The harden trade removes the clippers as a potential brogdon trade partner, but potentially makes the heat more so. Also, unlikely, but Grant to philly if Tobias goes out as part of some other deal they make
Don't you know Pat Riley said Herro isn't and has never been on the block.
He's the future of that team.
 
Agree that Harden was not my choice but Simmons did not have much value and still does not. They got two post seasons plus a regular season that Harden led the league in assists. The picks h
ave upside (albeit limited) as well. The ones he traded do/not.
I don’t think I agree. Right now he doesn’t have value but did he really not have any value right after the playoffs? They had to get better value than what they just got for Harden on top of everything else they traded for Harden.

But after the playoffs, he had a player option, so he couldn't have been traded this offseason. Until he opted in, which is when this whole mess started

Did we ever hear what kinds of offers came in for Simmons? I actually never thought Philly would trade him to Brooklyn because why would you trade one nutball for another nutball? It made no sense.
 
Simmons might have more value now than he did then. He was afraid to shot even layups in the playoffs and was not backed up by the coaching staff or players. There was absolutely no way he could return to Philly and had more years left on that monster contract. He then basically sat out a season with questionable back injuries. Still not taking shots in a league where it is almost impossible to succeed if you cannot shoot. Atleast now by taking Simmons you are making less of a financial commitment.
