Premium Member sturt Posted July 1, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Ben Simmons is Medusa. It cannot be said enough. Nice to look at from afar, but them are snakes, and those eyes will turn you to a rock. I cannot imagine a worse trade idea than one that would bring Ben to the Hawks, and it could be as little as Sherife Cooper sent to BRK. It's insanity. The best way I can make sense of it is the owner, too, loves the limelight and shiny new toys, and it doesn't really matter. He just wants what he wants. He's been the owner just long enough now, and having sat in on FO meetings, to believe he has a credible voice. I don't know that. I just suspect it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a PF/C for us. So will OO. I don't see the difference between this and what he was going to do in BK this year. If anything he will get more scoring opportunities with the Hawks if he wants them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS isn't just gonna trade him for nothing, so either keep JC, or we upgrade. Those are our current timelines from what I can tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe Schlenk and Trae would try to sell it to Simmons on the “positionless basketball era” ….in other words tell him that center position in the nba doesn’t exist anymore or the difference between guard positions. I can see Schlenk saying that the depth chart in Atlanta would read as…. Guard, Guard, Forward, Forward, Forward Trae, Murray, Hunter, ????, Simmons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love the Washington version of KK for significantly less than JC, and a shot at replenishing draft assets. Kyle Kuzma sucks booty cheeks bro. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 It’s very clear that TS sees Simmons as his Draymond green type player but a better version. The fact that Trae loves the move too makes me think Simmons is being targeted just as much as KD if not more. im expecting a hard push for Simmons now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Supes is upset that SpursTalk dragged him but Carmichael isn't much better (low grade non-source). Maybe the WIZ-ARDS want us to take their trash out?

Honestly I think OO will develop a jumper as time goes on but the plan that I thought was the plan was to get Ayton to keep the floor somewhat spreaded. I honestly don’t believe OO and Simmons will start but I wouldn’t rule it out either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
