Article says there's a 80% chance he stays in Indiana lol.

So your saying we got a 20% chance

Anyways the principle of article is that we have the best chance out of all the teams as of today to get him if they trade Turner. You never know, Turner may behind closed doors tell them he wants out.

What dysfunction? You mean Benjamina Simmolina's "mental boo boo" makin him not wanna play and get millions of dollars?

Otherwise, team is the best it's been in years even with his absence.

33 million dollars pouting on the bench and tanking an MVP level season from Embiid along with his own trade value. Don't know what to call that other than dysfunction.

Sixers finished 1st in the East last year and are destined to be a 1st round exit this season if they stand pat. If you call that "best it's been in years" then you're in denial lol.

Harden to the Sixers will be annoying. Sixers and Nets could end up being championship contenders this year.

Dragic's value is that he's an expiring contract. Teams waiting for him to be bought out is irrelevant since whoever trades for him will be trading for the contract.

Yup.

Much rather no deal get done which hurts Philly, and then let the Nets struggle trying to get healthy this year....have them lose....then have Harden go join a team in the West.

That's Ben's problem, not the Sixers'. The team is trying to fix it so that 33 mill turns into a player that actually contributes.

Morey putting everything into harden deal. If BKR baulks he gonna look like a moron. Embiid needs help.

lmaooooo not the sixers problem. good stuff.

SurgeIblocka · Post #1877 » by **SurgeIblocka** » Wed Feb 9, 2022 5:42 pm

What if Nets and Harden are playing Morey Hard, make them busy in negotiations till last minute and then call off deal. I thought KD and Harden are tight.

ash_k · Post #1878 » by **ash_k** » Wed Feb 9, 2022 5:42 pm

I just hope Morey does not blow it (again) just give them Maxey as well.

pilkoids · Post #1879 » by **pilkoids** » Wed Feb 9, 2022 5:46 pm

Given Bobbys comments, it will likely end up playing out like this - we would've had to attach a frp to make any deal that helps us, and he'd rather not do that.
