I am in no way attached to Thybulle.  But you don't give him,  or Drummond in this deal 

Curry and/or Philly hating Danny Green can go. And getting back Mills is awesome. But no reason to give any young prospects to a team with no leverage. Or, our only backup center.

I actually got his autograph down in Tucson. He was watching his nieces basketball game (she played at Oregon). So I went at half time and told him we got moved out to Arizona because my dad was in the Air Force. But we haven’t missed a game and we love him (was the offseason he has his acl repaired). And he just looked at me with disgust when I told him all this and so I just quickly asked him for an autograph and left.

This doesn't surprise me. I've met several eagles and most are really great guys. Brian Dawkins for example, is insanely nice. Sometimes you can just kind of tell form how they carry themselves.

I feel like 80% confident this will get done. And Maxey will not be part of it. 

I tend to believe Woj who says the 2 sides aren't even talking. We will make a boring move for a backup PG, and that's about it. 

gws2 is back    

I'm back all!
I am a big Woj fan but i'm 99.9% sure he is not right and the teams are negotiating. No Maxey, probably no Thybulle. Still not confident a deal gets done b/c Nets are not budging at the moment.

 

Sixers insider from real gm is back...

just from what i have heard, Nets are not moving off their high asking price. Source expects that to drop a bit tomorrow but i think this will roll into the offseason.

Met Dawk in 2018 with my brother. I was in town for the Eagles/Panthers game where they gave him his hall of fame ring. I had won a charity auction for a tour of Novacare, pre-game field passes, seats to the game, etc. They put us up at the Courtyard at the Navy Yard (poor style), and we walked in and saw Dawk and his wife eating breakfast. I didn't want to bother him, but my brother is a huge fan so we went over and...he couldn't have been nicer. Talked to us for a few minutes (his wife was really nice) and insisted on taking a picture. Great dude.

more from him..

 

I have heard the Tobias to OKC chatter but sounds like that is just to pressure Nets.

Problem is they have very few trade chips to update the guard/wing position.

if Harden deal does not get done, i would just expect a small deal like George Hill last year.

Setting up for a big summer where they will dump Tobias and trade Ben/sign Harden.

But this time it’ll be different 

I dont know how a deal can get done if the Nets even think its close enough to ask for what theyve reportedly asked for. I would think they are so far away from reality that they wont agree by tomorrow.

I hope Daryl will pivot to something else rather than let another team play him right up till the final buzzer and lose. 

 

And, the pivot better not be trading Harris for trash. Because last year we thought we were getting Lowry. And when we didnt we thought he would want to sign here in the Summer. And then, he didnt.  That can happen with Harden. 

Id look to trade Harris for Grant. So if you are left without Harden, at least you traded Harris for something decent. Grant will be a 20M expiring contract to move in the summer. Thats doable if we need to move it to make room for Harden.

I dont know how Morey can sell the fans on weakening the team before the deadline when he could have had so many deals done to strengthen the team by now.

so does ben sit out for the entire season?  imagine the reaction if he actually does report back to the sixers in order to get paid. now that would be a sheetshow!

I’m for it just to see the crowd relentlessly boo the crap out of him 

if this is really the offer, you have to do it.  I think that’s as high as I’d go but I would probably do that.

That's way too much for me.  Drummond will be useful in the playoffs and we can still win regular season games with him, while Embiid is out.  They can have Ben and Curry or Ben and Tisse, either deal can have another lesser player and/or a pick.  But that is way too much.

I’d do it if thybulle wasn’t in it. If i wait til the offseason if i get to keep thybulle in acquiring harden. Imo i think harden is coming one way or the other cause he and morey love each other. My belief is it makes more sense for both the nets and sixers that it goes down in the offseason.

 I get not wanting to waste a year of embiid’s prime however i think keeping assets like thybulle around embiid with getting harden in the offseason helps more long term than making the trade now and losing thybulle.

I’m surprised the nets don’t want green as they can flip him this offseason as an expiring contract and get some help that way.

Almost 24 hours still to go. They've gone from completely unavailable to this already. Just keep waiting them out and moving them lower. 

No need to agree until the end since Harden has made clear he only wants Philly.

Why do you have to do it? Harden doesn't get the 76ers over the line without depth around them. Let them eat it and have him walk for nothing.

See I’m ok with Thybulle going, but I need to keep Drummond unless they have a secondary deal to bring in a backup center

I rather not give up thybulle knowing this offseason I’m not going to have to give him up as the nets lose leverage as the sixers could just trade Harris and then deal Simmons (somewhere else besides the nets that has cap space— bodner) to just outright sign harden. Frankly i hate wasting a year of embiid’s career but I’d hate not having thybulle as a trade asset (to use if need be down the road) and piece for this team for the rest of embiid and harden’s time here. 

i hate losing Drummond as well. Frankly I’d do a curry, Simmons and green deal or walk away til the offseason. Dislike losing curry but after next year he is 33 and needs a new contract after next year.  Im not paying him the money he likely commands. He’s great now cause of his pricetag and prime the next 2 maybe 3 years. I’m surprised the nets don’t want green as a trade chip next year as an expiring contract. I think harden wants to reunite with morey now but this offseason it makes more sense. Based of Lowe, shams and bill simmons talk about that relationship that’s why harden wants to be here so badly. Probably go to buffets and strip clubs together. Lol.

No that's a bad trade

Simmons + Curry or Green + 1st round pick. I'd prefer they take Green, but I can lose Curry if need be. That or we sign him in the summer for nothing. That should be the message to Brooklyn. 

It's kinda hysterical -- Windhorst is clearly getting info from Harden's camp, while Woj is parroting the Nets front office.
