So I’m hearing about a 3-way trade that involves Simmons?

- Grizzlies get Simmons
- Thunder get Tyrese Maxey, Steven Adams, Zaire Williams, a 2022 first-round pick, a 2024 first-round pick and a 2026 first-round pick
- 76ers get SGA and picks

Does that even work?

Thunder are not using away a superstar guy who they have years of contract control over for a bunch of spare parts and picks.

76ers aren't getting the best player AND picks.

This is a 76er pipe dream.

Sam Jones, Ten Time NBA champion, Dies at 88
https://dnyuz.com/2021/12/31/sam-jones-sharpshooting-celtics-star-of-the-1960s-dies-at-88/

One of the four players to play in 10+ NBA finals. Along with Bill Russell, KAJ and LBJ.

One of the two players to win 10+ NBA titles. Bill Russell is the other.

Was that from the short three point line of the mid 1990s?

He never averaged 3/5 from 3P range but one of his 2/5 seasons took place in 1990 and the other in 1995 (when the line was shorter).

Let the Sixers live. Maybe they could package those picks with Tobias to get some legit allstar.

The reason you get so many first round picks is to hopefully get a young player as good as SGA, lmao. That would be like winning powerball and spending it all on more lottery tickets

I guess Zion is injured so there needs to be some "Why didn't the small market team trade their star for mid round picks and rotation guys so they don't lose the star for nothing in 6 years" going around.

It’s dumb but it wasn’t inexplicable. Harden wanted a team where he was The Guy and Durant left in free agency, it wasn’t shipping their best player to a better team and getting a bunch of flotsam in return, which is what that trade would be.

Also Memphis giving up Steven Adams (plus picks) for Ben Simmons seems like a bad idea given how well he’s played for them this year.

People haven't stopped doing Zion trades. In fact, they have picked up lately precisely because he is injured. Better to get something for him now while he can still play!

It’s very humorous seeing Sixers fans insist that Simmons value hasn’t changed at all by him not playing just that the number of teams willing to make a deal at the end of the season increases without making the connection that player value is a meaningless thing that depends highly on timing and context and external factors

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

John Ireland, Lakers radio announcer, entered COVID protocols today. This is significant to me because this motherfucker spent 3/4 of the game coughing on Tuesday night, he definitely had COVID at that time but for whatever reason he wasn't popping as positive; I didn't listen to the Wednesday game, I was in the woods, but I bet he coughed all through that game, too. No one ever was like "hey maybe we should tell this guy who is constantly coughing to stay the gently caress home while we're 10 deep into players on protocols?"

he’s a fine starter, probably about as good as reggie jackson or spencer dinwiddie

not someone you need to replace on a championship roster but not someone who’s going to drag you to 50 wins either
