Tik tok tik tok..
That's the date 2020 draftees can be traded right? So we can include Maxey in a deal then.

Both could be losses. Magic always seem to have our number.

If you don't have time I can give you a quick summary
SixthStreet wrote:There are a lot of weird results league-wide for as few games having been played. Some combination of short offseason for the bubble teams and no fans. I'm not surprised we looked really bad without Embiid. Morey's makeover clearly sacrificed talent for fit and while the full roster should be able to win more games they will be much worse when Embiid is out. We probably win this game with Horford. Simmons won't be able to pull this roster to wins without Joel.
Think you just throw out this result and move on. Wouldn't take away much from it.

But Harden/Embiid/Harris/Shake/Howard is not enough....

Brooklyn is in New York. Clippers are in LA Philly is in... Philly.
Not a destination location, not going to get duos like Kyrie and Durant or George and Kawhi. Unless you already have a guy that players want to play with... Not sure Joel is that guy.
Speaking of JoJo. Still think Philly should consider trading him before Ben. Simply because he's a slight bit older and if he's going to miss 20 games a year, it's not going to work.

If we have Jamal Murray instead of Ben, I’d be more open to trade Biid.
Ben with Harden doesn’t really make you a contender. It just makes you a weaker 2019-2020 Rockets squad.
And who knows.. maybe we’ll trade Biid for Steph Curry after the harden deal.

Well, I said weeks ago when Harden came around that the team prior to the trades was easier to build a contender with Ben and Harden vs Joel and Harden. Having a Horford in place of course. After the trades, I'm pretty confident Philly isn't winning a title with Harden either way.
I'm not against trading either Ben or Joel if I'm the Sixers. I think you can get a better, more solid foundation for either than Harden over time.

The starting unit doesn't fit, we’ll have more data for this in the upcoming games. Things may change.
And if you think we need more talent around Biid and Ben, then it shows how difficult it is to build Tobythose two. It can be done but it really takes a lot more than what we have now.
