Unless the Knicks blow us away. There isn't a star with the superstar potential that Simmons would bring us, that's on the market and Philly is a place where Dame would contend next season. So even though it's not listed. It is the most logical place to get a package that starts with Simmons.
Same. Simmons prove he can’t be the #1 option. Great defender, just not someone worth building around and getting headaches from. Dame for Wiseman, Wiggins, #7, #14 would be fun Dame for #1, Grant, and Cory Joseph Dame for #2, Wood, and Gordon.
The second and third deals don't make sense since those teams would be even worse with Dame. I'm looking at Brown, 3 firsts and 2 swaps. They can have Covington too.
Come back to me when Simmons averages 30/14/6. They're not really similar players at all, no matter how much you try to make the comparison.
cuz Giannis continually works on his game and isn't afraid to fail because of the effort he has put into getting better? They're not even in the same breath of players. I love Ben irrationally, but it's hard to deny that he has gotten worse every single year in the NBA. Giannis' trajectory has been the exact opposite. Ridiculous comparison.
Giannis hasn't had to try and put those numbers up with Embiid in his way. Just saying that Simmons size, athleticism, and ability to pass, dribble and drive make him a freakish talent that has been being forced to play around a much more demanding talent in Embiid.
Uhh Embiid is literally the perfect big man to play next to Simmons. That guy can shoot 3s very well. He done more to work around Simmons than Simmons has to work around him
No joke though, if we trade Dame I’m irrationally excited to see what Nassir Little can do with a 30% usage rate.
Simmons makes the most sense. CJ Powell Simmons RoCo Nurk We go from one of the worst defenses in the league to one of the bests. I love Dame but this team ain't winning shit running it back so I'd rather trade Lillard than do nothing.
