There's a lot of noise around the Kings blowing things up. Fox/Sabonis don't make sense here, but DeRozan at 23.4M is a matchable salary for us, and likely takes minimal draft assets to acquire.

I hate that he doesn't shoot 3s, and I hate that we'd be getting even older... but this team is just so desperate for shot creation whenever Embiid doesn't play, which is frequent.

Any interest in Aldama? Jake Fischer said Memphis made him available and he proposed him as a possibility for the Sixers.

Seems like he could be a good fit if they want to compete (which they clearly do) if they decided to pivot to a rebuild, he still fits with Maxey and McCain while also fitting their timeline.

Read on Twitter

I wonder if there's a three way deal between Kings, Jazz and Sixers.

Jazz receive:
DeAaron Fox
KJ Martin
Kyle Lowry
Reggie Jackson

Sixers receive:
John Collins

Kings receive:
Collin Sexton
Caleb Martin
Andre Drummond
Eric Gordon
Future first from Sixers

Jazz get their superstar, Kings kinda save face for a guy who is looking more likely to bail, Sixers get their switchable PF.

As long as he doesn't cost significant assets, he's a clear fit. I wouldn't expect his next contract to push them into the 2nd apron, so there's probably little downside to acquiring him at the right price.

Surprising though that Memphis would make him available now - he leads them in total minutes played and is having a career year statistically. I'm assuming they'd be looking for a higher-end upgrade, since depth seems to already be a strength for them.

He'd be a solid add if the price is right. Borderline starter. I like his fit with Yabu as a 4/5 combo in a 5 out/skilled lineup.

The Kings are talking about blowing it up because Fox is thinking about asking out because DeRozan ruins offenses.

I don't know what the Sixers have that MEM would want. Yabu maybe? Seems like MEM would just keep Aldama then?

The PHLY guys speculated that Memphis would want to keep salary low as a small market team.

I think Yabu and/or picks could be the crux of the deal.

If they want to give him away, sure. But I have a feeling they'd be asking for McCain and/or Clipper picks, which is a non-starter now.

I highly doubt they are trying to give him away, but doubt it would cost McCain or the The LAC pick either. My guess would be a 1st though.

Maxey and McCain dont fit. Not trading yabu my first big off bench and small ball 5/4

McCain ,eg , Drummond and kj for a tall young pf for future.

Maybe we could give Miami McCain for Jimmy Butler...

... Maxey/Butler/Oubre/George/Embiid , son! For The Win!

A dude can dream, amirite??

youngcrev · Post #1773 » by **youngcrev** » Wed Dec 25, 2024 5:19 pm

It's not like they've had time to build chemistry with George yet....

PG goes to the Warriors, getting what he really wanted this summer (and I'm sure the way things are going here wouldn't mind...)

Warriors send Kuminga, Wiggins, contract filler to Miami

Joel gets his Christmas miracle and brings Jimmy back while the Sixers try to flip the mojo on their season (and on Jo's depression). Jimmy's far better suited to carry a team as needed when guys miss time (and in general in the playoffs). And Maxey is far more efficient when not asked to create for himself constantly.

I imagine Paul would be fine going to Miami (or any team in CA). But are we sure Jimmy is good with coming back here?

I think you hit two nails right on the head.

The only reason PG came here was because we were The Firstest With The Mostest - he wanted Every Penny, nobody was going to do that but our desperate asses.

And I know I joked about getting Jimmy back - and it appears to work in the Trade Checker, if you do Jimmy Butler for Jared McCain straight-up, it says it works (and I don't know why Miami wouldn't - he's disgruntled, McCain is the self-described Rookie of the Year, and it seemingly would put them in a prime Salary Cap/FA position...) but if Jimmy is still pissed, he's still pissed. And I still remember - it was in the news back then, one of the *real reasons* he was super pissed with us is that Tobias instantly got offered the 5-year $180 mil "Max" he was eligible for - but Jimmy didn't get 5, he initially only got offered 3, and *not* the max he could be offered for- and 'maybe' the 76ers went up to 4, but he was totally mad, so said No Way, and Miami swept in. And at the time we thought Horford was a better fit for better money & years anyway (based on the idea of Simmons/Tobias/Horford/Joel etc.)

But if there is one thing I don't doubt about Jimmy Butler, it's that he gives Max Effort & Brings The Pain. And I totally respect that.

We can't take back more salary than we send out in a trade, so the only way to get Butler is to send PG. Which is basically a lateral move on the court.

Sending McCain doesn't work.

I don't see why not. He just wants to be on a competitive team that is willing to pay him. He was connected via rumors over the summer before the PG situation cleared up.

Can't imagine it actually happening, but I don't think that would be why.

LeonJordanJr24 · Post #1778 » by **LeonJordanJr24** » Wed Dec 25, 2024 9:44 pm

I rather have PG.

I agree Jimmy probably just wants to get paid one last time (just like PG).

However, I wouldn't underestimate Jimmy's ability to hold a grudge. That's all.

Against who though? Josh? Different GM (well, president or whatever), different coach, different roster (no Ben).

Spike Eskin? :lol:
