I said at the time it was dumb because Harden would only be here a short time and we needed to get multiple younger guys to put around Embiid. The Harden blow up boys got all defensive, saying we didn’t trade for Harden without having a long term deal in mind. Now the proposition of signing Harden to 2-3 additional years seems to be an even worse idea. Dare I say Harden seems to have Hamstrung us. Boom! At this point the sixers should let harden play on his option or give him the option and a 1 year extension. Reason on the option pus a year is that is entering 23-24 offseason they’d have harden and Harris as expiring contracts to use in making a deal or they could just let both walk at the end of year and have a ton of cap space. Problem with just letting both walk is you swing and miss and likely wasting 2 of the best years of embiid’s prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a smaller SF but they need his shooting. I’d offer thybulle, green (whatever to make it work money wise) and 23 but I’m guessing they get a better offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Im not doing that again, nor have I ever. You are projecting that on me. What I am saying is, with the cards he has been dealt, he can be doing much better. Im just worried about what he is doing now. I know those guys Fd up his deck of cards. But we can only judge him on the opportunities he has had. Not the opportunities we wish he had. So far, the opportunities he has, with the cards he has been dealt, are still being squandered. Hes been just as bad as the F up GMs who came before him.

Hes been just as bad as the F up GMs who came before him. His opportunities like not being forced to give up one of his future first rounders due to having to deal horford due to past mistake. That hurt some of his ability. That’s a pick that could’ve been used to make a better trade to acquire a player you would’ve liked. Any GM who took over had to do that. ive Never said he couldn’t have done better. Definitely could’ve. However the deck of cards he was dealt and any GM who took over was not ideal. The harden trade was bad. Should’ve taken haliburton and hield. That’s his biggest blunder unless harden somehow turns it around He also got seth curry for Richardson. That seemed like a pretty good trade for us. Danny green due to poor decisions prior was the 5th best player on this team at his age and they desperately needed him to have success which is due to poor management from before. I’d add we were pretty happy with Drummond before dealing him. The harden trade is where he Fed up so far. And maybe springer who they took a chance on at 28 which according to bodner and Hoffman on their last podcast said they were desperately trying to deal before the draft and no one wanted the pick via trade.

Its time to grade him. We already know the other guys sucked. Im not grading him on not having the assets the other guys had. Im grading him on what he has done. Bad.

HazletonEagle Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 looking at ESPNs BPA as if it were a prediction of who will be available for us, we can be looking at Kessler, Terry, Hardy, Jovic, and LaRavia still on the board. They dont have McGowens anywhere in thenext 25, but Id add him to that list too. It looks good. Can Terry be another D Murray as he develops some scoring? big jump up for Jalen Williams.

He had to give up a future first just to get horford gone which also limited his cap flexibility. Like one of those players you covet that you want to trade for, they could’ve gone after and maybe gotten if he wasn’t forced to make that deal. Which any GM who’s taken over would’ve had to do. That’s not an excuse that’s a reality the sixers had to accept and live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 A thybulle and 23 trade to move up would be ok now. Griffin a big time shooter at SF, or Branham would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I supposed Morey will be more interested in acquiring old, oft injured Gordon, instead of a nice young player like Branham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Even if Branham doesnt make it all the way to us, Dalen Terry, Jovic, LaRavia, and McGowens all still there you cant really ask to be sitting prettier. Their guy Hardy is still there too. Of course he would be my last choice on that list. Very glad Tari is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Bulls taking Terry. Which is ok with me. Wouldnt have minded the upside pick but with PJ 0 points Tucker on the court, not a lot of room for another non-scorer on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Amazed and ecstatic- Branham Excitement- Jovic, McGowens, LaRavia Moderate enthusiasm- Tyty, EJ Liddell Cautious optimism- Hardy Those are my tiers of preferences now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
