76ers 2023-24 Season Thread Part 2

[GuideDog]

I think Alex Caruso is play for the Sixers. He shoots over 41% from 3. Defends and can play some point. He would be an improvement over Melton in the starting line up. He doesn't need the ball in his hands much to be effective, unlike Murray. He's only 29. Got great playoff experience and makes just 9M a year.

We can offer Furkan, Springer, a 1st and 2 second round picks for him.

Bruce Brown only shoots 32% from 3. Caruso is the best fit for this team.

Maybe we can absorb lonzo’s contract as an incentive for the bulls to give us what we want? Then deduct it to our cap space and still be left with around $40m?

[76ciology]

Bulls:
Marcus Morris
Robert Covington
Paul Reed
$10M expiring (kork and house)
2nd rounders

Sixers:
Derozan
Caruso
Drummond

Miles Bridges, lol. Morey will cause the city to burn down and it won't be because of a championship.

I think its gonna be Bridges. He’s gonna treat his stint for our team as an try-out for his next contract. If he ever help us win deep in the playoffs, his sins might be washed away from the eyes of the GMs.

Mikyal Bridges would cost all our picks and then some. I rather aim for Caruso and then maybe move Roco, KJ Martin and a pick for Dorian Finney Smith.

Imagine having Reed- DFS- Oubre- Melton & Beverly as our second 5. On nights when Tobias or Batum are ineffective, you can have DFS finish games. Caruso with his size, defense and shooting would be a great compliment to Maxey in the backcourt

Yea, but from an analytics standpoint, he’s not even good this year. He’s just scoring a lot on a trash team. Is it worth the headache?

I dont read any news about Bridges being a headache with his team. He’s charged with probation with no jail time. He’s a low risk and high reward player for us right now.

Stats wise, he’s been a top 100 RAPM player. efficient scorer in his last 3 seasons and is more of an average defender that can be a good rebounder who can block shots. He might be our “aaron gordon” who can shoot, finish and maybe defend wings.

[the_process]

Miles Bridges is like Paul Reed in that he can veto any trade for the rest of this year.

He's extremely unlikely to accept a trade anywhere because then he loses his Bird Rights. So it's a moot point thankfully.

Bulls:
Marcus Morris
Robert Covington
Paul Reed
$10M expiring (kork and house)
2nd rounders

Sixers:
Derozan
Caruso
Drummond

I would absolutely love to get Caruso and get Drummond back. But why in the world would the Bulls gut their team for expirings, Reed, and 2nd rounders? Caruso on his own should cost at least a 1st rounder, and right now Drummond might not be super cheap either.

If Drummond could be had for a 2nd rounder or two, we should do that and rest Joel more during the regular season.

Bad PR hit.

the Hornets who no one cares about can take it...a contender can't.

Rozier to the Miami Heat for Lowry and a first-round pick

[Stanford]

How do the Heat always have firsts to trade

Oh sorry, i forgot to add Lonzo there.

Do you think Bulls would do it in order to unload Lonzo’s contract and 2nd rounders?

[76ciology]

Buyout Lowry then sign with Sixers?

[Stanford]

Trade Maxey for Lowry

[Negrodamus]

Great move by the Heat. Would have been interesting in Rozier for us but him and Maxey are too small of a backcourt.

[zaz102]

Any interest in Lowry as a buy out candidate?

I would say no since Melton is better and I oddly enough, I think I trust Pat Bev in the backup role more than Lowry.

I mean Hornets are extending him 5 years anyway so I doubt he team cares about bird rights. He’s playing on a qualifying offer and on the trade block. His market is already sunk. Might as well go to a winner. Offseasons of rapping and drugs gonna end his career tho if he doesn’t get it together.

Seems washed. Already undersized. Dont see what he offers that Beverly doesn’t but for vet minimum I’d take more leadership. Already has a relationship with Nurse. More interest in GH buyout. His BBIQ is Batum level. I’d take that gladly for 15 mins when Tobias takes his rest. Maybe that small role will keep him healthy lol

Can he play together with Maxey?
If not, can he play together with Pat Bev?
If not, ... leave him
