Tacko Fall: Words cannot express how much I have enjoyed playing in Boston these last 2 years, it was both a blessing and an honor I will forever be grateful for

he played ONE HUNDRED SIXTY NINE minutes

heh

[kidcarter8]

Nyets are going to need KD to stay healthy and be their stopper

They have no one else capable of taking on the role

Neither Kyrie nor Harden?

Both are guys to have big nights against though they each might individually outscore you

Alize to Chicago on a two year deal

Matt Thomas to Bulls as well

[bodiddley]

Hard to see StanJohn getting minutes with DeRozan, ZLavine, Caruso ahead of him.
Plus Derrick Jones Jr and Alize.  Seems like injury insurance.
StanJohn a terrific defender and dynamite on the break.  Needs to develop a shot.
I'd put him out there some with Zo Ball.  Lockdown D and go for transition hoops.

[kidcarter8]

Well...

ten rotation slots....

Training camp decides

[facilitatorn]

It is the two Johnsons and Troy Brown in competition to play behind Williams and DeRozan

There are minutes available for at least two of the three

[chipstern]

We are all just passing through...



Be KIND on your way out the portal.

Ben Simmons?

A confounding player to this observer.  Still, some perspective, as to the things he does well...

New York's own DICK MCGUIRE, master point guard. 

He posted a lifetime FG% of .389

His FT% clocked in at .644

Led us to two NBA Finals, where our championship aspirations were derailed by George Mikan's Lakers. 

McGuire's #15 hangs in the rafters at MSG. 

Dick is in the Hall Of Fame.

One rumor:
Simmons to CLE for Sexton + Markk + Osman

Gives PHI a PG and two shooters.
Scoring, but not much in the way of defensive help.

CLE would have a core of Garland - Okoro - Simmons - Mobley - Jar Allen
Would really need wing scoring.  But some strong defenders.
Would certainly be good for Dotson and Love -- giving them ops to offend.
Can't be done until Oct 27.


PHI:
Garland/Maxey - Danny Green/Seth Curry - Osman/Thybull - Tobias /Markk - Embiid/Drummond

I take it you mean Sexton. 

I have not seen this speculation. 

Would be a pretty good haul for Philly. 

At the risk of inserting an element of reality, not a strong suit of internet bloggers and their phantasmagorical conceits. 

Markk cannot be traded until mid-December. 

Philly cannot realistically afford to keep an unhappy, unwilling, non-participating Simmons six weeks deep into the new season. 

What I read is that the Timberwolves are interested in pulling something off. 

Only thing that works, short of a third team being involved, is D'Angelo Russell plus a shitload of draft picks.  Their big ass contracts are within 15% of each other. 

Does Philly accept that?

That reporter quotes Marc Stein as the source behind this particular rumor.

I keep seeing that Markk and others who were traded recently can be packaged in another trade starting Oct 27.  That's what this article states.  Why it's earlier than the previous Dec date, I don't know.  But this is about the 3rd time separate time I've seen Oct. 27 listed as the re-trade date.

And yes, I meant Sexton on Philly, not Garland.
Simmons reportedly has a good relationship with Garland and they share an agency (Klutch Sports).

It makes sense for CLE if they aren't willing to pay Sexton.  Pay Simmons instead.
They'd still need to get some wing players and build up a team over the next year or two, but Simmons is young and Love's contract doesn't last forever.

[kiidcarter8]

Wolves want to keep their big three and add Simmons.

So Beasley, McDaniels plus plus plus

When I entered the transaction Iin the REAL GM Trade Checker it was rejected, and December 15 was listed.

Perhaps the sign and trade aspect of Mark coming to the Cavs  is the difference. 

I don't think Cavs give up that package.

[chipstern]

Simmons gets half his salary out front in the beginning of October

Philly is fucked.

[kidcarter8]

Every east team is fu**ed

Nets far and away the runaway winner

[lesterluv]

lol...not so fast.

Nets can surely be extraordinary.
And could equally be a season-long fiasco.

Body on all three superstars could certainly fail. Kyrie averages about 50 games a year, for starters.
Head on two of three superstars could certainly fail. Harden, after all, is perhaps the greatest proven choke-job artist in NBA history. And Kyrie is Kyrie.

Don't be awarding any East titles yet. Hardly automatic.
