2021-22 NBA Trade Deadline

Re: 2021-22 NBA Trade Deadline

I love the move. Spencer looks like a shell of who he was, plus Bertans is a horrible contract.

I did not think we could have landed a player the quality of Porzingas in exchange for those two.

He’s just a tall, fragile body at this point.

I’m more happy they moved Bertans.

I love the Suns and Warriors just chilling, eying each other, knowing their showdown is coming.

I'm on cloud 9. Derrick White who is extremely good, Theis back and the bozo is gone. the vibes are high.

Oh no doubt. But the market for Spencer and Davis was very slim.

Even if he misses more than half of the games between now and when his contract expires, that still exceeds the production these two give the Wizards when healthy.

March 10 is the next Sixers-Nets game for those interested.

Also, Shams reporting Jerami Grant will remain in Detroit. And Woj saying the Lakers will focus on the buyout market.

Most teams in the NBA: Lets go hit up the mall and designer stores

Lakers: Hey who wants to go yard saleing?!

According to Windhorst the Knicks and Lakers were "close" to a deal yesterday but it fell apart.

I don’t think Grant is even remotely close to being worth what they were likely asking. Not that surprised. I thought Chicago was the ideal spot, but if they were demanding Williams then I wouldn’t have done that trade either.

Yeah Grant was definitely a case of Detroit likely killing the market for him themselves. I'll bet it comes out at some point that what ended up happening was that they were holding out on other potential deals for him waiting to see if AK would give them Williams. By the time they realized AK wasn't budging the market for him probably dried up.

The Pistons coveted Patrick Williams in the draft, but we got him 2 or 3 picks ahead of him, so any move for us to get Grant out of Detroit was going to have to include Williams and I certainly felt this whole time that Grant isn't the move to waste Williams if we were to ever move him

Birthday song remix. Instead of "how old are you now" its "what team you play for now"

Re: 2021-22 NBA Trade Deadline

Yeah, I fully expect Simmons not to play that at WFC unless it is in the playoffs this year.

Yeah fit is a question for both teams. But, I will try to see the positives in both instead of focusing on winner or loser of deal. Ben can play his ideal style of play while also allowing KD not to have to defend the best guy. Hopefully Doc stops with the all Bench lineups. He needs to stagger Maxey and Harden as much as possible, while making sure one of at least Maxey, Harden, Harris, or Embiid is on the court at all times.

Say what you want about Drummond, but for a team that was the worst Rebounding team, losing him makes our Rebounding even worse. I don't want to count on Millsap as the Backup 5 and I doubt Doc is going to trust Bassey.

But before Curry started getting dinged up, he was the most consistent player of the team(before Joel started going off).

Re: 2021-22 NBA Trade Deadline

This has trade deadline made me want to grab NBA League Pass. Then I saw it's only 50$ right now. Sold. Outside of the 76er/Nets trade I cant wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds with as many teams bunched within a few games of each other.

Re: 2021-22 NBA Trade Deadline

I'm not high on Simmons at all. I never thought he was worth the 76ers asking price. But Brooklyn is the ideal place for him. He's got two other stars that can receive the bulk of the attention. If the Nets fail to advance to the playoffs no one is going to blame it on Simmon's scoring. The pressure will be off him and he'll be able to play his game without feeling pressured to do more. Also love that the Nets got Drummond as well. They had the weakest frontcourt in the NBA and just getting a big body will help them.

Philly may have got better as well but they did so at the expense of strengthening another Eastern Conference rival and I have more questions on their fit than I do with the Nets.

Of course a lot hinges on Kyrie's status in home playoff games.

I disagree. Simmons is going to be on the floor during big moments in these games in the playoffs. We all seem to have this idea that he's just gonna be there and doesn't have to do nothing. He's going to have to play and at some point, he's going to need to make shots. Even Jordan had to pass to Kerr/Paxson in key moments. LeBron had to pass to Bosh or Chalmers at points. Simmons is going to have to step up at times in the playoffs when his number is called and if he misses or is scared of the shot like he was last year, the New York media and the rest of the sports universe is going to eviscerate him for tucking tail and forcing his way out of Philly to Brooklyn just to still fail
