Signings, Trades, Rumors including Suns and NBA

[TJ]

I disagree.

Ben Simmons is not a good deal for anyone. His attitude, and inability to shoot makes his contract outrageous.

Harden's attitude isnt much better. Always one foot out the door

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nets don’t care about contract.

If Simmons plays the Nets win this trade.

 

[Mainstreet]

Harden's attitude isnt much better. Always one foot out the door

Yeah, he wanted out of Philadelphia.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Simmons is playing. There would have been zero reason for the Nets to make that deal otherwise.

 

[Proximo]

The Nets don’t care about contract.

Ok, he's just a liability in the playoffs, and a bad influence on culture.

Nobody should want that guy on their team.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is unexpected. Josh Richardson traded for Derrick White. I guess Dennis Schroder will be traded soon by Celtics.

He's just selfish as hell. Suck up to him and never question him and he's fine. But yeah it's not exactly a great personality for winning.

Still he is a damn good return for Simmons.

Potential finals opponents for the Suns getting better…

Not really, it seems no team wants Josh Richardson that has had him for long.

The “liability in the playoffs” thing is overblown. They were multiple 24 point leads away from going to the Eastern Conference Finals where they would have been favored to beat the Bucks.

Harden is also a terrible influence on culture. At least one is younger and gives you what you need which is rebounding/defense and play-making versus Harden dragging his ass all over the floor.

Are you seriously more worried about the Nets than the Sixers after this deal?

I feel exactly the opposite, although to be honest I'm not very scared of either.

Guess we will find out.

I would never want Simmons on my team.

Yes. Did you watch Harden this year?

 

[Mainstreet]

Everyone at practice today for Suns.

 

[Proximo]

Yes. Did you watch Simmons in the playoffs?

Smart. Telling Dario and Landry in person that they’re goners is the classy thing to do.

Yeah, I don't think it's happening.

Gordon is the last chance of a deal, and I don't think Sarver wants to spend the money.

 

[GatorAZ]

Yes. Did you watch Simmons in the playoffs?

Yes on a team that needed him to score. Simmons is a nut job but he’s instantly their best passer/defender.

 

[Proximo]

Yes on a team that needed him to score. Simmons is a nut job but he’s instantly their best passer/defender.

He's also a guy you can't keep on the floor because he shoots 30% from the foul line.

Bingo.

Wow! So much for the iron-clad rule that contenders in the same conference will never make a major mid-season trade. I wonder whether we'll remember this example in future discussions.

Nets said something is better than nothing. Players wield lots of power these days.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

I used to think Harden was a bad a$$, but man talk about a diva. Blames everyone else when he shows up after spending the summer at chucky cheese... just ridiculous. And Simmons... bro... you can't even shoot a basketball... and here you are making ridiculous demands. Athletes are so coddled it's absolutely pathetic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nets are still shopping.

The fact that Schroder is still slithering around out there somewhere is keeping me on edge.
Tick tock
