I particularly love when Rivers removed Simmons for the final minute of Game 7, down 4 with the ball.

lol, lol, lol
keep digging that hol

I heard that KD killed a prospective Simmons/KI trade.

I could see a long shot-shy Simmons playing with and feeding Durant and Harden and fitting in with his passing and D and paint-game

but KD said NFW, and had KI's back.

I think he knew that Embiid would kill KI if he tried to pull his shit in Philly.

"Julius Randle & RJ Barrett for Karl Anthony-Towns.  Who says no?"

That's one of those perfect trades ... where neither team would do it.

Thibs and Towns didn't exactly get along well in Minn.
And Thibs couldn't get KAT to play D then.

Other issues:
- bail on Randle once he starts performing at a high level, only to start over trying to get KAT to impact Winning?
- lose a 2-way yute, your 2nd best player?
- Can KAT play next to Mitch?

All seems like a losing play for NYK.

Now if MINN wanted Randle and Noel for KAT, I'd have to pause.
Still think it's a bad idea for the reasons above -- mainly: Why trade Randle? -- but from a raw talent perspective, I'd at least be intrigued.  Maybe if the Knix felt ObiT was ready to be a big contributor and Mitch healthy/durable(?)

Google it.

I think the original source was Stephen A.

"Although there is so much drama revolving around where Simmons will end up, the Nets have now been linked to a potential blockbuster trade at least according to Stephen A. Smith.

For some Elba reason I can't post the entire quote. So go to the link.

That's interesting to me, because a significant problem for PHI is they really need to get back a starting-level PG in a Simmons trade (or give up a year of competing, and kick the problem down the road).

So trying to nab Kyrie makes sense.

It's not going to be easy for PHI to pull off:

I guess something like Siakim + Dragic + ____ could cover.
Dragic and Maxey could be an adequate platoon.

KZ + Brunson for Simmons
Maybe a weird fit, as the idea has been to get shooters around Luka.  But an elite defender, instead of gimpy KZ.  Take some ballhandling load off Luka so he can perform in the 4Q.
Gets PHI a PG and a shooter for Embiid.

And can toss in picks or another player to balance things up.

That's curious, BANK. 

I've had the exact same problem doing cut and pastes. 

Weird

Kyrie Irving has NOT BEEN vaccinated.

Yeah, he's one who I suspect won't get the vaccine and won't play home games.    At least for a while.  Could be why his name is in trade rumors.

Just when one is ready, willing and able to render unto Kyrie that which is Irving's, as he has made any number of charitable gestures, he goes total Flat Earth AssHat on you.

But by all means, Sean Marks, pay him 30 million plus a year to play NO HOME GAMES. 

I can dig it. 

PS: Who's in charge of the Nets?

Chamaco (and Trumpf) are very disappointed with the Knicks, but happy about Kyrie and Wiggins.

A: KD and Kyrie.

Just has to get tested
