Spurs Trade Rumor Thread (Spurs eyeing Collins, Osman? Fielding calls on Jak?)

[Degoat]

I kinda think the nets won that trade tbh Harden and Emiid are gonna clash

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Harden and Simmons traded

Not a shock. A prima donna for prima donna swap, and tbh, I think both teams improve with this trade.

[heyheymymy]

People forget the year Spurs sent RJ to Warriors for Stephen Jackson. The servers died for a while.

Oh man I forgot about that. It was like the return of the prodigal son lol

so many "WE STACKEDDDD" posts lol

The Brooklyn Nets are trading James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

[Mr. Body]

Nets making a smart move. I don't like Simmons that much, but Harden is a fat blob of trash at this point. When he's not getting his calls, what is he? Philly getting tubby for a big championship push this year might work, tho.

[RC_Drunkford]

that's a whole lot for Harden who's looking to want a max extension. 2 FRPs? Nets won that

Pretty smart deal for both teams. Like a cancer swap.

Hate to see Morey appear to unshackle from a self made albatross though cause it kinda looks like he saves a little face in the end though no doubt cost the franchise a ton of stress in the meantime.

Sixers getting man handled in that Harden/Simmons trade. Kyrie and KD don’t need a scorer but a defender anyways. Harden is just like his diet, empty calories. The internet will be flooded now with thought pieces on the trade. Unless Lakers make a trade.

I'm not seeing how the Nets won the deal considering the big centerpiece of it headed their way is a dude who refuses to play. We know how that works. If anything it's a wash.

Easily a win for Brooklyn... Marks turned what could have been a locker room debacle into a win against Morey.

It's a dude who refused to play for philly....he'll be on court for the Nets sooner rather than later..

[RC_Drunkford]

Kai Jones doesn't look that bad

[Gibbz]

Yeah I'm sure he'll buy in and suddenly be a great teammate.

[Leetonidas]

Nets fleeced the Sixers...Harden has declined big time, they gave up their best shooter, their Embiid backup, and two firsts. Ouch.

Can't wait for Philly fans to boo Harden when he puts up his typical 2-14 with 5 TOs in a closeout playoff game

[mo7888]

Obviously youre being sarcastic but...in actuality he will....

[rankingtear]

He's signed through '23, so it's not now or never and ideal roster construction or not, you don't give away good assets for mediocrity.

If they get a real first that's more value than the Aaron Gordon deal more than other similar bigs went for Capela Adams Valaciunas. They won't get that for a 1 year rental. I don't think they would resign him.

[Dverde]

Morey and Harden deserve each other.

[Mugen]

Good deal for the Nets tbh.

Playing with Durant. I don’t know what they’re going to do with Kyrie. I mean this Covid restrictions could be over soon (I hope).

[heyheymymy]

Kai Jones looks exactly like the type of raw lump of clay that the Spurs specialize in sculpting up. Just a matter of them thinking they like or want the project.

Spurs also are super star shy after Kawhi diva'd out so I could see them favoring project types that might tend to demonstrate loyalty vs. getting limelight hungry.

I live in Brooklyn's market. Harden is absolutely not the player he was. With the rules changes, he was insta-downgraded several levels, plus he's slower and less reactive. He can definitely help Philly over the hump this year, but Nets getting two good rotation pieces, where these were shaky spots with injuries, in Curry and Drummond, plus two picks... Marks is doing a good job. Probably overpaid for Harden last year (definitely), but the schedule hurt a lot of players and it was a chance he had to take.

[KingKev]

Check the source of the Poeltl to Hornets rumor, folks. Such random website. I call it complete bogus. The Spurs aren't giving up their second best player for trash and a FRP. They will seek a good young talent for sure. I would be surprised if they traded Poeltl at all. At best, it would be a smokescreen.

other way around. Horents arent giving up basically 3FRPs for Jak.

[Seventyniner]

WTF

Spurs trade White for Josh Richardson?!

[exstatic]

Realgm as well - there's only one pick outgoing, but it's protected all the way to 2025.

Gotcha. That pick is pretty likely to convey by 2024. They can structure it like Chicago did. The CHI pick is 2025, or two years after their pick conveys to Orlando, which hypothetically could be as late as 2024, in which case our pick gets bumped to 2026.

[Gibbz]

Shams reporting DW to Boston for Josh Richardson. Guessing there will be draft compensation.
