Windhorst - "Sixers wouldn't give up Maxey"

[Zeno]

what a fail lol not trading lowry for maxey.

I don’t understand this. How is it a fail? He wasn’t offered reportedly.

The bigger fail is the Sixers thinking George Hill was an acceptable plan B. Real chance they win it all with Kyle that season.

Absolutely but not if they had to give up Maxey and then give Lowry that contract he got from the Heat. What Lowry expected in free agency really made the offers for him crap most likely. Same was most likely for Fred too.

Lol

[WaltFrazier]

Really? How so?

I mean, I don't want to get into all the stats and all that on a sunny Saturday morning before a big game, but I think it's fair to say the majority of NBA fans right now would give Maxey the upper hand if they were asked. I'm talking about as things currently stand today. 3 and 5 years down the line, who knows.

That’s why I said potential not who is better now. I don’t think you’d find many people around the league that would say Maxey has a higher ceiling than Precious.

This aged well

Hard to say if Maxey was ever one piece that Morey was willing to offer. It was vague at the time. However, Lowry contract demands probably destroyed any kind of deal getting done anyways. Funny, there was a similar repeat of this scenario recently on this team.

This thread is absolute gold and for that, this thread will clearly be locked soon.

Some of my favorite golden nuggets in here.

"Maxey is just a poor mans FVV"

"I feel way better having Precious over a microwave scorer"

"We have GTJ, we don't need Maxey"

"Small SG's that put up 17ppg aren't that rare or expensive."

Ah, good times lol.

[ItsDanger]

A smallish guard who can't defend will always be exploited.

It doesn't really matter because Morey wouldn't give him up anyways, but I'd still take my chances long term with Precious. He's the type of player the NBA is trending towards.

LMAO

[ItsDanger]

Oh I don't know about that one, chief...

Yeah I was going to come say the same thing. Precious is intriguing and has an interesting skillset, but ... Maxey is trending higher right now.

IDK man, people act like Maxey is an all-star. He averages 17/4/3 and shoots the 3 on low volume, is not good defensively, is not a playmaker, etc.

He is currently a poor mans FVV with some slashing.

This one is a classic! Good eye!

If Maxey was on Minnesota, nobody would know his name. Philly is a bigger market and has people in media pump up their team. Maxey is solid prospect for bottom end of rotation. If people expect more than they are really reaching at this point.

[DreamTeam09]

He was never on the table for us, why was this thread rehashed? B/C he went for 50 ? This is the exact reason why everyone is so uptight bent outta shape in Toronto sports, ya'll think just because ya fantasy scenarios never hashed out it must be the fault of our GM and mgmt? Nothing about the unrealistic ideas that were never on the table and believing every rumor drummed up by reporters/insiders with about as much information as everyone else on this board has....

Enjoy the szn everyone...

Not really. Lowry on that team would have went to the finals.

[MiamiSPX]

Meh, we've all had bad takes and will continue to do so.

I don't believe a deal between Morey and Masai can ever get done. I also don't believe Maxey was offered.

[Fairview4Life]

I didn't think Maxey would ever be this deadly from three. Just a killer combo with his speed.

This is why nobody should mock anyone for bad past takes.

We all have them.

I think the signs were there. The more surprising stuff is everything else. Rebounding, passing, defense.

I said Scottie Barnes was Joey Graham with a handle right after the pick was made lmao

I didn't buy the hype on Doncic and was fairly certain he was overhyped.

I pointed this out in a different thread.

That 'what ifs' can only be applied negatively to a front office. "They didn't pull the trigger when they could", "This was an overpayment, what if the draft pick becomes a star in 5 years..." etc etc

It can't be used for the positive. Because you can only apply the 'positive' to the actual concrete things that happen.

So you're left with a never ending list of "could haves" or "fantasy" vs the actual concrete deliverables.

Sure. Pretend not to get the point all you like. But... Ouch.

This guy is just laughing at himself.

[Badonkadonk]

Why is this being rehashed? Maxey was never available for Lowry.
