Popular Post DS5 Posted January 11, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I only want Simmons if it means we get a shot at KAT in the off-season. They are supposed to be friends right? Maybe that helps? A big three of Trae-Simmons-KAT with 3&d guys would be championship caliber. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall's deal is way more of an albatross but they think it will be easier to flip Wall than Tobi in the future? Isn't that proving to be untrue based on the Rockets proposed willingness to swap them in the first place? Who are the teams that are lining up to take on Wall and his $47M in 2023 that don't want to take Tobi on $37M? Tobi's deal is an extra year but he's also a much better player -- I just don't see it. How does this make any sense? I'm with @bleachkit, just doesn't pass the sniff test for me. And just to be clear, $40M is not accurate for Wall. His last year salary is $47M which is closer to $50M than $40M. Simmons obviously needs to be moved but that is mutually exclusive of Harris, no reason to mingle the two. Lets run this trade by the Sixers message board and see what they think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thecampster Posted January 11, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Gah!!!! now you guys have done riled up my old man genes. Look, I only put about 10% of what I hear on here and only after doing some due diligence. I don't "know"! Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and the truth is not in him. But I've already filtered out the majority of foolishness and mostly just fill in the dots after that. Yes there are picks involved, no I don't have the exact details. I've heard names and frameworks but I'm not flipping Woj being spoonfed all the details 10 minutes before it goes down. I don't think any of us all. We pretty much deal in frameworks because if anyone claims they know more than that, they're padding the resume.

This is the counter. To take back Gallo, they want to dump Harris. Also, Houston has the interest in Gallo and would be happy to be done with John Wall. I am not saying this is the deal though Cooper's name is one I've heard. Let me share this: Feel free to discuss and there would undoubtedly be picks involved. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y6bcaym8 That's it? We get to keep 3 of our wings, add Simmons, and only lose Bogi, Gallo, and Coop? If I'm Schlenk, I do that IMMEDIATELY! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving my opinion that I cannot see the Sixers doing this particular trade. And I saw the Windy article as well but it does not mention Wall... and I'm not saying they should sit on Harris... but I would be shocked if they took on Wall and his contract. That's the piece that doesn't make sense to me. I only called out it's $47M because 1. that's a staggering amount of money and 2. he's worth less than half that, which to me makes it even less likely the Sixers would be willing to take that on. The list of teams they could deal that contract to is very small, and those teams might have no interest in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how much playoff failure is needed…if they can get away from Simmons and Harris and do a quick rebuild around the superstar Embiid it just doesn’t shock me. Harris is not that guy in the playoffs. He couldn’t even stand out against a young hawks team and EVERYONE knows he is overpaid. If you have to roll with Wall and Bogi for just a year or two …I don’t think that’s a bad thing. playoff wise around embiid I’d rather have Bogi than Simmons and Harris. I just think it’s about fit and to me Bogi would be very dangerous with Embiid. Wall on the other hand would just be a filler for Simmons in the playoffs around Embiid…it may work out better since he isn’t afraid to shoot.

But result wise I actually believe it does. philly is not good in the playoffs with Ben, Harris, Embiid as their big 3. It’s been proven ….that trio strikes fear in no team. Harris is a good player but he just isn’t impactful enough. We already know Simmons playoff issues. Simmons unlike Harris in my opinion just need the right team to thrive with his style of play and he can’t play the way he would with Embiid. Too many adjustments to make it work.
