I think that if we could do Simmons for Buddy and our #1 and keep Bagley I would prefer that to the deal with Thybulle but either work for me.
Could Fox, Tyrese, Barnes, Simmons and Bagley work at the same time?
*Checks Kings roster*
You know, that actually fits us pretty well.
My thought is you'd need to find a traditional big for those games where the three forwards get destroyed down low and we'd still get eaten alive by the unicorns, and it would be pretty expensive lineup before you fill in another 3 rotation players. But we'd be in the playoffs every year.that would certainly be an incredibly modern lineup. The issue would be that you’d banking on Bagley being able to handle bigger big men and figuring out how to keep Simmons from getting in Fox’s driving lanes.
Davis and Wright. Presumably losing Holmes would actually open up more time for our better shooting bigs like Bagley and Metu.Well if you're trading Buddy for him I'm not sure you're going to be left with many shooters. Keep in mind that teams would all the more pack the paint against Fox.

That’s a tough one because while Buddy would certainly help out our spacing more, the ability to have Barnes and Simmons work against bigs and wings on defense and having a switchable lineup is really freaking tempting.Would you do it if it was Barnes instead of Buddy?
I think Barnes will be a harder hole to fill but yes, I would. Still fairly sure that lineup gets us to the playoffs year in year out. I don't need to be greedier than that.Would you do it if it was Barnes instead of Buddy?
He doesn't have to carry that burden, but if he was half the player that people tell me he is, he should have wanted to guard him, on that last possession of regulation. I don't know why people who deify Michael Jordan (not speaking of you, necessarily) would give Antetokounmpo a pass on this: he should have looked both Budenholzer and Tucker in the eye, and said, "No. EYE got KD!"why does Giannis have to carry the burden of the offense and defend Durant? That's why they acquired PJ Tucker and Jrue to take that burden
Come on, Simmons randomly hitting a buzzer beater three to win us a playoff series would probably destroy the internet.Ben Simmons could get the Kings to the playoffs, which w.ould be like winning the title for them, so I guess trading for him would be okay just for that...but, man, that dude either has shattered confidence or has none of that internal, eat at yourself, wake up at 3am and can't go back to sleep til you solve it drive and doesn't care that much. Or some of both. I feel for him and don't feel like rooting for him at the same time.

It does sorta feel like people are so busy dunking on poor Ben Simmons that they’re ignoring the fact that he’s a 6’11 dude with elite length and court vision that is also capable of defending every single position.I don't want to get excited but I feel like Simmons is basically at C-Webb being traded so Sacramento's point in his career arc.
Count me in on that!Come on, Simmons randomly hitting a buzzer beater three to win us a playoff series would probably destroy the internet.
The entire NBA community has blasted Ben into oblivion. Do I think the Kings will get him, someone will probably put together a compelling package and I bet they will get roasted for it until a year or two from now when it works out.Come on, we don't actually believe the Sixers are going to trade Ben to the Kings for any of the triple B's do we? The dust will settle and you would be looking at Hali and the 9 for him at the very least. I couldn't sign up for that. Plus the Sixers need to win NOW. They need a Beal type. How about Kyrie? If the Bulls come out slow next year, what about Lavine? What about BI?
I think Barnes will be a harder hole to fill but yes, I would. Still fairly sure that lineup gets us to the playoffs year in year out. I don't need to be greedier than that.
Bucks v Hawks. Time to find out who truly won the Bogie sweepstakes.
Tyrese. Bagley even, if he can stay healthy.

joel absolutely dunking on Ben now. At this rate, the Sixers won’t be able to give him away.
Now that's an angle. I was already planning on rooting for the Bucks, but damn.Bucks v Hawks. Time to find out who truly won the Bogie sweepstakes.
