Any chance you guys maybe interested in Mason Plumlee?

Mark Williams is about to breakout once Plumlee is traded. Nick Richards is also a very competent back-up.

Im OK with Plumlee if he plays on limited minutes and he’s a lot better than Harrell and Reed.

He could be had for very cheap, now that Lakers are out of the picture.

Oh about the Lakers, it's all a plan to help Lebron as much as possible, it should be evident.

Now that Lakers is done.

Who are we competing for search for a back-up big?

The only guy that can help this team win a championship is Kevin Durant not sure what you have to give up to get him but get it done tomorrow otherwise this team is going out in the second round.

Doesnt it make you wonder how we still need Durant despite already having Harden and Embiid.

And I dont know how we dont have a very talented players around Harden and Biid, because Maxey and Tobias are the most talented 3rd and 4th option out there respectively.

Plumlee would be a good backup.

Harden is not the Harden of 3 years ago. He’s good but he can’t take over anymore and Joel is just not a late game performer. All the other rumors you’re hearing about guys won’t even get us a the second round win. Yoy need a difference maker - a Hall of Fame type player to make it to the finals and that’s Kevin Durant. If we get some other mid-level player we are still going out in the second round. Have to make a big splash the time to strike is right now. Harden will only get worse as time goes on and he might not even be here next year.

Sure but he doesn’t move the needle. We are not even in the same stratospheres with Milwaukee or Boston we need to make a big splash before the deadline tomorrow

Durant is impossible to get. It’s a pipe dream

Yeah. He can provide stability in the very unstable back-up C position. He’s also been a good passer, solid and is a good rebounder. Thats pretty much just what you need at back-up C. You dont need that much switchable C because we’re playing a drop scheme on defense.

Hornets does not need Plumlee and is desperate to let him go. The only thing standing in the way is he has a 9M expiring which I’d think they’d look at as a positive asset.

Im not a fan of Embiid or Maxey. But I think we’re even at a higher “stratosphere” with Bucks and Boston

OG Anunoby is only an option if Harris/Maxey go out. I'd personally rather have Siakam.

From bottom of the league to barely play in.

Too many things need to go right for LA. LeBron's ankle is in trouble. AD is a mopey bitch. DLO is LOL!

There's a better chance the Lakers are in the top 6 of the West after this deal than there is of them in the bottom 5.

The Knicks are dumb and Portland is dumb too

Unfortunately we're just as dumb. Keeping Glenn Rivers as coach. Thinking PJ would work out. Thinking Harrell would be our go to bench big man. Ruining Maxey. Embiid and Harden emo days. I'm so sick of this team. Actually want them to fail in the playoffs so they blow it the **** up, because this ain't it.

Siakam and Jo is a bad, bad fit. Plus Masai will want Maxey and the 2029 1st and swaps. And for what? So the Sixers can still go out in the 2nd round?

Bingo. Morey's evaluation algorithm is failing. Perhaps walking out into the box to watch the game would help.

You know, his job.

Sixers should get Aron Baynes from the NBL. He's healthy again and would be one of the best backup big men in the league, and can play as a starter if Embidd goes down. They'd get him for nothing.

After we trade Thybulle tomorrow, we unfortunately have a "no Australians" policy on the team.

Plumlee would be awesome as a vet minimum signing or MLE signing over the summer. Not a guy I'm willing to waste a draft pick on to acquire in-season, though.

If the Hornets are willing to do a player swap of Plumlee for Korkmaz/Thybulle, sure.
