I dont like him either, but I cant root for the Mavs.. The Mavs could break up the Suns though, which some fans would like, because they want Ayton.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Take: Philly and Brooklyn both lost their trade Who can get out of their contract faster? That's the winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Philly since Harden is an UFA after next season (or this offseason if he doesn't exercise his player option which I think he would be a moron not to exercise unless Philly is offering him a nice long-term deal). Simmons is on the books for 3 more years after this one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have been traded recently and Simmons is a huge question mark for whether he will even play next season. For Harden, you need to buy into a revival but he was still a 21, 10 and 7 guy with a >.600TS%. He is clearly overpaid but that seems to apply to both of them. Ben's biggest advantage in terms of trade is his age but the questions about what we've seen from him over the last year definitely put risk into his long-term projection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see anywhere that he fits. And his D seems to have reverted to early Harden zero effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kg01 Posted May 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Ya know, the best thing about a leader is they step up, take the blame, and don't low-key finger-point when things don't go well. I mean, sure, JoeLLLLLLLL pointed the finger(s) at Simmons last year but there's no way .... no way he'd do that again to a teammate after yet another frustrating and stunning loss. I can't imagine a world where he hasn't learned his lesson on th.... Meanwhile, JoeLLLLLLLL be like .... 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea not sure how Simmons is more tradeable when he has chosen not to play for the entirety of a season for two different teams, while simultaneously going through a legal process to get paid for sitting out. Any team trading for him at this stage is completely idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Narrative. They chose Ben & Tobias over Jimmy. This new narrative implicates the front office as mismanaging everything. It suggests that had they kept Jimmy, they would have won a chip by now. The hard part of this is Ben is a headcase and Tobias sucks. While Jimmy is still getting Buckets.

I'm not a Doc apologist by any means... but the problem is more far reaching than Doc. The real problem started Here: The process made them choose Ben Simmons over everything. I'm sure that the mental character of Simmons showed itself even before he flaked out. The problem continued with: Morey gave up a King's ransom for James Harden. IF Doc is smart, he should resign today. Otherwise, the collapse of Philly will be pinned to him. Seth Curry would have given more than Harden did in these playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
