They absolutely cannot.

1) They are less than he will make
2) It would take Philly over the hard cap and thus not be legal.


Couldn't we package the exceptions with a Zhaire/Scott combo? That gets us to about 18 mil or thereabouts. No?


No you can't do that

The theme of the night was fixing the mistakes of last year’s boneheaded GM..... who is still in the room as the GM. It’s like an 80s sitcom. Plot: Morey banged Harris’ wife, so his punishment is he has to fix the sixer... but here is the twist... with the guy who screwed the team up as his assistant. Can you imagine the hilarious hijinks that ensue as Morey and his ill-equipped partner try to fix the very team that Elton screwed up?

It’s like a sports version of Tommyboy. They might be onto something.


I don't know, it just seems absurd to think Elton gets an extension if he was truly the leading voice on everything that happened last year.


Elton was a disaster. Josh Harris is just an idiot who has no clue what he is doing, so he is keeping Elton around. He kept Colangelo’s guys there for a few years. He tried to keep Hinkie there in a reduced role. He is so confused and lucked out getting Morey.

Is it fair to say that Paul Reed's ceiling is Montrezl Harrell?

Joshy boy has made exactly TWO good (great) decisions as the Sixers owner.

1) Hiring Sam Hinkie

2) Hiring Daryl Morey

Perhaps a 3rd will be hiring Doc Rivers, but we'll see.

If Elton is truly as useless as it seems, hopefully Morey finds a way to get rid of him.

Oh look more Brand slander when the official line from the team was THE TRADES WERE GROUP DECISIONS!!!...but of course the Brand detractors would prefer to continue to spew the lie that he made all the decisions on his own...whilst praising a man who just traded for Westbrook's terrible contract and left his old team with no first round picks for years...smh.

are you trolling? Brand was the GM so obviously the blame falls on him. Morey has been one of the best GMs for the last decade even if you want to make the argument that Frittata didn't force that move on him so obviously we are confident in his abilities

Brand had ONE draft and ONE free agency where he had to work with his hands tied behind his back. But folks act like other gm's haven't made mistakes before smh. The Horford deal was bad but he GOT Butler for virtually nothing and he drafted Matisse and he got a first round pick for Fultz etc etc...so if you want to judge then be fair across the board. Also Morey left Houston in a mess and didn't even reach a single finals..even though i'm happy we've got him those are just the facts.

Media seems to love the Horford trade and like the Curry deal, and Maxey should get a nice draft grade. Kind of a grating night, loved Maxey, hated missing out on the mid 30's of this draft, but joe at the pick in the forties was a nice pickup.

If Simmons, Embiid and Harris play up to or near their salaries, they have a much more cohesive and sensible supporting cast. More moves to make at least on the margins, and rounding out the roster with some bigs. Shayok does nothing for me and Reed is a deep project, Zhaire needs a relocation move, maybe grab a future second for him or another change of scenery guy.

So does this take any chance of getting Lavine out of the question now? Is our only big possiblity Harden to Simmons?
