That's sort of the point though. No one can give you a tangible move because no one has any clue what would have been available.


I think we have enough hind sight to play what if. Philly clearly wanted to hit the reset button and Jrue would have been eventually traded anyway. I'm sure any other teams wanting to make similar moves at the time has already gone in that direction, and that's the type of partner it would take to turn our rebuild assets into reload assets.

I'm also not sure why people can't disagree or be skeptical.


They can, but you have to be the sort that agrees to disagree like you do, not say "Brandon Jennings + Noel + Wiggins > Jrue. Fire Demps!" This was actually aimed at Bill Simmons and the national media that make snap judgements based on cliff notes more than anyone on this board.

my primary gripe with the holiday trade was the cost...I'm coming around on jrue but he is not worth 2 top 10 picks either in concept or reality.

If sixers wouldn't budge off their price then we should have shopped elsewhere. He was not the only traceable young vet out there

Fair enough. We'll debating this for a while.
