[Russillo] 76ers waiting on Rockets for Simmons / Harden deal; also PJ Tucker wants out

Russillo doesn't know jack chit. Not a fcking thing.

 

how would that work Simmons and wall that just seems like it wouldn’t work

 

If Stone thinks he is getting a better deal then this he is sadly mistaken

 

So trading Harden for luxury tax savings.

 

Rusillo is just blowing smoke up everyone's azz, he knows jack shyte.

 

lol pj is only starting on a team in the league because he is cool with harden.

 

I don’t think Tilman signs off on Philli
My guess is we okay it out until the trade deadline at the very least

 

Read the wording of the quotes. This is total speculation.

 

Jinx!

 

Simmons will be a Sf/PF here and Wall is on game management . Will be nursed throughout the year.
Wall is also a good catch and shoot player.

 

@D-rock

Make the Ben for Harden trade
Ship EG and a pick to Orlando for AG
Send PJ to wherever you can get the best pick.

Ben
AG
Wood

Plus a gang of picks

That’s a great start to the rebuild or retool. Super young.

 

Agreed. But hypothetically we’ve all been waiting for the Philly and Simmons shoe to drop, right? if it’s on the table now, u should take it. Now. Not next year and not when Morey knows that the teams James will re-sign with are dwindled down to **** and can scare off interested suitors.

not only that but Simmons is most likely the best young foundational player you’ll get in a return

 

I could be wrong but Tilman aint trading with Philly as long as Daryl is there.

 

I love Harden but if we gotta deal, this gets it done for me.

Celtics Get:

James Harden
PJ Tucker


Rockets Get:

Jaylon Brown
Marcus Smart
Aaron Nesmith

Probably needs a Harden opt-in to do that. There's definitely a point of diminishing returns for Harden's value - it's probably somewhere between right before the trade deadline and the off-season...probably right before the trade deadline. A lot will depend on how good teams with their young stars will be. What's Harden's market again (besides picks)? Simmons, Brown, Siakam, Wiseman/Wiggins etc...one of those teams will suck more than expected and Harden's value will gain. Now if the Rockets suck this season and every team with a young star is playing well, Harden's value will suffer. It's an interesting dilemma.

 

Russillo always writes dumb ****. Notice he is stating it as an opinion not necessarily fact.

 

Wait, I thought we were talking about Richard. If it's Bill, I want way more picks.

 

I just dont think its plausible, too soon.

Morey & Doc have already said they want to see Ben & Joel tandem.

Cannot see it happening unless Simmons or Embiid push for it.

Philly is a tough place to live if you're not shooting straight with fans or media.

 

Prob worst shooting back court in NBA history.

 

i dunno brehs... i still think we should trade beard for dimwiddie and 2nd round picks. we're trying to tank and save tillmen moneys here. playoff aspirations will have the opposite effect.
