Plausible destinations for our vets?

So you mean like this?



I'd suspect the issue for the Lakers is giving up both a FRP and Knecht, not sure they would go for that.

 

Yeah that might be the case, was surprised to see him averaging 12ppg on 31% and benched the last 3 games.

 

Salary dump for players that have no future on the team. Nets have 4 1st rounds in 2025.

 

So, do we think ANT may have requested a trade? would not surprise me

 

Wiz reported that someone posted that it happened and this person posted something else that was true once.

So I believe yes its a confirmed rumor that Ant has requested a trade.

 

that's the rumor. I don't know if it's true or not

 

Fitting, that he was out last came with a "chest" injury, because he has no heart.

 

The man has reached the highest level of his profession as a starting player in the NBA. Pretty sure he has a heart. What is this desire with people to tear down others who have success? I get he doesn't really fit with the style of play, or his defense is lacking. All legit reasons to trade him. This bullshit about not having heart...Come on.

 

Huh, from where?

 

a long time infrequent poster at RealGM who has shown he does have some inside info in the past. 3 or 4 months before Portland traded for Avdija hs posted that he heard Portland was being really aggressive in trying to land him. Might have been before the trade deadline. So, it at least implies he has somebody or somebodies whispering in his ear

all he said about Simons was that he had heard more trade rumors about Simons in the previous 24 hours than he had heard in months. And that a league executive said he heard a rumor Simons asked to be traded

 

A lot of athletes have talent, but no heart. It's often what determines who succeeds at the professional level.

The real question is, why do you want to rush to a no-heart-haver's defense?

 

Are we really surprised though? They haven't been mentioning him as part of the future of the team. He looks checked out.

 

I know who you're referring to so I just looked up his post....interesting.

Maybe that was the "elephant in the room" that RW3 was referring to.

 

Can we share it? I never go over there.

 

Agree 100%
Ant is a good kid by all accounts. I hope he finds a good situation.

 

As someone who truly has an ear to talks. Ant has not asked to traded. The Blazers went to him, they talked, and Ant is on the block…mutually. Orlando has huge interest in him. They are very good defensively and poor offensively. I have heard nothing in terms of rumors though. Other contenders are interested also. Sounds like the poster on the other site knows a source for sure

 

I'll take the worst of Denver/ORLs 1st this year and call it a day. Maybe wait until KCP is available to be traded on 12/15 since there is no one else to match salaries with (unless ORL wants to move Isaac which I doubt).

 

It was a lot easier to come up with trade scenarios for Orlando when they had cap space.

I could see Simons going there and then we try to deal RWIII and/or Grant somewhere else. I still think LA makes a ton of sense for Grant.

 

Ant does as well. At least to them he does

 

Would hate to see Ant in LA but I'd be happy for him.
