Would you trade Kawhi for Simmons?

[Jules_Winnfield]

LeBron
Covington
Kawhi
Saric
Embiid

After Sixers sign Bran.

[tholdren]

Of course

[Russ]

Sure.

Then let Chip go to work.

:flag:

[Chillen]

Philly still getting the better player but if Leonard wants out Simmons would be perfect. Philly would do this deal even if they didn't sign LeBron.

[SuperCam]

spurfan thinking they can get top shelf young talent for Kiwi in his current state :lol

LeBron, Kawhi and Embiid is an instant championship if healthy.

[koriwhat]

not sure about what leonard is actually about atm but i'd love a real pg like simmons who not only is a huge upgrade at the position but also plays multiple positions because of his size and skillset.

this past season has soured my outlook on leonard but i'm still holding out that there was more talk from others than how leonard actually feels about the situation.

[Robz4000]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

[CGD]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

Yup

[Spurtacular]

Are we pushing Rec League Parker out the door in this scenario?

[RD2191]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

Why? Simmons is trash, dude can't shoot.

[Chinook]

If Kawhi is going to be healthy and sign an extension? It's damned close, but probably not. If Kawhi is only going to do one or neither of those things? Yes.

[RD2191]

Sixers -55 with Simmons on the floor, +24 with him off. :wow

[Robz4000]

Why? Simmons is trash, dude can't shoot.

Neither could Lebron, and the Spurs do have Chip (albeit he doesn't seem to have done his job lately).

[Jules_Winnfield]

lol no

Simmons has zero shooting ability right now, zero.

[cjw]

Some on here would make the deal for Jonathon Simmons

[Chillen]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

Not if they had LeBron replacing Simmons. Leonard, James, Embiid will be tough as hell to beat in a 7 game playoff series.

Same can be said for Leonard, James, Aldridge.

[Play Boban]

I’d trade Kawhitter for a piece of trash in a Whataburger garbage can, so of course.

[phxspurfan]

In a fucking heartbeat

[ducks]

Some on here would make the deal for Jonathon Simmons

[coachmac87]

No.

Simmons is at least 2-3 years to be a championship level player..If healthy Kawhi already is for at least the next 5.

That 1pt game is all you need to why you don’t this

[cjw]

No.

He is severely limited right now if you have time to gameplan for him. Atrocious series.

[tholdren]

Neither can 70 percent of the league

[Slippy]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

True.

Magic Johnson when he first started couldnt shoot either

[99 Problems]

Wots wrong with Aussies?

[alpha_HaZE]

Kawhi + Sixers makes me horny. But no, I would not do that trade. If Kawhi wants to go, we need draft picks. BS does not make us contenders right now and if it's going to be a few years down the road. I want us to get draft picks; Donovan Mitchen was drafted 13th last year, Kawhi was 15th, there is plenty NBA talent in the draft. The only players that make us contenders is currently injured, and that is Kristaps Porzingis.

[TheGreatYacht]

Folks here still think Chip Engelland is some magician :lmao

It's hard to perform miracles when you have a bunch of g-league bums to work with, tbh.

[tholdren]

Folks here still think Chip Engelland is some magician :lmao

And posters here think the players entering nba are even decent. Number 1 draft pick had to sit out yr 1 and most of 2 bc of no shooting. .. nba is such a joke

[LakerHater]

NO!

[Big Empty]

If kawhi wants out we need something in return. If Simmons is the best option u do it.

[AFBlue]

Trade Kawhi east where you don't have to face him til the finals and get back a triple-double caliber player. Easy answer.

[DAF86]

LeBron
Covington
Kawhi
Saric
Embiid

After Sixers sign Bran.

If Sixers can get Lebron, trading Simmons for Kawhi makes a lot of sense, tbh.

[DAF86]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

Have you been seeing Simmons play this series? If the Sixers can get Lebron, a Lebron-Kawhi pairing makes a lot more sense than a Lebron-Simmons one.

[Robz4000]

Agreed, but that remains to be seen. If Lebron doesn't go to Philly my comment stands.

Simmons has had an awful series, but judging him on that is asinine after the "rookie" season he had.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Yes please

[Kawhitstorm]

Unfortunately not every bum Drunk picks up outside of a Greyhound station is as prodigious as Kawhi who leads all active players in postseason TS% & 3P%.:wakeup

Sure, but if the Spurs call the Sixers offering a Kawhi for Simmons swap there would be no laughing coming from the other side, tbh.

With no Lebron commitment they would. Kawhi hasn't played in a year, seemingly has some career-altering quad condition, and is a few agent in a year. No reason to trade away a potentially generational talent for a one-year rental of Kawhi who may not be able to play at a high level.

Kawhi is a top 3 player in the World who is only 26. All that speculation about Kawhi's injury situations, is just that: speculation. Sure, it is something to consider, and indeed it might end up being the deciding factor for them to ultimately say no. But to act like a Kawhi-Simmons swap would be no brainer denial from the Sixers' part is fucking ridiculous. Kawhi >>>> Simmons, and with Simmons' huge, glaring defect I don't see him ever reaching the level of playing that Kawhi reached.

And one more thing: if Lebron sees Kawhi going to the Sixers, he will sign there. No doubt in my mind.

[Ice009]

I'm not a fan of Simmons after watching him a bit more closely, sure he can pass, but it doesn't look like he can shoot, and he's not much of a scorer either, so I wouldn't want to trade Kawhi for him at all. If Kawhi was playing this season and didn't want to leave, I would hang up the phone if it was the reverse and Philadelphia called and made that offer. I wouldn't even laugh or anything, I'd just straight hang up the phone.

I wonder how Simmons would do if he was put on a team where he had to score. I think he'd do quite poorly and that team might not even make the playoffs. From the limited sample size I've seen personally, it looks like he needs to be on a team with scorers around him to be effective. If he had to be the primary scorer of a team, I think that team would struggle.

Pop better fix this shit because I don't want most of these scrubs that the Spurs would be looking at if he wants to leave.

I agree with you. However, this is just his first year. He will only get better in years to come.

[Poolboy5623]

I must be the only one that thought you meant John Simmons??

[itzsoweezee]

I'd rather have Tatum

Simmons is never going to be a shooter. I read that he shot zero threes in college and high school, in addition to the zero threes he's shot this year.

[BackHome]

Simmons reminds me of a taller version of Murray

[DPG21920]

I don’t think a team like BOS is going to do a deal. Whether we believe it or not, they believe in their run and current group and don’t need to take any risks. If Kawhi fell in their lap, sure, but they aren’t going to get into a bidding war.

A team like PHI, or LAL/LAC or PHX is far more likely IMO. Unless we get some major news that Kawhi has been fully cleared medically and helps his value out, I don’t see a team like BOS taking the risk.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'd do it but Philly would hang up the phone laughing.

[Ice009]

Philly would be retarded to do that (laughing on the other end of the phone). Kawhi is a superior player on both ends of the court.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If he sees the court...

[DPG21920]

The key is his health. Im hoping kawhi’s team clears him now that the season is over and there is no risk to him hurting himself going into contract years.

That would go a LONG WAY to upping his value big time.

[BackHome]

Philly just got rolled and there Stars pretty much sucked. So I don’t think they will laugh at getting a chance to get a healthy Kawhi. It’s one of the teams his camp say he would go to and it’s also a place Lebrin would go to.

[DAF86]

Kawhi, Mills and Murray for Simmons, Covington and Futlz.

Well, maybe Kawhi, Mills and Murray for Simmons, Covington and McConnell.

Simmons, White, Covington, Bertans, Aldridge.

Fultz/McConnell, Manu, Green, Gay, Gasol.

















Just go with it.

[DMC]

Philly won't trade directly with SA. They'll get Kawhi through a 3 team deal that sends Simmons to the Lakers and Kuzma to the Spurs.

[tholdren]

Tj mcconnel outplayed simmons and embiid
