I would have taken the Scottie Barnes for Harden deal, but Morey thinks the picks are more valuable at the moment. TBD!


Lol i promise that was never on the table.

Harden fits the Clips timeline better because of the trio all being FA's next year, and now that they have traded an unprotected first to us, along with other picks they already moved, Ballmer will happily cut ridiculous checks to all three if they are remotely healthy. Harden is almost guaranteed to get a bag next summer because the Clips can't afford a rebuild with minimal future picks and no young stars.

I expect one of the older vets the Sixers picked up to up their game, it happens with a change in scenery and system. Martin is an athletic energy guy that will compete with House for those spots. No new guards to push Springer farther down the depth chart for now.

The funniest read of the day was some guy on ESPN noting how easily Harden would adapt to playing off the ball with Westbrook playing point, and this guy was giving out betting advice, lol.

No. Only Scottie for KD / Lillard. But he never was on the table for each.

I read somewhere that its the worst of OKC's picks in 2026. Assuming this is true, its close to impossible to figure out since their 26 picks depend a lot on whether their 25 picks are deferred due to protections. But it involves some combination of LAC, PHI, MIA, HOU, and OKCs own pick. I wouldnt count on much more than a low first rounder for this pick, but the unprotected 28 could be great.

Try PHLY. It's a new site/channel which has shows for all the major Philly teams. Bodner/Neubeck already have a podcast on the trade:

I could see us making another mid-season move with one of these picks to acquire a guy like Brogdon. Keeps us in the mix this year and helps placate Embiid until we can make additional moves over to re-tool over the summer.

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


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.


When was the last time you won a title again? I think Raptors were not even around because I was cheering for DR J, that was a very good team. But nothing since, Raptors at least got a chip in 2018-19 season.

I think Morey did good job getting max assets for a player (Harden) on expiring contract

Neubeck says Morris isn't expected to play much here, if at all.

Remember when Kawhi re-signed with the Raptors on the heels the championship because it was such an excellent place to live with the greatest fans in the world? I think Toronto went on to win 2, maybe 3 more championships under Kawhi's leadership and are still racking them up to this day.

It's no wonder the greatest fans in the world spill out of their overflowing forums to speak to other fans. They have so much to brag about.

As a corner shooter and finisher around the rim, I think Roco can be better than Tucker. Not a high standard to begin with.

I enjoy Rights to Ricky Sanchez by Spike Eskin more, recently. Fun, informative and I find them to have more out of the box thinking.

I’m not considering this trade a lock until Vin Fosh reports it.

With how Maxey is playing, I wouldnt want Lavine.

It’s still my belief that you need to have diverse weapons on offense with a lot of ball/player movement to win the championship. And you wont get that with Lavine.

Hell.. if you want Lavine, why not just go for Cam Thomas?

If Maxey can keep this level of play, im actually starting to feel good moving forward with the Biid/Maxey duo plus a ton of cap space and a good haul of picks to bring another star and some good complementary role players.

Morey is no bum, he has played a good hand in both the Simmons and the Harden drama.

Hope we can get a star wing and a above average guard.
