Covingtons time as an elite trade chip is over. Adding him as an expiring would have to be pretty underwhelming for the sixers I have to think.
Yes but every night Simmons is 0-0 from deep
Philly wants more draft picks.
Love fits better than Drummond. He can shoot 3's.....
I disagree. Simmons has stepped all over his reputation and has over played his hand. He’s acted like he’s Brow or Harden and he’s just not that guy. Unlike those guys he also has 4 years left on his deal. It would be a different story if his plan was to show up and be a distraction. He’s gonna stay away. The team can wait it out until they get a deal that will work.
Tis true tis true haha.
Sure they can. Simmons has fucked this up. First he blames Doc and Embiid who had his back all year but couldn’t offer bullshit at a presser after they were the number 1 seed upset and eliminated. Most recently, Simmons wants to throw a fan base under the bus that gave him standing ovations and support at home playoff games when he took to the line. Simmons has shown the world he’s an asshole. He can sit forever as far as I’m concerned and the fanbase will support that move from Morey and Brand waiting him out. They won’t support an underwhelming deal. Low key…this fan base now wants scorched earth. They would delight in Ben Simmons rotting in obscurity.
You’re taking about a 15 minutes a night position. At 30 million dollars a year. Kevin Love has no value to the Philadelphia Sixers. In fact, I would say he has negative value. If I’m Morey and i am working with Sexton Markk and picks from the Cavs, if I have to take Love back then I want Garland over Sexton, add Okora and now it’s 2 picks instead of one.
They aren't giving up Garland and the Sixers are really in no position to demand him.
If he were around the facility you’d be right. But it will be out of sight out of mind. If I’m Harris and Embiid on press day, I tell the media before they ask. Don’t ask us about Ben Simmons. He doesn’t want to be here. He’s not a part of us. You can ask about him but we aren’t talking. Go chase that story somewhere else. It’s not what we’re about. Dude quit on us. Go talk to him. We have nothing to say. Nip that shit in the bud immediately.
There’s likely better than that on the table with the Kings and maybe Denver. Kevin Love has negative value to the Sixers. He would get 7-8 minutes a night now that they’re already committed to Drummond as a back up 5.
The only piece on the Wolves I have any value for is Edwards. I want nothing to do with D’Angelo Russell. The Wolves need a third team in order to get Simmons.
I agree, nobody should want Russell, I just dream of the day he is gone. I think Beverly/Beasley and some combination of McDaniels or future picks could get it done. That allows the 76ers to retain at least some of the perimeter D and add 2 to 3 good 3 point shooters to unclog the paint for Embiid.
Balmero as well
