Could someone overpay for Simmons? Sure. But Morey is playing with fire. You can’t start the season with Simmons on the team. And if you spend the summer making ridiculous offers that means you have less time for serious offers later. Teams will smell desperation and try to take advantage. Assuming Morey is too proud to admit he’s down bad…he’s gonna end up keeping Simmons out of spite and it will ruin the team.

Idk what this trade is is all about but it seems like everyone came to the same conclusion about Lowry, and if NO wasn’t desperate to do anything to save everyone’s job in that front office and get Lowry for Zion, I believe everyone would still be at the same conclusion

Three different teams, two were Miami and LA, one was 1 seeded Philly NEEDED Lowry and were actively shopping until the last minute. None bit? I don’t think the Raps are being too too bright themselves but we’ll see

Good points...but they all had the same feeling AT THAT TIME

Ask the Lakers and 76ers now, or the Heat, they may feel different now

So they really have no intention of trading Ben if that’s the case bc the obvious deal is Siakam and lowery via sign and trade

They wanna trade him, but Morey ain't the one who should be leading the negotiation. His ego won't let him do a trade where he doesn't get declared an outright genius by the media for flipping an "asset". He got that Ainge in him.

No front office in the NBA has a Kevin McHale. They're all smarter than that now and their fans are smarter too. A team would get ROASTED for giving up a ton for a broken player who wants to leave. He would've had a chance to fleece Sac, but the owner got rid of Vlade. He definitely ain't getting one over on Masai.
