No. A team can only have two Designated Players You can either sign 2 of your own OR Sign one of your own and trade for the other. You just cannot have two of them by trade. Ben was trade to Brooklyn therefore they cannot trade for another. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrie opts in, KD asks for trade, Kyrie requests a buyout - then join the team KD is traded to. That way he gets the bulk of his money and still leaves the Nets.

Thanks @JayBirdHawk for clarifying that this would not prevent Bam and Trae from playing together. IF we’re really targeting Simmons, we’re targeting the wrong player in this ordeal. BKN can keep Simmons and take one of our centers + Huerter. KD can go to Miami. And Bam can come to ATL. Solves the Simmons and Bam not being able to play together problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yungsta Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Don't get the Ben Simmons fit at all. We already have two guards who will dominate the ball for 30 mins-40 mins a game. We have enough playmaking. We should focus on getting playfinishers and shooters who can hold up defensively. At the end of the day, this is an offensive oriented league. We can't afford to have multiple non-shooters on the floor. Our offensive will crater come playoff time. I think we should focus on getting a SF/PF that can back up hunter, can make open shots and fit in our defensive switching scheme in the mold of a Jae Crowder/Pj Tucker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjmw Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I would take Kuzma/Avdija/1st. I would love the Washington version of KK for significantly less than JC, and a shot at replenishing draft assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine Capela and Simmons being on the court at the end of a close game? Hack a Cap or Hack a Ben. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that... just find it strange that it's possible CC and JC would be moved together. Hopefully one of them is Huerter.... getting jammed on the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjmw Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 At 6-11 and 245, Simmons could play the 5 in Atl with no issues as a rim runner and playmaker. Simmon can do everything CC can but better at C. Kuzma would be a solid fit based on playstyle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post AtLaS Posted July 1, 2022 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 WHY are we so damn desparate to trade JC? I just don't get it. Trade him next year, he will still have 3 years left. After this much dangling he has lost so much value. Simmons is a terrible idea with our current roster makeup. It will never work. Or with the Wiz? In what world does Kuzma impact our winning more than JC? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
