He draws a defender, unlike Simmons did.
I've left Simmons out of the discussion, other than as trade value. I'm talking more about Curry.

I get that, but if Simmons trade value wasn't shit, the Sixers might not have had to trade Curry.I've left Simmons out of the discussion, other than as trade value. I'm talking more about Curry.
while I like what Harden has brought to the team, I think they can put something together that is better for next season.
Simmons put them in such a bad spot...fucking asshole.
I get that.....Simmons is the reason you have Harden though.
As far as next season, Sixers are limited to trades and the taxpayer MLE.

I get that.
that's how trades work.
but Simmons is also the reason we had to trade for Harden.
and also the reason we had to throw in Curry and Drummond and 2 firsts.
luckily Green has been stellar during the playoffs.Something had to be included to bridge the $14M gap from Simmons' salary to Harden's. Danny Green is a tough sell at this point. If they had traded for McCollum, no salary gap (and maybe that happens earlier in the season?)
I think Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith actually laugh at this dude’s hot takes. He’s off on nearly every point he’s tried to make.
I'm not sure. Like I said earlier, one of the things about Harden is that he draws a defender and helps pull the double team off Embiid. Simmons didn't do that because he was never a threat beyond the 3-pt line.Would you be happy with Simmons playing defense and taking no shots as your PG this season?

it's essentially what we would have gotten from Curry, IMOHe has stepped up his shooting in the postseason (albeit with a few bad games, but also a few excellent ones).
Man, McCollum would be a nice fit too but apparently Maxey cannot play full-time PG. Still don't think that is a huge issue. CJ and Maxey can both play PG at times. They won't have the facilitator they have with Harden but Mccollum is more efficient, a better shooter and better defender.Something had to be included to bridge the $14M gap from Simmons' salary to Harden's.

that would be interesting
while nothing is over until it is over...Who knows how really the McColllum rumors were, but that always seemed like an interesting fit to me.
Whenever it’s time for his next deal, that’s all he can reasonably command…25-30 a year.The first option is extremely likely.
The second option is less than 1% chance he takes $25M/year lol. The Cavs have a better chance to win the lottery this year than that.

I don’t think Harden will opt out, he’s not turning down 47 mil for a seasonCommand and expect are going to be strongly at odds this summer I predict...
