Why can’t any of these multi- team trades have the Sixers getting a perennial all-star superstar, and Ben winding up on some B-league team in Siberia?

So we would loose Tobias, Maxey, Ben, Curry and a ton of draft picks for Beal and Lillard.......yeah, guess I'm in!!  Someone get Morey and Brand on the phone!!

Agree. 

As the roster stands now,  I want Maxey starting. 

But if we make a brogdon trade,  or any PG I want Maxey on the bench trying to replicate what we saw from that unit last night. 

It's ok to still have him off the bench in year 2. I know he's good.  I love him and feel sky high on his potential. But if you can get a PG for those starters,  and then still have that bench unit intact backing them all up,  it's a great team. 

According to some reports the pacers trade isn't good enough for Morey either

Yeah he declined the original Brogdon and 1st. And there's no store star involved.

Why isn't that viable? If Shake can run the first unit then he can run the bench. Seth and Shake are competent enough to run an offense with whatever starters for 20 minutes a game. 

Shake wouldnt run the 1st unit. He would simply be on it. He can handle the ball some. But youd see it in the hands of Seth, and Tobias a ton. Which is why, the starters could potentially get by without him. But he would really downgrade the bench where you lack those options to handle the ball so much. You cant really give it to Thybulle and Niang to hide his deficiency as a lead man.

I thought Maxey had shown real promise last year? 

So Sixers fans... do you think you have no chance at a deep run this year?

So basically have zero lead guards

Doc is the next problem

Shake has been awful shooting from distance. He had that one playoff game that he was hot, otherwise that has been the disappointment in his game over the last 12 months. He has gone from a pretty good 3 point shooter to below average and has developed that hitch in his shot. If he is better shooting from outside than Maxey right now, that's not a good sign for either of them. Or it's Doc trying to make up excuses for his own deficiencies as a coach because it's pretty clear Maxey is more effective than Shake just about everywhere on the court right now

Yes, but he's the next problem they need to throw out the door.

 

 

 

 

This should be fun

What a shitshow.

Would assume they are looking to "get him in camp” to avoid the fines but still keep him off the court and wait for a trade

What a freaking dumb a**

As soon as they realised they're losing money and can't get it back they're looking for a resolution to get him back on the team.

This is why it was the right move to hold off on the trade. It sends a message that they can't just do whatever the F they want. 

He can come back with his tail between his legs and try and increase his value

Honestly...good job by the front office. They didn't cave to Ben and Rich Paul. Ben and Klutch come out of this looking like idiots if he reports after all this, and it only helps repair his trade value some.

If Philly fans were notorious for booing their own players before, just image what they'll say about us after we make Ben cry on the court.

Fing garbage. Every time this team has an opportunity to do the stupidest thing possible, they jump at it.

you dont understand the word distraction, you care more about a getting a star than screwing the locker room up and if he screws this team to tank mode, you are getting nothing from him. you overvalue everything, that's why the sixers wont win anything.

The locker probably could give two poos about him at this point.  The only division in the locker room will be Ben vs team.
