If Hali miss next season, that is for Indiana IMO.

I don't see Siakam being that good at 33. Maybe i'm wrong

They have still a chance to improve by moving some piece like Mathurin, but they need to build around Hali and Nembhard

Sixers need to figure out a way to steal that Benedict Mathurin kid from Indy. Loved seeing that kinda hustle. Played hard regardless

Damn. Hali Achilles too? So that probably puts him out for the year?

What stupid shortsighted trade is Morey about to make?

Congrats to OKC. I wonder how folks in Seattle feel right now? Sucks for Indy and Hali. Hope it's not too serious. TBH I don't fault them for playing their best player despite him not being 100% healthy in arguably the biggest game in franchise history. Could you imagine the backlash if the Sixers sat Embiid in Game 7 of the Finals?

Just take VJ Edgecomb at #3. Problem solved.

Happy for Sam Presti. 18 years in the making.

I swear that was among my first thoughts when seeing that injury. You know, the "wide open East" and all.

Get ready for #3 to be moved for some win-now piece of pieces.

Totally fine with that as well. I want some Dawgs on this team. Tired of soft play by majority of the guys

Hali´s injury seems like a textbook achilles tear, hope i´m wrong. Atleast he´s a player who doesnt need his athletic abilities that much, so i think he will be fine after his recovery.

I don't know about that. Morey didn't trade Maxey for Lowry back when it would've made more sense to trade a you player for a vet to win now.

That's only because Masai wanted two 1sts along with Maxey (and whatever the salary filler was, don't remember. Tobias maybe?).

Wouldn't you think he would've made some type of win now move along the way then especially when they they were a top team in the East and had no concern of Embiid not playing again?

The only time Morey even traded FRPs while here was to get off Horford who not only was a bad fit but I think the star player loathed. And when Simmons who didn't want to be here and forced their hand and upgraded to Harden.

For better or worse, and I think it can be both sometimes, it feels like Morey is a lot more risk averse than the perception of Morey.

When the pick is Maluach, you all will know why Morey didn’t make a win now move.

At #3? Malpractice.

Better be trading down, then.

All I can say is thank God KD is officially off the table.
