Well would the news upset us or make us happy? 

It would make some people happy and some people upset. Can't be more specific than that.

Can Philly even help with the cost of Harris if we accepted an offer including him?

Trading for Westbrook?

[NekiEcko]

I know that Morey is trying to get Beal from Washington, but he is going to hard ball again (A simple swap between Ben and Beal would work) but Washington wants more.  Wizards is also looking at Sabonis and Grant as well. 

IMO, we will make no changes during trade deadline, but Summertime is going to different

It is because many of those teams is still in the play-in tournament (even know that Wiz is on the losing streak, they still believe that they have a chance).

I think a deal for Ben and Beal straight up would actually be fair and a win for both teams.

If he was making 10 million a year to come our your bench and get buckets he could be effective in that role, that's about it though.

Multiply that by 4 to get closer to reality.

I resent that.  He made us happy just this week by bricking shots and helping us to beat LA.

We must be trading with the Knicks to get Cam back.

@Sothron I’m not looking for a response from you just sharing my thoughts on this for others****
 

If I had to guess “some people happy and some people upset”…this clearly  involves Ben Simmons for John Collins …..but that’s not the breaking news and should come to no surprise really since it’s been well known the last few weeks that an offer was on the table involving those two and even ESPN, Yahoo sports, etc had a few of their analyst confirm this.

so what’s the big news????!!!

….I’m going to take a high level guess that the big news coming is that Schlenks interest in Simmons is higher than what many originally thought and he’s willing to take on Tobias under certain conditions!

those conditions would point to Schlenk actually giving Morey  options to clear up cap space for harden this summer  but will gut Philly on draft picks in order to help them and take Tobias bad contract off their hands….and maybe there’s a 3rd team involved just help it all work out but the moves would be small on their end.

That’s my guess….. not because I want it to happen (I’m honestly not caring as much as I once did) but because I believe Schlenk interest in Simmons is at an extreme high to pair him with Trae.

I dont see it happening. Too many moving parts and too much risk, but we will know in about a week. 

[Diesel]

Well 

Since JC for Grant would make Nobody happy...

 

We know it's not that.

You’re probably right but I can’t think of any other potential trade that’s been discussed that has divided the fan base where some liked the trade and some didn’t…so it definitely has to be about Simmons…but hey we will see.
