I'd like a 4 for 3 deal. Something like
Furk, Shake, Thybulle, Reed and 2nd(s) for Caruso, Jones Jr., and Drummond.

Then go get a buyout wing

DJJ and Drummond help with rebouding. Caruso would be perfect on any contender


Sixers

Harden Maxey Harris Tucker Embiid

Caruso Melton House DJJ Drummond/Harrell


Chicago

Lonzo Lavine Thybulle Derozan Vucevic

Dragic/White Milton Korkmaz Reed Bradley

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I think the official trade watch should be on at this point. A list of players that I am looking at that the team will NEVER trade for, but should...

PJ Washington- Charlotte is going nowhere this year. They are playing for a top pick and MJ may finally get his franchise player. Selling high on Washington is a smart move right now for them and he would help us.

KJ Martin- The son on Kenyon...Every bit as athletic, not quite the shotblocker his dad was, but he's an active player who crashes the boards and can hit open threes. Certainly a plug in play addition to this roster. Mattise Thybulle straight across might get it done.

Mo Bamba- Is he even a thing in Orlando anymore? Still a very young talent who could use a change. He played only 8 minutes the other night. Orlando has moved on and it will haunt them once he's traded. He's an athletic big who can stretch the floor. Put him on a contending team and he will find the correct role. He's the perfect backup for Embiid.

Terrence Ross- Orlando may never get rid of him.

Bogdan Bogdonavich- high volume player on a bad team. Detroit is going to get something stupid for him. He's useful, but he's not a very good defensive player. If the idea is to flat out outscore our opponents, then I can see us being in play for him. He may cost too much though. Not sure of salary stuff...Don't care.

Keldon Johnson- Does San Antonio even entertain the idea of trading him? On top of that, is he a fit with Embiid? I don't know. Doubt he's available. Vassell was the guy I wanted us to try and get, but he's going to be out until March with a knee scope.

Doug McDermott- We could use another bomber off the bench. Again, this team seems to only care about offense. McDermott is being wasted with the Spurs and will probably move to a contender by the deadline.

Trey Lyles- He's kind of part of the Kings rotation, again...Another shooter who can stretch the floor and has some length. I like him more than most.

That's all I've got right now. There isn't much realistic help out there for us. KJ and Bamba would be at the top of my list. Morey needs to find a way.

[LeonJordanJr24]

Man this is easy trade Tobias for Collins or randle. ..

Rebound interior fixed and cut some money.


Play Tucker ,Thybulle and House at 3.

Keep harden,Maxey,Maxey and Shake at guard spots. ...

We good now.

I love the Toronto-Philly trade on the T&T board. It’s basically Maxey/Harris/Kork/protected 2029 FRP for Siakam/Porter/Juancho or Flynn.

Harden/Milton/Springer
Melton/Thybulle
Porter/Niang/House
Siakam/Tucker/Juancho
Embiid/Harrell/Reed

That’s the best defensive team in the league with 3 go-to scorers in the playoffs. We also still have a roster spot open if Gordon gets bought out.

[Kobblehead]

I don't know. Maxey and Harris are great shooters right now for us. Giving them up for a guy who is notoriously inconsistent with his shooting like Siakam seems like a huge net downgrade. And we'd have to lose a draft asset? Hard pass.

Siakam's most consistent trait is his playmaking. His least consistent traits are his shooting and his defense. As a third banana here, we'd need less of his playmaking and more of his shooting and defense. Seems like a tough fit.

The spacing would definitely be worse, but I think Porter would replace some of that and Siakam would be replacing a lot of PJ's minutes. Pascal has the ability to get tough buckets and make plays down the stretch, which I think will be really important in the POs when Embiid is stifled and Harden is off.

I know this will be unpopular, but Maxey screams "sell-high player" to me. In less than 2 years, he's going to be getting Tyler Herro money, which seems absurd. Maybe Pascal isn't the perfect fit, but he's probably the best player we can acquire for Maxey. Not to mention, he's in his prime like Embiid and would likely elevate us to favorites in a wide open Eastern Conference.

Bamba needs a dog transplant. The tools are there, but he just doesn't have the passion. On the surface a guy that size that can block shots, shoot 3s, and catch some lobs would be helpful. I'm just not sure if he'd be as helpful as he should based on the tools.

That said, sure, I'd roll the dice and see what Harden can do with him if the price is minimal.

I’d still be asking about Vassell.

Since Harden is likely going to be here long term, you might be right about Maxey assuming Harden gets his max (a contract which, as soon as Harden signs it, becomes the worst in the league. I hate this team).

I don’t see Harden-Maxey as a winning backcourt. And you’ve already heard the whispers (from Klutch) that Maxey doesn’t want to come off the bench.

Boy, Haliburton would have been nice, huh?

Yea in retrospect, what we got for Ben was going to determine our direction for the next 5 years. A Hali/Maxey backcourt would've been a blast offensively. We'd struggle to guard anyone, but maybe with enough Melton/Thybulle sprinkled in it would've been passable. Agree 100% RE concerns with a Harden-Maxey backcourt, and with Morey, we're likely married to Harden for the next few years (who I think is clearly more important to our current title odds than Maxey).

[Kobblehead]

Haliburton is an enigma. There's never been a player in NBA history as well-rounded yet have such little impact on success. Even his plus/minus is incomprehensibly bad.

[Jay555]

I love the Toronto-Philly trade on the T&T board. It’s basically Maxey/Harris/Kork/protected 2029 FRP for Siakam/Porter/Juancho or Flynn.

Harden/Milton/Springer
Melton/Thybulle
Porter/Niang/House
Siakam/Tucker/Juancho
Embiid/Harrell/Reed

That’s the best defensive team in the league with 3 go-to scorers in the playoffs. We also still have a roster spot open if Gordon gets bought out.

Interesting. It has a higher ceiling than the current roster for the next two years for sure.

Can Siakam catch & shoot? If not, it would be a problem. Our offense would basically be Biid, Harden and Siakam taking turns ISOing. Defense and rebounding would be amazing on the other hand.

Interesting. I think Harden is a better all around defender than Hali tbh.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Why on earth would Toronto move Siakam? If they did, he'd cost us quite a bit, but I'd be all about getting him on this team and pairing him with Embiid and Harden.

[LeonJordanJr24]

Siakam definitely be a interesting hyper athletic fit .

Because they are looking to rebuild?

Harden is a guard, who cares if he’s strong in the post. He sucks in space. Also at most Harden only gives a **** on defense 25% of the time.

If it was possible to make to make that trade, it’s worth the shot IMO. Might not work, but still worth the shot.

Haliburton is an enigma. There's never been a player in NBA history as well-rounded yet have such little impact on success. Even his plus/minus is incomprehensibly bad.

I think his value is pumped by their roster and system. Guys like Nembhard was able to generate the same stats when Hali was out. You also see TJ to be able to provide high assists numbers.

I dont think Hali would be a good fit on this team. The alpha we need should be someone who can defer to Embiid and yet can be an alpha scorer with Embiid not on the court. I also find Hali to be better with a lob threat than someone who’s gonna just hang at the elbow waiting for an entry pass.
