Not really.

Yes. REALLY.

I guess that's it. Entertaining at least

Lee?

He's a Curry.

Maybe if Doc Rivers was your GM.

I like Lee and think he's a solid player for a number of teams. The Warriors just have too many wings to play on a nightly basis for Lee to get any time. Add in that Moody has been balling lately and they have a plug and play guy who could be serviceable in spots.

Curry
Thompson
Poole
Payton II
Wiggins
Porter Jr.
Iguodala
Moody
Kuminga (been playing more 4/5 lately but due to necessity)

Who does Lee play over? Moody would be the only guy at this point IMO and they're not trading Moody.

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

where?

San Antonio? Detroit? Portland? Orlando?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wait.....back to Boston lol

Now you're just arguing semantics of wording. That's @dtgold88 job, stop stealing his role around here, lol.

You said Curry was no pivotal to the success. Mean that he was unnecessary. I.E. he is a throw away as a non essential piece to the team.

I don't know how you managed to turn this into a Seth Curry vs Harden trade, but somehow you did. Congrats. The mental gymnastics on that alone is impressive.

Spot up shooters are significantly better when paired with superstar level talent. Curry's role on the team would have been further impacted, in a positive way, for your team. You don't think the quality open 3's you said he only takes would become more prevalent given Harden on the court at the same time?

Wheeeewwwww.....

Why do you keep putting words in my mouth.

I said "I like Seth Curry. Good player to have. And when he's on, he's fantastic. But he's slow and doesn't like to shoot unless he has gobs of space. He has an average handle and almost no vision."

I said nothing about him pivotal, or not pivotal, to the success of the Sixers. If I were to say something I would say that a one dimensional player like Curry is NEVER pivotal because he is replaceable.

And it is just weird for you to say that I made this a Seth Curry vs Harden trade when it was you that said "Didn't hear all the chatter a few weeks ago. But Curry is a significantly better shooter than Harden. Also depends on how they're getting their shots. Seth is a floor spacer. Harden is a ball dominant player. So from a catch and shoot and floor spacing, Curry is significantly better and IMO a vital piece to an offense that has a dominant Center."

You were literally comparing Curry to Harden. It was you that was claiming that Curry was the better floor spacer than Harden because, apparently, good catch and shoot players are better floor spacers than elite primary ball handlers with effective perimeter shots. I guess Joe Harris is a better floor spacer than Steph Curry. LOL.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Boston got better with White- nice deal for them.

the Nets just got a ton better- didnt have to give up Mills either. Lots of shooting around Simmons.

The Phillies basically are replacing Curry with Harden. Yikes.

Bucks added a center.

Cavs added a solid wing.

Toronto improved.


Heat and Bulls- did nothing.

What is your guys re-ordering of the East after the deadline?

It's funny how a week ago all we heard was how the Sixers needed to give up Simmons plus draft picks plus Maxey. Now we are hearing how the Sixers gave up "too much" because they gave up Curry a late 1st next year and a protected 1st 5 years from now.

I like Curry. But he was not pivotal to the team's success. Harden is just as good a shooter as Curry.

YOU LITERALLY SAID HE WAS NOT PIVOTAL TO THE TEAMS SUCCESS....

I'm dead.

I haven't looked at the particulars, but what's the reasoning for that Dallas deal? More money flexibility? Because while I get that Porzingis hasn't really been that great of a fit with Luka and that team has a ceiling, basketball wise, I'd rather have him than the players they got from the Wiz. Only thing that would make sense is if it frees them up to make more moves this summer and later to improve that roster

 

[wildturkey]

Lakers didn't do anything monstrously stupid! That's a win.

It doesn't look like flexibility, moreso, just hope. They hope Bertans can be an elite shooter next to Luka. Hope Dinwiddie can be a good fit. Bertans was an awful contract but so was Zinger

 

[CitySushi]

I'm pretty sure Woj means that to mean the Lakers are going to buyout everyone on their roster.

 

[raider bill]

They are replacing a guy on the DL with hurt feelings, with Harden

 

[WiggyRuss]

a lot of ifs...

if kyrie can actually play

if durant can stay healthy

if simmons can shake the rust off

but damn....mills and curry shooting around those guys.

gonna be tough

Bucks are tough too- but a Sixers/Nets ECF seems destined.

unbelievable...

can anyone remember a bigger trade? so many times its a rebuilding team---- not the teams who will be either the conference favorites or close to it - making a deal where stars get dealt for eachother.

too crazy.

biggest NBA trade in years- easily.

@DJ

your boy PR was just got shelled and left in the top of the 3rd inning! gun has him at 83--- slider at 68

What if I told you Harden and Curry have nearly identical TS%........
