That would be my hope also and like you, I’ll prepare to be disappointed when nothing else happens.

Yeah. Just, as I was saying earlier with Harden on a 3 year deal, and Tucker on a 3 year deal, Harris expires in another 3 years.... it seems like they have set aside this 3 years to do whatever they can to win, now. And then we appear headed for a re-build.

If they are in win now mode in the next 3 years, you cant actually waste a summer with your big move being, spending the entire MLE on PJ Tucker. Theres got to be more. And to me, looking to unload Harris' salary to OKC is an indicator that something more could be coming. Otherwise, you keep a player of his caliber on the roster. You dont salary dump when you are trying to win. You salary dump when you are trying to lose, or you salary dump when you are creating space for something big. We know we arent trying to lose right now, so it seems to mean one thing...

Harris deal expires in 2 years. At the end of 2023-24 season he’s a FA. 

with the above said, if they are trading Thybulle and pick 23 to salary dump, in order to get the full, larger MLE to afford Tucker, then they should be looking for draft picks in the 2025, 2026 range when these 3 year deals expire. We should want to be loaded with cap, and drat picks at that point.

Thats good. Hopefully they arent dumb and they wait the extra year for the other 2 guys to expire too then.

thats good. but I suspect woj is more accurate.

Also, they should trade Thybulle and Green.  Not necessarily for a washed up 37 year old. But they should trade those guys.

I’m guessing they use Harris (if they don’t trade him this offseason) as an expiring contract next offseason.

Agreed.  This reads to me as the Sixers going to their media guys to get a trade posturing message out.  I saw someone from Liberty Ballers repeating the same stance from the Sixers, so that seems even more likely to be the case.

Dont know whats true or not about the trade stuff, but its nice to hear its not Tucker or bust. Though, they really should move those guys to gain access to the full MLE. Even better if its someone other than tucker.

I’m talking purely the nba if it went down. It would make for great tv to have doc, harden/kd feud, embiid and morey. It basically would make a ton of money for nba. For sixers it’s less beneficial  

I wouldn't want to watch any of those effing tools. Except Embiid.

I think bucks would but that’s a good move for Portland and they still got to keep 7th pick

I read that so wrong in that thought Bucks got him lol

Clear what Portland trying to do. Make the franchise look decent to sell it 

All it took was 1 future 1st round pick? wow.

If only we had one we could use…

almost seems like a done deal now. just what we need. Silver coming after us again, for tampering.

 

the realgm guys bring up a good point. 

As I have stated, trading Thybulle and 23 (2 young assets) for the opportnity to use the full MLE on a 37 year old role player is bad business.

But as they are saying- if you just waive Danny Green to get there.... that makes sense.

Then you potentially can trade Thybulle for something else. Maybe keep 23 because McGowans is a nice fit at that point. Or trade them both for some other SF/Wing talent. 

Something to ponder. Embiid said we needed more toughness and specifically mentioned Tucker.

Harden said he would do whatever it takes to help the team add more talent and improve (implying he would take less money to help the teams ability to bring in new players). Is Harden willing to leave money on the table for a guy like Tucker? If I was Harden Id be like, nevermind, give me my money if youre just going to waste it instead.

 

Beal wants Boston. Bogut can not be trusted.

detroit carving out some cap room for tobi!     

[Fischer] The Sixers have called a healthy portion of teams to gauge the value for each of Harris, Green and Thybulle and have called several teams specifically searching for a first-round pick in exchange for Thybulle as part of a three-team deal framework to land an impact veteran rotation player.

You would but you aren’t the majority of nba fans. Most nba fans especially nba Twitter love drama and love when there’s beef especially when it’s out in the open and available to them. Some of the most listened to podcasts and most commented stuff on Twitter is when there’s beef between players aired out. I’d bet that show would have great ratings. 

Draft tonight
