So what's the pivot? (Beal, Lavine, or smaller moves)? - Post Harden ideas and rumors

If Vin is to ever be right about something, I hope this is it.

Vin is the best at being the worst, LOL.

Nance would be a very good secondary piece as part of a bigger trade between the Sixers and Cavs.

I do find it feasible that Morey is after LaVine. We've heard intermittent rumors for 3 months now. That being said, I don't think Chicago is giving him up. At least, not right now.

I also don't see Chicago giving him up unless it's for a Harden package

Oh hell yeah!! Looks like we are going to be swinging for the fences. Correct play here. Wide open season, Embiid’s prime, championship window. In the words of Aquaman I dig it. (Fingers crossed Ben is stays, Embiid + Simmons + Lavine is a perfect complimentary combo/perfect timeline).

My knee jerk reaction was "...but why?", but I see he's getting 3s up and making them at a solid rate this year. Could be interesting as a switch-y, 3+D backup 4/5.

Re: Nance, I feel like they've already invested enough long term money in the front court. If they're bringing on someone like that I'd prefer a guard or at least a wing.

Re: Vin, lol.

I think his contract situation would be appealing to Morey (2 years left after this current one at about ~10m). Also seems like a combative move to facing the Nets (and Celtics to a lesser existent). Hyper quick 6'8 forward with long arms and unreal instincts for disturbing passing lanes. Not sure how he'd coexist with Ben and Jo and Harris offensively, but he'd be a nice piece to have.

Fantasy wise it would be apart of a bigger deal with Garland also coming to Philadelphia...

New Keith Pompous think piece

How the heck are we getting Nance, Lavine and Lowry? Lol

If Morey can somehow do this plus keep Ben he is already the goat gm and the best we’ve had since Hinkie. His Horford/Richardson move was already one of the best maneuvers already.

Nance as a composite for Harris is actually not bad at all (Prefer Barnes but Nance has a value laden contract which is attractive).

Kobblehead · Post #1735 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Mar 6, 2021 11:19 pm

Of course Lowry would like to be traded. He gets to compete for a title and he gets to keep $30m. He's going to have to make a choice, though. It's one or the other because no contender is trading you for, Kyle.

That's a random kid from Lancaster's think piece, aggregating Keith's report from like 2 weeks ago

Agreed. No one is re-signing him for 2-60, except maybe Tampa. Seems to me he is just trying to leverage one last big deal out of the Raptors.

I don't see it. I don't see Morey trading everything for Kyle Lowry. Then going into the playoffs with no depth, no backup PF, no picks next year, and still not having a roster guaranteed to get to The Finals. Doesn't seem like a Morey thing. Seems like wishful fan thinking.

And the operative word is "MIGHT be willing to work out a trade." Therefore it's just speculation.

Would never actually open anything with Keith's name on it. I just share whatever floats on my timeline in this thread...

Same. I think he's probably after targets we're not even aware of anyways. Was Seth Curry ever on our radar?

What is the pivot now that Harden is gone? Votes can be changed
