kevin durant can eat teams alive from all over the court :dead: a ball handler getting left alone on the perimeter is nothing KD ain't seen before breh

Look at how teams defend Draymond

Expect to see a lot of similar actions to GS...dribble hand off ball screens will get KD and Kyrie open looks for days

:mjlol:

the team who gets the best player wins the trade. thus the sixers are the winners here.

the nets don't even know when simmons will even be available to play yet :camby:

the 22 1st round pick from the sixers is worthless. and the 27 pick is so far in the future, who cares right now?

Nets got a new candidate for worst NBA trade in history

Brooklyn’s 2022, 2024 and 2026 unprotected first-round picks, unprotected pick swaps with Brooklyn in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027 for 16 games of Harden, KD, and Kyrie

Easy to blame Harden for being a bytch ass but Kyrie was one too not getting vaccinated. KD deserves better.

THEY WERE UP 2-0
ON MILWAUKEE LAST SEASON,
STARTING BRUCE BROWN
AND HE HARDLY EVER TAKES
A JUMP SHOT.

DUDE WAS GETTING ALL
OF HIS BUCKETS AS THE ROLL MAN...

YOU HAVE SIMMONS AT THE 4 SCREEN
FOR KD/KYRIE AND ROLL TO THE BASKET AND HE CAN BECOME
THE NEW KARL MALONE.

:devil:
:evil:

This all sounds good in theory, but we both know Ben Simmons doesn't want to be the "roll man". He wants to be the point guard with the ball in his hands running the offense. The last time we saw Simmons he was so scared of going to the freethrow line he passed on an open dunk so I have doubts he is all of a sudden going to be rolling to the basket hard where he is surely getting fouled and being forced to go to the line.

Half yall just clueless to basketball.

You see it with the Lakers.
Lebron and Westbrook have the same play style. They both need the ball in order for the team to operate. When one has the ball, the other is out of his role. They are not spot up shooters.

Its the same way with Kyrie and Simmons. They both need the ball in order to operate. The problem here is Ben is also a liability because he cant shoot a free throw. Yall talking about Draymond. That is straight up disrespect to Dray. Dray IQ is miles higher than ben and Dray can shoot a free throw.

No one is hacking Dray. Teams are hacking Simmons on the regular.

There is no scenario in which this will work for the Nets as far as Simmons. The nets true value is in Seth and Drummond. Drummond is a big body in the middle for which they need and seth is a shooter where you are lacking hardens points.

He didnt want Philly to trade to a division rival and help KD. I get that...but we did it without Maxey or Matisse being included.

Both teams improved
I need every rim running big on the phone now STAT :damn: :damn: :damn:
They gave up a lot for a nikka they coulda signed this offseason. Maybe this trade keeps them from investigation but Harden was coming to Philly. Coulda used been to get another piece.














Or maybe this is the start of the death of big 3s
