But one is about the trade deadline and the other is about trade ideas for the trade deadline. Those two different topics need their own thread.

Great in theory, except the same couple people make every such thread an endless back and forth over trade ideas.
 
Would Jarred Vanderbilt move the needle?
No, he's not a needle mover in the sense that we will be a 6-10th place team in the west with or without Vanderbilt and we're likely going to be a first round and out team if that's the only thing we do or if we end up doing anything. I honestly believe that Joe will get more done than that. I'm ready to be disappointed but I do think that it's obvious that this roster needs more than an upgrade to a bench player even though our bench does need to be upgraded and to have more size.

So it would address a need but it wouldn't move the needle as far as I'm concerned.
 
Simmons is certainly not worth his contract (mind you, is anyone worth what NBA contracts pay?) and has become pretty much a net negative on offense, but: his strengths were always defense and point guard skills in a PF's body. Has that gone too? He still knows how to dribble, pass and play defense, right? Or have his injuries taken away from that, too?

Imagine a team full of 3-and-D players who can't create for themselves but are knockdown shooters when you give them the ball in the right places. Wouldn't Ben Simmons help a team like that?

I don't think so....defenses would dare him to shoot, like 5 on 4. I don't want a non-shooter stopping the ball swinging (kinda like Hart lately) plus Simmons seems like a nut. He is a good defender/distributor but not worth the contract imo.
 
Wait why?

because JV is being held out 'with an injury'. Sure suggests there is a trade lined up and the rumor is Portland. There have been rumors Hart would be involved in the trade, but if the Jazz are holding JV out and he's going to Portland, the Blazers would be holding out who was being traded for JV. Winslow is already conveniently out. Maybe Little will develop and injury in the next 2 hours

might mean something if Hart plays tonight....like that there is no trade near involving him

Watch out for sixers surprise injuries. They're interested too, in JV
 
who was the least relevant player to publicly request a trade? rudy fernandez?

korkmaz has to be up there

and the rudy stuff i blame nate mcmillan for completely

Conspiracy theorists about guys being left out cause they're in trade discussions.
I get that. I'm saying why pretend someone is injured if they're going to be traded? There should just be an option to sit someone who is going to be traded.
 


Hope Keon's ankle gets better, soon. Winslow being out until after the break ... perhaps GB3 recently recalled will play, soon, as well. Fun time of year leading up to the break.

I have to admit liking what I saw pre-draft about Bolmaro.

Dude, HOW do you still want Ben Simmons?? Fucking figure out what the rest of the league already has.

Jesus Christ! This place is bizarre.
Because we need defense he’s top 5 defender in league also a good rebounder. What you lose in say Nurk and Hart you more than makeup for on defensive end. Again just my opinion
