Trade deadline discussion

I think it also gives the Clips some flexibility around moving Morris.

This was my first thought. But with Powell they now probably wouldn’t have any need for Clarkson.

Powell is kinda the Bogey of two guards... Reports will surface about how the Blazers love Johnson and how they thought he was top 10 in last year's draft.... just wait.

Yup, same thoughts here. I didn't have the same concerns about size that most do about moving Bogey, but that would have been addressed with Covington coming in as well.

I'm really hoping there's some kind of crazy fear about carrying long term contracts and BOS just gives us smart for their pick of JC or Ingles. POR may love Keon, but they did not do this trade for Keon. No doubt about that.

Yeah, but the point is you put Donovan on the Knicks with 0 help and you watch that team give you top 5 draft picks.

Donovan will definitely carry that team in the Easy to something that won't be top 5 draft picks. Definitely if they don't get them themselves, so they have no reason to tank. Lottery, maybe, but low lottery.

Your entire thesis is built on issues between DM and Rudy. What does that mean for every post you've made on this subject?

I know they have issues, but they both try to make it work.

When news broke earlier that it had reached a breaking point, the Don's had enough side bantered with the Rudy's had enough side. There were no winners, we were awarded no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

Donovan without Gobert would be a lot worse than he currently is.
 
I have Simmons riding the IJ on my fantasy team, so wouldn't mind this trade at all.

It's a better pairing than Simmons+Embiid or simply just Embiid. Embiid isn't an old player, but you can't waste his years when he's healthy.

I think they sending Maxey or Thybulle and a pick or two if it happens. It's better than Embiid and nothing obvi... Harden just feels a little Westbrooky at times since for him to be maximized he needs the ball a ton and doesn't do anything well off ball. I also wonder how it works with Embiid in the post... maybe he goes to more rolling.

I'm not sold its a pairing that will work like some think it will.

Nets blowing up is fun though... not like we making the finals so root for chaos!!!

Part of me feels like this is as much an opportunity to trade Simmons as anything. They need to make a deal and they need to get something with big enough hype that they can save face and this looks perfect for that.

What's the alternative? It sounds like they are asking for twice what anyone's maximum offer is and they cannot just keep holding out. Are we to believe that the dude who has not improved at all since entering the league (and by some metrics has regressed) is working hard on his game? lol, right. If I'm a team interested in Simmons, I am less and less interested as time goes on.

If I'm Philly I'd rather send a theoretical basketball player than multiple picks and actual basketball players.
