If Im Philly Id trade him to the WC.

True. They would probably rather have Beal, but then playing against Simmons 4+ times a year might be regretful.

 

[JoshuaHall]

good luck with that

So they want to get jack shit for him like the Rockets did for Harden. Blazers can accommodate that.

This one doesn't even make any sense. They had the number one record in the East last season, so they aren't looking to do what the Rockets did. I think if they really did float an offer to San Antonio for a young player and picks that's just Morey communicating to the rest of the league that they will take picks to sweeten the deal. They almost have to want someone that is going to come in and improve the team right away.

A broken down John Wall? Melo had a better career....will they take him?

They always say it’s not urgent.

Harden wasn’t traded for Wall

[Idog1976]

good for Kyrie. He’s been great off the court. You know, Astronomy aside.

I wouldn’t consider controlling 7 first round picks “jack shit.”

Nor would I use that to describe Jarrett Allen or Caris Levert.

So you want to give up 2 decent rotational pieces (let’s say, Covington and Simons or little) plus 3 first rounders and 4 first round swaps for Simmons?

If you accommodate that you’re insane

I’d do that deal in a heartbeat

Mostly late 1sts

Houston didn't get LavVert or Allen...They got a broken Oladipo who is gone now and Rodions Kurucs

The picks may be excessive, but Allen, Kurucs, and Lavert for Harden is worth it

 

[riverman]

If Im Philly Id trade him to the WC.

If I'm Philly I trade him to the Jazz for Mitchell and Ingles

 

[Hoopguru]

If I'm Philly I trade him to the Jazz for Mitchell and Ingles

lol...I dont think the Jazz would touch that deal. That would help us though!

 

[riverman]

lol...I dont think the Jazz wouldn't touch that deal. That would help us though!

They're shopping Ingles right now and Mitchell is said to want to be traded....that's a good haul for Philly and put Simmons next to Gobert and you'd have the best front court defense in the league

 

[Hoopguru]

They're shopping Ingles right now and Mitchell is said to want to be traded....that's a good haul for Philly and put Simmons next to Gobert and you'd have the best front court defense in the league

Never heard that about Mitchell! If Philly could get him, wow.

 

[riverman]

Never heard that about Mitchell! If Philly could get him, wow.

That was going around right after their season ended...I don't think he and Gobert like each other much after the covid incident...they may have fixed it but haven't heard much since...I also think Utah is part of the problem for Mitchell....Philly would be more fun for his lifestyle probably

 

[Natebishop3]

They're shopping Ingles right now and Mitchell is said to want to be traded....that's a good haul for Philly and put Simmons next to Gobert and you'd have the best front court defense in the league

There's no chance in hell he's worth Ingles and Mitchell.

 

[B-Roy]

Kuzma, Harrell and 22 for Buddy Hield seems imminent.

 

[TBpup]

And once they get water, it will be there forever because the earth is flat and it won't flow anywhere.

Mitchell has said nothing quit making stuff up

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Kuzma, Harrell and 22 for Buddy Hield seems imminent.

based on rumors or your feeling?

 

[riverman]

Mitchell has said nothing quit making stuff up

Mitchell didn't directly quote it to the media...it was Brian Windhurst and D Wade that brought my attention to the story and Mitchell had a big problem when he got covid with Gobert....I didn't make up shit.....post your own subject matter and dictate to yourself...or not. I thought it was interesting and expressed why....and I speculate about trades just like everybody else for whatever that's worth...nobody needs to agree with it or give it any thought...choices

 

[riverman]

here's one....there are several articles
There are whispers that Donovan Mitchell doesn't want to play for the Jazz in Utah anymore. He wants to go somewhere else. ... Mitchell has not directly commented on the matter, one that was publicly noted by ESPN's Brian Windhorst, that Dwyane Wade is concerned Mitchell wants to play elsewhere.Jul 2, 2021

come on man, that has as much credence as the dame noise.

I didn't claim any of it was fact....I said I read about it and heard about it but I come here to talk about hoops...not condescend...if you want to quote me I ask that you be civil about it or just don't engage....this place should be fun...I've no time for snark.

disagreeing that donovan mitchell is asking for a trade out is not snark. it's just calling out fake news.

that's fine...telling me to quit making shit up assumes I'm the source..fuck that...that's just snark

perhaps it was a bit harsh, apologies.

but come on man, you've been around long enough to parse out nonsense like that. there is 0 chance of mitchell getting traded the year his 5yr max kicks in. and you spoke of that like it was a fact.
