Fake Trade Thread #5

Been big on Thybulle for a while, but dang he is an atrocity on offense.

"Could Wednesday’s contest against the Boston Celtics be Matisse Thybulle’s last game as a member of the 76ers? There’s a belief that the shooting guard will be moved before Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline as the team positions itself to win this season’s NBA title. The Sixers (34-18), who are third in the Eastern Conference, could replace him with a suitable backup center to help push the squad to a deep postseason run." – via Keith Pompey @ The Philadelphia Inquirer

"suitable backup center?"

Matisse for Mason straight up.

they'd have to send Korkmaz to match salary. Given that he's owed another year of salary, I think we could easily get our own 2nd back from them in that deal too, maybe sending out one of our later 2nds

Sure about this? Trade Checker says straight up is doable even with salary difference - not that Trade Checker is infallible

Thybulle + Korkmaz for Plumlee framework makes sense. Korkmaz has been awful the last couple years, but Thybulle would be a good long term fit for this team.

They can also potentially help the tank this year. Korkmaz is just bad and Clifford doesn't have the flexibility to utilize a player like Thybulle properly, even though the roster is set up for it. He'll just throw Thybulle out there with a center that can't shoot and also DSJ in the same lineup and it will be the classic clogged toilet to the max. He'd also probably love Korkmaz and play him a ton (problem is when they don't fire him he might keep playing him next season). Bench unit post deadline could be DSJ/Korkmaz/Thybulle/Thor/Richards lol.

Thybulle is high on my list. He struggles shooting the ball, but it is not so bad its completely unplayable. Hell, we have guys playing now shooting under 33%, so it can't get much worse.

Why I like him is
1. He is obviously a elite defender, you put him on the best player and he can make life difficult for them just to get the ball.
2. He speeds up the game, he gets in passing lanes, blocks shots. That is perfect to help us get out and run with LaMelo.
3. He is a good athlete, he had 60 dunks last year and he only made 105 2's. That would be leading our team easily excluding centers.
4. Since he struggles to shoot, he is a guy that looks to cut to the basket instead of standing on 3pt line. LaMelo would have a field day with that.

all of this - getting him in a fair swap (or not-fair swap for other team) would be a coup for us.

I don't even think he needs to start, but he is a guy that you can play 15-20 minutes a night that when utilized correctly he can have a major impact.

What would be the reaction here if Mitch did absolutely nothing?

I'm not sure how much venom I have left or just how toxic I want to get on here again. I've lost all hope with our front office though, so I prepare to be disappointed. Either we don't trade or we made a wtf trade.

Tell thybulle to shoot 19 times a game and Jack up 8 3s per game. Then we can have Kelly who actually plays defense

They have the same career 3pt %. Why the **** not?

Spidey senses are tingling…but signaling danger instead of excitement. Not confident Mitch can actually pull off any significant trade, or move the pieces we need to move.

[JDR720]

Can't tell if Thybulle is just an awful offensive player or the 76ers just don't let him do anything with Embiid + Harden/Simmons. He averages a whopping 4.4 points for his career in 20mins.

[SWedd523]

I wouldn't be surprised at all. In fact, it's probably the most likely scenario.

Agreed. I'm expecting little to no moves made.

Complete lack of asset management is so on script for this management that I don't know if you can call it dereliction or just business as usual.

[JDR720]

Bouk + Jalen for Thybulle + Korkmaz + 2nd.

76ers get rid of Korkmaz and swap Thybulle for Jalen.

We get a Kelly replacement (Korkmaz) and a defender.


After this, we trade Oubre and Plumlee too. And Rozier.

[bravor]

If they trade for Thybulle, they should try to get the rights of Petrusev at the same time.

Moving Rozier should be a priority though, i just cant wait for fvv/conley to be traded so that things can accelerate. Next draft will provide some quality pg's, and he will become way less easy to move after this deadline. Even for neutral value, it has to be done.

[Liver_Pooty]

As soon as the Raptors decide what they want to do with their guys trades will start flowing.

The trade checker is definitely wrong, the Sixers can't exceed the apron due to signing PJ Tucker with the MLE, and 9.1M and 4.4M don't align for salary matching anyway.

The Sixers are going to want a salary-neutral trade or one that gets them below the tax all together.Adding Korkmaz shaves about $200k off their payroll and leaves them about $1M away from getting below the tax.

Both.

He does suck on offense, a lot. But you want floor spacers next to Embiid and either Harden or Simmons. I think we'd forget about Cody Martin pretty fast if we traded for Thybulle.

Wishful thinking we could avoid rostering Korkmaz.
