Didn’t you predict he might he might be a bad seed for that team? I remember someone saying it.
I'm sure there were a lot of us that thought acquiring him was a negative to their team. He makes no sense next to someone who needs the ball in their hands like LeBron and actively makes any team worse when he plays off the ball.

Yeah. I wasn’t crazy with that trade. It was totally boom or bust. The Heild one made much more sense to me.

No matter if it’s his fault or not, Vogel is toast. No way he makes it past Christmas. He may not make it past Thanksgiving.

My cousin just reminded me that we pulled shenanigans to get the Celtics to draft Tatum instead of Josh Jackson.

Suckers, got 'em!

Oof.

I think quite a few people on here did.

Buddy Hield or DeRozan made waaaaaaaaay more sense for that team.

All those old Lakers are playing great now. Lonzo, Caruso, Trez, Ingram

They passed on DeRozan and Heild also lol

So, could Ben Simmons play pf? Looks like there will be a fire sale in him soon.

I think he’s Draymond 2.0 that’s his role. He could be a really good role player the problem is he’s making a ton of money

Interesting, they played him at "PF" essentially when he had his best games for the Sixers. AT least on offense. I assume he didn't play PF defense.

He's a defensive gem and a great ball handler and passer. Kinda wonder what Monty good so with that kid. It's not a reasonable thought, just an interesting one.

He has the size and strength to defend the position.

We would have to gut the team to get him.

Not really--at least just from a cap perspective. It would have to be a desperation deal on the Sixer part or it doesnt make sense for either team. I am not even going to outline it or I would be laughed off the board.

He has said he wants the team he plays on to have their offense tailored for him.

He can screw off, I want no part of that nonsense.

It's called play him at PF. That would be tailoring for him, since he lacks the perimeter shooting skills to play guard.
