It's been rumored he was going to Dallas for a while.  He and Doncic are tight from playing together in the Olympics.

yep.  and if not dallas, possibly back to the heat. i've read that he's a miami guy....lives there & has been working out there.

I think Mavs are out with getting Dinwiddie and not trading Brunson. 

I think Dragic can definitely play and is still better than most backup guards in the NBA. I thought the Heat could have beaten the Lakers in the bubble 2 years ago if he didn't tear his plantar fascia. 

[Pompey] Paul Reed and Jaden Springer have been recalled from the Delaware Blue Coats and will be with the Sixers tonight's game vs. the OKCThunder.

 

 

I wonder if teams start trying to avoid certain playoff matchups because in the 2nd round a variation of the Bucks, Nets, Sixers will have to play each other. 

I also see Morey firing Doc if he doesn't make it to the Finals.

makes sense. would've been weird for him to opt in without even having met his new coach & teammates.   

For those of you who love Maxey and expect another few jumps in his game over the next couple years (this should be everybody), think of the timeline like this.  In a couple years, Maxey will just be starting to hit his prime and assuming his game keeps elevating, we will be in good shape.  Embiid and Harden will not completely fall off a cliff within a couple years.  They can both still be top 30 players.  If we can somehow find one more young guy who can play with them, we are set for the next 4 years.

Well that sucks

The Sixers need to find that next young explosive player at the 3 position.....or a couple of them for that matter......you know, like Bridges......

Yep.  Basically a rental now.

If that's the case,  you got the Nets to take Ben's salary for Curry (maybe not interested in resigning him either), Drummond ( a vet min playet) and 2 1sts.

At worst it's a cap clearing deal. Can trade Harris in the summer and should have max space available. 

A little Facebook buzz about Redick coming out of retirement to run some DHOs with Embiid, and I guess try to replace Currys shooting and lack of D.

Kid? He's 31.....🤣

The Process worked..... We went from being the worst team in the NBA to a perennial contender with an MVP caliber player. 

Hinkie's whole philosophy was to accumulate assets so you can either draft or trade for a superstar. 

We were able to do both 

He's 31. I'm a couple months removed from 50 which makes him a kid to me. The process worked to an extend, however, it still hasn't achieved an NBA Championship, or even an appearance in the finals. It's been 20 years since we made an appearance and 40 since we won (give or take a year in both cases).

I think he has moved on to podcasting and battling Screamin A on First Take.

We haven't even made it to the ECF let alone the Finals

He did have his podcast while he was still playing.  But who knows. 

His big draw to come here was Brett brown. He never played here under Doc. Will Doc even run those DHOs for him? That was a different offense.

If that's the case it's basically a win this year or trade the guy. I guess they get to see how he plays with Embiid and if they don't win they shouldn't offer him a 5 year contract this summer unless they want to get stuck with someone on the decline in cap hell with no firsts. Simmons as a cap dump doesn't fly with me though. They could have taken a longer term approach if that was the case.

Now morey just needs to can doc and promote cassell

[Dave Early] Already reported by @KyleNeubeck that James Harden is not expected to play this weekend, a source indicates the 10-time All-Star could even sit out the final four games before All-Star break, in order to let his left hamstring tightness resolve.
