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.

Yeah i think there’s more of a chance now that harden doesn’t opt in and the sixers give him something like 3 years $112 mil to clear that space (still think the opt in is more likely to happen). I think they’d ideally like to trade Harris to get better pieces or next offseason use him as an expiring contract where he becomes more valuable. 

Looks like Cassell is staying

Kinda has the feel like something big is coming. Dont know if good or bad, but big.

Reminds me of when they were talking about signing Horford but we knew we didnt have money for that. Butler got traded, and JJ Redick was gone right away in free agency.

 

We know we dont have money for 3/30 for Tucker, yet with all the reports, its basically a foregone conclusion. Sounds like deal is done.

You know someone will be gone, like JJ was that year. Could be Thybulle. And you sense a trade is coming. Could it be a big Harris deal?

 

Good or bad, should be very interesting as soon as FA kicks off.

PJ isn’t big enough for you?

Seems most likely Harden opts out, signs a lesser deal clearing cap space and the 76ers sign Tucker to the MLE.  

2 year deal would be great. 3 year deal would be tolerable, but not ideal. Anything over 3 years would be a fireable offense.

I’d bet that 3rd year is an option year like they had with green.  

 

 

 

 

Harden expected to opt out. If he takes a lesser contract to help the team build a contender, gotta give him a lot of respect for that.

He has to be close to 600 million at this point with his Adidas stuff

Still a commendable move if that’s what he does. Shows he’s more hungry for a ring than he is for more money.

Commendable to opt out and get more years which means more money?  Give me a break.  The guy is toast and disappears.  You wanna pat him on the back for that?  Holy F.  What is it with this guy?  Darryl is that you?

Our big offseason move will be a guy who never averaged double digit points his entire career and goes by the name of "Pops Jr”.   Whatever Morey is cooking up, I hope he added some fiber to it.

It’s not the opt out, it’s IF he did it to take a big discount for a few years to free up space. We will see what the deal looks like. Of course he could take $5M per year for the good of the team and you’d still trash him. 

harden is a 76er!

I know exactly what it is.  But he would make more money over the course of a few years then he would over one year.  So to make it sound like he's being charitable is pretty silly.  Nice strawman on the $5M comment.

 

Are you one of those guys who becomes a huge fan of a player just because he's on one of your teams?  Unconditionally?

He knows he wouldn't get a max deal anywhere after that last playoff performance and basically admitted to taking the last 2 yrs off .... It sounds good that he took less but, in reality he took what he was probably going to get else where.

He took less in the short term to get more long term.  Gee, what a saint.

That too. For some that makes up for his 2 shots in 24 minutes as the greatest scorer of all time 🙄

i never liked harden's game...but they tried to acquire him for around 2 years & they're not going to let him walk now that they have him.  if he takes a little less so the team has more flexibility to make other moves, that's about best we can realistically hope for.

It is what it is at this point.  Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.  Never wanted the guy in the first place.  But someone to celebrate him like he’s a hero is pretty mind numbing.

i haven't seen fans celebrating him on here.    i mean...happy when they got him for a spoiled bum who wasn't even playing...sure.  but celebrating him as a hero?  nah.
