    I don't believe, for a second, the Nets would give up two first round picks to dump Simmons. No way. It's debatable they'd even give up one

    Damn, some of you really need to fucking chill.

    Any more personal insults or bitching about each other is going to get you removed from this thread.

    Please, chill.

    You can't stop me. If you strike me down, I'll only become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

    I'll just make fun of your weird obsession with spoons on our extremely popular and famous podcast.

    Everything's debatable until they do it. I don't think it's that hard to imagine a scenario in which the Nets give up one first-rounder to get Herro and a second first-rounder to get rid of Simmons. Is it?

    that's not what I was pushing back against though which was 2 first's for dumping Simmons

    the Nets might give up a first for Herro; and they might give up a first for dumping Simmons. The even might give up two first's for doing both things although I think that's really starting to stretch things

    or the Nets might simply be looking at Simmons the same way Portland might: that being he only has 2 years left of his deal. The Nets are 10M below the tax line right now and they have 30M in expiring contracts. They have no compelling reason to trade Simmons. And if his back is truly screwed up, the Nets might be able to get out of his contract sooner. Portland wouldn't have that option if they traded for him

    You drunk?:) If Herro can be traded, let Miami trade him and then come back. Since when 6.3 that can shoot is something we need again?
    Tyler is better player than Ben? Idk.

    And what is this obsesion about draft picks? Most of them would be most probably 23, so why is it so important?
    I would rather talk about young players with upside. Hard stop for this Herro bs.

    Preach brother, I'm not sure if I was still on Blazersedge (it's sooo much better here), but I wanted to trade LMA that last summer of his contract. I could sense he was gonna leave. I remember posting that we should see if the Sixers would bite on LMA for the then injured Embiid. I got flayed by other fans for daring to suggest we trade LMA when it was pretty clear to me he might be leaving (didn't re-sign) and that we ought to get whatever value we could for him. OH WELL!

    lol
    Coach Billups really got Reddish back in top tier form. For about 2 games.

    About the only good production Ben Simmons would bring is he misses lots of games. Then Billups can say "you know, with all these injuries, you know, yaaa, I got to put in young guys that don't have the experience to play, you know."

    The Dame divorce stuff is on Reddit now. There’s a girl that people say is with Dame in DR.

    I was so tired of the turn around fade way jump shot he'd always take. He was obsessed with that shot for some reason, and had a really low TS%.

    Pretty certain she's his stylist and nothing more.

    And lol. That photo is from his wedding with Kayla.

    Trust me, I'm on top of these things. Don't believe the fools on reddit.

    Same as it ever was….

    @Natebishop3 you have annoyed me in the past but man, you did nothing wrong and got blasted.
    Its very clear a few posters have serious internal insecurities to have to randomly call you and Bones out for just trying to do your podcast and web things.

    It really is sad how a few keep going back to that as some sort of insult.
    I mean why? Why???? Why??????? do we feel the need to put each other down in such ways??????????

    What happens in the forum should absolutely stay in the forum, but i wish some would stop being so protected. If they talk themselves into trouble, thats on them.
    Meaning, if someone keeps posting shit that may cause them harm outside of this place, then that's on them if they get in trouble.
    Like you, i 100% agree no one should be going after someones employment, job, or life outside of this place. But if someone keeps posting stuff that their employer, family, priest, children, or whoever else would find offensive or insulting and want to reprimand for, then maybe that poster or posters should take a hard look at their posting style and really ask themselves if they are innocent or have a hand in them getting reprimanded.

    Now! You are wrong about Dame. Period! ;)
