With Zaire playing well, there was nowhere to hide Kemba.
His knee is balky and his minutes have to be limited.
Thibs wanted to try RJB at PG.

Ben Simmons + Tobias + Danny Green ($79M)
for
Julius Randle + FourEva + Rose + Noel + Kemba ($70M)

Akin to trading Randle + Rose + Noel = Simmons + Green.
And then helping them save good money by swapping Tobias' ridiculous contract for Fournier (with Kemba as ballast)

Knix:
Simmons - Granny Deen - RJB - Tobias - Mitch
2 non-shooters, but real strong on D.
IQ - Grimes - Burks - ObiT - Taj
Burks could start if you want/need a secondary ballhandler/shot creator.

PHI:
Maxey - 4Eva - Thybulle - Randle - Embiid
Rose - Korkmaz - Seth Curry - Niang - Noel

Embiid-Randle combo seems potent.
Has them start two inattentive defenders.  So start Thybulle to compensate.
Rose and Noel would lift their bench.  Kemba gets waived

Randle an upgrade over Tobias and $10M cheaper.
Fournier over Green.
Rose adds a dimension they could really use, and insurance in case Maxey struggles in the playoffs.  Noel lets Embiid get more rest.

Knix could throw in Reddish as well.
Simmons just 25.
Knix would have a ton of yute.  And an elite PG.  Pace and defense would change in a hurry.

True, may have been the knee

But we gave up 13 points in his 6 minutes and 19 after that.  So check yourself on Kemba's effect on the overall team defense.

Re : your deal - pretty sure Randle isn't on Morey's short, medium or long lists.

They are tenth.

I like the deal.   Justise needs to stay healthy.  Very underrated.

hmmmmm

The New York Knicks have expressed interest in trading for DeAaron Fox. Fox is averaging 21.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists this season in the Sacramento Kings crowded backcourt. Fox is signed through the 25  26 season.  This has been reported elsewhere, but  Ive heard as well that the Knicks have shown some interest in  DeAaron Fox, said Brian Windhorst on his podcast.  The player that makes the most sense in that swap is Julius Randle.

"Randle was incredible last season before a rough playoff series.

It feels like a mix of being heavily overused by Thibs mixed with Randle getting in his head about last season has been an unhealthy mix for his relationship with the Knicks.

I personally do not want to see the Knicks just give Randle away."

"Though I think part of Randles play is his being overworked by coach Thibodeau, it is also clear he has lost his confidence.

It is also important to note that Brian Windhorst mentioned that Randle and Thibs have been at odds to some degree, which Jonathan Macri said on Twitter as the first we have heard of this."

WTF Thibs, first you overwork him and now you do not want him? FU!!!

Good to see the Clips try to make a push despite their stars out, jettisoning useless players for useful ones.  Clips a scrappy bunch.  Did you see Morris Sr and RegJax defeat the Lakes?  Reg Jax skipping upcourt with the ball on the final play and then spinning through a baseline double team and hitting the game winning layup over a 3rd hapless Lake, then dancing through the post-game interview. 

Normative fits right in; Covington will help and keep Batum's mins down.
Just Win has become a 6-6 PF.  Tough, but foul prone.  Needs to get in better shape.  Can't make 3's or FT's.  Bledsoe pretty erratic.
Only question is who plays backup PG for LAC now?
Likely another move coming.  Maybe pick up Kemba or whoever gets waived.

____ - Kennard - T-Man - Covington - Heartofstone
Also Ibaka.  Real nice bench, except no backup PG.
Try to flip Ibaka for a backup PG (Malach Flynn?  McBride? Dragic? another vet?)

Blazers should have cashed in McCollum years ago.
