While our offense would be more potent with that lineup, our defensive and rebounding woes would be even worse than they are already. Who would be our starting 3 and 4 after that trade?


C - Embiid (34) / Reed (14) / Bassey (when needed)
F - ??? (30) / Niang (18) / ???
F - KCP (28) / Green (20) / ???
G - Beal (32) / Maxey (16) / Joe (when needed)
G - Harden (32) / Maxey (16) / Springer (when needed)

I have no idea who can be that PF that bombs threes and is elite at defense and rebounding and is athletic ala prime PJ Tucker (he’s a free agent BTW) and is good with Harden.


Hence why I'd rather have Kuzma than KCP even though it would probably take another pick to get it done. However that would leave us with a hole at the 3 spot. Maybe sign a ring chaser for the vet minimum?

I like KCP much better then Kuzma for Embiid, Harden, Beal.
Better defender, better three point shooter.

Bring 2020 Lakers championship wings to Philly (Green and KCP).

At PF, well, if we are talking about FA, it’s Covington and Tucker.

Another thing to monitor: we have just 5 players currently on the roster that are here since the date Morey was hired:
Embiid - here to stay
Harris - can be traded for Beal value and salary wise
Thybulle - can be traded for Beal value wise
Milton - still has some value considering his contract
Korkmaz - still has value consindiring his contact and shooting

So, Beal + KCP = Harris + Thybulle + Milton + Korkmaz + every pick we have

Go all-in. Sign Tucker + Covington as FAs. Embiid recruits Covington. Harden recruits Tucker.

Embiid / Reed / Bassey
Covington / Tucker / Niang
KCP / Green / Niang
Beal / Maxey / Joe
Harden / Maxey / Springer

So, welcome to the Sixers. It’s a good business decision.

I love that idea, but one major piece of the puzzle still has to be fixed to make it complete.

PJ has a player option, but if he opted out this is a baller ass team.

If we’re gunning for Bradley, I’d rather just cut ties with Harden. Sign Cov and maybe a Bobby Portis.

Maxey/Shake
Beal/Joe/Springer
KCP/Niang
Covington/Portis
Embiid/Reed/Bassey
always a jump shot away.

It's pretty much moot because barring something extraordinary Harden is here to stay. If Morey gave up that much for a 20 game rental, he should be fired for GM malpractice, but the bottom line is that Harden's his guy and he has tied his legacy here and the near future of the franchise to whatever happens with the Embiid/Harden pairing.

Secondly, that lineup looks to me like a very nice, entertaining, perennial 2nd round exit group, but not a championship team. Portis has found a home in Milwaukee, and it's hard to imagine he would leave there as long as Giannis stays.

This group from above, with the right coach, looks more like a potential title contender.

Give me Kuzma over KCP any day. He has surprisingly good rebounding, 3PA, steal, and block rates. We're in dire need of big, athletic, switchable forwards. We need more than one at that. KCP keeps us small and doesn't help with defense or rebounding.

IF we ended up with a team that has Maxi / Beal / Harden on it... i don't want anyone else in our top 9 players who are under 6-7. We need length and athleticism.
