GM can stay

he sucks

Supposedly its likely that the Wizards trade Kuzma.

Supposedly he is a lock to become a free agent.

 

I wonder if Shake is enticing enough of a somewhat young player to send Washington.

 

Making salary work, you can add Harrell, Kork, and Springer to the deal.

 

To make it a home run, you just do Shake and Tucker. Then it becomes a nice salary dump for us considering Kuzma is going to be a free agent and you got rid of Tucker's contract.

 

I think Kuzma is a great fit on this team. Would love to find a way to get him even as a half season rental.

You think Shake and Tucker will get you Kuzma? His trade value will be a 1st and a young guy, if not more. Probably the best rental in the league right now.

If Kuzma is a half season rental, as stated, then his trade value shouldnt be all that high. Its not like you are trading for a young piece who will be there long term. Rental drops the price.

I will bet he will command a 1st and a player 

Grizzlies could offer DG, 1st and Roddy. 

But really Shake isn't a young asset anymore, he is 26, and are Shake's on every roster.

meh.... Shake gets a bad wrap because doc doesnt use his players well. Everyone thinks our bench sucks year after year. But any time any of those guys gets an opportunity at extended playing time (except maybe Kork) they play well.

Shake had a hell of a stretch this season very recently. He may have boosted his value. He and Harrell can really boost depth on a team.

Or, if God has mercy,  theyll like PJ Tucker with Shake and save us from that contract. The league loves Tucker.

If you dont think that can work, even though Kuzma is said to be a rental, you can work something around Harris.

Harris and Shake for Kuzma, Barton and some Johnny Davis guy works too. Something like that may be close.

well, theres the letdown game. Guess they got tired of winning. Didnt even make a good team end the streak. Just lay a stinker against the freakin wizards.

Hey at least Embiid scored 48. Wow that was fun!

Luka Doncic is ridiculous. 

Knicks were up 9 with less than a minute left and lost 🤣

Johnny Davis is the worst pick in the draft since Anthony Bennett. 

 

But if I was the Sixers, I would target a guy like John Collins. His 3p number is down but he is a career 36% 3p shooter, doesn't need the ball to be successful, can rim run for Harden, stand in the corner and shoot 3, and play good D. 

Probably would have to find a 3rd team that wants Harris.

Collins doesn't need the ball,  but I think he wants the ball more.  I don't think he'd be happy here at all.

He can take the 4 extra shots Tobias takes a game. I think Embiid would like to play next to Collins. 

If had to bet he is tired of playing next to Trae. He has complained about not playing as a team, instead of individuals

I kinda like the idea of letting Kuzma go better than getting a guy like Collins who you end up committing to long term. Collins has 2 years remaining and a 3rd year player option for about 27M.

This team needs to go for a re-set sooner than later. Collins is a guy who will hamstring that effort with a large contract and isnt really good enough to build around. I dont think you want his 27 million dollar contract 3 years from now with a rebuilding team.

Kuzma strengthens the team for the 2nd half playoff run, and then clears salary off the books when he leaves as a free agent.

But they won't reset as long as they have Embiid, just won't happen. 

So, you want to trade Harris in a 3 team for Kuzma? I tried to get Crowder to Wiz and Harris to the Suns but money doesn't match. 

I could see them getting a PJ Washington type guy for Shake and a 1st but unless some dumb team loves Harris then nothing major happens

Harris is almost an expiring contact.  So they won't need to be dumb to like him.  He's a solid player,  great team guy and can help some team clear a ton of cap,  or re-sign at a more reasonable price.

Teams still have to match the 37 million this year, that isn't exactly easy for a player of his caliber. 

Have to figure Harris gets dealt next yr. If harden walks i dont think Morey will hesitate to rebuild around embiid and maxey

that finish by Maxey on the reverse was awesome.

Lost to a good team.  Shocker.

 

 

Ended the year with a win.

A casual 42 points for Embiid

Isaiah Joe is shooting 44.6% from 3 or 6th best in the league and he had 21 vs the Celtics last night. 

Way to play the young guys Doc
