KOC: "I've been told Morey would offer Ben Simmons plus more"

I’d do this deal only to ship Simmons to New York and have the Knicks send 5 1st Rounders my way. Basically you just turned Harden into 9 1st rounders.

 

We've heard this before. I'll believe it when I see it Morey. Also, what is even the point of Elton Brand as GM of the 76er's? Weird that he is GM still but Morey as president is the one pulling the strings? Are some organizations run that way? I don't think of Tad Brown as a decision maker as 76ers have made Morey out to be.

 

For y’all asking for Simmons...


Is he even playable in clutch time?
y’all want him taking the last shot?

Simmons is good if you got a true #1 option

if not, he’s just another stat padder

 

Morey is already starting the narrative battle. Leaking stories about wanting to give simmons, embid a real shot before trading either of them and leaking a story about a possible jrich, thybulle + picks for lavine + picks story

 

No Simmons no deal Morey! That's probably why we have been talking to other teams. He wants to fleece us

 

Very obvious and Stone should immediately hang up on any call he gets from Morey that doesn't start with Simmons. I'd be interested in a package from the Nets to get close to all their future draft assets they can trade and bank on age + injuries + Kyrie's attitude sending that south in a couple of years and those picks/swaps having serious value.

But as long as Embiid can stay healthy, if the Sixers have him and Simmons they are going to be at least pretty good for several years. Getting all of the Sixers picks and Thybulle isn't enough right now. If we're further in the season and there aren't any good offers then maybe you start to think about it.

 

It is time to boo Tillman.

Also, I know this is CF but you guys need to not live or die with every rumor about what someone plugged in "hears". I think we all know TF is probably enraged with Morey right now, but it doesn't mean he won't trade with the Sixers. "I'm not going to trade with Morey because I'm mad at him" can also be a way to generate leverage with the Sixers too.

 

I think Stone is doing the right thing Eff Morey we are not about to fold. Let's make this really uncomfortable for everybody, players and executives. Show us the picks!

 

yes.

yes

He's 24 and is going to be a top 10 player within the next two years. I'm absolutely positive.

The team is Philly is built like ****. His value is you slot him at the 4/5 and instead the sixers turned him into a point guard because it's cute to have a tall point guard.

6-10, 7 foot wingspan. He's taller than Clint Capela.

He can shoot. He chooses not to for some reason. Reminds me of how Steve Nash was at times. He's a better playmaker than Russell Westbrook already and he's a great finisher.

Silas is the ULTIMATE player developer... We would have the second best young star in the division as is and it would line up perfectly. If Simmons actually decides to shoot (one of the easiest skills to teach is the willingness to take a shot) he could be better than Luka in the long run.

1.Luka
2. Simmons
3. Zion
4. Ja Morant

The Spurs would need to find some young stud and we will have an absolute blast watching these guys go at it.



After years of watching Harden dominate being one of the greatest players in the NBA i've ever watched, I'd love to watch the next era with the closest thing to LeBron James. Give Stone the chance to build the right team around him and give Silas the chance to properly develop him.

My biggest concern is Klutch. They could try to force his way out immediately. The opposite could happen. We could develop a close relationship with them and be the place their clients want to be for the next decade.

Hm, I don't know a ton about Simmons in the clutch but let's reverse that question. I would gladly take Simmons on the defensive side of the ball if we are up in the last seconds of a game. I also want him to be the one making decisions on the offensive side of the ball, a la Lebron, near the end of the game as long as he is surrounded by clutch shooters.

He is a Lebron James light. He doesn't have the greatest shot but he has elite atheisms. In a pressure situation he would absolutely get fouled going to the rim. He would definitely be a problem for teams.

 

Now that Moreys gone, I don't trust him one bit. We know how Morey does teams. Uses them up and stops calling.

 

Pretty sure i read a tweet here yesterday (from Goldsberry i think) about how Simmons has been the player with more assists or shot created for teammates in the last year/s, and that happened in a team that like @treyk3 rightfully said, was built like ass, Sixers played actually better last season when Embiid was out and SImmons was leading them with a shooting center like Horford on the court, i think if you surround him with shooters the fact that he can't/won't shoot yet, won't bite you in the ass, especially if there's a solid designed offense behind him.

 

Reddit says he is trading for Zach Levine or something. Morey is probably going to get Levine around Simmons, Emibiid. Not a bad young group.

 

This is the same Morey we've always seen. He tries harder than everyone else, he won't settle for terms he thinks are just ok, and he'll drag things out for weeks and leak everything to the press for an advantage.

He would leak nude photos of his mother if he thought he could leverage it for a 2027 second round pick swap.

 

simmons thybulle and some picks. it's a good deal.

 

Also i say Morey is moving on from Harden, In Philly he got 2 young stars to win a championship with. He already knows Harden has limits, and you can probably win a chip with Embiid, and Simmons in the future. Harden not going to philly.
