Just in: Free agent guard Anfernee Simons has agreed to a two-year, $12.3 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, with a player option in second season, sources tell ESPN. Simons chose the 76ers over other suitors believing his fit is perfect with the revamped 76ers roster.
@TatoMavs Literal, tenía mínimo 30 cuentas diciendo que era un robo y era roja clarísima.
Quizás puede ser discutible pero el argumento era que no tenía intención y casi nunca se usa ese argumento.
My thoughts on LA’s moves-
-I like all the players they targeted individually in a vacuum
-I question the fit, especially defensively. They also don’t have a starting level wing, though the roster isn’t finished
-I don’t love the value of any of the deals. Kessler’s contract is about right but would have liked to have sent back Vando to open more flexibility if giving up that much draft capital. Feels like LA paid a ceiling-level price on all 3 of Mamu, Grimes, and Sexton and then added player options on top.
-Did get younger, backcourt offense and center rotation are real strengths. Love Ayton slotted as a reserve, great quality there. Need Kessler to be a top-tier rim protector/rebounder.
-Athleticism is lacking, including lateral quickness on defense.
-For those hoping to see the young guys play more, Redick has basically no choice but to feed minutes immediately to Thiero and perhaps Carr as well both in terms of positional need and due to the above point about athleticism. Great if both pop, at least one doing so is a downright necessity.
-Two roster spots open, keeping an eye on a waive and stretch with Vando to open $ flexibility and one extra spot. Any 3/4 on the market could be sold on stepping into a potential starting role in LA from day 1, though $ and players to spend on are limited.
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
