Houston traded their 2 guard and don’t have a current replacement unless they plan to play FVV and Sheppard together. This gives them 2 wings capable of playing with KD and Jabari .
Landale is a non guaranteed contact that can be let go after the season for 0 $.

Is that assuming Grimes has an offer of 15m/yr that's Sixers match?

Could be wrong, but I believe Houston could offer the full MLE to Grimes. I just used a round # ($45M), but a 3 year contract using the MLE should fall somewhere right in that neighborhood

Eason is a pretty unreasonable ask. Could maybe get Whitmore. That is, if Houston even has any interest in Grimes.

Would you trade PG + LAC 1st for one season of LeBron?

F***k no. I wouldn't trade a bag of rocks for that kind of nightmare.

Bringing that d-bag here would be the one thing that would actually finish me as a Sixers fan.

I was expecting you to be the first response to this and you didn't disappoint.

My guy, what would make you happy with this team? Why you so mad all the time?

Sorry, but a 40-year old ingrate who wants things his way and only his way isn't on my wish list. What can I say?

Mad? Me? Not even a little bit.

What would make me happy is to knock off the silly charade that Embiid is still a viable player and to admit that the George signing was a dreadful mistake by moving him before the trade deadline. We've got some nice youth here and some draft capital, and I'd rather they aren't wasted chasing an imaginary playoff run. Especially for a guy like James, who the Lakers would love to be rid of but will likely find no takers unless the Cavs' owner loses his mind.

I’d rather have Grimes.

I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong.

Will Sixers be above the cap immediately after the signing?

"When Max Strus was signed-and-traded July 2023, his new contract's first year salary was $14,487,684. However, for the Heat (the team trading him), his outgoing salary was limited to $7,243,842 (50% of the first year salary)."

You know that moving PG would cost us some major draft capital. I'm expecting PG to be here for at least another 2 and a half years. Probably move him at the deadline in his final year.

This. A bounceback from PG the first half of this upcoming season and he should be dumpable for shorter contracts. Some team will delude themselves into thinking he's the missing piece as long as his numbers look good and he's healthy.

Hey listen, I'm all for trading PG I just don't know who's taking that contract for 3 more years

2 1/2 years as of the upcoming deadline. Or 2 years after the upcoming season. Again, this is predicated on him having a bounceback season, not another one like the last one.
