July 7, 20232 yr Author defense is overrated. denver just won a championship with that turnstile jokic manning the middle.

I'm more interested in players who can take the scoring load off embiid because he's already exhausted carrying the whole offense against double and triple teams all night. He can much more easily stand under the basket and protect the rim if we had some scorers here.
July 7, 20232 yr Author the team would be a lot better off with embiid scoring in the low 20's & someone else picking up the scoring slack. let embiid use some of his energy on d & rebounding.
July 7, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, mr_hunt said: harrell is beyond washed. i'm not really understanding this one unless it's to make harden happy in hopes he'll stay. It's got to be a move to appease Harden, right? Nothing else makes sense. I hate it either way but if they legit brought him back without a tie to the Harden situation, that would be f'n depressing.

Miami can deal 2027 and 2029 firsts and swaps in 28 and 30. I’m guessing brooklyn would be ok giving up 2025 suns 1st ans suns likely still good by that draft so it’s in the mid-late 20s and likely that sixers 1st in 2027 as it has protections on it so it might not actually convert.

July 7, 20232 yr What if the Lillard only wants to go to Miami narrative is something put out by his agent in an attempt to gain leverage? The Blazers have made it known they don't want Tyler Herro's big contract and are reportedly focused on draft picks, young players on affordable contracts, expiring deals. The Sixers publicly have made it known that they consider Tyrese Maxey untouchable, and are requesting very high returns for Harden and Harris in trade negotiations, but haven't explicitly ruled out trading either. The Clippers are reportedly interested in trading for James Harden to pair with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and apparently both players are okay with the idea of Harden joining them. Could this 3 way trade work for all parties involved?

July 7, 20232 yr Refresh my memory. Was the Simmons to the Spurs deal for 2 players and 2 first round picks? Im reading this on facebook (and it said one of those picks became 1st overall) and Im just wondering if we could have had Murray, and Wemby right now. Murray, Maxey, ?, Wemby, Embiid. what?

The kawhi package was the year we lost to the raptors and there were rumors galore about Brett brown and kawhi. It was Simmons, Saric, i believe the pick where we drafted maxey if we got it and a couple other picks. In hindsight could’ve potentially pulled off a Simmons and stuff for kawhi and butler trade that year.

The Murray trade would have given a PG of the future, who just signed a max contract and is a franchise player. And if the facebook post was correct about the 2 1st round picks one of which became #1 overall, we might have Wembanyama right now too.

But if you traded for kawhi and butler then you’d have likely have a better chance at keeping butler as Simmons would’ve been gone so that aspect wouldn’t have been in play.
