Truth is none of us know how it all went down. Im sure though there, are favors given all over this league.
The Sixers could trade Simmons and Tobias Harris right now in a multi-team deal that would bring them back primarily expiring contracts. This would give them enough cap space to outright sign Harden this offseason, but such maneuvering risks losing assets for nothing in case he changes his mind.
My memory was that they had some serious fallouts more or less due to Bill Gates, but at the end of the day, their history was long and deep enough they remained friends until he passed away.
Of course, relationships are usually romantized after someone passes away, but there is this... https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...tor-to-steve-ballmer/articleshow/66268994.cms
So is it suppose to be a win for our team to give two of our very limited assets away as "a favor"? We're not in a place to doing favors to get under the cap. If people think that's an okay justification... You're wrong.
Only 3 out of initial 9-man rotation will be playing tonight. 1 starter out for season 2 starters traded for... I'm not sure what you want to call them, but none of them will be playing tonight 3 of our 4 bench players are injured (but 1 of them sucks, anyway). Opening Night Rotation:
Happy for Norm but sad for us. Do you think the Blazers will make similar video for... Eric Bledsoe arriving here?
I think the only justification for this trade is because we're trying to keep our Winslow (credit to Kanye for the pun).
Cannot believe the shit return from this trade. Only possible justification I could see is if Norms value was much lower than thought throughout the league and he is basically viewed by most GMs as a toxic contract that we might have to put a first round pick with to get out of in the summer. I've now cancelled league pass and slingtv (NBATV TNT) and I'm unlikely to buy it next year until I see a roster that can win games, which seems very unlikely. Id expect we try to win with Dame next year, it clearly fails, and he's either traded or cashes in his 60+million per year super max while this franchise is ever more irrelevant each season.
