Exactly. I think it’s a purposeful leak to send the message that if your organization values Ben Simmons that it’s going to cost you some major assets and that he’s not moving off of what he thinks Simmons’ value is. I actually read it as a move of weakness and I’m not encouraged by it because it likely means that he’s not getting much of anything he likes in the conversations he is having with other front offices.

there’s no question Simmons value is down from 6 months ago.

Morey needs to find a 3rd team for Simmons and get beal

That’s where I am. When Dame and Beal shakes out their teams can get fleeced. When a star forces themselves out the team shedding the star never gets value back. They just get the best that’s available to them in a situation where they have no leverage.

I would take Simmons and Maxey for Beal.

Feature Simmons, let him rebuild his value a bit and then move him too.

Simmons hasn’t been asked to play the role of a scorer in Philly. Joel Embiid may be the worst big time player in the league to pair him with. I really don’t think Simmons can take his game next level but I don’t think that can happen in Philly. That’s what Morey has to sell. Ben Simmons is a great player and the reason why it looks like he underwhelms is because he doesn’t fit with a dominant 5 that needs to work the paint to be dominant.

Wtf is going on In cle

I’m fairly certain that the Celtics can fit nance in with their remaining hayward tpe

we’ll give you 45 and a future second and you don’t eat any salary to move nance

Hard to believe, when healthy he was an important part of this team and he is on a nice contract. Only questions, can he stay healthy and is this a long-term injury--I don't think so and he is 28. They need a veteran. So this rumor doesn't make much sense lol.

That would be stupid of Minny. Edwards is so young, rookie contract, high ceiling and willing to work on his jumpshot

Sounds like they’re trying to get ahead of a cap problem

man nance fits Boston so perfectly.

If Minny is committed to KAT he pairs pretty well with Simmons. KAT has more of a Dirk style game than an Embiid style game. He doesn’t post very often. Additionally, the difference in defense of Simmons vs Edwards is astronomical. Edwards projects to be a volume shooting scorer. If KAT is still their plan I don’t think the Edwards pairing leads anywhere but more draft lotteries.

I agree it would be a bad move for Minny.

But, maybe they feel pressure to make a move to appease KAT?

Personably, I think they should be looking at trade offers for KAT.

It is what it is. Sure we all make jokes about NBAers with lesser talent. But even the worst rated player in the league would smoke the average joe in a game of one on one.

He's a 21 year old kid that's banked 5+ million. And even if he's not with the Lakers next season at his age some team will be interested in him.
Kuz isn't 21.

Agree. As much as I think Simmons pairs well with KAT he probably pairs better with Edwards game and he would get the kid better looks if they push Simmons to play fast and more downhill. Obviously the Sixers wouldn’t have much desire in KAT but they would work it with a three team deal that sends KAT elsewhere.

Apparently, Pop likes him, which is part of what is feeding the DeRozan rumor.

Ohh no doubt the difference is night and day but it depends what picks Minny gives up too. That would leave them with Towns, Simmons and Culver as their future...if Culver doesn't develop they lose Edwards on his rookie contract and his value. But in the end, isn't Minny going to be in the lottery no matter what lol. For now, it seems like what CLE is destined for unless they can turn it around soon.
