    I think at this point I would be looking for some really really solid veteran guys to bring in, just from a culture and locker room standpoint.

    Agreed. Get some guys who are "chemistry" guys and let them keep the young guys positively interacting with each other.

    We will need a few for sure, but I am guessing that they will only sign when they have no other options. Maybe in a month? We really need to know who we are getting back in the trade before we waste money on signing a vet

    I really wouldn't mind still going after McDaniels though.

    I just don't see why Brooklyn would do that..... are they THAT desperate to get out of Ben Simmons contract?

    Why should Dame dictate the deal? BKN has far better assets. Life isn't fair. You should be a billionaire by 60. get over it Dame

    Depends how much they believe he is healed and ready mentally. I would throw them a 2nd round pick as well and sign me up. Play Big Ben at Center for all I care until it is time to extend Shae and Scoot.

    Bill Simmons and his 2 guests all agreed that Ben Simmons contract was by far the worst in the league. He simply does not play. He has a chance to play this summer (Australia?) and he's "rehabbing" instead.

    Now some of the contracts being handed out are absurd but other teams are at least trying to get better and besides re-signing Grant we might have signed a Euro big man that was not good enough in the NBA the first time around. It's no wonder Dame has asked out cause besides that he prolly also saw the rumors of Eric Gordon and Max -- two more guards.

    Awful trade.

    Plus I think Joe and Mike are looking for young proven players, but what do I know?
