kinda trash...
To devil's advocate this, cause and effect could be at least somewhat backwards. On Windhorst's podcast he was saying that he and others had heard...
After watching Simmons last night I'm getting more and more skeptical you could flip him for something like two unprotected picks and a player...
I already pointed this out to you. If a team was willing to empty out their draft chamber for Simmons like BKN did for Harden they could have...
That would definitely be my guess. If so, all the better as that's one less asset BKN has to improve their roster going forward.
In any event, if Morey had some drastically better offer he was sitting on he's got a chance to call Stone with it now if there really is a chance...
We failed Elliot on his physical because of issues with his kidneys.
We waited almost two months to get this offer from BKN. When they finally signaled they were ready to consider getting there we took almost a full...
If the trade was 100% spite we probably wouldn't have sent James to BKN either and let him go exactly where he wanted after all the stuff he...
Instead of gambling on the picks being bad you are gambling that Simmons retains (or really increases) value and that a bad team with a high pick...
He would have netted picks but likely nothing close to the haul we got. What you can get always depends on leverage but if someone wanted to give...
I would take 17-18 Dipo over Beal but not him right now. Not even that close honestly.
This "Ben Simmons is worth a metric ton of assets" premise is also pretty flawed. The entire league knew this potential trade was going down. If...
Morey had like two months to put his deal together for Harden and close to a full day where a deal one way or another looked imminent. If there...
One thing folks need to keep in mind when comparing Les and Tilman is that Les owned the team for a long time and I'm sure learned plenty of...
It's certainly possible Tilman 100% wasn't going to trade with Morey and when Stone got the Nets to basically agree to trade every single asset...
Assuming Dipo would cost the max (who knows), they can easily have the room, but it would cost them more roster depth/assets than if they did...
If the NBA went to the wheel idea from several years back for draft picks, trading for draft compensation would be a lot more straight forward.
It will be exciting to see what this team does once they get together. Making the top 10 to make the play-in tournament is possible but it's way...
I absolutely died when it happened. That is easily the highlight of the season so far. Love the swag there.
