Ben Simmons trade thread: Deadline a week away: 19 million he's lost so far

[Monsanto]

This gotta be the most irritating statement currently running on here . Y’all say this every thread


No it doesn’t make sense. Do y’all not watch games .

They won’t think of trading Fox for Ben

Haliburton has potential to be just as good of a playmaker & he can actually score the ball .

You go to Sacramento to poach talent. Both of those guys I value more than Simmons.

Hanging up the phone every time.

Ben Simmons for Colin Sexton, Kevin Love and a 1st round pick.

Lol ain't nobody trading that much for a guy who takes three 4th quarter shots in a 7 game series.

I mean he wants to play point guard, he can rack up assists, play good perimeter D, and get transition buckets but he still won't be much of an impact on a team like the Kings. I mean Draymond does that for the Warriors and they have a generational superstar, and they didn't even make the playoffs this year (health aside, everybody expected them to win one play-in game and make the playoffs as an 8th seed). Kings don't have that to where Ben would even move the needle that much. Just don't see it.

A team that finished 28th in points allowed of 30 teams couldn't use the DPoTY runner-up.... man, you guys got it

I think Portland makes the most sense for both teams

Sixers are always gonna be a contender w/ Embiid.

Best place to look @ would be Portland and trying to get McCollum, but you trade away so much fukking defense for that. You still can't play Thybulle heavy minutes because he becomes a liability on offense.

If they don't trade him tho, they need to move him to PF immediately and start Maxey next season or get Lowry.

They should trade Dame out of respect, but since we both know they won't, this is the next best thing, see if you can build a different type of team around Dame.

With Ben they can create a great defensive team that can also get out in transition to take pressure off Dame. Will it work? Probably not, but atleast they can say they tried something new before they inevitably have to concede and move Dame.

if I’m Dame and you bring me ben Simmons would never play another game in that uniform

I bet Washington or OKC trades for him.

Yup, nobody's trading young talented prospects and draft picks for Simmons. Westbrook or Kemba are very attainable though since there on the decline and already on mega deals

His defensive production wouldn't match what he could give you on offense so what would that matter?

He's not getting them over no damn hump

 

[Harry Sax]

Embiid IS the bag.

I meant Simmons, picks if they have any, Tobias if they can

anything to pair Dame with Embiid

 

[Raquinotj]

Ben Simmons and a first rounder to the Celtics for Marcus Smart and Tristan Thompson

or

 

[Big Mel]

Who would trade for this bum with that contract?

 

[ALonelyDad]

Blazers would be playing 4 on 5 out there with Simmons in the lineup..

I will take 4v5 if my team is not getting cooked by Austin Rivers and Compazzo on the other end

 

[d3323]

The Spurs make sense for him as a destination. Pop can toughen him up and they got that shooting coach Chip Englend who could work on his shooting.

 

[Don Homer]

I'll take Wiggin and Jordan Poole

the fukk u will

 

[daboywonder2002]

Traded? This man has no value and costs a lot of money.Im not attaching first round picks or taking on a worse big contract to unload Ben. Look at this contract. Ben Simmons

Who is desperate enough to trade for that?

 

[daboywonder2002]

33, 35, 37 and 40. That's how much he is making the next 4 years. You better invest in a shooting coach and a sports psychologist because nobody is trading for that right now.
