The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency! (1 Viewer)

The biggest piece (Simmons) in a Cap Space play is now off the table. Does that change the strategy a bit in the next 90 minutes....or this summer?

 

[illmatic99]

And you know this comes with the supermax extension that was clearly already negotiated.

Nothing sacred in this league anymore. What tampering?

 

[illmatic99]

Good Lord. Largest contract in NBA history.

 

[Blazinaway]

I don't think we have any contract or combo of contracts to match Simmons in a trade right now except Dame?

Bledsoe and Nurk are only

Morey proven right.

he gave up too much IMO, we'll see how it works out, Harden looks in decline to me

Really glad it wasn't us who acquired Harden a year ago.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Philly's 32-22 right now and in the 5th seed, and just 2.5 games back from the top spot in the conference. What are the odds that they break 50 wins and elevate their seed to top 3?

LOL @ Morey

“won’t attach any assets to Ben”

And harden has had hamstring issues … for two years now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ok, I'm not saying it would happen but it would be hilarious on some level if we traded Dame to the Nets for Simmons just to shove it down Morey's throat.

 

[RR7]

Chubby Chia on the move. Philly in need of depth now. Badly.

They basically traded curry for harden. How are they badly in need of depth after?

We'll all be watching really close when the draft and free agency comes along and we see what Joe can do with his all important cap space. I hope he's got a plan because I can't really see one.

Why? They can still trade Simmons and if I was them, I probably would. He's not a good fit with Durant and Kyrie.

 

[blazerkor]

A dude that will pass the ball after he gets a touch on offense? That'll be good for Boston.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Wow--that's a much bigger deal to me than Simmons/Harden. Dejounte Murray made him expendable, but Derrick White is a quality PG. He could be exactly what that Celtics squad needs.

 

[DDolla]

Harden to the Sixers. That’s how you make a trade. If Olshey did not wait he could actually get another superstar for CJ to pair with Dame

 

[blazedanugz]

Starting to feel like the blazers are done…

 

[illmatic99]

Spurs are making some really savvy moves this deadline that is going unnoticed.

 

[blazerkor]

I think he's a great fit for those two. They're both buckets that don't play D. Ben Simmons is a defensive specialist, that does everything on offense besides getting buckets.

his contract is a killer

and...

Plays great defense, passes, and they cover his shooting. How is it not a perfect fit?

 

[illmatic99]

Spurs extracted two first rounders for Derrick White and Thad Young.

White and Powell is about equivalent. Contracts included.

Young and Roco is about equivalent. Both upcoming FAs.

Fuck you, Cronin. Dumbass decided to go all in on mythical capspace instead of patiently waiting for the right offer.

Those guys need the ball in their hands. You're not getting much out of Ben if he doesn't have the ball in his hands. I think Grant can get you a lot of what Ben would do for cheaper with additional assets.

 

[B-Roy]

his contract is a killer

and...

Derrick White vs Norman Powell.

Trader Joe shit the bed.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

It's shorter and less than Powell's.

But yeah, giving up the first seems silly.

 

[illmatic99]

God this day is not gonna be good for me.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Looks like we will loose out on the Jerami Grant sweepstakes.

Fuck you, Cronin.

Yup. Still baffles my mind that another team wasn’t willing to give a 1st round pick for that combo. Instead he settled for fucking Keon Johnson. We should have got a mid range 1st rounder.

And it was a week before the deadline….

Bum.

To whom?

 

[B-Roy]

Each day makes me want to pound my head against the wall for that HORRIBLE Powell/Covington trade.
