76ers 2023-24 Season Thread Part 2

[FireMorey]

Them trying to salvage a lost season and hurting their prospects this summer would be so Sixers of them.

[Stanford]

Any truth about the Klay Thompson stuff on X(Twitter)? Seen we're the favorites if traded. Or is all that bs?

I'd take a pick attached to Klay.

Giving up on a season because of a setback without knowing what the extent of it is, would be so Sixersfans

I'm not in favor of giving up on this season, but I hope we don't give up our 2024 FRDP unless a star player is coming back in the deal. We need youth and athleticism and we need it as soon as possible. We have none to speak unless you count Smith, Springer, and Council. We've got Maxey, Melton, Harris, Embiid and a team full of bums. So yeah, a trade is necessary, but compromising our draft pick this summer is not.

Of all the guys sitting and creating trade speculation, one man rises above it to play (and firmly solidify that he'll be with the Sixers for the duration of his contract).

gonna resign Tobias to another max this offseason.

The Sixers are currently acting as if they are quietly tanking.

That would be the death knell. Just pack up the franchise and ship it to Seattle.

Another chance for Tobias to sell himself to the Warriors brass for a trade tomorrow!

Hahaha - ok.

Who is worth trading that is as young has the same potential and isn't injury prone???

These are speculative names...Keep in mind I'm not in favor of trading Tyrese Maxey. But these are a few names I'd trade him for.

Anthony Edwards if Minnesota has a falling out

Lamelo Ball - You can call him injury prone, but he's worth trading for

Brandon Ingram

Jalen Williams

Trae Young - He's a bit older, but he's a true point guard that can make things work if Embiid were to sit.

Donovan Mitchell- Again a bit older, but he's another player that can hold it down when guys get hurt. At this point I think the Cavs would part with Garland before him.

With that being said, I think we need to kill the trade Tyrese talk. It's just bad mojo all around. There's nothing wrong with Maxey and there's no reason to trade him. Defenses are simply loading up to stop him. It's an easy task for a defense when he's the only one out there who can handle the basketball or get a bucket, and yet he's averaging 29 a game with the current cast of steaming garbage he's surrounded with. Outside of Tobias Harris, this is the biggest collection of bums I've seen in a while on this team. Danuel House, the corpse of Marcus Morris? Pat Bev is still fun, but he shouldn't have the usage he's getting. I like Kelly Oubre, but you simply can't do anything with him. He's the definition of a losing player and it's obvious why nobody wanted him this past summer. Nic Batum is old AF and doesn't want to be here, Mo Bamba is a bum, Korkmaz hates his life, KJ Martin has been a disappointment, Robert Covington is washed like a pair of construction worker socks. None of these vets are worth keeping around at this point aside from Melton and he's quickly getting the injury-prone title attached to his name.

I got off topic which was the ludicrous idea that we should trade Maxey, but here's my take on things. I think we're going to try and fight this out. The goal is to win games, so I expect the team to try and do that. Prep yourself for more House, Korkmaz (hopefully he's traded), Morris, Bev, and Oubre. If Batum feels like basketballing he'll be out there too unless his wife needs him at home with the kids. Covington? Who TF knows and honestly who cares? Once the team realizes that it can't win with those guys, expect some phantom injuries to start popping up. After that we should be able to get a nice decent look at Smith, Council, and Springer in expanded roles. Nurse honestly needs to do it now, but there's no way in hell he will. Pair them with Maxey, Harris, Melton if he comes back, Reed, and Bev. I don't care if I ever see House or Marcus Morris play basketball again. Same goes for Covington and at this point Batum can go too. In short, none of our older vets matter without Joel Embiid here. It'll be a mess trying to get these guys to gel on the floor without him. Maybe I'm being cynical, but things look terrible at the moment and for some ridiculous reason, people are starting to throw out the idea that Maxey needs to be traded because he can't carry the team to a win with the likes of Danuel House, and the rest of the apathetic personalities on this roster. It's an insult to Maxey to have to shoulder this, but it's probably a good thing he's going through this right now. I think it'll actually make him a better player. Oh...He's averaging like half a turnover a game with this cast LOL.

The only part of this post I disagree with is the idea of trading Maxey for Trae Young. I want no part of Young under any circumstances - I get that he is perhaps better equipped to carry a team without an injured Embiid, but more and more he is taking on the persona of a stats compiling losing player, and a team cancer. No thank you.

Few others posting it too. Was just curious

[Stanford]

Betting odds mean nothing.

[Mik317]

would fit our philosophy of getting washed players tho

[Arsenal]

No way on Klay. He’s totally WASHED.

[seventy6ers]

I don't see why the Sixers can't find a trade with the Bulls to get Drummond and Caruso. Give up Reed and Springer, or someone else of their choice along with a pick.

[Mik317]

Tilman to Boston for some seconds.

[Stanford]

Sad day for us Tillheads

[the_process]

Trades have started.

Reed has a no trade clause and his contract is not guaranteed if the team he's playing for doesn't make it to the 2nd round (thanks Danny Ainge). So I'm sure he's going to be very selective on agreeing to any trade.
