Trade Deadline Thread

Sixers are getting Jonathan Simmons, a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick for him.

It's worth a shot for ORL

It's a great move for Orlando. If Fultz stinks he cost them nothing(I assume the 1st is lottery protected for a few years) and he has the potential to be really good.

Toronto, Milwaukee, Philly, Boston...I mean it's a free-for-all and I think all of them could give fits to GS. GS still is just way more talented than other team.

Right now with a gun to my head

1. Raptors
2. C's
3. Bucks
4. Sixers

But this is like 1a,1b,1c,1d for me really lol

Honestly we're going to have to see them all play with their new pieces to see who's best. But really you're right they're all pretty much equal, and should make for some great playoffs

Yep. And it's the smart move for Philly as I'm sure you know. He wasn't going to play there much and they needed cap relief. If he turns into a stud they shouldn't cry too much, they built a very good team

Now that we have Jonathon Simmons, the Sixers are the clear favorite.

 

[Bolts]

Still time to make another trade Vlade

I'm not really upset that he was a bust. Draft picks are always a risk. That was the whole point of the process. Of the 4 Top 5 picks they have 2 of them were duds(Okafor, Fultz) and 2 of them were studs(Simmons, Embiid).

But I watched a bunch of his games. He absolutely has talent. And if he can fix whatever is wrong in his head/body he could be a top flight PG. And I fear that he will.

But the Sixers are in win now mode so they simply didn't have the ability to babysit him for the next 2 years.

Watch both series will be sweeps now lol

The deadline is here. The Anthony Davis Trade Sweepstakes will continue into the Summer

 

[The Q]

Celtics probably going home early. That will make this even more interesting.

 

[thunderc]

I’m honestly surprised the Magic gave up Simmons, but then again they let Shaq walk so I shouldn’t be.

Now go into that Laker locker room and tell me how any of those guys don’t always think Lebron is a total douchebag.

 

[wildturkey]

The buyout market is gonna be big this year. There's quite a few good rotational players that are gonna be out there and could help a lot of teams. Kanter, Matthews, Ellington come to mind right away

Keep it down on Ellington, the thunder are the only ones that he needs to talk to.

For whatever reason, you're gonna have to fight the Pistons for him. Reports say they are gonna go after him hard.

I don't know why people don't get this. The Lakers would have aggressively chased a trade for AD whether Lebron was on the roster or not.

Of course they would have, but no one is stupid enough to not know that Lebron and his agent are the ones that orchestrated this so soon. He made his bed, he can lie in it.

Milwaukee going for it !

This.
