Myles Turner is out with a stress fracture so you wonder if Pacers still blow it up and trade Sabonis. Might give Sixers more leverage. 

Everything we hear is the Kings desperately want to make the playoffs 

I kind of hope for a 4 team trade with the kings somehow wind up with Barnes (unfortunate but used as a trade piece in offseason), hield, Halliburton and levert from the pacers. Never gonna happen but i can dream.

IMO, this is the worst take I’ve ever seen you make.

We’ve past the point of no return. Get great value or let the cuckold stare at walls while abiding by the terms set forth that allow him to keep collecting a paycheck.

Nah, it’s time to move on from this child. Having role players back in return is better than the nothing they’re getting or will ever get as long as he’s on the roster. 

If we did this Detroit deal, and then traded Harris to SAC would this team really not be a hell of a lot better?

Follow up on my previous post

 

Roster:

Maxey/Curry/Kork

Hield/Thybulle/Green

Barnes/Bey/Thybulle

Grant/Olynek/Niang/Paul

Embiid/Drummond

Yes, but the girls at Delilah's are thrilled and waiting in anticipation!!

I have a burner email that I used in the past for clones and such. Logged into it last night for whatever reason and some a**hat signed it up to the Delilah's mailing list. 

[NBA Central] The Sacramento Kings have stepped up their pursuit of Domantas Sabonis and they are including De’Aaron Fox in those discussions 😳, per @JandersonSacBee (Via https://t.co/65BNY9HqK2)

 

 

[NBA Central] Sacramento has done due diligence on Matisse Thybulle, as well as Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris, per @SeanDeveney (Via https://t.co/nuC5hIHObf) https://t.co/TSlxb3dlfi

They released Aaron Henery and gave Charlie Brown a 2 way contract instead. They seem to like his defense. I wonder if that was done with the forethought that they might include Thybulle in a deadline deal.

 

I see 2 teams, SAC, and IND talking trade, both of whom were interested in a deal with the 6ers. It feels like the perfect time to work a 3 way deal. Both teams want Simmons, but SAC also seems somewhat interested in Harris. If theyre taking Sabonis, and Barnes is not being sent to IND, it makes perfect sense to include a Toby for Barnes + swap as part of that deal. 

6ers havent loved the idea of Fox. But if Fox is going to IND, then maybe LaVert can come here.

It seems we can send Ben to IND, and Harris to SAC, and end up with a package consisting of LeVert, Barnes, and Hield, and a bunch of picks.

We would then have Maxey, Hield, LeVert, Barnes, Embiid as a starting 5. (Still not as good as doing both the Detroit deal, and then a Harris to SAC deal). Pretty good. See how far it takes us this year.

After this year LeVert and Barnes represent about 37 million dollars in expiring contracts. That combined with picks we get could potentially bring us a max contract balla.

 

 

Morey is probably gonna put all eggs in his Harden basket. But I think we should get in on this action right now. 

Kings are determined to make a push for the playoffs so they must get Sabonis or Simmons. 

Reports from Jeremi Grant that he still wants to go a team and be the man, that doesn't work with the Sixers 

grant basically only wants to be traded to a sheety team.

pretty damning report. If I'm a GM considering making a move for him I take him off my list now. You can hang out in DET padding stats forever if that's what you want.

If you can get a 3 way going with Detroit and Sacramento then... Grant can go be the man in SAC. Ben can go with him and still not steal any of Grants spotlight. Either way Ben ends up on a sucky team in Detroit or Sacramento, and Grant gets what he wants too.

 

Here's the tweet 

 

 

well, putting up numbers leads to big $$$ contacts....and it is a job after all.   

This looks like more posturing through the media. I always thought Sacramento was the best chance to move him in season and I definitely think that if they are willing to take Tobi. I’m not sure I see any team offering more than this. If it’s not this, I guess it will be the off-season. 

that's a tough one because statistically, the only thing barnes does better than tobi is shoot threes....and it's basically 1 more made 3 per game difference. tobi has the edge in most other categories...including rebounding where the sixers already struggle. hield shoots threes well...so he would help there.  and we'll see what hali develops into. 

but that trade would kind of make the sixers even smaller.  meh.

I always knew you were crazy but...are you insane?  Barnes, Haliburton and Hield AND TWO FIRST ROUND PICS?   Yes, I would do that in a heartbeat.......do you think Sacramento will ever be good?  As long as they aren't lottery protected....this deal would be fantastic....

yeah, i wasn't really factoring in the 1st round picks.   

is haliburton that good?  i remember him basically doing nothing when the sixers played them.

They would definitely still need a stretch 4 who can rebound and ideally offer some rim protection but at least they will have more draft capital and smaller contracts to move in a separate deal to get one.

That's stupid not to take.  Get it done. 

And still more posturing

 

Don't know if true.  I read on Facebook that Harris has a 5% trade kicker.

So if you guys already hate that contract,  think about that trade kicker when you consider the favor SAC is doing us to include him in this trade.

Spotrac says the trade kicker is the lesser amount of 5% or $5 million.
