Trade/Free Agency Thread 2023-24, part 12 is my favorite thread. Out of a dozen...

Honestly, the 76ers should just cut Harden, fire Morey, and trade Embiid before his knees explode. This is pitiful.

Hopefully, Harden signs on the cheap with the Heat and destroys their culture.

Just a reminder, Tatum was said to be playing some PG this year. Between Jrue-White and Tatum, we have 3 outstanding play-makers. If by chance Boston doesn't want or need to use PP.

Disagree for me. Yes Tatum is "not a great play-maker" by true play-making standards, but Tatum will have a ton of defenders gravitate to him, combined with his ever increasing passing/creating ability, I m all for Tatum being put in the PG position at times.

If Tatum excels early on, give him more of it.. If he or the team struggles with it, then have him do it less. I personally am looking forward to seeing how it works out.

I know you can use the color but i keep getting confused thinking a mod is correcting someone, could you please choose another color?

No problem.. I only use it because the "Mods" locked up the other threads. And my quoting skillz suck ...

Blake has re-signed with the Celts according to the Sportshub.

But I can't find any confirmation.

Taylor definitely a member of Jujitsu Joe's murder cult. Looks like he just started picking up stray cats and are skinning them alive to turn into purses.

I think that's called a Woj fart.

They got the blue check mark, though, so Blake has to do the right thing now.

I wish for once the NBA made a stand. If Harden causes a scene, Suspend him indefinitely without pay.. And i'm not talking about philly's management. I'm talking about the NBA's front office...take the pressue off the team and send a message to everyone that shet like that will not be tolerated..

Miami could still trade Lowry, who thinks he's starting for them at PG, + picks (s) for Brogdon.

Yep. With limited exceptions, people have the constitutional and usually also moral right not to perform their jobs -- IF they're willing to not get paid.

Unlikely, IMO.... https://www.spotrac.com/nba/miami-heat/cap/2024/

That's their cap sheet for next year. Right now they have $30.1M below the projected 2nd apron. Brogdon's $22.5M would put them right against it without being able to make any other real signings. This also includes Martin at a $7M player option he seems likely to decline and need to be re-signed or replaced for more money.

Historically MIA has been pretty cheap. I doubt they'd take on the extra year of money and give up picks to go from Lowry to Brogdon. Especially when that large expiring could be more useful in a deal for a star that might come available mid year (you never know).

Maybe midseason if Brogdon looks healthy, MIA is looking fierce themselves despite a big lack of production at PG, then maybe they do that deal. But for now I think they're in a wait and see stance unless a real star is available.

Not me. I want Harden to stink it up in Philly and make everyone just want to quit.

When was the last time that the Celts had 4 7'0+ players available to them. Porzingis, Kornet, Queta and now Kelly (available to some degree)? I think between Porzingis, Horford, Queta and Kornet, we should be good if we play a one big lineup against most teams and two big against the Embiids and Giannis of the league. Also, let Horford take off back to backs and bring in Queta for those games.
