I don't know any of these people but doesn't this just sound like an excuse for why they didn't post the scoop? Like "oh yeah I already knew but I was busy and couldn't tell you before it broke"?

No, not this guy.  He is connected.

I don’t think green sucks. He just isn’t the player he was during that raptors title run and with the Spurs. I much rather have green as an expiring contract then horford even if we give up a first this year. Where we are picking at 21 the value from about 18-36 it is close to equal talent. Meaning we likely still get a comparable player i round 30-34 that goes around 21. 

Green is supposed to be an elite shooter, and he plays so few minutes you only get like 1-2 attempts out of him a game and youre lucky if he hits 1 3 for you. Its completely worthless at this point. 

But, the trade is salavaged by the details, PLUS Horford is gone and salary is off the books. So Im good.

Ok no problem. Thanks for the heads up.

I don’t know anything about him. Why pass? 

Skipped out on college to go to New Zealand and he really underwhelmed. Also, doesn't have elite athleticism or a long wing span to make up for it. Just nothing special him to me

Terrance Ferguson has great length.  The form on his shot looks nice and he releases it quickly.  Only 22, maybe there is some upside.

he had major upside in the draft as a great athlete with a nice shot.

Im disappointed hes not developed more than he has. He still occasionally shows flashes.

He may be a better version of Furkan Korkmaz right now. And hopefully he can still develop more.

I was looking forward to him play this year more than anyone. Crossing fingers it is a sprain.

That sucks. I had some relative hopes for him. But kind of makes sense Okc would ask for him 

we lost the opportunity to sign him to a rookie deal, so with our cap situation I dont think we were ever going to be able to bring him over.

That sucks, because I would have loved to see him play here. But reality is that he was a non-entity here by this point.

Certainly one of the best and most likeable players in the league.

Whoever said he was an elite shooter? He’s a solid shooter for most of his career and role player. In fact he’s shooting 40 percent for his career from three and this year he was 37%. He was awful during the playoffs in the bubble and not the same player he was 4-5 years ago but you aren’t asking him to be as big of a role as he was with the Spurs. with the raptors he shot 40 percent from three during the regular season. Do i think he’s great? Hell no. But he is a ok role player for the sixers if he doesn’t get dealt away prior to that.

He's already better on defense.

Hate to do this but apparently there are Noel rumors.  I don't use twitter.  I just see other people mentioning it.  I would love him as a back up.

If Ben stays, I can see him throwing some alley oops to Ferguson with his quickness and jumping ability.

if only the paint werent so packed since ben isnt a preimeter threat. We cant even throw alley oops to embiid. sad.

I’d love to have him back. He can at least play defense when embiid is off the court.

I hope he gets dealt away. hes just an expiring contract to me. Dont care to see him on the court at all.

Vin Fosh was talking about that. Not sure if anyone more legit has it. 

It makes sense with Horford gone. Noel is a better version of Pelle. And can probably be had for the vet min. 

Also, Nerlens posted a pic on twitter in his 6ers uni saying cant wait to be back. People have taken that as a major hint.

Talk properly like you did in the Cvon thread, from 7 until the draft is over.  I dare you!

Neither to be honest.

having him on an expiring contract makes it much more doable if you’re trying to do a trade with a team who’s attempting to get cap space for 2021 off-season. Pretty good FA class. My belief is either you a deal this off-season or at the trade deadline you use them to get a piece back that a team out of contention wants to clear the space to go after somebody in free agency. not sure who that team is. I also don’t think it’s out of the question that you package him and Richardson and pics to get possibly a really good player back
