TreyMachine 423 Report post Posted November 8, 2022 I’m happy that offense doesn’t seem to be our issue anymore but I’m concerned these last few games about how bad our team defense has been. Our lineups are HUGE compared to others and we should be swarming on defense. Cant win games when we consistently give up 120+ PPG… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever it is....is a mess, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't either of you slam your thumb into a door, slip in the shower, throw out your back taking a leak or walk past a building where a piano falls on your head.

Captain 24 Report post Posted November 8, 2022 18 hours ago, ball junkie said: Orlando Magic Buy Low on Ben Simmons Orlando Magic Receive: PG Ben Simmons Brooklyn Nets Receive: F/C Mo Bamba, SF Terrence Ross, SG Gary Harris On the long list of the Nets' problems is the play of Simmons, who's struggled in a return from back surgery. The 26-year-old is averaging just 6.2 points per game on the worst shooting of his career (44.1 percent). He's attempted just one three-pointer on the season and has still shown no interest in expanding his game. "Ben Simmons has been a source of frustration for Kevin Durant, for others on the Nets so far, because he's been unable to stay on the floor with a knee injury, but prior to that, he has shown that he's a long way away from being back to an impactful player," ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said on NBA Today. The best thing for Simmons' career would be getting out of the circus in Brooklyn and moving to a young, rebuilding team in a small market where he can focus on basketball and not be in the center of a media storm every single night. Because of this, the Orlando Magic would be a perfect fit. Orlando loves its tall, versatile lineups, ones the 6'10" Simmons can plug into immediately. There would be enough scoring options around him in players like Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr. and Cole Anthony so that Simmons could focus on playmaking, rebounding and defense. For Brooklyn, getting back a trio of rotation players would mean a deeper, more talented roster overall. Bamba would give the frontcourt another shot-blocking presence, plus the ability to step out and knock down threes. Ross has long represented instant offense off the bench, and Harris will be a valuable three-and-D wing when he returns from arthroscopic knee surgery. Note: Bamba is not eligible to be traded until Dec. 15. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10054831-fresh-trade-ideas-spinning-off-latest-news-and-rumors So trade some of our 3 best 3-point shooters for a non shooting guard to help our team which is statistically one of the worst 3-point teams in the league?

PASS I made the suggestion of trying to get Simmons for cheap and just using him as a passer at the beginning of the season. That was quickly shot down. I agree with you that this is not a good deal. Why would we want to give away three guy's who at certain moments shoot the ball for someone who is to scared? I would still do a deal of maybe Mo and either cash or a second round pick. Simmons should be cheaper than what we did to get Fultz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
