Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

[Rastapopoulos]

that trade is a cautionary tale for the few Blazer fans that think Portland could trade dame for a big haul. It would never happen IMO. Teams trading30+ year old franchise players always seem to get screwed

I dunno - I think the Rockets made out pretty well.

Wow, there Go the nets

Bye Bye Nets, Hello Cancun.

I guess it’s not that hard to beat a zero

buh bye kyrie douchebag. "we dont need a coach"

Breaking News: KD will sign with the Celtics next season leaving Kyrie

 

[Cugel]

who will want kyrie?

 

[illmatic99]

A sweep is shocking

 

[DDolla]

KD can only win with a Super Team !!!

 

[OneSport3]

At least all the Kyrie-stans can STFU for now. KD did all he could do, but Seth Curry and Goran Dragic wanted it more down the stretch than Kyrie did.

I have to admit I thought the Nets won that trade by a wide margin.

Didn't Philly throw in 2 1st rd picks + Curry and Drummond ?

Who could blame him?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Kyrie at least played (most of the season)

Kind of why I felt they won the trade by a wide margin. I felt Harden and Simmons was a pretty even deal.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

As he sits there and watches his team get swept at this very moment.
Not sure many would trade a lotto pick for him at this point?

I’d trade Blevins for Simmons. That way if he decides to sit another year, no big deal. Nets might have to toss on a pick though, at least Blevins can physically play.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Kind of looks like Toronto might get a win tonight?

 

[Strenuus]

Would you trade our draft pick for Ben Simmons?

Man you hate him on your new favorite team already?

 

[DDolla]

Can the Blazers get Siakam? They guy is perfect fit for the Blazers

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I guess it’s not that hard to beat a zero

You don't beat a zero with a -11 (math!).

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hey, look who was better than Harden tonight:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Can the Blazers get Siakam? They guy is perfect fit for the Blazers

No, they cannot. Nice thought though.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Somehow the NBA has to work out a way to combine the Nets and the Lakers into one SuperSuperTeam.

A 2022 first round unprotected with the right to rollover to 2023, and 2027 top 8 protected first round pick.

 

[PDXFonz]

Jazz might score under 75 this game

 

[BigGameDamian]

Donovan Mitchell Always gets injured in the playoffs.

The cost would be the lottery pick. Depending on where the pick lands, it might be more prudent to buy low on Simmons or Grant.

Right now Ben Simmons trade value is at rock bottom. You know who else has low trade value right…..Russell Westbrook.

I would definitely trade Bledsoe, Hart and the 2025 Bucks pick for Ben Simmons and I think getting Hart and a future first along with cap relief and what they got with him in the Harden deal would be pretty good value for the Nets.
