Agreed. No reason to send Maxey with that if the Nets are turning the page on Harden. They won't be able to get better for their squad than Simmons.

You can’t get him without the nets help

You cannot get him through fa without dumping both Simmons and Harris for nothing
Simmons and Harris for expiring deals and buyouts. It might mean they bring back like a Kevin Love and John Wall and buy them out immediately

And they will be competing against Simmons plus Danny Green and picks to the Wizards for a sign and trade for Beal who is younger. No reason to include Maxey in that.

Honestly that's another issue with the sixers. They only want to give up Simmons while teams will want another player which complicate things even more

With the growth that Maxey has shown and the fact that he's 21 years old, it's not out of the realm of possibility that 2-3 years from now we see the Sixers didn't just send the best player in the deal, they sent the two best players in the deal. Maxey should be a piece they hold on to.

Gotta be more moving pieces though even if they don't move Maxey. It's just Morey probably wants it straight up but that is just not realistic imo.

Harden for Simmons, Curry and picks

I don't think anybody wants Harris and that contract. Thybulle? Maybe but people who scout him may be disappointed that he is a zero on offense. His 3 point percentage has actually gone down despite him apparently working on it.

That makes sense especially with news of Joe Harris maybe not being back soon from injury.

Your team is raising some Hell in the East.

Fred definitely deserved the All-Star nod.

I fricking love Barnes.

But, I hope Tyler Herro gets the injury replacement nod.
He might get it for Garland. His back has been hurting him…from carrying the team lol

wonder who will take Durant's spot in the East.

Think it comes down to Ball, Allen or Brown.

Charlotte not having an All Star makes me think Ball is likely. Game is in Cleveland and Allen has been one of the, if not the best defender in the East, helps his case.

Brown is probably the most talented and the Celtics have been on a nice run lately.

Tough choice. Of course I hope its Allen.
Helping is being here as mentioned also if they feel like they want a true center (as West has 2-3 and east only has Embiid).

also wonder if Garland not playing is an option due to his own injury. I think he'll give it a go as only 15 minutes or so and not like he'd need to go all out....of course, also his first and no lock he goes to more.

So, Chet, Paolo, Jaden or Jabari with that Clippers pick?

* sobs quietly *
You all are winning too many damn games without PG! Stop it.

He's playing great.

He and Mobley look like cornerstones.

Memphis obviously have the best collection of young talent.

A case could be made the Cavs are number 2.

But, Atlanta, Bulls, Raptor fans might call cap.

Cavs would be my choice.

Lol @ the fly, Pelicans...fly.

Fat ass Zion should be shame.

I think Toronto is the 6th best team in the East right now.

Siakam, OG, Barnes, Van Fleet, Trent Jr is a legit starting 5.

Siakam has an All Star case. Van Vleet is a legit all star. OG and Trent can play. Barnes is a spectacular rookie.

Especially with Rubio and Sexton out- and Garland and Markkanen hurting- Raptors are better than the Cavs right now and probably still better even when Markkanen and Garland are back. Charlotte might be too.

Ball, and Bridges are both fringe- All Stars. Hayward is a good player. Rozier is good. Oubre a very solid 6th man. PJ Washington can play a little. They have assets to make a deal with Kai Jones and Bouknight if they want to.

Cavs need to make a deal if they want to make a push this year. Maybe thats not the right move either depending on the cost. I just hope they dont get pressured into a stupid deal and move Okoro or Osman, or trade their first for a marginal player.
Hard to disagree with this when it comes to Cavs as is (even with LM and Garland playing). No doubt garland needs another playmaker to help him.....and Toronto and Charlotte look pretty good.
