Around the League: Off-season

I don’t think we would trade Ayton straight up for Simmons at this point in their careers, even if the numbers worked for such a trade.

Spurs get: Simmons
Sixers get: Aminu, Hutchinson, Walker, Stix, Dario
Suns get: Thad, Eubanks

That’s a lot of nothing headed towards Philly.

I'd be willing to throw in some 2nd rounders.

Spurs would have to include some combo of Murray/White/Johnson/Vassell.

I agree that the Spurs make a lot of sense as a destination, but any trade probably starts with Dejounte and Vassell as part of the package.

Embiid cracks me up sometimes.

This is better. There could be something there tho with a 3 team if the Spurs think they can make it work with Simmons.

I wonder if we weren’t interested or if Paul wasn’t interested in us

My gut tells me Jones is waiting out the KLove situation.

Maybe not non-actively waiting. They know each other really, really well.

Hasn’t he already announced that he won’t accept a buyout? If you don’t want him at $30M a season, you don’t want him.

Might've just been some posturing.

He did seem to be standing a little taller.

Let's see how the Thad/Love situation plays out. If we get neither, then it was a huge fail signing Frank over Milsap.

Post by **Superbone** » Thu Sep 02, 2021 5:15 pm

I'm sure we can figure out a way to make it a huge fail no matter what happens.

I can't believe the Suns didn't trade Jalen Smith for Damian Lillard.

Since LMA no longer can get playing time in Brooklyn, the Suns might want to make a play for him. Cleared to play now.
