If you get Durant, you become the favorites to win the Championship.  

If Boston gets Durant, they become the favorites to win and you waste another 2 years of Embiid's prime.

 

Just like the Nets were the favorites the last two years to win it, right?  How'd that work out for them?

It would be so hard to root for that guy. He may have taken Lebron's spot as most annoying NBA player after the nonsense he's pulled this summer. 

This summer?  He's been this way FOREVER.  

kd is an epic ahole....but we're a 2nd round losing team with very little change from last season's roster. you add the ahole if you can get him since he's a difference maker and still a top 5 guy. maxey is good but nowhere near kd's level...not even close. of course injuries are a worry with every team. jojo gets injured every playoffs & harden had a bad hammy all season long. 

maxey smiles & is a hard worker...super likeable player. i'd be sad to see him gone but a championship would help cheer me up.

I dont think Tatum and Durant would mesh well together.

Idk heard people say that with brown and Tatum. Heck to start last year there were rumors to trade brown cause they couldn’t co-exist but then they made the finals and currently have the best odds to win the nba title. I think they would be fine. I think the bigger issue is Boston’s window becomes two years instead of maybe 5 to 6 years with how young Tatum and Brown are. However I was told that there’s a good chance that Jaylen Brown is going to test free agency and could leave Boston. It’s a major concern with Jaylen Brown. That’s why Boston is more willing to take that chance with Kevin Durant.

If Boston is willing to part with Jaylen Brown is he worth going after and who would we have to give up? Would we be willing to give up Maxey? Does Harris plus filler do it?

Nope, not giving up Maxey. Don’t think Boston would take Harris but I’d obviously be thrilled to make that swap. 

Take it for what it’s worth. At least it gives us sixers stuff to talk about until the season starts  

 

Remember when we were gonna get Lebron because Simmons worked out with him. Pepperidge Farms remembers

Oh this won’t happen cause the sixers don’t have a package good enough. But i don’t think harden ever hated KD or vice versa. I think his issues were with kyrie. And now i think KD has the same problems with kyrie.

That's what KD gets for being a follower... Followed the wrong guy and he should have to deal with it.

Oh i agree. It was dumb he wanted to team up with kyrie. Besides being a drama Queen, he is unreliable to play year to year. He’s played in over 60 games in about half of his nba seasons and he missed a huge portion of his only college season.

We don't have much of a bench now.

It's not great but Melton and House being guys 6 and 7 is way better than 6 and 7 being Kormaz, Thybulle/Milton.

Not sure how Maxey and Harris is enough.

thybulle is rumored to be in there as well.  but still, i agree..not enough. especially with the nets already owning a few sixers' picks. why would they give philly kd to make those pics worse?

Agreed.  The only way the Sixers have enough to trade for him is if he were to submarine his trade value by demanding to go only to the Sixers and force his way here but with the length of time left on his contract and his age, I don't think he has the leverage to pull that off even if he wanted to.

He has zero leverage after signing his extension recently and if I'm the Nets I take the athletic wing over the small guard. 

To me the sleeper team should be the Nuggets.

Durant is about to pull a Simmons

Once considered unlikely, it's now believed Durant is heading towards holding out if he's not traded. Many believed Durant's love of basketball would have him in camp, but his insistence that he be traded now seems to be leading towards a holdout.
