May 19, 20232 yr The most likely scenario is they re sign Harden to 3/110 or some dumb number, they sign Nurse, he runs Harden and Embiid into the ground, and another 2nd round exit. Embiid asks for a trade next summer and stuck with Harden. All because Mr. Analytics doesn't realize he has a strong bias for Harden, when the whole point of analytics is supposed to take out biases.

If going to blow it up, Tucker might not be a bad guy to keep around for 11 million the next two years. You see teams like the Rockets with no vets and it's a crap show. Tucker would teach the young kids how to be professionals and compete.

May 20, 20232 yr 14 minutes ago, DaEagles4Life said: It is Friday night so will assume you are drunk of high. Well it's probably the best the 76ers can offer the Trail Blazers (minus potential draft pick compensation) trying to pair him with Embiid, barring a Harden S&T. There are other teams out there that have more desirable assets in terms of draft picks and young players, which makes it less likely that Portland sends Dame to Philly.

Mazz is really not a great coach. His only adjustment that entire sixers series was inserting Williams into the starting lineup. Doc and sixers had no answers to that lineup. also supposedly jaylen brown re-injured his hand in game 7 vs. sixers late in the game when it was already decided.

May 20, 20232 yr @Khani1 I think it is time to admit Jimmy is a playoff alpha They f'ing Heat lost in the first play in game vs the Hawks and were down to the Bulls and now 2- 0 in the ECF. This is truly next level what is happening.

May 20, 20232 yr At the 5:50 mark, SAS is right on the money with this take. Hopefully the team hires the best candidate available and doesn't just default to Mike D'Antoni because of the ties to Harden and Morey.

Nah if Harden stays then embiid stays problem is the rest of the roster as usual. But Nurse would be a big upgrade

I see Maxey as the best player on the team, it would be silly to get rid of him so of course, the Sixers will get rid of him, that organization is run by dumb sheets.

When they caught Rivers at halftime at one the games and they asked him what they needed to do in the second half and Rivers replied " we have to keep running our offense". I thought, what offense, all you do is play a two man game between Embiid and Harden. What he was saying is get a coach in here that knows basketball is more than a two man game.
May 21, 20232 yr If Harden goes to Houston, do you still roll with Embiid and whoever you can get with the MLE to fill out the roster for another go under a new HC, or do you sell high on Embiid and commit to a rebuild with young players? I've seen mock trade proposals with the Trail Blazers for their #3 overall pick, Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe, and Jusuf Nurkic, in exchange for Joel Embiid. That's not a bad haul since you're guaranteed either Scoot Henderson or Braxton Miller in a draft class that has 3 elite prospects and a big drop off afterwards, with 2024 not projected to be a strong draft class in comparison. One caveat to the 2024 draft is that Bronny James will probably declare after 1 year at USC and whoever drafts him would benefit not so much from getting Bronny but landing LeBron (assuming he's a man of his word based on previous comments made about wanting to play with his son for a year). For what it's worth, the Sixers still have their 2024 draft picks.

Its a pipe dream scenairo based on nothing. In reality, the actual reports seem to indicate Portland is looking for a wing in a trade centered around Simons and #3.
