I feel like Terence Davis might be on the table for us since he hasn't signed anywhere yet. Nick Nurse guy. 3&D guy who would defend between 1-3. Feels likea. Morey guy too.

Wild here we are half a year since the deadline and the Magic have parted ways with both Bamba and Bol.

I mean, he's pissed at Morey and the front office. Not the players or Rubin. This doesn't seem very odd to me.

We need a straight bomber and Davis fits the bill. Hope Nurse can get his D up to snuff which would make him a valuable role player.

Michael Rubin coming through with secret payments? It's about time we took advantage via underhanded tactics lol.

I've been whining for Bol Bol and Terrence Davis for the last three months. It's going to be very depressing watching both of them sign with the Celtics.

I always figured that Rubin was a big part of both the tampering we got caught with and the Harden tampering that wasn’t officially punished, but prolly lead to the later penalties.

You and I being mad is totally different than a bunch of guys making tens of millions being mad. We spout idiocy on message boards, they have their agents/Dad agents leak hurt feelings to the media.

What will it take for Bol to be Sixers?

Arsenal · Post #753 » by **Arsenal** » Tue Jul 4, 2023 11:26 pm

Why does everyone want Bol Bol? Is he dominating in a game right now?

Or just because he's the son of Sixers legend Manute?

To be an aged former Rocket willing to take a vet minimum deal, those are the usual requirements.

I just don’t think we have any shot to win, even if Harden comes back. On a one year deal, I’d take it though. Harden has been on a slow decline, so I’m pretty confident Lillard would be the better option the next two or three years, but to give up Maxey and have Lillard play with an even worse supporting cast than Harden had, would just continue to lead the team away from a title.

Good organizations develop players, draft well, coach to their advantage, and find undervalued free agents. Overpaying in trades and free agency isn’t sustainable, and that’s Morey’s bread-and-butter.

Trade for James Harden. Now we need a second star, so offer a max to Dwight. Didn’t work… trade for Chris Paul. Didn’t work… trade for Westbrook. Coming to Philly and inherit Embiid. Now need a second star, trade for Harden. Didn’t work… now trade for Lillard? Morey’s best trade, Harden the first time, was the one time he went for a player entering his prime.

Repeatedly taking big swings at older players will wear down an organization as you come up short anyway. Taking on bad monster contracts and sending out multiple first-round picks each time doesn’t allow you to build a good enough roster to win. It’s a good strategy to keep getting to the second round or conference finals.

Bol Bol would provide us with the necessary versatility at multiple positions! He can run the floor like a gazelle on the open plains and block shots with devastating force! Offensively he's got the ability to channel the spirit of his late father by being a full-on locked and loaded sniper assassin from deep. I mean who wouldn't want this athletic marvel on their team canning wide open jumpers from deep while being a speed demon of an air-tight lockdown defender!? With his 7'3" 135-pound frame he should fit nicely as another athletic big next to Joel Embiid. Blessed with an astonishing wing span of 7'8" he should be able to completely lock down the likes of Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton while eventually frustrating them enough to rack up technical fouls which will lead to disqualifications and eventual suspensions from Adam Silver! The offseason is simple now. Sign Bol Bol and win the championship.

This team has such good vibes. Harden’s trade request is baffling.

Maxey/Beverley
Harden/Melton
Tucker/?
Harris/?
Embiid/Reed

Why’d we let McDaniels go again?

Iooks like it's run it back or Harden's fairwell party. I am leaning the former.

Manute made SIX threes in that half... Ben Simmons made FIVE his Sixers career.
