Fuck no. I mean I can't even believe someone would pose this question.
Always ready to amaze you!
Well part of it is that you know neither team would do it so what's the point?
For guards, yes. For Centers I disagree.

You haven't seen Thybulle play then.I was the I’m torn vote.
I've seen both play, albeit Thybulle I saw more in college than in the NBA.
So after finally getting rid of ET you are yearning to watch someone play who can't shoot at all again?
Neither has done really anything in the NBA yet. So, saying I'm torn isn't saying I'm yearning for anything, but welcome to hyperbole 101.
I was high on him too coming out, I thought if Gary Payton could learn to shoot he could but after watching him and his stats the last ten games, wow, terrible.
Besides team-driven hype though, have we proven that Simons is actually all that good? Sure we may look at him and say wow he plays smooth, his shot looks smooth, and we think there is potential there, but he hasn't actually done anything. So far on the year, his Offensive rating is 97, his OBPM is -0.9, his BPM is -3.2. Obviously he's young, but he's 20 and there are certainly 20 years olds who have done better and are currently doing better.
Who knows, some guys never figure out how to play defense, some guys never figure out an offensive game. Plenty of examples of both. Just don't think it's that clear cut one will be better than the other right now.
I find your opinion on this really hard to believe considering previous comments about watching Turner, Aminu, and Harkless play basketball the last 3-4 years.
My opinion on young players is pretty consistent unless theyve actually done something its who knows. Thats how I felt and still some what feel about Zach. Its how I feel about most young players, all were judging it by is our eye test and our judgement of potential. Theres a few young players that have proven they belong, Simons and Thybulle havent yet. So, its just a guess as to which one is going to work hard enough to get better and cover up the holes in their games.
Okay, let's say for discussion it is 50/50 who will be the better player (not trying to put words in your mouth). Wouldn't you lean towards keeping the player who was drafted already to your team, is 2 years younger, and arguably has a higher ceiling?
Sure? I said neither team would do a trade straight up. Both teams would probably argue their guy has a higher ceiling too. That's why I voted I'm torn.
You're torn because the 76ers think Thybulle has a higher ceiling?
Sure. Im torn because both so far are barely NBA players. Theyve done nothing, and have proven nothing at the NBA level and the eye test says they both have a long ways to go to determine if they belong long term, but you know that, that is the reason for what I said.
