They don’t have the assets to do much. #TrustTheProcess idk...i have those thoughts too...and then i realize they have that tobi money to spend and the guys they're trying to replace aren't very good....old lowry, old batum, oubre, melton, etc.

Batum can get the bi-annual exception which could be a raise from his minimum deal. Oubre can get the mid-level exception which would be a huge raise from his vet min deal. None of that dips into our salary cap dollars. Melton can go. With his injury only keep him off he is willing to take a 1 year prove it deal for the minimum. They don't really have to lose much of those better bench guys at all. Paul Reed will likely finally be gone and that's a good thing.

Andy Reid sold out with the Chiefs winning championships with bad character players and people in Philly still love Andy. They'll get over it if we can win with Bridges on the roster.
June 19, 20241 yr Off the board and why it's never a bad idea to use resources to get a guy you want instead of hoping you can sign him
June 19, 20241 yr I still think the Knicks are gonna match any offer he gets. But i do think it’d be funny if he bolted.

June 19, 20241 yr We already heard reports speculating that this would be the case. But considering teams are now allowed to agree to contracts with their own players, this report may have some meaning behind it. Of course, we might not see these moves made official until after the 6ers do their outside free agent signings. But seeing this re-iterated may mean that these are basically already done deals.
June 20, 20241 yr GM's will overthink Holmes and not take him. Holmes is a really good player and will be on a roster for the next 10 years. A tad on the shorter size at 6'9" but has a 7'1" and he is an elite shot blocker. His upside is Jarrett Allen with more offensive game and downside is Gafford. Anything after pick 15, that is a win in my book.

I thought OG would be a great rental but, as a max deal no way. Has an extensive injury history which means he will end up on the sixers lol

June 20, 20241 yr Author i don't think many of us here will be too disappointed if PG signs somewhere else.

But he's been pegged as the teams #1 target for months now. If they miss, they'll be deserving of criticism. Continuing to employ a fraud GM who has also lost the trust of players around the league is quite a strategy.

After hearing him talk, I think we are better off without that loser mentality. Doesn’t care about a ring, injury prone, old and a year or 2 from washed. We realistic fans have to start thinking about life after Joel. If they trade him in a year or 2, PG’s contract is gonna waste a lot of cap space and won’t allow us to completely bottom out either (to rebuild around Maxey).
June 20, 20241 yr I feel like Ingram is becoming the most likely result of the offseason. The "big" names feel like long shots and it feels like they will ultimately end up settling for Ingram.

The rest of the "big” names are old and overpaid. Lebron won’t come here. Ingram might be the best of the bunch or someone like Murray. At least those guys match Maxey’s timeline.

We dont really have any players to trade. So theyll likely be asking for a package of picks. Which will probably be more than what Ingram is worth. From our perspective the most Id be willing to do is a Tobi sign and trade.

Agreed on the asking price. I laughed when I read that offer even before I saw that Houston rejected it. I've been too busy to do much research on the offseason but I'd like to look at the impacts to NO's cap with us taking Ingram into our cap space without having to return salary vs them doing a deal where they have to take salary back. If it's advantageous enough to them to take him in with no salary back, it may actually drive down the compensation they would want back in return for Ingram. Getting him cheaper and hanging on to enough draft capital to make a future move in season might be the best outcome we can hope for at this point.
June 20, 20241 yr If I had to rank my preference: 1. Markkanen 2. OG 3. Miles Bridges 4. Butler 5. Ingram 6. PG
