Woj Bomb!! James Harden traded to the LA Clippers!! It's happening!!!

[Arsenal]

Fortuitous timing for this trade as well because now we have evidence that Maxey is blossoming into a true star. Hopefully that gets us to avoid a dumb trade like Lavine. We should be trying to find our own version of the Aaron Gordon trade that pushed Denver over the top.

Underreported part of this deal, it appears we re-acquired stormi as part of the trade.

I think he sense Tobias' impending doom. Once he's gone, Stormi will be fully back. Although I'd prefer for him to be back now.

Forget about it. Assassin is going to be unleashed now!

[Arsenal]

In theory I’d like an OG trade, however if Maxey and Embiid come up lame in a playoff game or two, we have zero players on this team that can take the reins and generate offense.

We can fix that problem next summer with cap space and picks to trade if needed. This year is all about Embiid + Maxey + Tobias in Nurse's new offensive system.

I would be wary of an OG trade though as I get the sense he's going to want way more money than he's worth.

The biggest winner of the Soften trade?

Assassin. He's now gonna be unleashed in a contract year!

Apparently he also wants a larger role in the offense.

In reality if both Maxey and Embiid come up short we might as well blow it up regardless of what other players we have.

I mean, if two of Embiid, Harden, Maxey or Tobias showed up in a big way when the other two were down, we would have won the series again the Celtics. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Maxey and/or Embiid having an off game in the playoffs.

Lol Korkmaz asked to be part of the trade and both the Sixers and Clippers passed.

The Sixers want to keep him, but not play him. And the Clippers don’t want him. Poor guy lol

[Dude-niagara]

My dark horse prediction on who we trade for with these picks: Keldon Johnson.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Martin, an expiring, and a first to Toronto for OG.

Keep dreaming, Masai not trading OG to Philly for trash returns

[Murray_17]

So, the only guys on contracts that extend to the next season right now are Maxey, Joel and Springer.

It took 3 seasons but Morey finally cleaned the entire situation of the team lol

Dude is an epic troll. He's low on Wemby on the GB lol.

I'm actually one of the most intelligent people on this forum and my takes are right more often than anyone else.

For a decade I've been telling you kids 'I told you so' till I go blue in the face.

But you keep dreaming of an Embiid led team getting that magical piece with your new 'assets'.

Just though of this, the Clippers core when that 2028 pick comes up:
Harden 38
PGeorge 37
Kawhi 36
Westbrook 38
Zubac 30
Mann 31
Powell 34

And they have no assets other than potential cap space in that time to get better.

Unless you think a team of
Hyland 27
Miller 27
Primo 24
Brown 27
Zumac 30
Is capable of doing anything that has a high high chance of being a good pick because if this implodes due to personalities or age, the Clippers have just got to hope that 2 max players want to come in the same offseason.

I’m hoping Masai pays him the max so Toronto can continue to spiral into mediocrity for the next 5-7 years. Hopefully the Toronto fans will all simultaneously jump off the bandwagon again and we won’t have to see them on our board anymore.

Balmer's pockets are deeeeeep

i doubt they ever really fully bottom out.

Even that 2026 pick is super intriguing. Even OKC fans say that it is probably their highest rate pick of the 100 that they have in the upcoming years.
It so weird that there are no details of that specific transaction, I honestly don't expect us to completely inherit that pick unprotected. We and the Clippers do not have anything of value that would entice OKC imo.

[sixers hoops]

Considering Harden has limited value, this was a pretty solid return.

We don’t have our 2025 or 2027 picks, but we have extra 2026 and 2028 picks. Ultimately, we break even with picks going forward.

Incorrect. Maxey will expire and only his RFA caphold of $13m will be on the books.

That plus Embiid, Springer and Reed. Total of $76m of salary, leaving $64m of open cap space I believe.

Enough for one star (Siakam?) plus 2 - 3 good role players. Then one more role player via the tMLE. Then can resign Oubre for up to the MLE with an exception. Then resign Maxey to his MAX deal after all of that.

Oh true i was assuming Maxey is getting re-signed next season as a guarantee. Reed is no guarantee contract if we don't win the first round (which with the current roster is still possible)

My front runner is still strongly DeRozan. Morey will have to convince him to sign in the off-season to a friendly deal to close out his career and have a fighters chance at a championship (thus solidifying his HOF bid).

If we can get Carusso along with Demar, sign me up
