October 31, 20232 yr Just now, Mat said: Without a doubt the best part of this deal is getting out of the Tucker contract. All three of Batum, Morris and RoCo are declining, but they can all hit three point shots and play a bit of defense. Kenyon Martin Jr is the interesting player in the deal, I don't think many of us watched the Rockets so I have no idea if he will be useful. The part of the deal that is good for the Sixers is that they got a 2028 unprotected pick, pick swap, and another first round pick. So now they actually have some assets along with those three players all have expiring contracts. So if somebody becomes available at some point in time this year they can make a trade. Or next off-season they have the assets and available cap space to make a trade with the assets or use the cap to sign guys and still have assets. That’s why this trade never made sense with Norman Powell. That contract prohibited them from making moves next off-season because his contract didn’t expire for another couple of years .

And clearing Tucker's contract off the books will also allow them to make a move in the off-season with the available cap space once those guys all come off the books along with Tobi

October 31, 20232 yr Clippers weren't going anywhere, now they can get there faster. Great day for the Sixers.
October 31, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Mat said: So they think they can get Lavine when Chicago inevitably blows it up Reportedly, they already had trades lined up so let's see if anything hairball pretty quickly.
October 31, 20232 yr What are the starters looking like at the moment? Maxey Melton RoCo Harris Embiid Oubre Pat Bev Reed Batum Morris Springer I assume that will be the rotation? Oubre is excelling coming off the bench and I think RoCo/Batum/Morris all get Tuckers minutes and spell Harris

I also wonder if they try to flip one of Morris, Batum or Roco for more assets. They have a glut of players at the 3/4 between those guys, Martin and Harris.

October 31, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, Blazehound said: The deal keeps getting better and better. We picked up OKC’s unprotected 2026 first: OKC will probably be a pretty good team by then with all the young pieces they have but it is still a nice first to come away with. Clippers one will probably be a lottery pick in 2028

Can the 76ers extend those guys mid season?

October 31, 20232 yr Figures, we get rid of the guy just when he’s back in shape and ready to win the scoring title again.
