Aside from getting an actual star, or finding a team to give you a load of valuable picks and swaps, the best move is keeping Harden and letting him expire. And if he acts like a clown you send him home and let him rot. And if he shows up 300 lbs you slip Ozempic into his IVs.

I don't want to be stuck in cap hell with Lavine. We can argue about if Lavine is better than Harden at this point. I'm going to say that he is. He's not the orchestrator that Harden is on offense, but Lavine is far more explosive. With all that being said, I don't want to do this. As crappy as it sounds, just move Harden for expiring players, and let us keep the focus on Maxey, Embiid, Harris, and the young guns. I mean WTF ever if we do trade for Lavine! I'll still watch, my heart will still bleed Sixers blood, but man...Zach Lavine? I mean why not DD instead?

might as well rebuild if we take on Lavine's contract.

Someone mentioned earlier the bulls are a dark horse in the harden trade.. interesting I mentioned a possible logistics east straight up swap for Harden and Lavine. Demare is hardens best friend and Lavine is a perfect fit for Philadelphia.

Springer throws Rivers under the bus! Nice to finally have a stud coach. Gives me a bit more confidence no matter what happens with the roster.

Zach is not better right now but he fits the timeline of growing up together with Maxey as the future backcourt

Glenn exposed. It's infuriating that he was given three years here.

Players put stuff out about being happy that guys are getting paid

However, it’s only natural that most superstars won’t be happy if they are earning less than far lesser players and their own team doesn’t do everything in their power to put together a winning roster

Lavine spells the end. If Morey wants to kill the franchise with one shot, then bring Lavine in here.

I only hope they wake up by 2024 and realize it's the end instead of dragging it out over a few miserable seasons trying to get to the play-in.

If it's about moving Lavine's contract for cap space next summer why would positional need matter?

I really don't see how a 4-way deal where Sixers move Harden, get Lavine. Heat get Lillard... Actually fits where 4 teams are needed.

I could see Sixers/Bulls as trade partners... I could see Heat/Blazers as trade partners... I'm not really seeing the advantage to having all 4 interwoven.

Unless the Bulls are doing some super-dump and you got Tobias & Harden involved with huge salaries being ejected.


The Bulls would still try to win this year, so getting a PG would help them, plus give them flexibility going forward.

Lavine is a couple knee surgeries deep and is due on average $44.5m in each of the next 4 years. That's a really bad contract to take on. Also, doesn't the new CBA kill teams over the cap? We can't take on that deal.

None of the assets or players are coming from different teams. This just looks like 2 separate deals.
