Gm 48: Nuggets (34-15) @ 76ers (31-16) Sat 1/28 3:00 PM

[Embiid P]

Using Tucker to guard Jokic was one of the better adjustments I've seen Doc make since he's been coaching here. It worked, it allowed us to get back into the game. It also reinforces the yearning desire for us to acquire a hybrid 4/5 that can stretch the floor to pair with Embiid at certain times.

What players would you suggest?

I've been pounding the table for Chris Boucher, but he's probably not available. KJ Martin is a bit on the short side, but he's extremely active and athletic. Bringing Richaun Holmes back should be an option. Mo Bamba is available as well. I love Bol Bol, but I doubt Orlando is looking to deal him. But.... Ideally a player like Chris Boucher would be my top choice. Paul Reed would be the in house option, but he can't stretch the floor the way Boucher can.

Knowing Masai, he'll probably want 5 unprotected firsts for Boucher especially from a division rival.

It's funny Embiid got 0 votes in the poll voting

Well it shows how underrated he is even by Sixers fans, it's absolute madness really. That's why I have to defend him every single time I can, to offset how underrated he is, like what more does the man need to do?

can't fault you for your dedication. even though obviously

I don’t think Bum is a troll. He’s a Philly fan that has a pension to exhibit troll like behavior when frustrated which was quite often. I have faith he might even warm up to Harden when it’s all said and done.

Id personally vouch for either Zach Collins or Mike Muscala

Bring Andre Drummond back.

I concede that I was fairly wrong about him being washed up, if he is it's only slightly, he is definitely a huge addition for us, and I have faith that this year we can do better than being annual tradition 2nd round fodder with the much improved Embiid-Harden chemistry that understandably was lacking last year.

Yeah, I think it's definitely a pipe dream trying to acquire Boucher. He's just ideally the perfect fit in my opinion. I think Morey is going to find someone that all of us have overlooked. Nobody mentioned trading for D'anthony Melton last year and if they did, I didn't see it and I apologize. I do think Morey has a list made up and he go down that list and try to acquire one of those names. People keep mentioning Drummond...I would be fine with that. He would certainly help us in the rebounding department. He made plays for us last year, I like him. I just prefer someone a little more athletic/versatile that can guard on switches because that is all the NBA is anymore defensively. It's harder to find a mismatch on the floor when you have a player that can defend the way Boucher can, or a Bol Bol for that matter. On top of that, they can stretch the floor for us which means they are playable with Embiid which is even better. I still have faith in Paul Reed, but he's going to have to improve his shooting from outside for it to work. Trey Lyles is another name I came up with, but he's not quite the defensive player you would want him to be. He is a stretch 4 though. We'll see...I'm sure Morey will get us someone. I'll settle for Drummond, I like Zach Collins, Bruno Fernando. I really like Boucher, and KJ Martin.

KJ Martin is good but a little short. Like Boucher, and definitely Zach Collins, although I think the Spurs like him. What do you think of Plumlee lol. Also like Trey Lyles. If we could get Bamba that would be great. Magic have way too many centers.

I do see Doc making a run for Eric Gordon though lol.

I don't know why on earth we'd go after Eric Gordon. We might as well make a run at John Collins who would be a lot more useful if we are trying to take on that kind of money. Or better yet, go after Josh Hart instead of Gordon, or even rent Jerami Grant for half a season. Plumlee? As in Mason Plumlee? He'd give us the same thing Drummond does. Solid rebounder, good passer for a big guy, but not someone you can confidently switch with on defense. Also not a guy you can pair with Embiid if rebounding becomes an issue. With that said, both Plumlee and Drummond are upgrades over Harrell at this time. Not that Harrell doens't have a place here. He does, but if the opportunity to trade him to upgrade the center spot came up, I'd take it in a second.

I don't disagree Melton was out of nowhere, but oddly enough RTRS discussed trading a first for Melton the week before it happened or so.

The hope is Gordon takes a buyout if he’s not taken by the deadline. No way we trade for him. I have a suspicion this will be the case.

Maybe Toronto goes for Potel and we are the third team and grab Boucher. I think his fit with tucker as the 4/5 combo in the playoffs would be phenomenal

That'd be pretty amazing.

I think Usman Garuba would be solid as back-up C. He’s multi positional defender, great rebounder, solid in deflections, good as a roll man. Rox depthchart at C is stacked anyway with Sengun and Fernando. Fernando is also OK.

He’s the type of guy morey targets. Vets with multiple years left on their deals. I could legitimately see us go after him

[M2J]

New Orleans has some big bodies that seem redundant when they're healthy. Like Nance Jr., Jackson Hayes...

[Jaqua92]

If we somehow make it out of the East, please give us the Nuggets. They are all small guards, one dimensional shooters, and Jokic.

I understand why Jokic got the last two MVPs but Embiid is absolutely the better player when sharing the floor and he'll cook Jokic in a theoretical finals series.

Lol

They won a championship but i also agree Philly is a bad matchup for Denver. Their advantage throughout postseason was Joker being a mismatch vs every big so if you double he would kill you. Against Sixers Embiid doesn’t need to double. So u force Murray and the role players to beat you. Murray went crazy against Lakers, so maybe he goes crazy vs us but I loved our matchup Vs Denver. And still do.

[Covi_Marsh]

Ayton AD and Bam Adebayo? I was glad Heat beat Boston. Didn’t want Boston Vs Denver cuz I don’t think denver could beat them. I preferred a nuggets champion over Boston.
