And what I’m telling you is that you’re overvaluing the value of those pieces. How does Robert Williams get minutes on this Sixers team? He’s the only legit player you’ve named. Romeo Langford? How does he get into the discussion as a wing on a team with Curry Green Thybulle and even Korkmaz? Peyton Pritchard is like 4’ 11’’ and can’t even guard me. How does that guy take minutes away from a Curry or a Maxey. Come with a deal that involves Jaylon Brown or don’t come at all. Cavs Kings Pacers maybe Portland can come with better. Shit taking on Russell from Minnesota would be better than that. So why are the Sixers taking trash and sending Simmons to get a rival better. You provide some great sports takes in here but this shit is like Corky Thatcher level retarded.

Was gonna say the problem with piece meal deals is unless the team receiving them has minutes above what they are sending out it doesn't make sense to take a talent hit on a player to player basis

As a Celtics fan, I wouldn't even trade Jaylen Brown for Ben Simmons straight up.

(I don't think I'm a crazy homer, either)

That's why this Celtics/Sixers trade talk is pie-in-the-sky stuff. With Jaylen Brown included, it's horrible from the Celtics perspective... without Jaylen Brown included, it's horrible from the Sixers perspective.

Therefore, not gonna happen.

Fully agree.

When you add that Jaylen is a huge bargain compared to Ben it's a non starter.

When the words "first round pick" follows Philly after that trade sub in the words "pile of shit"

So tobias, Ben and four huge dumps for 2 of the 10 best players in the league.

Beal isn't top 10 but point taken. He is top 20, maybe top 15 barely.

I think even that may be generous. But I’d have to do the full excersize.

I think he’s the #3 on a title team, but that’s also including defense and rebounding contributions.

The article is dated, but the concept is that beal is a gamma.

Beal is top 20 for sure.

And aside from the Nets, there isn’t another team that he would be a 3rd option on.

Even if he was on a team like the Warriors where he might be the 3rd best player, he wouldn’t be the 3rd option because his best attribute is his ability to score.

Yes that last part I agree with. He’s the third best player, but not the third option on offense
