Yes but Philly lacks a player who can create their own shots at the end of games, and none of those 3 are as good as CJ at doing so. How patient are they?
Philly may not have CJ high on there list, but if they trade Simmons to GS for Wiggins, Weismann ,& those 2 rookies, they are basically rebuilding as well. There's not of lot of interest in Simmons for what the Sixers need in return. They've backed themselves in a corner by badmouthing him, and the fan base wanting him gone. CJ does complement Embiid & Harris' game. He is a better facilitator than what they have on the bench or can get in a trade. And he certainly is a better closer than what they have, or what they can get in a trade. I actually think the Sixers trading for CJ makes a lot of sense. Keeping the pouty Simmons will only lead to a continued riff hovering over the franchise. CJ has a chance to become special in that move.
CJ, DJJ, and 2 future 1st from Golden State to Philly, Simmons to GS. Green, Weismann, and Curry to Portland.
CJ & Derrick help Philly now. The picks are insurance for the future. Golden State gets their young facilitator, that can work with their 2 sharp shooters, and is young enough to begin a rebuild with their current draft class when it's time. This trade is the best of all worlds for our team. Green & Curry are needs now, and finish out the roster and make Portland a contender. Plus Weismann is insurance in case Nurk leaves, or doesn't take the next step.
I'd much rather it just be our two first rounders and take Simmons for ourselves (and Seth if the Sixers are into charity) for the very reasons you just said that Golden State should do it.
Looks like the Sixers need to clear out some forwards to get this guy more minutes: https://www.nba.com/news/2021-summer-league-standouts-day-11
Curry was their second best player when it mattered last season. I don’t think he’s on the trading block.
Steps in, looks around... There's people in here who want to trade a guy who's never afraid to shoot for a guy who can't shoot and is scared to dunk on the Lil Goomba from Mario??? Really??
Oh, I actually wanted to trade a guy who is one of the biggest defensive liabilities in the league for a guy who's the best all around defender in the league. And let's not pretend that Simmons isn't close to averaging 15 and 8 on offense with better ball security than CJ... he also has a better career true shooting percentage than CJ. I do like the artwork though.
Simmons whole mind is fucked bro... He's literally shooting with the wrong hand... It would be a foolish trade. You vastly overrate Ben Simmons defense. Just because HE says it doesn't make it true...
LOL at the description of CJ..."never afraid to shoot". He's never afraid to dribble either. He needs more fear in his game
Needs more fear in his game? WTF does that even mean...? Do less of what you don't like? It's still foolish AF to trade CJ for him. NO one wants him except Blazer fans.. Go figure... One is a walking bucket, the other is scared to shoot with the wrong hand he's been shooting with... It's delirious IMO...
