    i was asking a serious question. in nearly a decade, has there ever been an instance when he has made a move after hinting at it, or you having heard about it in advance?

    this isn't morey spinning shit in the media every chance he gets.

    I honestly don't think Simmons and Dame would work. Simmons without the ball is largely pointless, and Dame is a lead guard, not a shooting guard.

    Seems a lot less likely than before the draft. They've kind of fallen in love with Kuminga and Moody, so it depends if Philly REALLY wants Wiseman (which I doubt).

    Why would Portland trade for him if he said he doesn’t want to be here?

    In this case yes. In the New Orleans case maybe. If it was Portland then I would say he is a POS.
    In principle, I don't like it when agents maneuver their clients to the bigger markets.....if that is what he is doing. It has nothing to do with Paul.
    I have felt that way since 1975 when Kareem forced his way out of Milwaukee and said he would only go to two cities. Now if I was a Laker fan I would of course, think differently. But living here in LA only makes me hate them more.

    what Paul did with AD, and what he did with leveraging Lebron's contract/extension with guys like KCP/Harrell/McLemore/etc was shameful. Dude even called the Lakers "us." It was 100% dirty as f. But I also think vitriol against him is a function of him conducting his business in the public instead of behind the scenes like other agents.

    That said, there are no substantiated reports of him angling to get Simmons to LA.

    Some article posted in here said Olshey supposedly offered anything but Lillard or Roco.

    Trying to think what would be the team that could get the best out of Simmons. Consensus seems to be Minny (he and KAT certainly seem to complement each other) but can the Sixers do better than what the Wolves can offer?

    Interesting. I wonder if RoCo would be on the table now we have Nance Jr.

    Laker fans are probably offering the corpse of Marc Gasol for Simmons.

    Sure. But you seem to be confused as to why and seem to forget that you were one of the ones defending him when his prima donna bullshit has been proven to be true. Now your tune has changed to it's justified...

    Dude, WTF changed?! Good Lord, you just keep making up shit now or are confusing me with someone else while putting words in my mouth.

    I predicted that this (Simmons holding out and not showing to camp) would happen when Morey was sitting here asking for ridiculous returns from other teams. You only showed up here a few weeks ago. I've been on the Simmons bandwagon for a while now.

    How does this make him a prima donna? It's a toxic work environment and he wants out. Why is that so wrong?
