BOS In: Kyrie Irving
BKN In: Al Horford, Dennis Schröder
Back to the Big 3 that could have been, sans AD, but a huge chip on Kyrie’s shoulder:
Irving/Pritchard
Smart/Richardson/Langford
Brown/Nesmith/Hernangomez
Tatum/Williams/Parker
Timelord/Kanter/Fernando
Why not make it a 3-way:
BOS: Simmons
PHI: Kyrie
BKN: Horford, Schroder
Kyrie might actually play for Philly.
why wouldn't Brooklyn just take Simmons in that scenario?
Maybe they would, the whole thing is far fetched. But if Brooklyn was willing to trade their head case for two for sure useful players maybe that is better than Simmons who may or may not do anything this season. If Brooklyn could get Horford and Schroder for Kyrie, they probably win the championship. With Simmons, who knows what you get.
For us, I am just saying that no way would we trade for Kyrie. Maybe we trade for Simmons though, a risk the Celtics are more likely to take than the Nets. And if Kyrie actually played, he would be perfect for the Sixers.
