that’s actually a pretty big deal……

 

[julius]

Wasn't that the same GM though?

-
Nope. Glickman was the GM back in 77 (era), and Stu Inman was the GM from 81-86, and Spolestra from 86-89, and then Petrie from 90-94.

He needs to make a phone call.

He needs to make a phone call.

I would think he already has

IIRC...

Inman drafted Drexler, Porter, and Kersey (and drafted Bowie over Jordan and Barkley)

Spolestra drafted Cliff Robinson and Drazen; and traded for Duckworth and Buck Williams

I think Petrie signed Ainge and Rod Strickland and Chris Dudley.

I forget who the GM was that traded Drexler to Houston

I would consider being in favor of a CJ for Ben trade ONLY if the Sixers gave Portland a future 1st and/OR Thybulle -- I know some say I am crazy and Morey would NEVER do this but at this point while people want Simmons he is not nearly as valuable as Morey thinks and Simmons by saying he wanted out has kind of tanked his value a little bit and hurt the Sixers. It's possible in a few weeks or months the market for Simmons MIGHT pick up but at this point his value is less then it might have been if Simmons would have kept his mouth shut. I believe Morey and the Sixers have to decide if it's more important to get prime value for him and maybe bring him back to disrupt there legit chance for a ring OR take a little less and move on not give the team the headache of the situation. I guess only time will tell but this is almost the NBA's version of a soap opera so sit back grab some popcorn and a drink and let's see how this plays out should be interesting and maybe funny too.

this also is news. he didn't like 2 days ago. he follows Ben's girl and has been for a while.

this is not insignificant considering how Dame knows his every move on social is scrutinized

Yep, like I said this is big and Ben will feel wanted by a living legend. Get it done Olshey.

 

[Idog1976]

Also Dame has to know the only way this happens is if CJ is traded. Which means he must be ok with that. WOW!

it’s as big as reading into social media gets

It’s amazing that they didn’t win when they had Simmons/Butler/Harris/Embiid.

Terrible. A miss went in.

There's no doubt in my mind that he will be a Warrior. They will probably deal Green in the process and all young assets and picks they can manage. Green would immediately add to the sixers. Heild has never played a minute of playoffs, Green is a multi ring guy.

Sixers need a guard who can create his own shot and score in a tight game 7. That isn’t Green.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Just want to make sure all the CJ haters who complain about “playoff CJ” are aware of “playoff Ben”. Simmons is a very talented guy who makes an impact on the game no doubt. One of the more exciting things if he were to ever come here would be the colossal meltdowns the game threads would have when he can’t make FTs during hack-a-Ben games that’s for sure

This Playoff Ben?

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201904180BRK.html

also- Ben didn’t play in 2020 playoffs and Sixers were swept in playoffs. Don’t forget that.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The madness could be watching teams constantly foul him on the roll and our offense imploding as his tentativeness sets in.

I'm definitely in favor of trading CJ for Simmons. But I also admit there's a grass-is-greener kind of thing going on. CJ is absolutely fearless about taking shots. Simmons....isn't.

Please tell Morey that.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

$38m for 4th option seems bad

It’s not all about offense. On the other side of the floor, he’s first option.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

True, and I know who I’d cheat off of when I wanted to double Dame.

That’d be great. Dame gives ball to wide open Simmons going 4 on 3! I’ll take that.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I believe this came from a rape allegation that proved to be false.

And he was never a great FT shooter to begin with.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

"Shrug"

I have already been perfectly open in my belief we should have kept Kanter. Mock away - we'll see who is correct.

Keep Kanter for what? To sit on the bench while RHJ plays instead?

 

[BBert]

Nope

Really?

The guy really is a head case.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dame got wrecked by NOP and looked god awful, but that one slides? I personally give people a bad series here or there. CJ has only had one GOOD series, whereas Simmons has only had one BAD series.

Everyone understood your point we just thought it was a bad comparison and a reach to boot.

Yes that one does slide. And CJ has had other good series. He was actually good in the NOP series. Also good vs LAC and in his breakout series against Memphis.
