yeah for sure. the part i struggle with is imagining daryl morey floating a simmons for dlo+ deal that rosas would even have the opportunity to turn down.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 24 September 2021 15:34 (two years ago) link
yeah doesn't feel right. though i do kinda wonder - like who are they gonna get at this point?
doesn't really feel like a big fish like Dame is gonna happen

getting dame in exchange for simmons would be straight up highway robbery, so the only way it ever would have happened would be if dame had issued an ultimatum to trade him. no such ultimatum went down.

ESPN Sources: Manu Ginobili is returning to the San Antonio Spurs as a special advisor to basketball operations. Ginobili will take on a player-centric role that’s focused on the development of players on and off the court.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 24, 2021

Cool about Manuxps DLo seems like his reputation in the league has a high variance, I wonder if Morey would trade for him then flip him. Dunno where though
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 24 September 2021 16:30 (two years ago) link
daryl morey would quit the sixers before he ever traded ben simmons for d’angelo russell

theyre trying to compete they need to have players who are actually playing

i also don’t understand how his trade value increases at all from this point. i bet this has a similar feel to james harden last year where after like 5 games there’s a real motivation to get something done

this is fun little thing i stumbled upon amidst more pels/zion drama. it's a book proposal from a former shoe company rep who had some dealings with zion and his family, lots of other players, and eventually got sent to prison. it's like 50 pages but the first 20 or so are very entertaining and have all the zion stuff. sounds like the actual book will be coming out at some point:

i mean, might as well save them the trip. it’s not the players he has a problem with.

If they flew coach instead of taking the jet maybe he'd listen

If we’re referring to their comments immediately following the gm7 loss, they were off the cuff following an emotional loss and extremely mild, so I’m not going to fault them. Also, Ben is pretty clearly not a top 10 player by any metric other than who has the thinnest skin.

“I’ll be honest. I thought the turning point was when we — I don’t know how to say it — is when we had an open shot and we made one free throw…,” Embiid said.
