Shams: Celtics Interested In Simmons

[michigan adam]

I would do Smart, Richardson, fernando OR Hernan to make the numbers work.  No picks either way.

Schroeder
Brown
Tatum
Simmons
Hortford

Bench of Pritchard, nesmith, langford, RW3

Deep bench Kanter, parker, GW, fernando OR Hernan

I don't think 6ers do this, but at this point this is all he is worth.

C's do this to trade Marcus "poor playmaking" this year, and overall poor shooting and short stature, for a taller guy who's size fits better, has similar D albeit against larger opposition, and shoots ZERO from outside, but shoots a higher percentage from inside and passes better.  Simmons is better, but this package is fair I think.

Do yourself a favor and propose this same idea in a Sixers forum. I bet every single poster will consider it insulting. Other teams aren't stupid, neither do they have to accept our leftovers for their best players. If the Sixers were willing to dump Simmons for pennies on the dollar, they would have already traded him by now.

#1 I said 6ers would not do this.  This is what I said I would do.  They want him worth more than this he just isn't.  Before his injury, Jaylen was scoring 26 points per game, on a balanced game, with All NBA defense and no chemistry issues, at least in public.  He was shooting well from inside and out and has decent if not quite good enough passing numbers.  What has Simmons done except be a cancer, not play a game, and p--- all of his team mates off.  In his career he has at least 3 massive holes in his game(outside shooting, free throw shooting, and playoff/clutch play) on top of only scoring about half Jaylen recently.  He is basically smart with a bigger body.  3rd or 4th scorer, great defender, facilatator and decent rebounder(simmons ismuch better rebounder and slightly better facilator 8.2ast 3.4 TO versus 5.7ast 2 to best seasons).  Their scoring is similar with MS being a little less consistent but at least has an outside shot and significantly better on FT's.  Simmons is worth more than smart, but not head and shoulders better.

Seeing here that Daryl Morey asked for JB, Smart, RWill, and a protected 1st. In return we'd get Danny Green and that lazy so-and-so of a Simmons.

Would love to see a source on that. It says the source is Shams Charania but I can't find it anywhere.

LOL.  It would take Embiid instead of Green or 6 first round picks no swaps(not sure I would even do that lol) to sweeten that package.  If they keep their demands even close to that high he will be on that team all year and be worth even less next year.

Yeah, and I could ask to go out on a date with Arianna Grande……the odds of the answer being “yes” to Morey’s request or mine is about the same!!!

Morey does have a reputation of insisting on ridiculous trades.  That one is beyond the pale though.  Take out JB, maybe, and I’d do it.

‘There’s belief among rival executives and league personnel that Simmons could even remain on the Sixers roster past the trade deadline. Morey’s asking price remains higher than any rival front office has been willing to match. The weekly updates on Simmons’ status with the team and whether he’s being fined have had no impact on his trade value among rival executives. 

But there’s now been a moment of flirtation with Boston, and every deal in the NBA stems from a first phone call. Back in December 2014, for example, Boston called Phoenix about trading for Isaiah Thomas. It was the first brief exchange that inevitably led to the Celtics nabbing Thomas a few minutes before the 2015 trade deadline that February. ‘

Man the more I think about this trade the angrier I get.

We're a team with consistency issues. A team that lacks that grit and fire. Need someone that takes the lead, enforces, gets angry

And you're gonna get the shyest person ever to play in the NBA? :]]

Yeah that's the one I was talking about.

Like, I can't source the quote. Maybe it's in an article behind a paywall or something, but it's not in Shams' tweets or grams.

Lol.  That’s gotta be fake.  GMs don’t actually hang up on each other like that.  That’s just fanboy imagination stuff.

Yeah. I'm 100% thinking it's missing context. Probably was said sarcastically.
