    Here’s the latest intel on my end as we keep trying to read the room: With two hours left before the deadline, there’s a whole lot of optimism coming from the Simmons camp. Does that mean the deal sending him from Philly to Brooklyn will get done? No, but it’s certainly notable. As a source close to Simmons who expressed this confidence put it, the only thing that might mess this trade up now is “ego” on the Nets side of the equation. On one side, you have a three-time All-Star in Simmons who could help salvage Brooklyn's reeling season while rehabilitating his image that has been so tattered over the past year. On the other, you have a player in Harden who has suddenly become a (rapidly) depreciating asset.

    Blazers seemingly attempting to get in on a couple of discussions/potential deals, but it would be as a 3rd team and they don't have a lot of leverage.

    Well, Morey has proved everyone wrong in that he going to get good value for Simmons by waiting and get his guy.

    which is such bullshit and obvious tampering. Haynes had mentioned a few weeks back that other teams were already raising alarm about the overt tampering, especially given the connections Harden has to one of the owners of the Sixers. Hope the league does something so this slimy POS doesn't get rewarded like this.

    Like for example, you think his hiring of Phil Beckner was an accident this summer?

    This shit better blow up in Morey's face and I hope he's left paying Harden 200 mil to get fatter on cheesesteaks

    I hope CJ outplays Harden massively over the next 2 months, making Morey look like an absolute moron.

    Chubby Chia on the move. Philly in need of depth now. Badly.

    On the other side of this, if KD gets back healthy and Simmons plays and isn't a complete trainwreck, they could be very dangerous.
