I think they ship Ben in the off season and build the bench and see what Doc can do with a better lineup. While I think Doc's coaching performance in this series is a fireworthy offense, I doubt they do it. @HazletonEagleis the cap guy but looks like Sixers are already 12 million over the cap but not in the tax so will get the mid lvl which is 9.7 million or so. Not a ton to work with, but got Hill as an expiring at another 10 million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEagles4Life Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Dinwiddie, Powell, Hardaway Jr., DeRozen, Monk Are FA, but they don't have the cap space for any of these guys that can create own shot at the wings. Maybe Will Barton but not really a shot creator. If someone mentions Victor Oladipo you should be banned from this thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking our MLE this year was somewhere under 6M But we do have that horford trade exception as well... And possibly George Hill can match about 10M for us in a trade but that's still unclear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell is gonna opt out of his contract at 11 mil so that’s also unlikely. Derozan is gonna want one last payday I made the post last night of trades with both Harris and Simmons to clear space for 22-23 offseason or have a bunch of expiring contracts that offseason. However i don’t See the sixers going that route since they are limited with time with embiid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin O’Connor discussed this in a podcast. The blazers don’t really want to trade him and are willing to cater to his choice for head coach and power in the choice. The rumor is he wants Billups or Kidd. I don’t think it’s a given he just demands out if he gets the coach he wants. Now at the trade deadline or next offseason can totally see that if it again isn’t working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get a coach that is modern and plays with pace it would work. I would just play small and run big men off the court. We see it with the Clippers have done with Rudy.

The clippers have better shooters and talent to make that work than Zion and Simmons are going to have out on the floor to make that work. Ben can’t shoot and Zion isn’t there yet as a consistent shooter. He’s shot 29 percent this year from 3. Granted only took .6 threes per game but that tells you he like Ben has to make his living currently at the hoop or inside the paint which will get clogged up since Simmons refuses to shoot. The Pelicans if they deal ingram really have no one on that team that’s a shooter. Bledsoe 34% from three, NAW 34%, ball is leaving, hart 32%and Marshall 34%. You’d basically have to surround them with shooters. Not impossible but even then you are seeing with the sixers in the end Simmons is still Simmons I’m guessing the pelicans could get a better package and fit then Simmons.

Grayson Allen's are not that hard to find compared to 10 years ago If I am Simmons I would want to play in that type of space. Make him Draymond Green and run. He and Embiid were NEVER going to work and said it for years. Both need an open paint to operate most efficiently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget they also dealt Butler away in a sign and trade for Richardson who was not worth it except the managed to pull curry from dallas and really not very good for Dallas this year. At the time Harris was traded here I said this, when Jerry west calls you wanting to deal a player you have to ask yourself why? West has one of the best basketball minds of this generation and built multiple dynasties. So if he doesn’t think Harris is good enough for a championship team you probably shouldn’t make that move.
