Now all we have to do is trade Kate Scott for Tom McGinnis and this would be the perfect trade deadline.

Good job on the quote work.  

 

When will the buyout news drop?  In the next couple days?

Is that a good trade overall? I mean I thought Seth Curry was pretty good... I know Harden is one of the better players in the NBA so I get that.

Seth shoots a better 3 point percentage, mostly from catch and shoot opportunities, while Harden is usually around league average on a very high number of attempts that are mostly off the dribble, although his 3 pt % has been down this year so far.  The big difference is the fact that Harden can create his own shots, both from three and going to the hoop, and gives you ball handling and distributing that Curry cannot, as well as additional rebounding.  He also gets to the line at a level that pretty much belongs to only him and Embiid.  Not really a knock on Curry but Harden has been playing at an elite level offensively since he got traded to Houston.  Harden has also historically been better defensively than Curry.  

 

 

Lmao 😂🤣😂

that can get dragged out for weeks. Eventually towards the end of the season there is a deadline for when a player can be bought out and still eligible to play for playoffs or not. I think that comes sometime in the middle of march.

Seth has potential to be very good, but due to covid and whatever else he has slumped very hard for us this year and he is slumping right now. He was like 1-9 shooting last game where we blew a lead to the Suns. Could have won if he was half decent that game. 

Hes 33 and almost due for a new contract. Probably wouldnt be a lot but.... not a huge loss. Theres also only so many shots on offense. Harden will take his shots. You still want Maxey getting opportunities.... its ok to part with him.

Trade seemed pretty even. If the Nets couldnt blackmail us, maybe we could have gotten away with giving less. But they did have some leverage on that. 

6ers got better today.

Long term ramifications are to be determined. Harden will need to be paid, as an old man. But Morey also seems to have just enough assets left for 1 more huge move when the time comes. 

Gary Harris is a potential buy out.  His shooting could be helpful.

Yes please

I love that in the last few days we have gained more memes and inside jokes like

- the Friend's friend who is a friend of Marc Jackson's brother. That guy was legit.

-Vin Fosh called one right. 

- "We are entering the "Deal Zone"" with Windy.

He is good but not great, .388 from 3 with 1.9 makes out of 4.9 attempts.

he seemed like he was going to become a very good player in Denver. Then fell off a cliff. Got traded and hasnt seemed to recover. 

I see he actually is shooting the 3 at 38% this season. So thats maybe not to bad to have on the bench. But.... he just seems like just a guy now.

Yeah I edited my post.  Hit the wrong number originally.

I kind of feel like Furk or Joe can go 1-5 from 3 every game  though, on a bad night. Maybe even Thybulle. And thats his average. Which of those guys loses playing time to him?

Ideally we dont need Furk, or Joe (yet) playing regular rotation minutes. But... Im not sure its worth it to sign Harris.
