PG to GSW

Jimmy to Philly

Wiggins, Kuminga, salary filler, Picks to miami
Since Jimmy wanted to play for GS, unlike PG, GS would just offer the same package directly to Miami for Jimmy Lol

Sometimes it's good to think before making trade suggestions unless you can give us one reason why GS would choose PG over Playoff Jimmy?

Suns get hammered again, this time in Charlotte. Luckily they got to play us!

I cant believe Nick Nurse is a worse coach than Rivers and Brett Brown, but he is.

This is the worst Sixers offense that i have seen since the process days.

It's likely too late. There may be 5 teams that don't even get to 14 wins this season, and no way they out tank Portland and Brooklyn that have similar records.


If Embiid and PG are out, and Nurse starts playing around with lineups... 3-12 is an easy task and would bring the Sixers to 17-32 at just before the deadline. They're already eighth, a 3-12 run should drop them a couple spots.

Then hold a deadline fire sale and find a way to sit Maxey for the rest of the year. 20-62 is still achievable and would have them as a bottom six team.

This would be preferable to the Phoenix Suns East approach where they maybe limp to .500 and a play-in berth, where maybe they win a couple games and get in the playoffs before getting destroyed in the 1st round by an actual contender.



My opinion is they probably needed a top 4 seed, as if anybody jumps up in the lottery, it would give them like 2 chances to maintain the pick. Being at 6 or even 5 is too sketchy to tank for. Typically someone jumps up
