So what's the starting 5 now?

Harden

Maxey

Harris

Thybulle

Embiid? 

I'd think Green keeps starting for shooting, but Thybulle probably closes out games if we have a lead.

Harden / Maxey / Green / Harris / Embiid

Don't fall in love with a back up big that shouldn't get more than 12 minutes in the playoffs

How did it go when he was off the court last year vs Atlanta? Not a huge deal but they need one.

The buyout market will have options.

Its time to focus on whats important.

that HE was talking out his ass again

Darryl Morey came in as a huge offseason acquisition. The star GM. And after over a year,  his big move was to get us a 33 year old, declining, malcontent scorer.

Big deal. 

 

I think the value was pretty fair.  I think Harden will help the offense.  

It's great to get rid of Ben.

There were better deals to be had.  This is very temporarily exciting.  There will be a price to pay.  Everyone will hate this trade soon enough. 

 

If Morey is worth his salt, his job is only beginning.  He now needs to find a way to plug holes on this depth chart.  And how to regain optionally with this team in the future as Harden falls off a cliff in a year or 2.

If this team comes up short this year again,  what other moves are left to be made to improve? He's got to figure that out.

Looks about right to me barring a crazy last-minute deal for an unforeseen, starting quality player that supplants one of those names.

He also has an hour. We will see.

I could see that - with Matisse still getting more minutes than Green.

That’s about it. Need to bring on a backup center to replace Drummond, hopefully someone decent in the buyout market. Could still use another backup guard.

Have to think you could get Robin Lopez

You rest Maxey and Harden at different times in the playoffs and both run the point 

Surprised Eric Gordon hasn't been traded.

millsap is pretty washed at this point so hopefully morey has toweled off and is on the phones looking for a big. 

Patty Mills would have been a lot nicer.

Yeah but even before the trade they needed another guard off the bench. Unless you anticipate Shake to come back from what seems like a never ending injury to give you productive minutes

25 minutes ago, nipples said:

Now we need to see what they do for buyouts, because they absolutely need a Drummond replacement. 

Dragic, and Thompson would be great.

What a great age to pay a super max.  Yay!!

Doc would never do it because he is old school but you let Embiid run the offense for a few minutes a game. 

@barho   I can send you instructions on how to quote a post so you can smack talk properly.  Let me know.  
 

😂

Suns gave away Smith

 

 

I would think or next move to try to begin re-stocking some assets so this team can recover from aging superstars in the future would be to trade Harris for someone decent, and picks.

It doesnt have to happen this year. But maybe this summer when his contract is looking a little more attractive. Someone like Grant and a 1st would be a good start. 

Whats the story with embiids tweet??

they have no Center other than Embiid.

Milsap can get minutes there for the time being.

Making sure his hater is dead.

This is gonna really be something.... Harden will seek a new contract this offseason as he becomes eligible for a five-year, $269 million deal. 

With that contract and Embiids, I dont see how they can keep Harris beyond next year.
