From this list, Siakam is probably the best. Klay is washed and arguably Middleton isn't the same player so Siakam looks like the best option atm. Many of the UFA guys on this list are well past their primes and/or not stars and the top RFAs (Edwards, Lamelo, etc.) are obviously going to be re-signed by their current teams.

No way I'm trading Maxey for Beal. LaVine is a more interesting option but I'd still probably pass.

Same people gambling on Maxey potential is the same people who didn't want to pay jimmy and was pro Tobias because he was slightly younger and not a cancer ...

Bankrupt comparison.

I'm sorry but what does Beal provide that Maxey doesn't already? Maxey is 7+ years younger than Beal and would come significantly cheaper even with his extension.

Not a great comparison. It was never Jimmy vs. Tobias. It was Jimmy vs. Ben.

Lavine and Beal are not guys who are going to get you over the hump.

Anyone find it odd the Sixers are the only team where the contract terms for their new coach haven't been disclosed?

I’d seriously look at Ingram if there’s any inkling he wants out and wants success. Zion is cooked proper and a headcase

We won’t have elite guard play if Harden leaves but injuries aside Ingram + Biid is a very scary front court imo.

Don't see any realistic options worth trading Maxey for this summer.

I intentionally ignored Brown because he'll likely be signing his supermax extension before 2024 and even if he doesn't, I don't see how we'd be able to afford him via trade or free agency.

Ridiculous. I wanted Butler to stay and hated the Tobias signing, and I wouldn't trade Maxey straight up for either Beal or Levine, much less along with Harris. Beal and Levine are Harris all over again, empty stats losing players on awful contracts.

i think it's interesting the the word "championship" has been used very very sparingly in all his interviews.

Maxey, Tobias as the filler contract in trade.

trading Maxey for beal or Lavine would be so Sixers. Two older and often injured guys who would show signs of declining as soon as they play for us :lol:

We still don't know how long is Nurse's contract?
