I'm not convinced Embiid gets us the #1 pick in this draft.
I think Portland might be the only team dumb enough to trade #1 for Jo.
Nah, I actually think JRoy says no.

That's what I'm saying. I think we have to. May I ask how exactly this would be an easy thing to do? It doesn't seem easy. We aren't fooling anyone into giving us anything significant in return for him should we decide to sign and trade him. He's done as a big time player in this league.
It’s an easy thing to do. Houston wants to sign him outright supposedly? Give them a 2nd round pick and say hey let’s make it a S&T. Free 2nd for Houston, they still get Harden for nothing but cap space. Sixers then essentially trade a 2nd to get a massive TPE they can use to add a player (or players?) at a later time.

Ok that's makes sense...At a later time? As in later this summer when free agency hits?

Portland is understandably hesitant on drafting big men.

You might be able to trade for Scoot or Miller tho
Us oweing picks makes any Biid trade risky imo. Its all fun and games until we end up like the Nets and stuck in lottery hell with no picks of our own.
really think they fire Doc, run it back and hope the new coach has some magic up his sleeve lol

FireMorey wrote:They need to blow it up. If they don't realistically the roster won't be much different next year because they don't have the opportunities or assets to make it different. You're looking at Harden gone, trading Barnes for a mediocre starter, and signing another mediocre bench player and that's your team.
There's no clear path to win a title.
Unless the Grizzlies are so fed up with Morant they trade him to the Sixers for something. But even then he's going to be suspended for a lot of the season and who's to say he doesn't keep getting in trouble?

Ugh, it's all the trolls responding, but hey...I'll actually take this one because it's thought out.
My question for you is this...Who exactly are we supposed to run the offense through on this roster? Tyrese Maxey for all the good that he does can not be counted on to do that. James Harden has no lift or quickness anymore and is simply too inconsistent to take on that role at his age. I guess you hope that Maxey evolves into that type of player? It's puzzling to me that your solution to this is to simply trade Embiid and rebuild. You have Harden who is putting on a good poker face, but is clearly going to opt in because NOBODY is going to pay him 30 million dollars much less a max deal. You have Tucker under contract and it's an impossible one to move should we decide to pull a youth movement. Tobias is still on the books and is probably more of a deadline deal type of move if at all.
I just disagree that trading Embiid is a logical option, but at least you added an opinion to this and gave reasons why. I don't see Embiid as the issue here. I think who we've put around him has been the problem. I think paying Tobias Harris 180 million dollars over keeping Jimmy Butler because Ben Simmons wanted the ball has been the problem. I think paying Al Horford a ridiculous amount of money to be a backup to Embiid has been the problem. I think we made the wrong trade when we finally did move Ben Simmons. Getting James Harden was a decent consolation prize to an otherwise disastrous situation, but Harden looked past his prime prior to even coming here. It was expect the worst and hope for the best with him. I think trading Embiid is the final nail in the coffin of what once was The Process. That's cool if you're ready to do that, but some of us see it differently.
Harden will opt out. And if Morey doesn’t pay him Houston will. Let them.
Their last trade package is Maxey, Harris, and a 2029 1st. Who is that going to be the best package for? OG Anunoby? That excite you?
All the mistakes have finally buried them. The way forward is with the bounty received from a Joel trade.
If we trade Joel doesn't that present the risk of becoming a treadmill team again? With the pieces acquired from him paired with what he still have we wouldn't be bad enough for the lottery, but we wouldn't be good enough to compete. Have you forgotten how maddening that was during the mid 2000s with Iverson?
