He's a veteran guard who has had some decent success with other teams.

This must be what it felt like when we traded for Moses Malone.

Now that we have someone who can get 10apg, will that help Niang and Korkmaz's shooting? They have to be set up for more open looks at this point.

SAS said two weeks ago that Morey needs to end the charade and trade Simmons lol.

Gonna put this second to that deal. The moment we received Moses we knew we had a CHIP coming, put us well over the top. This is one step down, but still feels pretty damn good. This is more like being on the other end of the Barkley trade, and the Malone trade was also an outright steal by comparison.

Absolutely yes. They should see better looks than they ever have.

exactly.

Ben sucks according to all of RealGM now its like Brooklyn won the lottery when you add in Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and 2 likely late 1st round picks. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Meanwhile the Nets gave this literally 1 year ago:
Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, Taurean Prince, Rodions Kurucs, Aleksandar Vezenkov
three first-round picks (2022, 2024 and 2026)
four first-round pick swaps (2021, 2023, 2025, 2027)

Imagine losing/swapping 7 1st round picks and giving up 2 young prospects and then acting like the trade with the Sixers was worse LOL

Good trade considering the overall situation. If Kyrie can play the Nets and Sixers are the two best teams in the east hands down.

It gives Embiid what he deserves---at least a legit 2-3 year window for a title. Harden signing the supermax is a little concerning at his age but I think only the last year may suck........Sixers have a real shot at a title.....

John Clark will be waiting at the gentlemen's club tonight for Harden's first interview as a 76er.
