OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: OCTOBER 2023

[kjironman1]

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.

That sucks. I hate seeing that kind of thing. Wish they could just talk to each other and get on the same page.

Sucks to have a private conversation like this publicized.

Would someone please lock this thread? Apparently its no longer October, per the November thread!!!

Solid move by her to publicize her Only Fans account.

This is how we work now. Social media is al people think about and use. So sad…

Yeah. Hopefully he's in on it... Or hopefully they aren't bad enough off for him to stoop that low...

Ouch. Was curious what win shares our players had. Scoot has the worst in the league by far. I am not concerned and still think he is going to be fine though.

Seems like they are using him at a very high rate in order to drive up his trade value IMO.

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.

Win shares after 4 games is worthless. There are some stats that just don’t mean much this early.

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

I’m talking Simmons. Not Harden.

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.

Ouch is the negative win-shares for the Poole Party considering how much they're paying him (and what they gave up to get him).

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

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.

Shot the ball 21 times last night.
Pat has a plan.
