Trade Ben Simmons poll

Fun comments by Sixers fans below basically saying Morey is asking WAYYYYYY too much. Obligatory, FUCK MOREY, inserted here.

 

Zach Lowe pod with Bobby marks today…again, they mentioned that each side thinks the other should add stuff to the CJ-Simmons swap.

depressing that our idiotic gm thinks CJ is one of the best guards in the league and it’s preventing a deal from happening.

 

While I tend to agree that Olshey over-rates CJ, that doesn't change the fact that Simmons' trade value is low and getting lower. Why should we bail Morey out?

 

Because we can proactively grab Simmons with only a pick and maybe a role player before another team gets desperate 20 games in and makes a better offer than we can.

 

Sad. Add anybody but Dame/Powell/Nurk to the Simmons deal and get it done. Even if it costs us Simons. With Simmons and possibly Smith Jr, we don’t need another back up PG.

 

That's what Morey is waiting for.

 

Give him what he wants then. I'd easily give CJ, Nas and a future first for Simmons right now. Let Morey feel like he won the deal and meanwhile we get a player who can transform our defense and give us a complementary second option to Dame if we put Simmons in a Giannis/Draymond hybrid role. This is smart, especially with the way Nurk's outside shot looked last night.

Dame, Norm, RoCo, Simmons, Nurk, Nance, Ant, Snell, Zeller is far superior to what we're running with right now.

 

I agree, although I’d love to find a way to give them Simons instead of Nas.

 

I mean, if Simmons really wanted to screw Philly he would just show up and completely sandbag games ala Harden. He could be even more deliberate, and he'll still get paid for it. Bonus is that the team trading for him will probably not even have to give up as much.

 

wut?

does Olshey think Philly should have to add picks or something?

 

How does Rich Paul not prepare for this scenario?

 

I wouldn’t be opposed to that but Im not sure adding Naz and a pick will do it?

 

Id probably give up RoCo if thats what it takes but would want something back.

 

I don’t see why Morey wouldn’t accept CJ and fan favorite RoCo.

 

RoCo is the perfect SF with Simmons at PF. They get a bench player or pass. Simmons could end up being a massive headache. My hope is that this would be a Chris Webber scenario where at first he doesn’t want to go to a small market team like Portland but then falls in love with the Organization. One can hope.

 

"Shrug" He put a provision in his contract with Simmons that says he gets his percentage regardless.

 

Nance can play SF if RoCo goes out in trade.

 

Not really, I don’t like Nance as a SF, I think he’s way better as PF playing against second teamers.
