I know you agree, but do you really think Ben is reliable enough to say "Oh yeah he has the mental fortitude to guard KD" ? 80 mil for 2 years on a prayer seems like awful roster building.

If the Nets would eat Bertans AND send assets back, I could get on board. It would open up avenues to other deals using those assets. It would also lock Cuban (assuming a Kyrie extension) into a LT mess for the next few years which would be the #1 reason I don't see it being within the realm of possibilities. If the Nets are throwing assets in with him, dealing him to Utah is a lot cleaner for BRK but they would have to deal with Ainge ripping their guts out.

Oh, I'd need Bertans AND McGee to be outgoing to even have the conversation. To be clear, I'm not even really suggesting this, just thinking out loud. For all we know, Simmons and Kyrie hate each other. No idea.

Including this season...
Simmons has 112M left. Bertans/THJ have 91M left with a Bertans buyout. If other teams ask for two 1st rounders as compensation, maybe the Nets would be willing to entertain it. I´d guess the Nets would ask for Bertans + Wood/Powell as expiring deals. Maybe you do it, if you get an extra first rounder. Then try and flip the Nets 1st, Mavs first and THJ for a real difference maker?

No idea if that's even a possibility, but I know we've debated it around here a ton. Now, after the trade, I think you opt for the guy who's more consistent and don't look back.

Poor John Collins. Just take Bertans + Powell and be done with it, stupid Hawks. You won the Young/Reddish for Luka trade already.

Assuming Kyrie loves Ben and Kidd thinks there is a role for him, it could be another swing at taking on a distressed asset. Wood/Bertans/McGee for Simmons/Cam Johnson. If the Durant deal gets finalized, you can swing two deals with McGee for Johnson and Bertans/Wood for Simmions. Powell/Simmons Johnson/Maxi Bullock/Green Luka/THJ Kyrie/Hardy That's a lot of shooting around Luka/Kyrie. Say that was a real framework for a deal; what else does BRK have to send to DAL to get it done. I want our pick back. I want another 1st. I want a mess of 2nd rounders too as those are clearly needed to do these deals around the fringes.

Ok stop making sense and convincing me to take on The Young Socialite Ben Simmons. It makes a lot of sense. Cam+Simmons for our meh contracts on paper would be a huge boon.

If we could turn THJ + Powell + Wood + Bertans into Ben Simmons and John Collins, I think we´d be the favourite for the title. I bet you get a few ring chasers with that core. Dragic, Bitadze and Westbrook to stick it to LeBron and KD at the same time. Doncic/Westbrook Irving/Dragic Green/Bullock Collins/Kleber Simmons/Bitadze Let´s just run everybody off the floor, including Luka. |
