Didn't KD not get along with Hardin?   Is that going to be different in Philly?  

They did. Towards the end it sounded like it wasn't the greatest but how much is that between the two and how much is the whole situation with Irving, the team and Harden wanting to leave? Either way, Harden already opted out, so you could always just not re-sign him.

Eagles' fans should go to these practices instead to boo them.

Wanda, do you have any idea what it's like being English?

Start the regular season early right?  I genuinely wonder how long anyone last booing at their TC.  You could go in disguise wearing a Yankees cap; they'd never see it coming

Or Lakers since they're in California.

You would turn down trading for Durant?

There is that. That scene with Vader at the end of rogue one was excellent.

Yes I would.  Guy's about to be 34, has had a multitude of injuries, including a pretty significant knee injury this last year and is sure to decline sooner than later.  No denying Durant is a top player.  I just don't want to lose Maxey.  He's an ascending, elite player.  If they go for Durant then that's it...they HAVE to win a title.  

Embid is 28, Harden is about to be 33 and Durant would be 34.  All three have injury history which getting older is not going to help.  Then there's the question of those three personalities on the same team and how they would gel.  I just don't like how it looks.  We'd be stuck with three aging, injury prone star capable players with near max contracts and no youth on the team.  You'd be trading away Thybulle, 25, an elite defender and Maxey, 21, a soon to be star in the NBA, plus draft picks so your young core and draft picks to help build the team are gone.  

Who would be left on the team that offers any young promise to build around once the big three want to break up, get injured or just hang them up.

I'm all for moving Harris if possible and Thybulle if the return helps them build a solid, young core.  I don't want an aging team with nothing in the cupboard.  Kind of like the Eagles defensive backfield. 

 

If we trade Maxey for KD I’ll be pissed.

The funny thing is, I have no idea who KD is in real life, other than the name. He could move in next door, and I'd be, alright dude, what do you for work?

I think you'd notice a 6'10" dude

In case you haven't noticed the Sixers are all in on have to win title mode.  Durant helps that tremendously.  You do not turn down getting Kevin Durant over losing Thybulle and Maxey.  This team is not in a spot to be building for the future and create a solid young core.  The team is in a spot to try to win now.
