76ers 2023-24 Season Thread Part 3

I'll take Siakam over George in any circumstance. I don't think he's a bad fit at all, Nurse knows his game inside out, the non-Embiid minutes issue could be solved to a great degree, and we don't have to worry about him spending most of his max contract time here on the DL.

If Paul George stays, how would everyone feel if Morey pursued Siakam? I know in the past some here have been against it, because of lack of fit with Embiid, but overall even though he's not a great 3 point shooter, it's not terrible and has a good mid ranged game. But I think most importantly, he's the type of guy in the playoffs where if Maxey or Embiid are having a bad night and you need another guy to step up, he's absolutely very capable of getting you 30+. I think that is valuable.

Siakam has absolutely killed Milwaukee so far, so that bodes well even with Giannis out. He was the third guy on a championship team too. It's still not optimal. But better than nothing?

I will be shocked if Indiana lets Siakam leave. They will give him a 5-year max if that's what it takes.

Seems like Brandon Ingram might be the most gettable 3rd guy in the offseason. Trey Murphy is ready for a bigger role & Ingram is just not a long-term fit on that roster.

I think George is a slightly better player currently and a far better fit, but Siakam would be far less risky from an age and injury perspective. It's close. I think I'd actually lean towards Pascal, but would be ecstatic to get either honestly. Getting a 2 way forward with playmaking ability for free? Yeah, sign me up.

A Siakam max would fix a lot of problems for this team (rebounding, playmaking, blks + stls, Embiid injury insurance).


1) Siakam max
2) Remaining cap space (~$25 mil) on Oubre, Batum, and Melton
3) Room exception on Kyle Anderson (or another forward)
4) Reed + picks for Caruso
5) Lowry and Drummond for vet mins


Maxey/Lowry
Caruso/Melton
Oubre/Batum
Siakam/Anderson
Embiid/Drummond
