Some sharks may not and start holding their chips for KAT
Yeah more valuable guys that could be forcing their way out the next couple years.

And apparently, they get to take out the trash on Love's horrid deal. FML if Kevin Love is a Sixer.

You could do worse than Love. Assuming he can stay healthy and remembers how to shoot, he could help stretch the floor. His playoff experience could be helpful too.

I’m hearing they likely get a deal done soon like soon as in a week or so.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the Cavs acquired him Sexton, Okoro, multiple 1st’s and possibly even KLove. Not really sure how I feel about it if it goes down
Wouldn't say impossible but I would, in fact, be surprised if they parted with 2 from among Sexton, Garland and Okoro, especially with an additional TWO #1 picks.

Dance.

A lot.

Guys like Simmons don’t come to CLE very often
That might only be true because not sure there have been any other players like Simmons.

That Lebron fellow was pretty good. so was Love when acquired.

From what is being said about Zion and New Orleans is true, he could be one of them.
would he be the first to force his way out before rookie deal expired under the newer CBA with max deals?

Good call if true (cannot say I followed it all that closely and it was not partly NY's choice because of injury issues). Be tough to really force your way out if a team wanted to hold firm in that case since you are a RFA after deal is over.

Zinger threatened to play out his rfa tender

That's good question. I have no idea. If he's not, I can't imagine he's be more than the 2nd or 3rd to do it.

Disagree. He’s a 15 minute a game guy now at $30 million.

So’s Andrew Wiggins and this board loves him….
At the least you can say that Wiggins showed improvement in his two way game. Love can’t even stay off the IR. From a Sixers perspective he plays a position where you take Tobias Harris off the floor. Then there’s another 36 million that’s wasting on the bench. Love to the Sixers would make me vomit.

Love can steal you a few minutes at c since embiid can’t play all 48

That’s Drummond though. He’s not a fit. It’s like justifying fucking grandma by saying well it’s pussy.

I mean. It’s just salary. If the sixers turn 4 or 5 firsts into dame at the TD or next summer; they’re going to need matching salary anyway

The way I see it though is that once the Simmons asset is gone the Sixers can’t compete for that sweepstakes.

Not necessarily.

Depends what you get back.

Plus you have Maxey, thybull and some first round picks
