When is the last time we got a quality buy out player?

Belinelli/Ersan.

I doubt the Sixers get anyone of note. They all almost always go to LA, Miami, or the latest perceived title favorite.

They didn't ignore it. That bum has no value. They'd have to send out picks to get rid of him.

Dedmon?

He’s being waived by Spurs.

That was fun? Any offense ran through Ben Simmons hasn't been fun to watch.

For me it was lol. That team was exciting because we still held out hope for Ben. Ersan was taking charges and hitting shots. Marco was hitting all kind of unbalanced shots in the playoffs and our expectations weren't that high

Sorry just waking up… we ducked the tax then? Even if we add a buy out guy?

And frankly, if people think this is a wasted season, why would anyone even watch the games? Seems like a big waste of time to me.

Being a loyal fan despite a lack of success is a hard job.

1983

I’m also a loyal Flyers fan.

I watch because I am a loyal fan.

I question moves, coaches, mgmt, ownership because I’m a fan.

Why do Browns fans and Lions fans pay for season tickets every year?

Are you entertained while watching? If you're enjoying the games and watching, then it makes a whole lot more sense.

Entertainment is a vague term

I’m very interested but not always entertained.

Doc doesn’t entertain me. He ruins some of the potential “entertainment” value with him just being him.

But yeah, it’s entertaining.

Fan since 1976

I would be surprised if some team sign him. He looks absolutely done

Who on our team is eligible to cut ?

PhillyFan11 · Post #735 » by **PhillyFan11** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 10:25 pm

Will Barton is apparently going to get bought out. Would be a perfect fit, but these things usually don’t work out for the Sixers somehow.

Adding McDaniels, Barton, and Dedmon would actually be a great deadline

If you think that's bad, wait till you find out what Paul George did to Austin's dad/sister and they still traded for Paul.

(And Doc Rivers will get blamed for it, even though this is the 2nd straight year the GM enabled this by giving him washed up veterans to keep playing. He didn't have to sign Harrell or Jordan. He chose to.)

Morey's mistake was keeping Rivers last off season and then doubling down by giving him the players he wanted. Are you seriously suggesting that Rivers didn't have major input into the Jordan and Harrell signings?

Arsenal · Post #738 » by **Arsenal** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 10:47 pm

Gotta get Dedmon or Noel. Would prefer they waived Harrell so as not to tempt Doc. Who knows, he may ask out if we replace him with a buyout center as the primary backup.

I still think Morey would not be allowed to fire Doc before this upcoming offseason. That cheap bastard Josh Harris wouldn't allow it.

Now if we flameout again, Doc's ass could be on the line since he'll only have 2 years left on his deal.

Serge Ibaka or Dedmond are my guesses Morey will go after. Guys like Terrence Ross and Will Barton are not likely . Another guy more might look at is Beverly who played well with Harden in Houston. With Maxey and Harden being atrocious on defense you need another on ball defender to help Melton out
