Simmons is the best cornerstone player we could get back...no one has mentioned anyone better. Klay is done as a player maybe a Ray Allen type player toward his twilight years is what he will resemble.
Should kick the tires on a Utah trade for Donovan Mitchell.. On the surface, it seems ridiculous for both sides...But .... Spoiler 1) Harden would be an upgrade over D Mitchell 2) D Mitchell would be the young stud we wanted back for a Harden trade.. 3) Utah would be in win now mode for 2 yrs... Let's be realistic, Utah ain't a serious contender with Mitchell nor will ever be ...Harden makes them a contender instantly... Which makes me puke but Harden's antics nowadays does the same... 4) Harden would hate it in Utah which is fine by me.. **** him! 5) Honestly we would be 1 or 2 years away from being serious contenders... Which is basically a rebuild on the fly as opposed to a complete multiple lottery bound rebuild... 6) It'll make us hate Harden even more which is what his punk ass deserves as of now... If we trading him.....
I’d take either one of Murray/Jaylen Brown/Siakam over him. But if Simmons is the best deal available I’d settle for hin.
I saying kick the tires... Im sure they wouldn't suggest it... But if he wants to ring chase without gutting a team, that would be a logical scenario IMO...
i doubt N.O. would trade him. not only is he young and made his first all star team, the pelicans would not be contenders, so no way james signs an extension there. he's gone in two years and you gave up a young star for nothing. as far as who is better, thats tough.. ingrams offensive game is really starting to blossom and he fills it up in a variety of ways. simmons is an elite defender and playmaker who is a beast in the open court. simmons is probably the better player overall right now because of this speed and strength.
The Jazz wouldn't be contenders if they traded Mitchell for Harden. Look at the rest of their team....
