Possibility that Harden does not opt in, allowing the 6ers the chance to sign Tucker.

But if he was going to leave money on the table, why the hell would he do that to allow them to sign Tucker, of all people?

If i remember correctly harden and tucker are really good friends

Well he used to be good friends with KD lol 

I guess Woj said this

Which is different these days. Usually these guys get to dictate where they are going. 

So, most of us would probably actually give up Maxey to get Durant. But it wont be enough to beat other offers.

Would anyone be willing to give up Embiid to get Durant? Durant actually plays in the post-season and Embiid does not.

KD going to go ask Ben Simmons for some advice about sitting out an entire year because you don’t want to be with that organization. 

Lol the nets are going to implode this year with pouty Kyrie, KD being irritated by all this and Ben being Ben 

This tweet about kyrie’s quote

 

What a turn of events lol

Pouty Kyrie, who cares attitude of Ben and KD. What could go wrong for the nets next year. Even if they try to trade him now, teams will be hesitant cause he can’t sign an immediate long term extension due to opting in. Meaning you basically have to wait to do it. And with how temperamental Kyrie is and did to cleveland and Boston who’s giving up those assets and hoping that he doesn’t change his mind over a couple of months

He still has a few days to change his mind a few times before any of this is official.

Has til wednesday at 5. But has until June 30th to get an extension with Brooklyn done. However i don’t see brooklyn changing it’s time off of not wanting to give him a max extension like what he’s asking for. Can be traded to any team without hard cap restrictions but issue is he can’t sign an immediate long term extension with his new team due to the opt in. so any team giving up good assets for him has to take him at his word that he will accepted an extension down the road when he can. I’m not trading for kyrie knowing his history

 

Someone needs to kick doc in the nuts every time he doesn’t play joe in a game 

 

NBA off-season is lame most of the rumors are horse sheet. If the sun's give up their depth to pair an often injured Paul with an almost often injured Durant then they are the nets of the west.

Not happening now but they would be giving up Bridges and that about it. Ayton isn't resigning and Cam Johnson is a FA next year. 

At least the Sixers aren't the Knicks. Moved picks and cap space just to sign Brunson. Dude is 3rd maybe 4th best option on a title winner.

Watching for him not to choose them anyway. Just like everyone passed on them last year.

So did Temple…

we got this going for us 

 

Reminder, this is the GM of the Sixers.  FML
 

 

Curious to see if that 3rd year is an option year like green. I’m hoping it is cause at least in 23-24 it would mean tucker can be used as an expiring contract

Jordan played in all 82 games at 38 yrs old on a bum knee and this guy is queefing over a hamstring from 2 yrs ago...... Harden was tired the last 2 years but, yeah better than Jordan. Great players don't take off 2 seasons Morey is a tool

Would seem at that point it would have to be a Harris trade.

Im leaning towards Harden not opting in and just signing a 3 year deal.

I dont think they want to trade guys just to sign Tucker.

Morey is for sure a complete idiot. But he said that back in 2019. Before Harden got tired. 

And it was based on the fact/stat that Harden was a better scorer. I dont remember the exact stat. May have been per game over career. Or points per 100 possessions. Or whatever. But there was a legitimate stat to argue that Harden is the greatest scorer of all time. Emphasis on the very specific wording "scorer". Not best player. Just purely in terms of scoring.
