Shams - Philly offered Simmons/Thybulle + draft compensation. Did we make the right deal?

I told you @ElPigto. We were not looking to trade Ben. Those rumors were false and did not come from us. Ben is an important piece. We love Ben and the roster we have.

 

Bringing Simmons back?

Embiid:

 

Damage control. Stop the bleeding.

 

Like clockwork.

 

I just can't believe someone wasn't willing to trade four FRPs and an all-star level player for Simmons. Just stunning.

 

Just pull the trigger Morey, for your sake and Simmons.

Ben needs Lucas and you need to build a WALL.

 

Morey struggling like he did here in Houston to get people to sign or trade.

 

It's not a Houston conspiracy then. People don't want to deal with Morey.

 

“I know I went on dates with other girls, but I’ve only ever wanted you, baby.”

 

Im only a casual conspiracy theorist, but it really felt that way to me when he was here.

Morey is gone now so I hope it continues in Philly.

 

Morey out here trying to hit people with the razzle dazzle. They’re sick of his BS. This is how he’d be saved in my phone if I were a GM. You know how when people call you that you don’t feel like talking to and you take that deep breath trying to decide if you’re going to answer it?

 

Yah or nah?

 

if i were mauri, I'd trade simmons to the lakers for wesbruke and fillers

 

Rahut has lost his mind.

There is no alternate reality with BOTH Simmons and Oladipo on same Rockets roster.

It's either one or the other.

 

Funny, Morey doesn't have much leverage either.

 

I was never a big Simmons guy, but I am going to take a second look here.

This post is more me talking my way through it, rather than arguing a position.

So lets say there just isn't much of a market for Simmons, and it is irreconcilable with Philly. We know they turned down a Brogdon offer.

Fit aside, would a Gordon / Wood package with maybe a firsts get it done? Not a premiere pick, but maybe one of the earlier Brooklyn picks, like 2024.

I hate Simmons as a PG, but how would he work as a big?

KPJ / Christopher
Green / Brooks
Tate / Nwaba
Simmons / Garuba
Theis / Sengun

 

You are forgetting Wall. I see no point in Simmons as a big when you can groom Garuba to be the same and he wont have mental blocks regarding shooting.
