Notice OFFICIAL Around The NBA Thread- November 2020

Do you have any links that I can read about Brand and the Sixers coveting CJ?

In the last article the writer implies that it would be us that would not want the trade and given Olshey's ridiculous dogmatic devotion to the Dame/CJ back court, I believe it but all of these stories are saying that writers believe for whatever reason that the Sixers want CJ and I'm sure it has some basis in gathered information but you can never be sure.

However there is this but again while he says the Woj rumor is made up he suggests again that the Sixers could be interested in CJ but Olshey won't trade him:

Right on. Well I’m a huge CJ fan than I’d be all in for a Harris/Richardson combo package. That would be a no brainer. Depth, versatility, an upgrade defensively.

 

The thing is that it's a trade that really makes sense for both teams and I really do believe that the Sixers would do it. I just don't believe Olshey will. Due to Olshey already saying that he wants to run it back with this team healthy, I just don't think we'll see any trades involving our personnel this off season or more immediately this week. I think Olshey might do Olshey things in the draft and get extra picks or trade up or down, he may even get a veteran for a pick like he did with RoLo but I think he'll keep all of the guys currently under contract, unfortunately.

For the record I really like CJ between his handle and all of the different shots he has he's one of the best scorers in the game, I just hate him next to Dame. The two just don't work together, obviously on defense but because CJ is so eager to show all of his great skills, the two don't work well together on offense either. CJ passes up too many open shots Dame sets him up with and we don't have a coach in Stotts that holds him accountable for it.

 

Even Twitter flag this one

 

you know they were forced to blow it up when PG and Russ both requested trades, right?


If Dame and CJ both requested trades we would do the same

 

Clutchfans is going insane over all this Harden drama, and I'm here for it.

 

Bucks got Jrue! Holy hell.

 

Jrue is definitely better but I'm not sure it's significant...

Looks like their giving up a ton in future picks too

 

holy hell

 

Three 1sts and two 1st round swaps....for Holiday? Holy Draft capital Batman!!

 

they prolly see it as their ticket to keep Giannis, but no ink has been put to paper on that front. If he bolts, they are done for the next decade.

 

I'm glad Holiday didn't go to Denver!

 

Jrue Holiday for 3 first rounds picks WTF?

 

Just as long Giannis is happy

 

Really like the Bucks trade. Sure, they went all in, but it feels like they were a player away, and now they should completely destroy the East.

 

they coulda just paid brogdan

 

Milwaukee gave a poo poo platter for Bogdonavic. I feel like we could have beat the package of Divencenzo, Ilyasova and Wilson.

 

I thought you could only do a 1 for 1 in a sign and trade? I guess I am wrong.
