That would be the only thing that would really get me to abandon this team.

If he stays out of trouble and they put relevant morals clauses in a contract, I’d be fine with it.

Willing to give him a second chance. Plus he could be a great fit since we really need athletic big wings.

Ainge is a piece of work. Reed has veto power on any trade this year lol.

F it. Let's sign Christian Wood now.

Louis King is up next. Need to keep 6'7 PG/SG who crushed G League competition.

Trade Tobias for a package around Buddy Hield (never thought I'd hear myself say that) and run a Maxey, Hield, Harden, Reed, Embiid lineup. Two rim protectors with 3 flamethrowers from deep. Defense might take a hit but offense will be near top in the league. Not my ideal trade for Tobi since his value is somewhat theoretical right now, but it seems most realistic.

Weren't you saying yesterday we shouldn't match? and that we should have S&T him?:lol:

The off season has been bad yeah, we can be excited to retain one of our little future pieces. For god sake

Never said you couldn't be excited. It's the fact that this is what Sixers fans need to cling to, to be excited is what's sad. And by sad, not from a fan's perspective, but from the team's perspective. That they haven't given the fans one single morsel of anything else to be excited about.

You always try to "gotcha" me and every single time you always come up short. I actually am routinely entertained by it. Maybe one of these days you'll get me 8-)

If they can get him to be effective next to Embiid, you could wish upon a star to flip Tobi for one of the FA wings next year and you would actually have a decent lineup.

Embiid
BBall / Tucker
Brown or Kawhi or PG
Maxey
Harden

Fill out the rest of the roster with former Rockets or Raptors and you got yourself a team.

And you might be thinking, did it ever work for the Knicks to clear cap space for a big FA signing? Of course not, they somehow delude themselves to thinking it might, but... it might work for us.

I mean you also need to consider that Bamba is on the MINIMUM. It's not like he was a high priced sign they have to justify major minutes on.

If we do this then we need to trade a guard for a forward to balance the roster. My dream would be Melton for Kyle Anderson, but doubt the Wolves do it.

Yeah, being excited about retaining a guy everyone love is sad :lol:

Sorry we're not twisting onto pretzels to criticize Morey for everything

It prevents the matching team from using the matched offer as a free way of doing a sign and trade. It is more to prevent mischief on behalf of the matching team like matching the offer then dumping the player in a terrible situation with another team, possibly in a retaliatory fashion.

Encourages teams to negotiate with their potential RFA’s and/or do a mutually agreeable sign and trade before an offer sheet is signed. Hence the one season limitation, it is meant to maintain an even balance in the process and prevent it being circumvented.

For whatever reason, I feel like Morey is going to have a tough time parting from Melton, but I agree.

We could do Tobi and Kork for Hield, Theis, Nwora, and Nesmith. Adds some youth and depth at F.

I actually feel like Hield has been such a scapegoat as a non-defender chucker that his value has been severely underrated. If you watch some of his clips, there are few off-ball scorers in the league who works as hard as he does to get open. Also very underrated as a passer and deflection generator. I'm willing to go smaller to get a guy who fits well with Harden (if the plan is to bring him back).

I would like Louis King on a partially guaranteed NBA deal then a veteran wing to round out the roster barring any trades. With three two way spots it is all the more reason teams will go with 14 man rosters if they are in tax territory. More guys to call up if the bench gets short with a raft of injuries and roster flexibility in trades down the line.

Happy to see that B-ball Paul has been signed and delivered. I believe the goal is to transform him into the starting PF, when that happens this contract is going to seem like peanuts. Secondly like others have said give that man Louis "Nothing but Net" King some partially guaranteed cash.

DCasey91 · Post #1596 » by **DCasey91** » Mon Jul 10, 2023 4:36 am

Happy we matched and the owner ain’t that stingy but it’s now a logjam with 4 bigs that’s an over abundance on the list.

Ben Taylor mentioned this very same thing on one of his vids whereby NBA teams routinely over compensate for that position where you can get an acceptable rotational big for peanuts (we’ve done the same past years with Drummond/Howard).

The Harrell/Bamba signing is more of a head scratcher lol.

Skates · Post #1597 » by **Skates** » Mon Jul 10, 2023 4:43 am

I liked the Bamba signing to avoid our end of the year signing of tall old guys that can’t play. Harrell’s re-signing had to be part of his opting out and saved the team a few bucks and tax/cap space. Even with Harrell and Reed last year we signed Dedmon because Harrell is basically unplayable. Bamba fills that spot and Harrell becomes a trade throw in and minimal salary match help in a trade when not waving a towel.

DCasey91 · Post #1598 » by **DCasey91** » Mon Jul 10, 2023 4:45 am

This is a classic Sixers setup. 2G brain what’s a wing? Nah let’s get bigs or smalls. Like last season and the one before that lmao

And Harrell will have a better attitude this year. But I can't put all the blame on him. Doc feed him the notion that he could be the backup center. Even though everyone was screaming for Paul Reed. Doc continued to play Harrell over Reed whenever he could, until it was evident to all that Reed earned that position. But that could not have been a positive locker room situation for these two players.

If that's true, moving one of Harrell, Mamba or House with Kork puts you below the tax if you dump the return..

Not that difficult to do IMO
