You're strawmanning, stop.

You posted a tweet from an anonymous nobody and said "Now Springer is being shopped."

I said "We don't know that he's being shopped." Which is factually correct.

What you've chosen to believe =/= truth. It's just what you've chosen to believe. But no one knows for certain if he's being shopped. Especially when it hasn't come from one of the prominent insiders.

Been saying it for weeks. Please turn Harden into Pascal! Then turn Tobias into role players.

I know he occupies the post too, but he can facilitate and create offense in the playoffs unlike Joel. Maxey is still an unknown in that regard and anything he adds is a bonus.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he were being shopped. Connecting the dots… I’m guessing that Springer and Korkmaz get offered to a team below the cap to get us below the tax line. That would take us from $5.8 million over to almost $2 million under.

If we think that Harris is still expecting Morey to get below the tax, then Springer get moved makes sense.

If we think that Harris has agreed to pay the luxury tax, then they likely wouldn’t be actively shopping Springer.

Turning Harden into Siakam would probably be the best outcome we can hope for. Hope the Nurse + Embiid/Cameroon connection can tamper us home!

I wouldn't be shocked either. I wouldn't be shocked anyone not named Embiid is being shopped. No one on this team besides him is untouchable. I don't even think Maxey is, I think that's just posturing.

I haven’t seen enough of him to know how he would fit, but a lot of the mock trades for Siakim to the Sixers don’t seem too enticing for Toronto. You would think somebody else could offer a better package.

The guy I have shared, has provided information that's pretty close to what has happened or has actually happened. If it doesn't happen great. But if it does it's dumb from the Sixers end. This franchise does nothing but make dumb decisions, so it wouldn't surprise me if they are choosing to do this. They have a history of letting young talent go. He could be wrong you're right, but again, instead of having fun with it, you act like it can't be brought to the board or discussed at all. I never said it was 100% happening. We havent' verified if this guy is legit, but he's also not like that parody account from vin fosh.

If this takes months, then the Harden thing takes months. I don't think the Harden thing gets resolved until this does.

There are two prominent insiders. Woj and Shams. They have been wrong as well, and they have also been fed lies. Woj said till the very end that we weren't getting Harden. It turned out to be Windy who was right. There are no prominent insiders. They all can be wrong.

Never thought this was even remotely realistic, but for those who wanted cap room next summer for Brown, it's looking like he'll strike a deal soon.

A prominent insider would never bother reporting on rumors about a player as irrelevant as Jaden Springer lol

Outside of Maxey, we don't have any real assets to trade for Siakam, especially considering how Masai always looks for a king's ransom in any trade.

I’ll just say, I have followed that guy for two posts and he is 2 for 2. My initial instinct was that Reed’s contract would not be matched because I know we have an owner who is concerned about the luxury tax. In addition, Woj mentioned the luxury tax in his tweet, which means whoever fed Woj the story raised the issue. I’ll give that guy Adam credit on that one, although it was a coin flip to get the right outcome.

I feel like Melton fits into what Nurse likes to do moreso than PJ, and I don't think he gives a **** about being small. Ball pressure and forcing turnovers. PJ is still a good man defender, but has zero range in terms of help defense with his lack of length and athleticism.

By no means do I think it'll be easy, but ideal. This is where Morey has to cash in despite being dealt a bad hand yet again. I also think if the play is 2024 free agency, then this fast-forwards us to that since we'd be getting the best 2024 FA not named LeBron, Kawhi, or George (which are all arguable and have POs. I expect Jaylen to stay a Celtic).

Pleasantly surprised to see that we matched the offersheet for Paul Reed. I thought he was a goner. Now Nurse better play him in a 20+ mpg role to get bang out of the buck.
