    Tell Morey he isn't getting Harden PERIOD! No way! We'll flip wall and boogie for Simmons though!

    Good. I can't wait to defend him like I defended James Harden for the last eight years.

    Not a single 76er fan that I respect was willing to give Simmons in any deal. They feel the same way about Ben that we feel about James.

    Just Wall. No Boogie. Fits the team better, if that's going to be the case.

    Miami or Denver instead please. Though he may be elite at some other things, I think it would be a monumental error to trade Harden in a package centered around a player who can’t shoot. Idc if he passes like Magic

    No but if Stone made a phone call I’m sure they wouldn’t hang up

    I just don't see Stone and Fertitta going for Simmons. Fertitta because of Morey. And Stone, because he's a Morey disciple. He understands the importance of flexibility when rebuilding, and the limitations of a non-shooting star.

    I think they're poetically using Morey for leverage.

    Stone can't even get a phone call with his own player.

    What are the packages

    ATM I'd do a straight Ben for James swap. I'm done with the Harden era.

    2019-2020 All-NBA Teams:
    FIRST TEAM
    Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, James Harden, Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic
    SECOND TEAM
    Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Jokic, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Pascal Siakam
    THIRD TEAM
    Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons, Russell Westbrook

    2019-20 NBA All-Defensive First Team
    Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons, Marcus Smart

    I think his lack of an outside shot leads many to really underestimate Simmons. And considering that none of the other 14 non-Rockets listed above is available, it looks like he might be our best shot*.

    * No pun intended.
