fathom Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Nets now have three of the most unlikeable players in the league now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 This is a really good deal for both teams, in my opinion. I like Simmons athleticism paired with Durant and Kyrie (if he is playing). I also think Nets benefit from having a younger, much more explosive player. And Sixers got a lot better too - that combo should be pretty good.

chw42 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Yeah, that Harden deal is really bad for the Bulls. Philly gets better (assuming they weren't gonna have Simmons at all this season) and the Nets get much better defensively to compliment their 2 already great scorers. Also Curry is a great get for them in this deal. Win-win for both teams IMO, but bad for the rest of the East.

Chisoxfn Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Dragic will probably be a buy out target plus maybe Thompson is my guess at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD is a transcendent talent and that can overcome his social media woes and injury concerns, but Kyrie is insane and destroys teams, and Simmons mentally and physically can't shoot and folds under any scrutiny.

Expand Honestly this feels like the Sox banking on Robert and Eloy coming back as their big trade deadline acquisitions. Of course, the Sox went out and actually got a big name like Kimbrel and it didn't work out. Sometimes no deal is better than a bad deal, but in this case, the Bulls really just need a Ryan Tepera-esque trade and I don't think we'll even get that.

scs787 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Dragic sounds like a lock for the Mavs. He woulda been nice to have while the bulls are getting healthy, but if they're not trading Coby, he's not really a need come playoff time.

Dick Allen Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I know Harden is great....but there is something about him to me that makes me think he is a tad overrated. Of course Simmons wasn't playing, but i'm not sure they are a ton better than they were. I really like the trade for Brooklyn. Harden was going to leave and/or start causing problems. Simmons is a nice match since he doesn't have to score, and Curry has been really good. Plus some first rounders. I get if you ae a Sixers fan being excited about it, but they only play with one ball. Edited February 10, 2022 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
