Sixers Offseason Thread Part 3

[sixers4real]

Vet min options:

PG: Spencer Dinwiddie, Delon Wright, Kyle Lowry, Cam Payne

SG: Gary Harris, Alec Burks, Lonnie Walker, Evan Fournier, Malik Beasley

SF: Gordon Hayward, Doug McDermott, Joe Ingles, Cedi Osman, Reggie Bullock, Jae Crowder

PF: Taurean Prince, Dario Saric

A lot of good players. Morey will be fine

[TTP]

Getting Oubre back on vet min would be huge. Leaves enough for 2 other rotation pieces with the remaining cap and RE.

Plus we get early bird rights on Oubre for next offseason to get him paid then. Of course he'll need to trust Daryl Morey lol...

I doubt he takes another min but ultimately who knows. I think he probably gets offered more from someone. He's great value on a min but if we have to pay anywhere near market value, I'd pass.

Ultimately he's a poor shooter and a mediocre at best defender that can score some as a slasher and provide some energy, and that archetype appeals very little to me. The fanbase seems to like him a lot but his impact has never matched his reputation.

[MikRay]

The only thing I’m nervous about is the clippers owner who has more money than all of us put together steps in and said F it. I want to keep Paul George pay him what he wants.

[sixers4real]

Is there real any other option for PG other then the Sixers?

I have to disagree a little bit. I think he played pretty good defense for the most part.

This, he's good coming from the bench on limited minutes but he's also prone to dumb plays and can cost you games.

[FireMorey]

Want to see if Klay still takes that meeting with the Sixers after this. If you read the tea leaves it feels like Morey wanted to make two splashes. Not Markkanen sized for the second one, but someone in the skill range of KCP/Klay. It’s why Stein reported they were trying to think of ways to land PG and KCP. And then right before free agency it comes out Klay is meeting with the Sixers and they can offer more than any team he’s meeting with. So we’ll see.

I also won’t be surprised if Melton can be had for the minimum because of his back issues. A one year deal to prove he can stay healthy.

KCP averaged 10ppg and gets $22MM/year. Oubre averaged 15ppg and gets $3MM/year?

Obviously there’s more than points, but Kelly’s a solid player.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

OK...Unless Paul Reed is sliding over to play power forward (which we've all wanted), we're still going to have a void at that spot.

Here are some choices,

Kyle Anderson- Not my first choice, but not a bad one either

Jalen Smith- I know you all are tired of seeing me mention him

Taurean Prince- Not a power forward in my opinion. More of a wing.

Precious Achiuwa- Should get some consideration.

OR we come back with Paul Reed and KJ Martin. I personally would not be opposed to trying Reed or Martin out at the position. They would do the dirty work required at that spot. You would just need a competent guard in the lineup that could defend and hit threes. If that's the case,

Lonnie Walker - Yeah...I like him

D'Anthony Melton - I would love to bring him back

Buddy Hield- he'd have to come back on a discount

OR You go bigger and put Paul George at the 2 guard spot and sign another wing/small forward

Caleb Martin - would love for us to sign him!

Bring back Oubre - Why not, he can play G or F

Naji Marshall - Don't really like him as a starter

Derrick Jones Jr who I'm pretty sure is going back to Dallas.

The other option is to explore the trade market.

SG: Gary Harris, Alec Burks, Lonnie Walker, Evan Fournier, Malik Beasley

SF: Gordon Hayward, Doug McDermott, Joe Ingles, Cedi Osman, Reggie Bullock, Jae Crowder

Gary Harris would be great.

Not bad and Burks always seems to be on fire when we play against him. One thing I like about him he’s not afraid to pull the trigger. He has no fear.

It makes sense. They wouldve been super deep into the 2nd apron and paying the price if they signed him, and they also know this team aint happening. They got Harden back for not that much and not that long, and they already gave Kawhi his short deal. They'll play out the string for 2 years and then probably gut it or try to move to a different timeline, no reason to bring back PG and have to be left holding him in years 3-4 of the deal when it's starting to stink.

[sixers4real]

Is this the quietest FA in recent years? That’s up with PG?

[ProcessDoctor]

I think the "hold up" is one of two things (or both):

1. Avoiding tampering charges "hey we're talking for the first time tonight, crazy right"

2. Getting creative in structuring his deal to generate more space to add another significant piece

If it's #2, good for Morey. Seems to me we have a bit of leverage here, as it's down to us and the Clippers, and if Ballmer was going to pay up wouldn't he have just done it already?

His market's pretty tough to suss out though, not many teams would have him as a priority. How do you feel about him at about the tax MLE? Feels like a PO team might offer that up.

The Clippers officially announced they weren't going to sign him, so that option seems pretty done.

The Clippers already released a statement on him not resigning, we're running alone at this point (not that with our luck we can't ultimately lose).

Where is this meeting taken place if it’s out in California you have to keep in mind It’s only 7 o’clock.
