Yes right now that appears to be a huge win for the Blazers. First off I don't see either scenario likely from the 6ers or Celtics perspective.

Plus; Simons would have to improve quite a bit and at that point in the offseason we would probably have serious reservations of trading him away. He'd be there with Dame and Roy as the most talented young Blazer in decades.

Its a bit of a catch 22... for Simons to have the value to make these trades possible he needs to continue to look great, and if thats the case the Blazers should be more reluctant to trade him away.

You could very well be right. The 6ers remain to be seen, I guess we’ll find out by the trade deadline if he’s gone. If CJ, Covington, and like 2 1sts from a Norm trade + our 2nd can’t get Simmons done, I’ll wait for the draft or free agency and I’m coming back with a lesser offer than the original.
I don’t think you can be reluctant to trade Simons away even if Simons averages 20 and 5 if it’s for Brown. If that’s the case that Ant’s performing that well, you remove a 1st. Jaylen is only 25, so he’s young in his own right and is a good defender and scorer.
 
savior of the sixers?

foh.

these phily fans are becoming more annoying than any other in the league.
 
Good... Good. Raise the trade value ant. Be inconsistent with them before they catch on.

I agree if you are saying you would only trade Anf as part of a trade for Jaylen Brown. I would not include him in a trade for Simmons.

Simmons is a 3-time all-star, a two time all-NBA 1st team defender, and a runner-up for DPOY

there is this:

and there's an extremely strong argument that Simmons would fit much better as a starter with Dame (and the Blazers are not going to trade Dame because of Simons), while Dame/Simons would just be Dame/CJ 2.0

CJ was held untouchable for Paul George and Jimmy Butler. Now Ant is untouchable for Simmons? May be that no lesson was learned over the last 7 years. (and would this even be a discussion 10 games ago?)

I’d have an easier time rooting for Draymond, Harden, Chris Paul, Bill Laimbeer, and Hannibal Lector than Simmons. Absolutely the worst.

So nurk likes sun, low taxes and top shelf p***y. Who can blame him? Id do the same if I had the means.
 
Quick is now one of the best reporters out there now since he has been with the Athletic before when he was with the newspaper he got burned out and the team at the time was toxic and it affected how he reported but like I said he has really grown since leaving the paper. Just cause you do not like what he has to say does not mean he knows nothing NOW granted he only knows as much as his sources and his sources could be bad but when i read what he wrote makes sense.

Jesus christ. What an absurd statement. Absolutely off the rails undeserved blinding hatred.

lol. Yeah. Ben Simmons behavior and attitude and refusing to show up all year is undeserving of ridicule and yes everyone should be dying to have him on the team. Fuck that.
 
How desperately does Boston want a PG?

Good Lord, they just fell apart in the fourth with no one to direct them.
 
Don't trade Simons.

Trade CJ. Trade Nurk. Trade RoCo. Trade anyone else.
 
I would hate to see this incarnation of Roco get traded but I know he has value and could walk at the end of the season. Recently he has been a defensive terror and much much better offfensively.

If you can get Jaylen brown you do whatever it takes besides Dame. Damian Lillard is the only untouchable player on this team! That is until he request a trade and makes it be known.

It does feel that way. Though, at least this time, Nurk absolutely LOVES Dame, instead of feels threatened by him.

he’s also not gonna take less to go somewhere else, he’s spent his last contract being underpaid. That was the whole point of hiring Klutch. It’s also funny hearing people say he might prefer the east coast because it’s closer to home. As someone who flies frequently to and from Europe, there really isn’t much of a difference between a six hour flight and a ten hour one. I like our chances of keeping him.
