2024 NBA Season

Ben Simmons finally finding a new home in Atlanta with the Hawks? Looks like Him and Tobias Harris will be going to play alongside Trae Young. Not sure who they’re getting back but I’m glad to see this saga finally nearing it’s end. I would’ve rather seen Simmons end up in Sacramento, but maybe he’ll be a nice with next to Trae. It will be good to see him playing again and earning a check regardless.

And who will be the players going to be traded from Atlanta? Collins is still very good at second fiddle to Trae Young so it will be a bad move for the Hawks to ship him out just to get Simmons to Atlanta.

Yeah, I agree that Sacramento might be a good home for Ben as they are really in a disarray and needed someone to be the point leader and for sure Ben can provide that leadership.

76ers would also not agree if they will not get a player that would be worth for Simmons's trade. Before the 76ers had a problem with Simmons, he used to be the 2nd best of the team, of course, next to Embiid, so I think it's just fair to also get then 2nd best of Hawks in exchange for Simmons.

There was a wonderful game last night. Grizzlies hosted Warriors and it was a game between really powerful teams. We know how great Grizzlies have been so far considering their winning streak. And Warriors also are doing very good as they were the Western Conference leader. As of Klay Thompson's being back, the expectations from Warriors have increased obviously. But in this game, Thompson was still trying to adapt to the game tempo again so he didn't have impressive stats. Grizzlies made use of this chance in a great way and defeated them by 116-108. They are still unstoppable as this was their 10th consecutive win. What an insane effort!

Well, if they will trade him then at least it will not be on the 76ers because he isn't fit there (at least for me) unless he wants to be a bench player.

He won't go to the bench, sixers would be stupid enough if they will not utilize his talent, this guy could do effectively both on offense and defense so he is also a major loss for the Hawks if they will trade him, remember his contribution in the playoffs, he is so valuable as he is not afraid to play with the bigs of any team.

I do agree. Someone will need to fill the spot of Tobias Harris if ever he will be part of the trade. Not the hole left by Ben Simmons because 76ers already got used to playing without him.
But regarding the comparison, yes Collins has the upper hand because of his shooting skills. Embiid won't even have a problem with him because he can play both off guard/small forward, plus they need more big men if ever he needs the breather.
Looking at the 76ers roster, their players under the rim are Embiid, Drummond, and Niang. Korkmaz is being forced to help with the rebound although we know he is best being an outside defender. They badly need that forward spot that could rebound and maybe shoot at a high percentage to make space for Embiid to do his magic in the paint.

I would be happy if the trade that we are looking for will eventually come into reality. Ben Simmons has been laid off for a while, he need a new team so him and the 76ers will be able to move on and everyone will be happy. If he will play with the Hawks, then so be it, as long as both teams are satisfied on the trade, everything should happen ASAP.

I think the Sixers has move on without Ben and it shows that the are very successful as they are one of the teams who are into a winning streak right now. And it's obvious that it is Embid-centric team and not Ben. But yeah, if Simmons + Harris is traded to Atlanta so be it, Collins has gone to the public that he is not happy with his role right now wit the Hawks so come Jan 15, we will find out if the trade has push through.

Let's wait for that particular time so we will know if Simmons will be move from his current team. He is just a floating employee where he is not doing anything and that's not good for his career. Collins is like in the situation of Leonard before with the Spurs, he is not happy, so he should be move/traded.

And you can see in Collins body language that he is not enjoying with the Hawks in recent games. Usually he is really hot and will go or a rebound or put up a posterized dunk. But we haven't seen if from him.

One thing I notice is that he is not getting the pass he wanted to, unlike last year when he started to blossom and we've seen him and Trae really connecting that's why they are a big surprised in the East last playoff.

Deadline is near and most of the time they are doing the trades a day before it ends. 76ers might be looking for another offer that's why they leaked the news of a possible trade with the Atlanta Hawks. What could Tobias Harris be feeling right now when he saw he is part of the rumors?
It's not just that, Thybulle is also being injected on the gossip in exchange for the Harris gift pack.   Why don't they try Phoenix Suns so that Kendall Jenner won't have troubles going back and forth Phoenix and Philadelphia. Just kidding.

That's less than a week from now, and eventually, we will know when Simmons will land after many months of waiting. If other teams will be interested on Simmons, they could have got him before the deadline, but it's still up to the 76ers on whom they'll approve as they paid a lot fo Simmons being one of the star players of the team.

I believe that Klay Thompson will start playing like in the old times after having a few games in the adaptation process. And one night later, there is another really tough game waiting for Warriors. It is going to be against Bucks in an away game. After being defeated by Grizzlies, they could get another loss in this one too. Bucks have Giannis above all else and they are strong enough to be able to beat Warriors. But it is still hard to predict it.

[ChiBitCTy]

Another nice win for the Bulls last night (despite facing the Detroit pistons). Might have been an easy win but one that was needed to get them to where they are trying to go. But tonight’s the real task. I am kind of surprised to see that the Bulls are -1.5 point favorites. I wonder if either Kyrie or Harden are planning on playing this evening? Either way despite being a late game I’m excited to see it !

But Bucks have it's own problems as well, they've lost to the Hornets back to back if I'm not mistaken. And we don't know if they will be complete against the Warriors. And the one lost they got from Hornets is in Fiserv so there is a chance that the Warriors can steal one here specially if Klay and Curry (Splash Brothers) are going to connect early.

He should be traded if he wished to move. It's not healthy if he will play unhappily.

Let's see if how things will work between these two teams, talent wise between Collins and Simmons. Both are 2-way players
not sure about Harris if he's willing to jump or if Sixers will accept that kind of trade, still a rumor till the signing of papers
has been done.

As far as players willing they have no choice unless they have a no trade clause in their contracts.  I don't the the specifics but contracts have to match to unless there are trade exceptions.  Simmons and Harris for John Collins doesn't work.  Think that's giving to much from the sixers side anyway.  Collins is a nice piece but he isn't going to move the needle for sixers if they have to part with Tobias as well.

Chicago Bulls are currently good on their system. Why like to add a role player when there's no room available yet?

Bulls are already complete from PG to Center and no need for an additional main star. If Ben Simmons will be traded there, it's like the Bulls find a reason for their fall. He is currently not fit with the Bulls unless the team is doing a major revamp.

Simmons will be fine at Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks need to get him.

Bulls right now are in the right rhythm and they still managed to preserve the number 1 spot in the Eastern Conference with their current rosters. They are sufficient right now and don't need to add anyone to their team. because it's not all about the skill but the chemistry and how they played right now is the crucial factor to win every game. No matter how good the players are when put inside the court without chemistry, they will play selfishly and always throw some contested shots which will result in their loss.

Exactly! Now isn't the right time to assess a new player on the Chicago Bulls especially when the regular season is already halfway through the playoffs. The Chicago Bulls is already a tough team to beat and one of the most skilled team with the an unquestionable good chemistry in the league right now that's why they are placed in the #1 spot on the ECF.

I think what the Sixers want is for their future, include Tobias Harris in a trade then they are going to clear salary cap for next year and will result for them to acquire another piece, (it was rumoured that they are targeting James Harden next year).

so right now, it doesn't make any sense for them to include Harris for a trade. But it could really works for them in the future.

And here we are. There is a great game tonight which is going to be Chicago Bulls - Brooklyn Nets. Bulls are leading their conference and Nets are following them right behind in the standings. Bulls' recent form is better now as they lost only once in their last five games. And these teams played against each other two times already in this season. And Bulls defeated them home and away both. But this time Nets have Irving too. Maybe they can have their revenge.

It is indeed a highly anticipated game. Brooklyn Nets will probably not have Harden though due to a hyperextended left knee injury. And I also think Kyrie Irving's contribution is questionable after all the things happened to him. He was a great player but I don't think he can be at his 100% anymore. And Bulls are doing good these days. If Nets are without Harden, Bulls seem to me like the team to bet on.

Durant alone could not beat the Bulls, they are the hottest team in the East now, they are winning games and they are beating good teams and Nets would not be an exception here. Bulls have their big 3 in this game, Nets only have a big one, so we know which team will win already.

[jaberwock]

Honestly I did not expected the team to get this better. Bulls definitely looking like one of the best teams in the league. One of the weirdest things that I see from these big changes is the additions suddenly becoming like old self.

For example, Suns weren't a great team, then CP3 joined, now remember the same CP3 did not do so much amazing stuff at Houston, and now he was on Suns and he suddenly became such a great player again and brought the team to a whole new level. We have Bulls with Derozan, dude wasn't this great with Spurs, I am a spurs fan and I know it, he was good, but not this great and suddenly he is amazing again like toronto days here. Quite difficult to see stuff, but amazing to watch.
