Kemba serves no purpose on the 76ers, too many people who need the ball. The 76ers need depth & help on the wings. Suns need a p.g & have no use for Ariza, trade Fultz for Ariza & run a lineup of Simmons-Reddick-Butler-Ariza-Embid.

The chance that Fultz gets over the yips and returns to form, however small, is >>> than one year of an overpaid and washed Ariza.

Ariza and Warren for Fultz could be an ok swap.

Fultz might be a nice fit next to Trae in ATL and they have a few pieces that could work in Philly like Prince & Bazemore.

Trae passing constantly to a guy who can’t shoot would be amazing.

They could just pass the ball back and forth until the shot clock expires every possession.

76ers aren’t going to get anything of any value for Fultz right now. It’s not happening. Maybe if he straightens out and can play ok for a while they could get a little something, but he has no value right now. It’s amazing he was number 1 overall pick.

It’s crazy that philly whiffed on multiple lottery picks and still built a great core.

Noel, Okafor, Fultz. Quite the process.

That was the exact reason for the process, to have enough shots at it to get land a franchise player. And they got 2.

The 76ers would snap take that offer but Fultz has very little value currently & i'm not sure he recovers it & even if he doesn it won't be on this team with not not even getting point guard duties.

Pretty sick all the adversity the warriors will have to overcome to title this year. I'm sure David West agrees

Malik Monk is the future for the Hornets. I don't see them offering Lamb the money he will be able to get on the open market next season. The Hornets have little leverage and being a rental just means he should be relatively cheap.

Would really love to see him on Philly. JJ and Lamb would be a great combo splitting the minutes at the 2. Philly really needs one more player for their rotation and a SG should be top priority.

Draymond seems like such an insufferable dumbass

would be pretty funny if they just traded him

(hmm, he seems to be having his worst season since his rookie year maybe, interesting)

Durant could even give them an ultimatum. It’s totally possible he could say “trade DRAYMOND or I’m peacing in the offseason.”

Plus there’s the problem that they would have to pay a billion dollars to keep everybody going forward.

If you want to get really deep in the weeds, enterprising lip readers found footage of Durant seemingly muttering "this is why I'm out" under his breath while heading back on the court Monday -- a possible allusion to his impending free-agent decision.

I don't think Butler has a problem with someone else being the franchise player, but I think he has a problem with someone who doesn't work as hard as he does and who doesn't try as hard on defense as he does being the franchise player.

Seems like trading Durant for a haul would be the move I would go with. You still have good title equity and can load up on picks/assets at a point where the cupboard is pretty bare on that front.

Draymond has no filter. He says **** that cuts straight to the bone. (Remember him yelling at Paul Pierce about chasing the farewell tour.) My guess is that he called Durant a ring-chasing ***** who only cares about his upcoming free agency.

That's about 80% true, and 100% unlikely to change, which is why it is such an inflammatory and counterproductive thing to say.

What’s a reasonable return for KD?
Who are potential trade partners?

Seems like a good idea in theory but can’t imagine GS getting the return they want.

Who are the trade partners in this scenario that you would be willing to trade with? Only way i trade KD is to a team that sucks now but who's foolishly willing to give up significant pieces to get him.

KD takes the Warriors from like 40% to title to around 65%. He is worth way more to the Warriors than he is to any other team. Even if he tells them he's leaving this summer, they still shouldn't trade him.
