I think Lowry and DeRozan will both land on same team somewhere.

Simmons and Jaylen Brown swap makes a hella lot of sense for both teams.

Brad Stevens must already be out on Langford and Nesmith. Brought in Josh Richardson to play wing minutes.

So Lowry’s value is an injury prone veteran and a backup 5

Yup. Super.

Ben is the playmaker than compliments Tatum whereas Ben gets Tatum the extra points from opportunistic baskets and transition baskets. Like how Ben compliments Biid.

Then Al can space the floor for Ben. I find that Ben and Al has really good chemistry. Specially with how Al can shoot threes from top of the key. Ben’s quite good at feeding Al on transition 3s via hand off at top of the key.

Simmons
Smart
J-Rich
Tatum
Horford

That’s a very good lineup for Boston all around. And 3 Sixers players from last season lol

Weird that Lowry's trade value would go from Maxey, Thybulle and 2 firsts to Dragic and Precious

I see it as an asking price versus real value

Yeah that's me

Spoiler:
Actually, I have this dude blocked on twitter. Don't know why.

Probably because he's annoying.

Of course that's true. But Tampa fans have been gloating about the non-deal for months. It's just funny to see Tampa's leverage dip far below what they imagined it would be 4 months ago.

Going to LA with the intention of re-signing for a huge contract there is a foolish thought. They are able to get quality player to sign for the minimum.

So Kemba going to Knicks for 8 million after buyout. No free agent will sign with Sixers. At 8 million. I’d take a flyer on Kemba as free agent.

What did i tell you guys about how hard it is to sign these FAs this is why we have like 30 years of record with overpaying mediocre guys.

Anyways, just dont expect FA market to save us. This is why we have to tank. Hopefully guys would join us if we ever become a top team in the league

Isn't Kemba from NY? Probably had something to do with it.

Kyle from philly…went to Miami. M
Morris twins from Philly. They aren’t signing with Philly

Sixers just don’t attract free agents. Unless we over pay them badly. And they are usually just average free agents.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
