Well, we don't have poo poo to trade, but maybe we can find a third team who will take our crap and turn it into something worthwhile...

beasley and mcdaniels are both very intriguing Assets, it's just a matter of morey not being interested in them because he's obsessed with adding shooting and stars and while beasley fills one of those he'd rather have beal

I mean, I think it's also that the Sixers/Simmons situation is way different than most star-talent-on-the-move situations. If the choice is keeping a young All Star who's an elite defender or acquiring a solid role player on a decent contract, a mildly intriguing 20 year old and a bunch of picks, the team that finished first in its conference last season doesn't have a particularly compelling reason to sell itself on the theoretical upside of the hodgepodge of Assets

Third tallest is Donald Trump?? That can't be right. They honestly measured this guy in lifts. This guy is not 6'3

I would guess about 5'11 before the shoe lifts. Maybe 6' even

Trump's tall he just has atrocious posture.

That would be a great point if the head coach and star player of the 76ers hadn't shredded Simmons. And then they very publicly talked about how he would be traded. Anyone trading for him knows he needs to add some offensive game to be worth his contract. And they know he's not likely to develop that game in Philly because certain key members decided to scapegoat him.

The argument for Philly having the upper hand in bargaining a trade for him is very peculiar.

76ers should bring Simmons back but rework his contract so he doesn’t get paid for any game he attempts less than 10 field goals

Yes, he’s not likely to develop an offensive game because people were mean to him. That’s the reason.

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

Simmons has an offensive game.

He's a positive offensive player when playing usually

He just had a really bad playoffs, and an extremely bad moment that will probably follow him for the rest of his career.

Not being able/willing to Shoot != Not having an offensive game.

I mean Castro may be the GOAT here, but I think socialist heads of state in general tend to be above-average ballers. Which begs the question, does the Woke gene positive correlate with the Clutch gene?

I'm sure Kendrick Perkins was called "(Category X) Shaq" at some point before joining the NBA, it was all the rage for awhile. French Shaq, Greek Shaq, Baby Shaq, Shaq After Squinting. Glorious time to be a SLAM subscriber, I tell ya.

It is very funny that after chuckling all those years about Greek Shaq showing up in the Olympics the NBA has a legit Greek Shaq.
