Drummond to Nets

[Hi-Low]

Yahooooo!! Once Durant comes back puts Nets back in the mix for Eastern Conference and Drummond a nice playoff run.



Now we need to get Kemba to a contender....

Great opportunity for him! He’s been putting up good numbers playing limited minutes behind Embiid.

 

[bendm]

just picked him up in my fantasy league. he should get a lot more PT now that he's competing with aldridge instead of embiid.

Wow...Philly must have really wanted Simmons gone. They gave up 3 players and two first-round draft picks!

I've had him all along....stashed him for the ocasional game when Embid off. When Drummond plays real mins guaranteed 15 rebounds

Was Harden's hamstring consulted about this trade?

Now back in his home metro area - Andre needs to get in the kind of shape he was in during his Piston run. He needs to get back to the grind and less social stuff. Advice to a friend.

"Friends" like these?

Drummond in house tonight

Andre will be in the house tonight. I hope he gets a great UConn welcome from the fans. Who says UConn doesn't do Bigs?

I think the Nets got a lot, but the pundits say the Sixer are the clear winners.

Hope Dre gets that ring and a big contract somewhere next year

Will be interesting to watch Embid and Drummond battle downlow in the playoffs. Hasn't been a good matchup for Drummond in the past.

It is going to be hilarious when Ben Simmons pulls up on the fast break and splashes a 25 footer.

Embid is a bad match up for almost every center in the NBA.

Obviously Harden's stock is still high! Pretty pricey for sure!

When you consider the Nets gave up 3 # 1 picks, 4 players and switching #1 picks in 4 years to get Harden last year it doesn’t seem like that much.IMO.

Do we think this is more about the Nets getting rid of Harden, and getting good pieces and pics for him; rather than actually wanting Simmons? Idk how any team could want him.

Making the best of their situation. I’m sure Marks put out feelers for players he’d rather have.

He was an MVP candidate before he got hurt last year. Those first round picks are going to be pretty bad too.

He single handedly tanked their playoff run last year with his shooting woes. They weren’t gonna let that happen again.

Sixers picks should be worse than Nets based on how they r playing this year He’s still a great player and has a few top years left IMO

I think the Nets saw Dre and two first round draft picks. Simmons was just a toy surprise in their Crackerjack box.

Nets seem like winners. They got 3 good players and two high picks. Harden is 32. The Sixers need to assemble a great team pronto.

 

[TRest]

The other day on espn radio one of the guest analysts was warning that Harden wants a max 5 year contract next, which will be quite a gamble as he ages and continues to bloat.

Well look at it this way: Nets went from Harden to Simmons (and others), while the Sixers went from nothing to Harden. At the start of the day, the Nets were contenders and the Sixers really weren't, and now they both are.

Both sides won, it wasn't zero sum, but the Sixers were the bigger winner.

The 76ers just nursed Drummond back to being a good productive player. Then they trade him to a loaded team that they may face in the playoffs. Interesting
