Thibbs...:lol:

Guess it's no harm in asking.

@Sparhawk , @flyerhawk, @bksballer89 , @Heatles84

The Minnesota Timberwolves reportedly sought Ben Simmons in a potential Jimmy Butler trade with the Philadelphia 76ers. Appearing on The Bill Simmons Podcast on Thursday, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor explained just how high the Timberwolves’ asking price is for their disgruntled shooting guard: “One of the things that I’ve heard from a handful of sources is that—with the Sixers for example—the initial offer that they made, the counter-offer was like, ‘We need Ben Simmons in a deal.'”
– via Bleacher Report

Is it more insulting to ask for Simmons or to ask for a realistic return?
I mean, at least Minny can say they ‘tried’ to trade him......

I mean, it's ambitious...

But, Who in their right mind would trade a 22 year old phenom for a near 30 year old that he's just as good as, or maybe better?

It's almost as bad as the Clippers trying to flip Blake for KAT.

Like, be for real man.

West is loaded. Going to take close to 50 wins to make the playoffs. And shit happens.

You can win 48 wins and possibly miss the playoffs.

In other words your comment was pretty stupid


I doubt that happens because they all have to play each other 3-4 times.

Figures that biggest dip shit of the year award would go to a Kardashian. We'll forget that Lebron was the one that carried that Cavs team to 4-straight NBA Finals trips.



That will be the last we ever hear from Tristan.
Without LeBron he is a ghost.

1) So then it would be worse. He would be losing to a worse pippen according to you...
2) You don't know if they will or they won't
3) Yes it would. They were already starting the Kyrie/lebron last year especially by Steven A...Best believe that would be the first thing brought up.
4) You thought Kyrie was a scrub. Now he is ranked as one of the top players in the NBA...Shows how much you know.
5) So, who was the favorite last year? Hint it was Lebron
6) The Cavs came in the 4th seed. That may work in the east but not the west.

So let me get this straight. You think the cavs will do better than the Lakers? In fact you actually have the cavs making the playoffs but the Lakers won't?

That's why all the best players have been migrating to the WC?

:lol:

You do realize how stupid it is for players to go to the west right?

And outside of lebron, what top player from the east went to the east on their own? Meaning they were not traded
