    Oh I’ve been out of the loop I guess lol..Stone looks like a fill in that will be learning on the fly. I know he’s been here since 2005 but he’s not knowledgeable of nba transactions on how to build a team.

    Philly won't agree to this in my opinion. The Simmons/ Smart idea is good for Houston. I don't even mind if Philly agrees to Theis as a backup 5. We can add either Noel as a backup to Simmons, if the MLE can be used along with an S/T ( not sure about it) and re-sign Jeff Green with the vet minimum.

    Like that trade but I think Magic would value Bamba more than House.

    Would love to see Rox resign BMc, Green, and if possible get Cory Joseph to backup Russ.

    Well Buddy would be a great 2nd option to Harden. Similar players that do a lot of damage from three. Straight scorer. I think he fits better then Westbrook. I'd take a chance on Bjelica just because we need as many shooters as we can have. And it wouldn't hurt playing a bigger body for once. Hopefully he could play his way into playoff minutes.

    Love it! I can here Travis Scott playing in the Toyota center now! Mo Bamba

    The evolution of basketball is Mo Bamba... Cristian Woods and to a greater extent Anthony Davis types. Athletic bigs , 6”10 at least, that can handle the ball and have some guard skills. Not this small ball mess.

    I think he should be a priority. I like Ross also.

    Morey would piss his pants if offered this trade.

    Philly get better on offense SIGNIFICANTLY and immediately. Kemba and Hayward will give Embiid all the room he want instead of crowding him.

    Simmons is younger All Star and future franchise player but to surround Embiid with 2 legit All Stars at or just past zenith of their prime and also maximizing Embiid would be a miracle.

    Theis as back up 5 allows Rockets to play 5 out when Simmons rests.

    This trade is a HUGE win-win for every team.

    Boston would be downright lethal.

    your best work to date.

    Move Tucker now further pick do not pay this player. Keeping Eric Gordon as backcourt back-up logging starter’s minutes. Ross is our 6th man. Then use minimum contracts to sign several active talents to develop on team friendly nothing contracts —> (before mentioned) 6'8 Josh Jackson, 6'8 Jeff Green, 6'9 Bruno Caboclo, 6'7 Ryan Broekhoff, 6'9 Jonah Bolden, 6'6 Justin Anderson, 6'6 Theo Pinson, 6'4 Tyler Johnson. We have no rookies players to work with. Expanding the talent will keep everyone fresh yet primed for play-offs. This team is truly built to show case Harden and skills. & WIN Championships. Good work, sir, job well done.

    Imagine Bruno with 7'7 wingspan, Bamba with 7'10 wingspan and RoCo with 7'3 wingspan at the nail forming wall in paint while Smart and AG are harassing ball handlers around the arc.

    In addition to Bruno, would like to bring in 6'9 Jonah Bolden too (7'4 wingspan with ball handling, 3ball, disruptive instincts and switchable 1-5 like RoCo).

    I don't mind having Nemenja either, but I'm looking for additional defense/rebounding and ball handling.

    Eric Gordon skill set would work well on this team. His value is way higher for us then most other teams. Ross would also find success with a spark plug role, playing off of Harden would help him tremendously. Aaron Gordon would also benefit from Harden.

    This is the money trade. Every team gets great value.

    ORL: Victor Oladipo, Kemba Walker, Frank Kaminsky (opt in), Austin Rivers (opt in)
    BOS: Russ Westbrook, Myles Turner, Eric Gordon, Jeremy Lamb, Khem Birch
    IND: Gordon Hayward (opt in), Al-Farouq Aminu, Robert Williams, Danuel House
    PHX: Markelle Fultz, Enes Kanter (opt in), Romeo Langford
    HOU: Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart, Kelly Oubre, Mo Bamba, Terrance Ross

    Magic - Kemba, Oladipo, Fournier, Isaac/Okeke, Vucevic = spacing & scoring GALORE + Austin replaces DJ; Kaminsky backs up Vuc

    Celts - Russ, Jaylen, Tatum, Theis, Turner = faster, longer, more explosive + increased scoring off bench

    Pacers - Brogdon, Hayward, TJ, Aminu, Sabonis = more offense, more length, more balanced

    Suns - Markelle, Booker, Mikal, Cam, Ayton = improves 1st unit scoring, Bridges playing more natural position + Kanter replaces Baynes, Rubio is 6th

    6'3 Smart (26)/6'3 McLemore
    6'5 Harden/6'5 Nwaba
    6'7 Oubre (24)/6'6 Ross
    6'8 AG (25)/6'5 Tucker
    7'0 Bamba (22)/6'10 Harry Giles (22) - MLE

    Vet min: 6'9 Bruno Caboclo (25), 6'7 sniper Ryan Broekoff, 6'4 Tyler Johnson, 6'6 Justin Anderson (26), 6'9 Jonah Bolden (24)
