It really sucks to watch your team struggle without their first three options.

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.

I think it was more of a gently caress You game than a Trade For Me one. Kings came out and publicly said they were out of the running for Simmons because the asks were continually beyond unrealistic. Kings Insiders say everyone is pissed about what Morey has been putting out there all season and that it's basically killed the season for the players (since they are mentally soft children).

That happened with the Heat last year, but made those players better to bear that load this year.

I’ve stood up for Simmons in the past and have expressed desire to have him on the Kings, but you’d be insane to trade a sophomore guard on a lowercase s star track who can run PnR and cash 3s, even for an all-defensive all-star talent at a position of need with a long contract. Well, specifically Simmons.

Edit: haven’t actually watched a Kings game in a month and a half (after watching almost every one the last few years), and I just saw the box score. Goddamn. Capital S Star, sorry for doubting Hali

I'd trade Haliburton for Simmons for sure if I wanted the most out of the next 2-3 year window. I'd keep Haliburton for sure if I care about past that. I honestly don't know where the Kings think they are.

Kings probably would have traded Haliburton plus Barnes and other salary filler but Morey probably asked for 3 picks so Monte told him to gently caress off

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I do not get passing up Haliburton if he's really on the table, I do not get putting him on the table. He's still at that stage where we don't actually know what his ceiling is, but it looks high. That's a player you're happy to get top 5 in the draft.

Last year even when he was doing well the talk was he'd be a real nice high end role player. Which may still be true but that step back 3 he has is certainly better than everyone thought it would be and he's so good in the PNR now so him being a priority over Fox is becoming a possibility. If not already.

he would if he’s trying to increase simmons’ value by drumming up multiple buyers so the harden price tag is smaller

Also if a Haliburton trade was legitimately on the table last week it seems hard to believe it won’t be there next week.

Well he’s failed at that and annoyed one of the buyers and made them publicly walk away by doing that

I really doubt the ridiculous trade demands that started around draft time were at all rooted in some Harden end game ploy. That’s retcon

It's not really a retcon, he tried to trade Simmons for Harden when he was at the Rockets and missed out, and has been after him ever since.

multiple trades were leaked where he was asking for like 2-3 promising young players and 3+ first rounders lol

Harden wasn’t even floated out until the last three weeks. The most you can say is that he wanted a huge package of assets to then trade for star, but pretending that Harden really was the real thing behind Beal/Dame is some Star Wars level sloppy writing and still sidesteps the fact that he still hasn’t delivered on that either
