why the nets do this...
oook i know kyrie threatened to retire if he gets traded by i think he would make an exeption if he gets traded to a contender, and the nets need defence like their the best offensive team ever possibly but they need defence while still havong offence so they get thybull and simmons for kyrie and picks, ben simmons was 2nd din defensive plaer of the year votes he could play the sf or pf or pg position and defend all 5 positions, he dosent need to score cus they have durant and harden and other pieces like patty mills, cam thomas, blake griffin, la, and others to help score. thybull is probably a top 10-15 defender in the leauge who could play a big role defensivly on the nets at thw wing position. the nets also trade joe harri sand a second for myles turner who could play the c position and he is a top 5 defender in the leauge to so the nets become on eof the worst defensive teams to a top 10 defensive team.
Lineup: Ben simmons, james harden, thybull, KD, myles turner
bench: cam thomas, patty mills, blake griffin, LA, bruce brown
why the 76ers do this...
the 76ers do this because they have been trying to trade simmons, the nets could give a great package for simmons, kyrie should be enogh but the nets would decline so they give thybul and get some 2nds. kyrie would help the 76ers offensivly BIG TIME, the 76ers have been pretty bad offesivly but defensivly they have been GREAT so irving could focus on scoring along with embiid, thwy could form a Deadly duo. the 76ers also trade for tj warren, who can score from all3 levels. people forget that warren was playing VERY well in the bubble before he got hurt, he dropped a 50 bomb and was a elite scorer. the 76ers might decline this though u can make an argument that they wount trade thybull cus he is a part of their young core, and they want to compete for years to come and kyrie dosent fit that time scale but if 76ers decide to win now then this is a perfect trade for them.
lineup: kyrie, danny green, tj warren, tobias harris, joel embiid.
bench: seth curry, shake miltion, maxey, andre drummond, etc
why the pacers do this: the pacers have been lokking to trade turner and there are some rumors of a swap between harris and turner so the pacers ask for some 2nds cus if they didnt the nets would fleec them and get 2 young players for down the road.
Lineup: brogdan, levert, harris, sabonis, TBD
so is this a fair trade???
