Sixers Offseason Thread Part 4

What a crappy offseason it's been. I mean...Patrick Beverly and a bunch of disgruntled players. I just hope Harden didn't get into Joels ear too much over the summer.

Highly likely that the Knicks have been tampering like crazy with Embiid.

They certainly can be. One can win MVP and develop a feeling of satisfaction/complacency. Anything after the award could be viewed as gravy. That's for sure the vibe I got in these past playoffs from Joel.

they don't have to be, but when you prioritize one at the expense of the other, it's not a good look to be complaining about wanting to win it all elsewhere literally during the summer you won the league MVP.

I don't understand how him winning MVP came at the expense of us winning a championship.

...unless we're blaming the ceremony for that one home loss?

This sounds like a threat leaked by Harden's camp for the Sixers to hear.

They shouldn't trade him there out of spite. Let him come in 300 lbs and destroy his value if that's what he wants.

Tbf I think Fat Harden balled out for his first couple games back as a Rocket.

I could get a kick out of watching Fat Harden

I don't really buy it either. I think you could make a reasonable argument that the way Drew Hanlen has approached his development is better suited for regular season than the playoffs, but I don't think that was intentional.

I hope Morey doesn't get sassy and tries to drag this thing out hoping harden plays and changes his mind. Just get rid of him and get the best deal rn. I don't want harden,Tobias,Tucker or Korkmaz here on day 1 of training camp.

I'm sure Morey will be taking your feelings into consideration when making this pivotal trade.

If Harden comes to camp fat, that might be the end of his career. One more hamstring injury & he’s gonna lose any athleticism he has left.

Maybe the move is to win MVP in an apathetic city like Denver. That way when you don't make it past the second round, everyone doesn't completely spoil the experience for you.

This doesn't make any sense from a Timberwolves perspective.

Disagree

Twolves are going nowhere with Towns

And signing PJ Tucker Daniel House and Harrel to make Harden happy.

How close to all star can morey pull off ? I think getting rental for all star is pretty tall task

LeonJordanJr24 · Post #298 » by **LeonJordanJr24** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 11:31 pm

These the only guys I can think of Lavine,DDR and far away Jaylen Brown ... Even further away Lilliard ...

Decipher · Post #299 » by **Decipher** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 12:02 am

I don’t see why you guys can’t get Dame as he seems to like Joel and you have assets which can be moved to get Portland what they want

Derozan was in the all-star game this past season. I think He has been in it like 5 times. So prob that level of "allstar" also OLD also heading to FA.
