    Maybe he’s right but I just have a hard time believing Nick Wright is plugged into anything player/agent related.

      I don’t believe Kyrie’s team would need to tell the Nets he’d retire because I don’t believe there are trades that make sense for them or that they’re trying for that.

        In a hypothetical world I'm sure Philly would move Ben for him. I don't see it happening either but that would be the first team I think of.

          But you’d also have to ask why Brooklyn would trade him for Ben, especially if he’s not making them better.

            Honestly how many times have players denied things, said it's media nonsense, and then the guy eventually gets traded/leaves. That happened when Westbrook left Houston, among many other cases. Happens enough that I don't believe anyone.

              I can’t even remember what was said back then but every article I find when I type in Russ Houston is Russ wanting out. What contradicted that? Or are you talking about when SAS said the reason was he didn’t want to play with Harden and him denying that but not the trade request?

                  Here’s exactly how it happened:

                  Kyrie makes random tweet

                  Nick Wright: There are some Kyrie trades that makes sense for the Nets. Mind you, he didn’t report anything. But he would retire from the NBA if they were to trade him.

                  NBA Media: Are the Nets looking into trading Kyrie for Ben?

                  We literally saw a trade rumor get made up out of thin air and imagination and actually given attention on National TV. They gave up a handful to form their own Big 3 but would break it up in less than a year because….???

                    Even Reddit didn’t post the Nick Wright tweet until after Kyrie sonned him. Maj might’ve been the only one to take the bait. Bro has been had, took, hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, and run amok.

                        Geez, how would Simmons go over with Pop in San Antonio? It might Jerry Sloan him. Except he has the clout to not.

                          Man, you nearly gave me a heart attack.

                          The last thing the Spurs need is a primadonna that can't score.

                          Or doesn't have 1st option upside and thinks he's better than he really is.

                          I don't think DeJounte or Keldon would be a good fit with Matisse and Shake already on their roster, anyway. They need a legitimate #2 that can play off of Embiid and score in the "clutch" (think Kobe w/ Shaq or Khris w/ Giannis).

                              I agree. Sixers do need a "legitimate" #2 behind Joel. That's not Tobias Harris. At best, he's a #3 on a winning team or your 2nd option when the backups come in. Only concern with Tobias as a #3 is that he does well when the offense runs through him early and often.

                              The team needs shot creation and playmaking with or without Ben. I'm guessing they are hoping Maxey can take that next step. I don't see Ben's value improving no matter how long they go into the season with him. He doesn't seem like the type who is going step it up to improve his value. The quest for a Superstar caliber player is over. Now it is a complementary package. Only way I see them taking a pick heavy package is if they are hoping that Dame or Beal becomes available around the deadline.

                                IMO Morey's ego is getting in the way. He isn't going to rob any team blind in a Simmons trade, he may even "lose" the trade in many people's eyes, but given the reality of situation he needs to try to get pieces that are going to fit really well and craft a team that may only be considered the third best in the conference but has the potential to overachieved enough to challenge for the Title. There is not a move that will put them close to the Nets so they better at least try to get close to the Bucks.
