And it just becomes a better version of what the Lakers have.

not sure what rock you crawled out of but the Sixers just hired the best GM to become available in years, the guy who paved the way for Hinkie and his ability to fleece other teams in trades. This GM is the third most exciting guy affiliated with this entire organization right now behind Embiid and Simmons. If you are all doom and gloom over this guy and this current situation this team is in I dont know what to tell ya. Go cheer for underperforming Wentz and the **** Eagles that are going backwards.

i wouldnt say he's the best gm for this team yet until he actually does something, if he does nothing let talent go to our division rivals, then no matter what he does, we are not going anywhere. you really think that james harden going to the nets with kyrie and durant doesnt scare you then i dont know what rock have you been hiding under.

there's only so much you can control though. If Morey is offering Simmons for Harden which I think he would and I would do, the Rockets should take that offer over the Nets. But if Harden already decided he wants to go play with Durant and Kyrie then its a wrap. It's a players league and there has always been backdoor conversations for these guys to get to where they want to go. Make no mistake about it, if he ends up in BKN it is bc of that, not bc of Morey being incompetent.

Gws knows embiid or someone in his camp

the current guy is actually gws2....i believe the original gws knew one of the trainers or something. 

gws2 bomb:

AH4BH? Discussions ongoing. Wasn't close last night but they are trying to convince Kings. Picks may be involved as well. Nothing new on the Simmons for Harden front. Not getting the sense Sixers are looking to trade Ben right now

 

 

that's horford for hield, btw.

i'd hate to give up pick 21 but it might take that to get rid of horford.

then there's no point in keeping these players if it's going to lead us to nowhere, the previous fo screwed this rebuild and let good players go, it's time to admit to rebuild this team.

chris paul to the suns per woj.

 

Now, 11 months later, Nelson is the newly-minted Assistant General Manager of the Blue Coats. He will also serve as a 76ers scout. "I hope I didn’t say too many bad things,” Nelson said with a laugh. Nelson is not far removed from his own playing days. He last suited up in an NBA game in the spring of 2018. The 38-year-old Chester, PA native and former National Player of the Year at Saint Joseph’s University holds 14 seasons’ worth of NBA playing experience. In 878 career games, the bulk of which were played with the Orlando Magic, he averaged 11.3 points and 5.1 assists.

Go get Rubio 

Adrian Wojnarowski

The deal sends Chris Paul and Abdel Nader to the Suns for Kelly Oubre, Ricky Rubio, Ty Jerome, Jalen Lecque and a 2022 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Vin fosh actually said this last night but I figured he's full of chips.

Paul and Booker is a nice back court. 

We need Rubio. Go get him.

How does he help us? He takes the ball out of Simmons hands. 

gws says we never discussed Chris Paul.

A little interesting considering the close connections we have in the staff now.

But they got quite a bit for him.  I wouldn't have wanted that deal anyway.

this would actually annoy me a little bit and damper some of my Morey hype... my biggest fear this offseason was Elton getting fleeced yet again having to attach a bunch of assets to Horford to get him outta here. I was hoping maybe some Morey magic would give us a shot at holding onto that pick and also moving him.

Probably Kyrie not liking the idea of  Harden going to Brooklyn. And if thats the case, they should trade Kyrie and go with Harden and Durant. Cause at least Harden stays healthy. Kyrie is unreliable.

 

Imo kyrie is the most overrated player in the league. Don’t get me wrong he is good when he plays. Problem is dating back to his days at Duke he’s missed major parts of seasons nearly every other year in the league. He also thinks he’s a top tier player when he’s an all star but the 2nd or 3rd guy on a championship team. I dislike harden in big games but i much prefer him over kyrie. At least he’s out there every night

I’d do that to get rid of horford. Frankly i think the prospect you get in the early 30s could be as good of a player as you get at 21. If you really love someone in that range could package your two high 2nd rounders to someone in that range who’s trying to trade away the pick.

Been rumors from some of the radio guys out here for a couple days that Paul was going to the Suns. Trying to keep Booker happy and they were trying to unload oubre when his value was high. According to them the reason it took a couple days was about getting the money to match and coming to an agreement on the protected first rounder
