    I love it when people finally get mad enough to say what they really think!

    The not so hidden message (IMHO) is that the real issue is the people around Simmons. Would it really surprise anyone if that were true?

    Oh yeah thats a well known fact. This is incredible if you’re in the trade for Simmons on the cheap camp. This is great news as it just nukes the site from orbit. Comparing an NBA player’s family to Trump supporters who still think Trump will pull off the win? Just wow. I cant even lampoon that without being even more offensive. Just unreal.

    either doc is aging really fast in front of our eyes or he wants Simmons gone. Only two things I can think of

    Doc and Olshey would have the best press conferences.

    Maybe the Sixers can hire Olshey after they fire Morey and then your dream can come true. Olshey would spend 45 minutes being vague about everything except how amazing he is and Doc could alienate everyone while sounding like he has an inhalant problem.

    If you were GS, why would you trade Green for CJ?

    I wouldn’t. The above reference trade was a 3 way trade, with GSW getting Simmons.

    A) Klay may never be more than a shell of his pre-injury self.
    B) IMHO, Green is already on the downhill slope while CJ appears to have plenty left in the tank.
    C) CJ seems to be respected and liked by his fellow players. Green - not so much.

    Seems like there are 3 possible scenarios here.

    1) Many teams just aren't interested in Simmons.
    2) Morey is scaring teams off with unrealistic demands.
    3) Simmons is privately telling teams "don't bother, I don't want to play for you."

    Place your bets!

    Anytime anyone says "some people" say this, or believe that, it's 100% bullshit.
    Plus, has NBACentral broken any rumors or stories?

    I'll save you the time, no they haven't.
