    Earlier rumor was that they wanted to dump Harris' contract along with Simmons. That's a huge amount of $$$, and this is basically the only trade that will match salaries.

    I don't even dislike you. There legit like two guys plus Natt and really my SOLE gripe with him is the endless Simmons bashing. People who bully others, get personal or otherwise are lame are who usually frustrate me. I don't mind opinions I disagree with as long as they are couched in some sort of argument and aren't repeated ad nauseum for like 4 months straight. I got a lot going on right now and that post just pushed me over the edge. I also did quite seriously read it as Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm still kinda weirded out by that lol. I am sure it's due to that meme, but damn.

    I hear Dahmer absolutely feasts on the defense in prison ball though. ;)

    The problem is you think I’ve bashed Simmons for four months nonstop when I haven’t. And I HAVE stated reasons why. Maybe you are clumping all the Simmons bashers together and thinking it’s just me. If they get Ben I hope for the best. He’s a great player. He’s just TO ME totally unlikeable. I like him as much as you like me.

    I listened to the full Morey interview. Basically, he wants a top 40 player with a good young player that is on the level of Maxey. Nassir Little fits the bill. But if I was Portland, I would just use Nance or Roco to get that young piece to package with CJ with whatever else. You can even use Norman Powell to get you more assets to package with CJ and Roco or Nance.

    He did say that this almost certainly needed to be a multiple-team deal. Indi with Sabonis and Kings with Fox are the ones in the conversation.

    Lakers trade Westbrook and Talen Horton-Tucker to the Knicks for Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks?

    I ask myself every time before I hit submit, "will this post upset a bunch of people I have never heard of or care about on the internet?"

    And then I remember I don't give a shit and I hit submit anyway.

    I am pretty sure I like you more than you like him. I'd NEVER compare you to Bill Laimbeer and I don't even know you. Have you forgotten how many times he tried to seriously injure players? With a name like Calvin Natt, I'm guessing you're at least a few years older than me (45) and perhaps you have forgotten, but he was pure poison. Simmons isn't putting on a good look at all, but damn bro Laimbeer? That guy was like a top 3-5 dirtiest players in NBA history. When it comes to attempting to seriously injure players maybe, maybe Bruce Bowen was worse and that's it IMO.

    You simply can't compare a "prima donna headcase" to Bill Laimbeer and not expect those of us old enough to remember watching Laimbeer play not call you out and harshly.
