Now, if his offense is developing, he may even make Melton expendable for the right return. I hope he gets to Melton's level this year, but I'm thinking he's more of a replacement for Shake. Hope I'm wrong and he keeps developing more, though. He did surprise me a bit with how he played down the stretch last year when they were sitting starters.
June 24, 20232 yr I'm trying to remember the basketball analyst who said that he wouldn't be surprised if Jaden Springer ended up being a better pro than Suggs out of Gonzaga. I feel like it was Andy Katzs or someone like that. If that turns out to be true, that would be quite the steal considering how highly touted and drafted Suggs was.

June 24, 20232 yr Lol the suns literally have nothing and would have to find a 3 team deal for ayton to go somewhere. They are gonna get Fed in 2024-25 where they give ayton away for nothing or be over the second apron with 4 guys

June 25, 20232 yr Pompey says Suns want Harris and want a 3rd team to take Ayton and send assets to Philly. I would hope they don't think Harris and Ayton have the save value. I'd like the Suns to send us assets as well. Not just the 3rd team.

June 25, 20232 yr 9 hours ago, HazletonEagle said: How about Payne? he has been bleh since that finals run. Suns fans out here would love to get rid of him. He’s an expiring 6.5 mil at the end of the year though. Want nothing from the suns. Frankly the suns are gonna need off load ayton cause 24-25 season he, beal, kd and Booker making $185 mil and over the second apron. I think teams know this so no one is giving the suns anything of great value. Also think it is bs a couple days ago when they said they just want to keep him and have no desire to deal him. I think they don’t really have a choice as the packages being offer aren’t all that good for a player who quit in the playoffs two years in a row, has 3 years at $102 mil left and plays center. It’s why the nets didn’t want him in a KD trade. Even if the suns didn’t match the offer sheet and willing to let him leave last offseason, the only team highly interested at the price he wanted was Indy (rumored no longer interested in him). Assuming pompey isn’t full of crap, suns want to get rid of ayton as he has 3 years left on the contract and Harris is an expiring contract they can deal him at the deadline for depth or he comes off the books at year’s end and they aren’t over the second apron so they’d have at least some flexibility to add some pieces in 24-25 offseason if they don’t win this year. That’s why it would make sense that the suns would prefer trading ayton for Harris or just depth that have expiring deals
June 25, 20232 yr Not saying this is right or wrong, but I could see the Sixers holding onto Tobias Harris until the trade deadline. There is a factor that right now teams believe they can win and be competitive. At the deadline there might be a team that realizes they’re not going anywhere and they want to blow it up. At that point Tobias Harris being an expiring contract and coming off the books that off-season they might be more willing to give you better pieces to try snd get them off their books and clear cap space going forward. also think they might look at it this way, unless they get something that they think puts them over the top or makes them significantly better then they might rather go into the season with Nick nurse and the roster they have. see where they are at coming up to the deadline. Because they likely believe they’ll be similar packages to the ones they don’t like now if they have to make a move.

Wasn't it the 30thof this month before teams have to look at the cap differently? I think you posted that information.
June 25, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, HazletonEagle said: Don't forget that deadline though. Wasn't it the 30thof this month before teams have to look at the cap differently? I think you posted that information. New cba goes into effect on July 1st. Any trade after July 1 can only take back 110% if you are over first or second apron. I don’t believe the sixers are at either apron right now. But could change depending on what goes down the next week taxpaying team can take back 125% of the outgoing salary, plus $100K. Starting in 2023/24, that will be reduced to 110% for teams over either the first or the second tax apron, and in ’24/25, that will be cut back to 100% on the suns wanting Harris (if true), like Pompey pointed out the suns want a deal done before July 1st due to new rules with the second apron. Suns are already in the first apron so it affects them in a trade after July 1st so they would really like to get it done before. An added wrinkle when ayton signed his offer sheet and suns matched, he has a full NTC until July 15th 2023. So if the suns try to ship him somewhere in a 3 team trade he doesn’t want to go to he can say no and then suns forced to trade him under new cba rules after July 1st.

What if they start out strong, Harris is averaging his normal 18ppg, and they want to run it thru the seasonnand playoffs? Is a risk they lose him for nothing which would ultimately put the final nail in thr coffin on this team
June 25, 20232 yr Tobi's dad said the 6ers misused Harris. He was an assassin scorer and the 6ers of him in the corner.

Is a risk they lose him for nothing which would ultimately put the final nail in thr coffin on this team What’s considered starting out strong? Up until the deadline? It’s a risk. I think you’d have to be honest with what the team is at the deadline to decide to keep or trade him. I’m guessing they could do a sign and trade to get something for him next offseason when he leaves. Frankly not a great ending. If i were the sixers i wouldn’t give harden more than 2 years in the extension. Harris leaves clears his money and you have an expiring harden contract to dangle. They’ll sign maxey to his rookie extension in a way similar to what they did with Simmons where they were able to still have flexibility/money to acquire and add with harden’s expiring contract and tobias off the books. Hopefully if that’s the case that it wouldn’t be a dumb move like horford. Also hopefully the sixers aren’t stupid and give harden 3 years don’t get me wrong. I think they could move him from now to the start of the season. I just think there is a definite possibility that they viewed the way that I proposed it. I don’t think they are just going to settle on a package they don’t perceive is good right now and are willing to wait cause they think those type of packages will be there at the deadline anyway
June 25, 20232 yr really feels like Morey is gonna do what he did with Simmons and let it play out hoping something pops up he thinks is good like what happened with harden.

However morey wanted a "all star” player and wasn’t dealing him til he did. So in his mind it worked out. Everyone else realizes they should’ve taken haliburton, Barnes/hield and picks.
