Colin Cowherd: “I am actually surprised by the number of people I respect – media, fans, smart people – that think Brooklyn got the better of the deal. Folks, KD’s current support system includes Kyrie Irving, who is physically available infrequently, and Ben Simmons, who is emotionally available infrequently. They got Andre Drummond, that’s six points a game, Seth Curry, nice rotational piece, and draft picks – completely worthless. KD is also hurt, they have no momentum, and Steve Nash as a head coach -- I don’t know how good he is. When I look at this I think of all the moving pieces that Brooklyn is going to have to put together. You got disgruntled guy, guy that isn’t vaxed and not available, and Ben Simmons was really, really bad the last time we saw him play. He was taking 6 shots per game in a playoff series and shooting 32% from the field. The organization in Brooklyn has no momentum, they’ve lost 10 straight. Now let’s look at Philadelphia. Joel Embiid is happy, the locker room is happy, veteran head coach Doc Rivers who has dealt with multiple stars, they are very close to a no. 1 seed in the East, and they add one piece – a really, really great, all-time, Hall of Fame player that when engaged, and he mostly is, gives you 27 a night. Doesn’t that SOUND more seamless? Folks, go Google Ben Simmons’ stats, they’re flat. He hasn’t developed; he doesn’t want to work on his game. He can’t really shoot, he’s not really engaged, couldn’t get along with the one star he had in Philly who is a pretty funny and joyful guy, and Kyrie isn’t easy to get along with. I think Philadelphia is going to be really good seamlessly fast and won the trade. You know Harden is going to come to Philly and be so appreciative of the room that everyone is vaxed and winning games, and wants to prove it was a ‘Brooklyn thing’. I look at the Brooklyn thing, it’s just a talented mess.” (Full Video Above)
