Sixers Offseason Thread Part 3

[Slacktard]

At C, Mo Bamba signed yet and he can shoot 3s and block shots. Something to distinguish him from other backup Cs. I have to guess he'll get a decent deal somewhere...

We're not realistically going to get Bobi here again but man I loved that guy while he was here.

Mo Bamba always played better against us than the rest of the league lol.

Mo Bamba career
18 MPG, 7.5 PPG, 35.9 3PT% (0.9 made per game), 4.6 REB

Mo Bamba career against Sixers
20.7 MPG, 9.3 PPG, 46.5 3PT% (1.5 made per game), 4.8 REB

Mo Bamba would help tremendously here I like the fit and background he has with Embiid. I like him over Reed actually.

[Stanford]

Mo Bamba feels like a guy we'd all hate by the end of the season.

I would be a little excited to get him though.

[LeonJordanJr24]

Terrance Davis would be ok. I like him but prefer the size of Terrence Ross on this team . Kelly Oubre would be a risky high reward pick up. Getting more lengthy,athletic and adding fearless scoring is key. PJ Washington is a perfect as it gets as a PF next to Embiid but I expect Hornets to match offers on the market.

Bamba is soft and borderline noncompetitive, the unicorn chasing of a rim protector that can hit a 3 is the only thing that keeps him in the league

anything more than the minimum is an overpay

I am probably the furthest from a "Paul Reed Guy" on this board but he kicks Bamba's ass every day of the week

Fits the description of the ideal limited min backup center for Embiid to me...

There seems to be a misconception on this board that Terence Davis is a Nick Nurse guy despite the fact that he was falling out of the rotation as a rookie pre-bubble and then got 10 DNPs before being traded to Sacramento the next year - don't think he'll be a priority FA.

I would imagine that Oubre will get more than the taxpayer MLE, would have to be open to less money and smaller role (unlikely)

Zach Lowe says the Clippers have yet to offer Mann or picks in any offer for Harden and possibly have not even offered Powell.

Of course not. That's the scam nowadays. Demand a trade to only one team so they can lowball and use the media to blackmail the seller into accepting garbage.

Ross is super washed and couldn’t get on the floor for a suns team that desperately needed bodies

I'd have to seriously consider targeting a young talent that hasn't broken out yet in a Harden trade.

Someone like RJ Barrett. The guy is just going to be 23 next year and is coming off a down year so may not cost an arm and a leg to acquire. I could see him having a Jaylen Brown-like trajectory and seriously improving into an impact wing over the next few years.

Any other players like that we should consider?

There is no evidence of Barrett improving to this point, he's the same player he was as a rookie. His extension numbers aren't earthshattering, but at this point his upside looks like Golden State Wiggins-lite

I mentioned him before, but unless he's a complete nutcase, Kevin Porter Jr is definitely worth considering imo. Huge PG, blue chip pedigree, percentages are legit now (50% 2FG, 37% 3FG, 78% FT), STL% at 2.0, TOV% has dropped each year.

Very good C&S player. Models game after Harden, but isn't to his level. Has excellent handles. Needs to keep adding weight.

Only question is his off court issues. Not sure if that's been resolved, but the talent is definitely there.

He's had issues everywhere he's been - USC, Cleveland and Houston not including the drug and gun charges that were dropped in Cleveland after a car accident. All signs point to him being a clown.

That's the only reason we could maybe get Barrett for Harden. If he takes a big jump he'll no longer be available.

The point is we need to have foresight and hit on guys BEFORE they blow up.

Still like Bol as a depth pickup. Someone with a little upside who could cause some match up issues. Not outrageous to think he could find an effective role under a decent coach like Nurse.

BOL for the memes.

Is Morey going to do anything though?

[Negrodamus]

If you don’t think Morey would throw a thicc contract Harden’s way if ownership wasn’t standing in the way, you underestimate Morey’s undying love for James.

The big concern with RJ is that his shooting plateaued/regressed. His career splits show him playing better post-ASG too, which to me is a sign of someone who isn’t working in the summer & plays himself into shape.

[NYSixersFan]

Maybe Morey thinks this is the NFL and you get compensatory picks for losing FA's and not signing any.

Interesting. The whole point of being a stud GM is to figure out the issue and if we can solve it, then pounce on the opportunity while it's undervalued.

Like if we think Nurse and the staff (and teammates like Maxey) can motivate him to work harder in the summer and fix his shooting, he could be an upside play.

We're desperate for a stud wing, and Barrett still has a lot of potential and time to realize it.

[Skates]

Bol and Bamba are fun (potentially fun or funny) guys to contemplate, but someone who plays the 3 and/or 4 would be so awesome, really just a live body at this point.

[Stanford]

Wealthy people do such boring ****. That white party is so lame.
