HazletonEagle Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The Rockets/Morey relationship has killed 2 potential trades for the 76ers. Harden and Paul. At first glance you might think they wont work with the 6ers on a trade. But, I think they would be willing to ship out the worst contract in the NBA to us. And maybe Wall is enough of a name to satiate Morey's appetite for star power in trades. Wall with like 2 years 90 million left... if I was houston and hated philly Id WANT to send him here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its wishful thinking but maybe Wall could resurrect his career on a contending team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be great picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 BTW, Wall makes 44MM compared to Ben's 33MM. The Sixers would have to include at least Curry's salary or make it a bigger deal and include Harris also to make the money work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The TE couldn't be combined with other salaries. If Wall ends up here, I'll hope for the best but it would be sad to think it's come to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prized possession in any hypothetical wall trade would be the draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it worth taking on Wall, you’d have to be getting a very good young player on a cheap contract to make it worth it. Houston doesn’t really have anyone like that on their roster who would fit with the Sixers. I guess they could get someone like that as part of a three team deal where Houston is putting in additional assets to get rid of Wall’s contract and the Sixers use those assets with their own to get this theoretical player from the third team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be some fillers by the Spurs to make it work but that’s 3 really good young players. I said the couple weeks ago I thought it made sense for the spurs. Because if it is any coach has any chance of getting the most out of Simmons it is probably Gregg Popovich. Add on they are not gonna be able to go into free agency and sign some with the potential upside (I’m assuming the Spurs still believe that… not me) that Simmons has. I think that’s why they would try to shoot for the stars and hope popvich can get Ben to reach his ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see these things all the time on Facebook with "BREAKING" and it's some random source abs just somebody's idea for a trade. But, something to discuss hypothetically.

Murray is an elite on ball defender who can give Young, Irving, Harden and others hell. Keldon Johnson is a glue guy as we saw in the Olympics and Walker Is a guy in my opinion until he shows more. I think this gives Morey some ammo to move more pieces for a guy like Buddy. If they can squeeze Devin Vassell instead of Walker would be great. A better shooter to fit alongside Embiid.

DaEagles4Life Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Also believe Murray is going to take another step next year. While his 3 point % was down he shot 80% from the FT for two years in a row which is a massive improvement from 70% the previous two years. He is an elite rebounder for his size at 7 a game last year and the drop off defense wise will be minimal in my opinion. He has some really good game logs from last year and other games where he is inconsistent. To me he a below the rim type athlete but has a 6'10" wingspan at 6'4" to make up for it.
