76 people bid on the eagle and the king! Lakers fans shouted the former abandoned general: You are a million times better than Wei Shao
As trading deadlines approach Feb. 10, the Philadelphia 76ers are less likely to send Ben Simmons in mid-season. According to the US media "The Athletic", the 76ers have bid to the Kings and Eagles, and if they are not successful, they will let Simmons sit on the bench until the end of the season, and then wait until the summer to trade the Nets' James Harden.
Even though Simmons claimed to have mental health problems and had a cover on the court with inaccurate jump shots and poor free throws, he had excellent defensive ability, and Daryl Morey, the president of 76ers basketball, still had no intention of selling him at a reduced price, and the boss agreed that he would drag the case until the summer to deal with it. Morey asked the Kings for two-pack defender Tyrese Haliburton and multiple first-round picks, and the Hawks for big forward John Collins and multiple first-round picks. The Kings rejected the 76ers' offer, and Halliburton would be the central player in their rebuilding plan. The Hawks also want 76er forward Tobias Harris.
Halliburton: Averaging 14 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 44 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the free throws.
Collins: Averaged 17 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2 assists, 43 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the free throw line.
Harris: Averaging 18.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 31 percent from three-point range and 85 percent from the free throws.
Simmons (last season): Averaging 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists per game, no three-pointers, 61 percent free throws.
The 76ers tried to trade Simmons for Harden for the Rockets last season, but Harden ended up selling to the Nets on a four-way deal. At present, Harden and the Nets have not yet renewed their contracts, and at the end of the season, the Nets can "sign and sell" to send him to the 76ers, but the Nets also have the problem of Kyrie Irving to deal with, and Irving and Harden are expected to jump out of contract this summer.
The Lakers visited the Heat yesterday, and Kyle Kuzma, who was used as a trading chip by Los Angeles last summer, also paid attention to the game, posting 3 related posts in a row on his personal Twitter, praising the South Beach army for playing a great "team defense", questioning why the referee gave Avery Bradley an offensive foul in the decisive moment, and then blew P.J. Tucker walking, and there were L.A. fans begging him to come back.
Kuzma, who survived the Anthony Davis trade case, renewed his contract with the Purple And Gold Army for three years in December 2020, but was still traded less than a year later, along with the best sixth man Montrezl Harrell and shooter Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and became Washington's starting force this season, helping the team to make the best start in 47 years.
Kuzma has been concerned about Kuzma's relationship with the Lakers, although he stressed in an interview last September that he only has love for his former owner, "even if he leaves, he is still a family." But when the Purple and Gold Legion lost seven consecutive games from the warm-up to the opener, he forwarded a sarcastic post on his personal IG, "The Lakers without Kuzma are 0-7." ”
It is worth mentioning that many Lakers fans left a message under Kuzma's post, "Come back to Los Angeles, we need your rebounding ability." "This Lakers team needs you." "You're 10 million times better than Russell Westbrook." There were some voices hoping he would return to Los Angeles, but others questioned, "Are you targeting the Lakers?" "Are you qualified to talk about defense?" "Just take care of your team!"
Kuzma once said bluntly about leaving the Lakers to join the Wizards, "Personally, this is what I want." I have a chance not to live in someone's shadow and not get into that kind of stalemate again. ”
