Trade Thread (EPISODE VII: Which team wants our bad players for their good players?)

Not sure either team would do it or if I even like it as a GS fan, but the trade that makes sense for both is Draymond for Simmons.

Morey really just throwing anything he can imagine out there right now.
Ridiculous request.
Wiggins + 7 and 14 would already be an overpay.
Add Wiseman and 2 future first?

They are **** delusional. They know we all saw the playoffs, right? Why would we mortgage our future for a negative playoff contributor?

Food for thought: for as much **** as we give Draymond for being a 0 on offense, his FT% last year was nearly 20%(!) better than Ben's. Career for the playoffs? 21% better.

I think Sixers would agree in a deal close to what you suggest. They just ask too much in order to get as more they can

Make that deal Draymond instead of Wiggins and drop Wiseman....I'm good.
Draymond, 7, 14, two future first.

Have Ben run point center/forward....Warriors would be magic on offense and deadly on defense.

You guys are seriously overrating Simmons. This guy is just soft. Didn't improve a lick in 4 years. Probably he doesn't care. Draymond is and will remain the better player, while earning less dollars. I wouldn't do a straight swap. Adding these assets is just insane

Turner makes $18M, so Wiggins wouldn't have to be part of the deal. The Warriors would have to send out $14.4M, so Wiseman, Looney, and a tiny filler would do it. Not saying Indy would do it, but there are combinations that work without Wiggins.

Year prior to Ben Simmons first year with Philly....WITH EMBIID...26-56
The next year WITH Ben Simmons...53-29.

Please please PLEASE explain to me why that happened...other than Ben Simmons? Offensive and defensive rating shot up with him on the team.

I'm not a huge fan of Simmons...but don't over simplify this. He is a flat out uber talented passer and defender...and he's 6-10".

I remember when Landry Shamet was this amazing draft find and a great rotation player.. now traded for a back-end 1st and 9th-10th man

Adding Turner and losing Wiggins sort of keep the Warriors in the same place. That's why for me it would be better to either bring in TJ Warren also OR keep Wiggins.
Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond, Turner is a championship team with zero holes in the lineup. No Wiggins and you lose the guy that can defend other teams best every night.

Might as well not trade for Turner if you move Wiggins and Wiseman IMO. Unless you get back TJ Warren.

It also means Beal is quite possibly on the move, which isnt great for us
