We have a G in Maxey. We should be hunting for a F.


We literally have one ball handler on the team right now. A guard is absolutely needed.
Sure, Sixers could use another ball handler and ideally a bigger G to complement Maxey, but if I have the option to throw big money at a star G or F, I'd rather throw it at the F and spend what's left on the G than the other way around.

Of course, a lot of this depends on what becomes available.

Stay away from big money Gs. Maxey is our bigmoney G.

G (Maxey) - F (our real target) - C (Embiid) - spread the money out.


That’s the sort of thing that I am suggesting

A cheapish guy who can organise the offense for a few minutes at a time

But that's not what the report is.

The report is that we're after a bigfish G.

I hope your team can find a way to replace Harden. Unfortunately you need superstars to win and Joel can't do it by himself.

Maxey is currently better than Harden.

Your going to need three greats to beat the Celtics. They have the most talent in the NBA and if they can stay healthy no one can beat them. Hardens playoff experience will be missed if you get that far. Personally I am not a Harden fan and in the long run your team will be better off without him.

Maybe. I don't really consider the Sixers a contender as currently constructed, but I don't know if another star is the answer vs a well balanced roster.

As for the Celtics, they had the best roster in basketball last year as well, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Firepower is overrated.

The Heat beat the Celtics last year and Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent were their 2nd and 3rd leading scorers.

Now that Maxey is showing he is better than LaVine and do so while playing a winning brand of basketball, I don't want anything to do with LaVine.

Umm Jokic and the Nuggets… since when has Porzingis been “great”. Brown also against us, great early on no doubt super mid after.

Jokic is the most complete offensive player ever.

Talent, ask the Clips how that’s going. They were betting favourites not once but twice in 2 different seasons

Long gone now is just over stacking and expecting to win it all.

It's been a crazy day of trades for me and Josh Harris....Harden, Chase Young and Montez Sweat...

Been processing this Harden trade and I'm shocked we got as much as we did. the 2026 pick is a good one.

I actually don't want to trade all these picks...I don't think we need a "star". We need a couple of good/very good players.

I'm think of guys like....

Demar DeRozen
Zach Lavine
Mikael Brides
OG Anunoby
Gordan Hayward
Malcolm Brogdan

I want a starting caliber SF and someone better than Melton. Plus a backup Center like Kelly Olynyk. I was wrong about Bamba and we need more than just Reed.

Targets:
OG
Siakam
Hayward
Ingram

Those stand out the most. After that there’s the duo of Brogdon/Williams.

Hayward can still ball, smart IQ player

Lavine heck no look at that contract yuck.

Anyone know if we picked up Springer's option? Haven't seen it reported. Deadline is today

Yes they did. Kyle Neubeck reported it.

If Green was getting minutes ahead of Korkmaz... why wasn't Korkmaz waived instead?

If Korkmaz has any trade value, then why wasn't he shipped out to... anywhere for a 2nd to make room for the 4th incoming player?

Seems like we just got deeper at Korkmaz's position, so he's even less likely to get minutes.

Kork’s deal can be used as salary ballast in a trade. That’s reason enough to keep him over Green.
