Celtics could keep brown. they’d have to unload like smart, white and theis and likely picks in order to pull it off. 

So still no lead guard that can run an offense. Did they not watch their own Finals?

It's reported now that if you're a GM that hasn't received a call from the 6ers about Thybulle and the 23rd pick, your phone must be off. 6ers doing everything they can to trade them. 

Seems they want to create the space to receive the full MLE to offer that ridiculous contract to Tucker.

Thybulle isn't going to develop and needs to go.  But trading 2 young prospects to sign a 38yo declining role player is bad business. 

Thybulle and the pick should only be traded for someone up and coming,  or an established role player way younger than 38.

 

If Tucker is the best they can do for 23 and Thybulle, I’d rather just do nothing.

pj tucker is beyond washed...but it sounds like something the sixers would do.

well, 23 won't be playable right away...if ever. and thybulle is unplayable in the playoffs because he's a huge negative on offense. i'm not thrilled with tucker either but he does sort of fill a need of being a tougher wing, decent defender & rebounder,  & can knock down the occasional three...old as sheet though. 

i'm glad to hear them mentioned as being in the mix for guys like tucker, gordon, & beal because this team needs some major roster changes if they're ever going to seriously compete while embiid is still in his prime. 

With the obvious caveat of these are rumors and we should wait to see what actually happens, giving that contract to any 37 year old role player is not a good idea, especially if you are dumping what few trade assets you have to clear cap space to do it. 

Maybe I'm just scarred by too many years of bad leadership with this franchise, but this does feel like a very Sixers thing to do.  Go get players that would have been good fits back when they were still viable players but instead overpaying for them when they are on the downside of their careers, ala Chris Webber.

I actually thought last year they should’ve tried to be in the Lonzo ball sweepstakes. But at this point the odds that were put out say if beal leaves Washington they are the favorite. I’m guessing they rather take the chance with beal then whatever points are available this offseason

Curious to see what they get back in that type of deal and Harris at least based of their Pompey story gets his wish about a bigger role in the offense. Sadly not winning crap in Okc

Hardy makes sense if the wings are depleted

They desperately need bench scoring, looks like he could provide that.

I didn't realize he was as old as he is. I thought we'd get him on the MLE. I hate the idea of a year year deal.

i'd be ok with braun at 23.

Probably get the most frustrating player in all of basketball, Darius Beazley. 

I really like that backcourt of SGA and Giddy. They never let them play because they are always tanking. 

I'm curious what team this year really tries to tank for Victor next year. Reports of Thunder wanting Chet because he is more of a project than the other two and still have a chance next year. To me, Wizards are in prime position to trade Beal and tank for Victor and Scoot Henderson is another great player in 2023

If OKC absorbs the Harris contract, would that be a move for us to afford someone like Beal?

With Oklahoma City’s cap space significantly reduced by JaMychal Green’s arrival, we can probably put any Harris trade speculation on pause, at least until the new league begins on July 1 and some cap space opens up for a handful of other teams

Not unexpected. Devil will be in the details.

Would take him as a small ball 5 and energy guy off the bench
