From the linked article

Smith then reiterated Kevin Durants impact in preventing this trade from happening, but later clarified that no Nets Sixers trade has been attempted.

It was a bullshit headline - got you to click -

heh

I see Boston added two more white shooters to fill out their 15

Nice

Love, Sexton, Okoro + Draft Capital
for Simmons

Yeah, that's another deal that nets PHI a PG.
Rather risky.

Sexton can score but can he set up and feed Embid?
And he will be looking for a big new contract next year.

Can Okoro shoot well enough to space the floor.
A strong defensive wing is always welcome, but Thybulle has that role.
Both trying to develop as 3&D wings who can guard 3 positions.
Of course, could move one of them later for value to reduce duplication.

Love is a big question mark.  $60M for 2 years.  So you need some production and minutes.
Just how broken down is he?

Seems like a great deal for CLE.
Sexton likely leaving and they'd ditch Love's $$, so the only real loss is promising raw youth in Okoro.  Add some picks.  Simmons a better more versatile defender than Okoro and a better facilitator than Sexton. 

Garland - Simmons - Osman - Markk - Jar Allen
That's interesting.  3 scorers, 2 top defenders.  Depends how the parts fit and how well Markk and Oz perform.  Rubio - Valentine - Windler - Mobley a rather thin bench they could build up later.

The draft capital would have to include at least one unprotected #1 to tempt Philly to take a flier on the earthly remains of Love.

Sexton-Embiid is a bad mix

Big Foot would cry all day about not being featured

PHI actually has a lot of wings:

Seth Curry   - Furkan Korkmaz - Shake Milton - rook Jaden Springer   
Danny Green - Matisse Thybulle and Georges Niangis a combo F

Copy/Cut/Paste moves not being correctly processed. 

Tried to share a piece from HoopsHype about the latest Kyrie Irving Flat Earth wackiness, this time of course regurgitating stupefying COVID vaccine conspiracies. 

Kyrie Irving

Andrew Wiggins

Jonathan Isaac

Refuse to get vaccinated

NBA needs to shut them down.  They are endangering their fellow players and everyone else in the arena.

They really arent

But definitely an NBA problem.

If there is loss of coin by these players we could see lawsuits

Jonathan Isaac  Misrepresentation only allows for others to attack straw men, and not reason with the true ideas and heart of their fellow man. It helps no one True journalism is dying I believe it is your God given right to decide if taking the vaccine is right for you Period More to follow

This is quite dumb

The NBA should insist that all players and staff are vaccinated or remove them from the team NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tells Rolling Stone. There is no room for players who are willing to risk the health and lives of their teammates, the staff and the fans simply because they are unable to grasp the seriousness of the situation or do the necessary research. What I find especially disingenuous about the vaccine deniers is their arrogance at disbelieving immunology and other medical experts. Yet, if their child was sick or they themselves needed emergency medical treatment, how quickly would they do exactly what those same experts told them to do?
