The 76ers are making themselves look silly with these offers

 

I understand starting high and asking for a lot during the initial stages, but some of these offers are insulting. I mean, Wiggins, Wiseman and 7+14 is already asking too much. Why tack on the two firsts in your request?

 

The Sixers and Morey act like Simmons is Dame and LeBron rolled into one when in reality he is a half notch to a notch above CJ in value --- I think in reality the Sixers should hope to get either a Top 50 player and 2 mid 1st's or a Top 10 Pick and a solid role player as a starting point and maybe throw in a 2nd or 2 BUT that is IT.

ADDON -- Unless some team just believe Simmons can all of a sudden get his head on straight and learn to shoot i believe the owner is going to have to step in and tell the GM -- OK get a solid package and let's move on stop living in dream land.

 

Morey knows all the other GMs saw Simmons s**t the bed in 7 straight playoff 4th quarters right?

 

I think there will be some serious contributors on the 2nd round. If they are available for cheap, go get some Neil.

 

Stuff happening.

 

Jake Fischer kind of came out of nowhere, but his sources are legit. He had Shamet on the market first. Although he said Brooklyn was trying to move up. Now Brooklyn has both 27 and 29.....I think there's a chance they package those two to move up.

 

That would be a terrible trade for Lakers......good

 

Honestly, even we do execute a blockbuster this off-season, I cannot see it happening until ink is on paper with regards to Powell.

 

The chess moves are crazy. The Buddy Hield deal leaking prompted Washington to act. If this happens I have to imagine Beal is next.

 

@B-Roy any reason you aren't posting these in the stickied thread? didn't realize there was discussion going on about all this here. Thought that was the thread for today.

 

I didn't even realize it got sticked. Woops.

 

He can't be there at the beginning of the season. That will tank his value more and might even cause Embiid to ask for a trade. Watch Simmons traded tonight.

 

"Declined that offer"

Yeah, I had a similar offer of having a four-way with Charlotte McKinney, Brittney White and Kate Upton that was similarly "declined". The funny part is my offer was a LOT more reasonable than Morey's laugh track-worthy offer.

 

He's making offers that are so ridiculous that he's not getting negotiations going. It makes me think he has negotiations with a few teams that aren't just declining his offers and he's making these ridiculous offers that are being turned down to prove to the teams he's negotiating with that he really is serious about them having to overpay.
