I think it’s probably that deal plus them taking Tobias’ contract too but I'm more optimistic something gets done before the deadline than I have been.

Morey said this on 97.5 

so basically

I think people will end up loving Haliburton and move Maxey to 6th man and let him go wild with the 2nd unit

I loved haliburton the year he came out. I still can’t believe he fell to the kings at 12. Was ridiculous cause i thought he was better than some of the guys who went before him.

Teams love to find flaws instead of what they do well. 

For S’s and G’s..

Haliburton/Maxey

Hield/Curry

Green/Korkmaz

Barnes/Niang

Embiid/Drummond

How far does this team go?

That roster, plus the picks, plus getting rid of Harris' contract...really can't ask for more than that.

I'm also don't think Thybulle is part of the deal so he starts because you added two 38-40% 3p shooters

ECF and defeated to the Heat or Bucks

You think the Heat get to ECF? I don’t know about that one.

Have you seen them play recently? That is a really good team and they just got Bam back. 

They are now tied for 1st in the East.

Here's the only problem.....remember how deep Atlanta was last year, it seemed like they had good player after good player.....and they lost to Milwaukee who had The Greek Freak, Middleton and Holiday.....

I do like the trade above but does that win a championship?  I don't see it......I liked what Morey said, basically why get a bunch of pieces that only slightly moves your chances of winning a bit forward which ruins seasons coming up, or wait until the offseason (tossing this one aside) and getting a Superstar (Beal, Lillard, Harden) and with Embid, be one of the favorites?  

This is a superstar league, without multiple on your team, yes you can be competitive, yes you can win.....just not a championship.

To me the difference is Hawks had a lot of guys that were the same age and same position. They still thinking about that next deal.

Where Buddy and Barnes are 29 already and having played in a dumpster fire for a few years they might just care about winning. 

Barnes and Green are expirings next year at a combined 28 million so they have some cap flexibility as well.

I don't disagree and if they throw in 2 firsts it is a good/very good deal.  I just don't know it gets us that championship.

Embiid keeps this up, anything is really possible.

The nice thing about that deal is is that in the off-season you have Harrison Barnes as an expiring contract at 18.3 million. So you could still do a sign and trade to get another piece in here. Plus you a contract like hield to match salary as well as to try and make it work. 

And if you do it before the deadline, you have time to flip one of those contracts plus picks or young players for someone else in a smaller trade if there is someone worth acquiring.

Shake Milton for a Cory Joseph type. A guy that isn't special but can run an offense

What? Spolestra is the best coach in the league, they are deep as crap, can shoot the 3 ball, Herro is a 6th man of the year candidate, got two vets that want to win more than anything, and Bam who is special. 

The Heat are legit contender.

And Danny Green at 10 million

Also a good point. i think morey’s goal is somehow getting James harden this offseason. 

Oh wow I hate Simmons even more now. 

Wouldn't it be a pisser if the Sixers never trade Simmons before the end of the season AND wind up winning the title?

Stole this one from a website
