Trade deadline thread

[fightinfunbags]

My guy, Ben wasn't giving you anything running 5 on 5 at the local YMCA.

You got addition and subtraction.

You added a top 10 player and subtracted a distraction.

I’ll be a Kool Aid drinking Sixers fan with delusional level buy in by tomorrow morning (or sooner if Morey can get some shooting before 3 pm) but I need this catharsis right now. Morey blinked and I’ll go to my grave believing he didn’t have to. I think the Nets were going to deal Harden regardless. Simmons alone improved their roster but giving them Curry and solid 5 and two picks that allows them to go out and get more just hooked it up for Brooklyn. And I’ll be real. I have never hated a Philly athlete to the level I hate Ben Simmons and I seriously think this son of a bitch gets a ring now.

Are we sure he isn't Morey's son?

Shit I'm not even knocking the trade either man. Don't know what his issue is tbh.

nd two picks that allows them to go out and get more just hooked it up

Those picks are trash

Yeah it's both for good teams, it sucks being a fan of team in the East especially since the Cavs were looking good and Nets stumbling. This sucks

They are fine if you attached them on to an expiring or a young player. You can do some damage

What if Harden pulls a Jimmy and leave Philly in the offseason

Payne's left nut

Do you think the Suns could’ve got a draft pick from the Wizards if they offered the whole ball sack?

In 2023. He agreed to opt-in. Still Philly needs a championship obviously to win this trade

I am, peak Harden is gone. Now we have malcontent Harden that complains when the refs don't give him 20 free throws anymore.

Cavs biggest thing for them this year is to get playoff experience. Team is just so young that they need to get the feel of things come playoff time. I doubt they're a first round exit, but even if they are some highly competitive games will be very important to their long term success.

Just like when the Warriors in 2013 went to the 2nd round of the playoffs and lost to the Spurs. Took them to 6 games. That was a major catalyst for them. It lead them to snagging their biggest free agent in years in Andre Iguodala. The rest is history.

Someone posted that he’s going to opt into his final year

Seriously doubling down when you're way behind is probably not the best way to do things. Just take a minute to actually read some things on here first instead of just running through a brick wall for Daryl Morey.

When did I say that Curry was a throw away?

You said that Curry was a "vital" player to have. You said that Curry is a better "floor spacer" which is kinda absurd. Being an effective 3 point shooter that can't create his own shot doesn't make you an elite floor spacer. Being a ball handler that has elite vision that can hit a pull up 3 or distribute from anywhere on the court is what makes you an effective floor spacer.

Curry is a 10 year vet who was pretty much always a bench player that was able to be more effective when player with an MVP level player. But catch and shoot role players are not exactly rare.

I would have preferred to keep Curry. But, truth be told, I was on the fence on whether to deal Curry or Green. Because I know Green is a willing shooter. The Sixers were 28th in 3 point attempts this year. 28th.

Whoop dee do

I mean shit Simmons should have been shooting 500 freethrows a day. So he damn well better have improved. Otherwise what was he doing with all his time off?

Her?

Ben Simmons quietly gets engaged to TV host Maya Jama

The Sixers’ Ben Simmons apparently put a ring on it.
