Hawks & Sixers discussing Nerlens/Teague swap

[Omar Little]

So whats the Coli collective ceiling on Nerlens?

Emeka Okafor Jr.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

They gonna end up moving both Noel and Okafor and they're gonna get back pennies to the dollar

 

[Darealtwo1]

Dion Waiters for 4 years, $52 mil coming up

Just finished watching his exit interview with the thunder



7:00 nikka flat out said he still going to continue to take long step back 2s and thats he fav shot and he doesn't care and he isn't going to stop

Dude will never be great. I fully understand why some NBA players don't pan out.

 

[Frump]

It's a bad move, only thing is maybe they're posturing to get the Celtics pick and maybe the 16th for Okafor?


Just a day ago it came out how much they love Dunn, Okafor to the Celtics for Dunn makes so much more sense than Teague who is older than people seem to think. Maybe they don't want to pay Nerlens? But then they'd have to do the same to Embiid next year, he's going to be up for an extension.

They could deal both I guess and have a front court of Embiid Saric and Simmons going forward but that's a lot of trust to put into Embiid who I don't ever see being the same player

 

[Serious]

#hawkset we back.

Trade for a guy who's going to walk after one year

That's what y'all get for tanking. Karma's a bytch

 

[Kang Deezy]

I wouldn't be surprised if they would do this, and still trade Okafor for the 3rd pick but use it on Hield instead

agreed cause an offense with Dunn Simmons and either Noel or embiid doesn't make a ton of sense

 

[Damnshow]

is rudy gay coming to the sixers as well pretty soon? bryan colonics needs to have his own version of derozan

 

[Kang Deezy]

Embiid
Saric
Simmons
Hield
Teague

Would be interesting.

So basically NBA decided to say fukk your tanking, hired jerry so he could fire hinkie and hire his son bryan as a punishment for tanking seasons on purpose. His son is so retarded he is simply going to do his job where he think he is doing a good job when in reality everyone else will be laughing at his billy king esque moves.

Basically he is going to send the 4 year rebuilding plan back to the original state when the team was mediocre 8th seed material

Isn't this what a lot of the coli said should be done though

They said Hinke was an abomination because they had 3 bad years in a row. The consensus on here was that they should have pushed for the playoffs every year so here ya go

 

[Kang Deezy]

Love the deal for Atlanta cause they already got teague's replacement

They were gonna have to make a decision between shroeder and Teague anyways and to do that and turn it into Noel is huge

Atlanta will have to pay nerlens tho either this October or next summer

It seems to indicate horford will not return

As far as philly goes, to me this still doesn't rule out okafor getting moved

 

[AAKing23]

Shams Charania said a deal isn't imminent, that's the only thing keeping me calm right now

I dont know what they said but basically here is whats happening,they tanked 4 years till nba decided to bring one of the worst GMs of all time to turn this team into who they were 4 years ago before they started tanking. Basically they are saying to sixers fans (if they still exist) fukk your 4 embarrassing years and get back on this treadmill

 

[Kang Deezy]

Philly could realistically ask for atlanta's first rounder too if they have one

 

[SchoolboyC]

Even if it doesn't happen, it just prepares you for what's to come

 

[Jerz-2]

Also would think that if Atlanta did this, it would mean they're not gonna bring back Horford

I disagree. I think the only way that Nerlens Noel works in Atlanta is if you played him alongside Sap and Horford. #Hawkset desperately needs interior defense and rebounding, he wouldn't even HAVE TO score.

So I have no issues with this whatsoever.

If Atlanta does this, and then signs a legit wing?....
