Sixers Offseason Thread Part 4

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

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.

That would be the team to deal with. They have the ammo to get him. Not saying I want that to happen, but they'd be my first choice to deal with.

[FireMorey]

The Sixers would send him to Siberia before trading him within the division lol. He will never see a Knicks uniform one second before he hits free agency.

[Jailblazers7]

Embiid getting traded to the Knicks would really solidify him as the Patrick Ewing of this generation.

Oklahoma City or New Orleans are who you should want to deal with.

The picks the Knicks have aren't that great.

Back on the Towns bandwagon.


LAC out: Mann, Powell, Covington, Batum, 2028 1st, 2030 1st
LAC in: Harden, Tucker, House

PHI out: Harden, Tucker, House, 2029 1st
PHI in: Towns, Powell, Covington, Batum

MIN out: Towns
MIN in: Harris, 2028 LAC 1st, 2029 PHI 1st, 2030 LAC 1st


Maxey/Springer/Beverley
Mann/Powell/Korkmaz
Covington/Batum/(SL dude)
Towns/Reed/Petrusev
Embiid/Bamba/Harrell

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

Disagree

Twolves are going nowhere with Towns

I agree with that. However, my statement that it makes no sense from a Minny perspective is are they really gonna blow it up after 1 year of trying it with Gobert?

Their FO doesn't seem that shrewd. For starters they mortgaged a ton of draft capital for Rudy freaking Gobert in the first place. You really think that they'd break their group up after only 1 season in order to regain draft capital after blowing massive amounts of it only 360 some days prior? While moving KAT is the correct move, their GM won't make sense of that. A franchise like that is probably grinning ear to ear for the opportunity to lose in the first round and sell Anthony Edwards jerseys.

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

If you're really quiet, you can hear JRoy sprinting in to tell you that the Sixers need 11 more first round picks plus 2000 Allen Iverson to start any conversation.

Its ok, we know how to defend him. Push the pace by spamming fastbreaks, put a banger with size at him with a help defender at the rim and also hunt him on defense by letting him go outside the paint.

Regarding Embiid. most of us are just going with the flow. Because the current scenario and the alternative scenario seems to have the same success rate. The later just would take more time but it has a higher ceiling.

So if he asks for a trade, we’ll shop him. Its that simple. Like Embiid said about Harden “i understand its all business”

But if he wants to stay, then we just be professional and patient about it in building a winning team without going overboard and sacrificing our future

[76ciology]

Anyone got any info on Norman Powell?

Seems like he’s a 17-20ppg scorer with great efficiency. But he lacks the ability to create and make his teammates better. He reminds me a lot of Maxey on scoring. He also have some big games in the playoffs. I think he dropped 40 and a near 30pt games in 2023 playoffs.

I think he can replace maxey’s role but he can’t replace the back-up alpha role we need to play with biid.

Maxey
Powell
Tobias
Embiid
^ those four 60% TS% scorers.

Then you run nick nurse system with a lot of dribble drive and ball movement while Reed or Bamba with one of those 4, for solidifying the defense and high percentage pts. And seems like it would be a good team.

Can anyone explain the Petrusev and Tubelis signing? Both will be at the GLeague right?

They probably promised to bring Petrusev over after a stash year.

No explanation for Tubelis. Delaware really wanted him?

Could be why we didnt extend him

I can see the Tubelis angle more, Tubelis can play with another big like how he did in college. His numbers also are great for me.

Seems to me were doing an audition of bigs who can play with Embiid.

Hmmmm. Seems to me we might be near the pinnacle of Maxey’s value.

I don’t really understand what’s going on this off-season, but I still trust in Morey to figure it out.

[Jhawk03]

Imagine being the Pistons, Orlando, Spurs (prior to luckily landing Wemby). Floating through irrelevance without a superstar for 5+ years; waiting to care about a contending team but getting disappointed time and time again.

Yea, let’s trade the MVP and start this dumpster fire over.

I'm surprised this hasn't been quoted yet... only alluded to...

This franchise embraced "the process", and now 40 years without a title at this stage while suffering "the process" in order to avoid going back to being the current version of the Pistons, Orlando, Spurs.

So yea let's trade the MVP, but instead of doing that and starting this dumpster fire over again, lets eventually become the perianal current version of the Pistons, Orlando, Spurs for another 40 years by keeping the MVP until complete failure takes place. Then this franchise can be the GOAT of having the most MVPs to play without ever winning a title... that's now 4 out of 8 MVPs, HALF OF ALL MVPS EVER TO PLAY IN THE NBA WITHOUT A RING WEARING A 76ERS JERSEY.

The pressure is and has always been on a POS franchise and a city running out of scapegoats from top to bottom.

Tubelis is a 2 way. Petrusev is only 50% guaranteed, so it might just be to meet roster requirements while the Harden saga drags out. Fun times

[sixers4real]

Name that I still have in mind is Jaylen Brown. If all of this nothing is for him (and his supermax) I’ll be more then very happy.

[Stanford]

The Knicks don't even have a great package to offer for Harden. Don't know what they could give us for Embiid. Especially if Jo is "focused on a title."

Maybe my reading comprehension is a little off, but are you refuting my point? And is the rebuttal that it’s an embarrassment we’ve had players win the MVP but couldn’t bring home the championship?

You know the Nuggets had a guy win the MVP twice recently with zero titles to show for it. The Mavs had a guy who won the MVP and he didn’t win it all that year. Eventually both Jokic and Dirk won it. As Embiid said, “it’s hard winning it all”. Gotta get the pieces right and they all have to show up for the playoffs. But you absolutely cannot win it all without a superstar. Trading Embiid and waiting for the next superstar is never guaranteed. You might end up with a bunch of Randle’s, Barrett’s, and Brunson’s, but never enough to be a serious contender.

Our future ring after we trade the MVP.
