76ers 2023-24 Season Thread Part 1

[Covi_Marsh]

Can we please stop talking about Brogdon. His knees are made of tissue paper, he is unbelievably injury prone.

I thought he had a shoulder problem? He got bad knees too?

[76ciology]

OG and Jerami Grant are the only guys that make sense to me.

Maxey is your G, so wipe all the other G targets off the board.

I like that idea, I still worry about scoring a little, but I think if Maxey and Embiid fire we'd be fine.

Nuggets won the championship with Jamal Murray and Jokic as their top scorers. Warriors with Steph and Klay. We can do it!

We just need to involve others, it will ease up the defense on Maxey and Embiid.

He already got arthritis because of old age

[Covi_Marsh]

Jerami Grant turned down more money from Denver to got Detroit and be the main guy. Got traded to Portland to become the 2nd guy and signed an extension knowing Dame could be on his way out. Are we sure he’s gonna be okay coming back to Philly to be just a defensive stopper. 3rd option behind Maxey and Embiid? Could have stayed in Denver and been Aaron Gordon.

Yes, because he got paid already. Its part of a MID player’s journey.

Once OG and Siakam also got paid they would be fine to play a role for a winning team.

The guy you mentioned, Aaron Gordon, had a similar journey with the Magic.

If Masai dont play fair..

And to escape bidding competition. Inspired from this scene from the beautiful mind

Trade for Lavine and Jerami Grant. This easily solves scoring problem and size at the 3-4 position. We also wouldnt need to use up all our draft picks.

Maxey
Lavine
Tobias
Jerami Grant
Embiid

Spoiler:

Portland:
Paul Reed
Melton (8M expiring)
10M expiring (House and Korkmaz)
2026 OKC 1st round pick
- cap relief and pick
- similar to the dame/jrue trade, downgrade and pick compensation

Bulls:
42M expiring (Batum, Roco, Morris and Mo Bamba)
2024 Bucks 1st round pick (via Pels)
2028 Clippers 1st round pick
2029 Sixers 1st round pick
- cap relief and picks

Pelicans
2029 LAC pick swap option

Sixers:
Zach Lavine
Jerami Grant
Andre Drummond

Tyrese Maxey/Pat Beverly
Zach Lavine/Jaden Springer
Tobias Harris/Kelly Oubre
Jerami Grant/KJ Martin Jr
Joel Embiid/Andre Drummond

Unfortunately unlike those 2 examples, Joel hasn't yet proven he can be a dominant scorer in the playoffs consistently. Maxey is still up and coming. But, possible.

However best to stack the odds. Boston basically has 4 all stars, Milwaukee 3-4 that play at that level depending on Middleton health.

Grant and Lavine fit perfectly. I also truly don't believe Grant would require too many assets. I would try like 3 second rounders and expiring deals

Trading before the deadline should be a priority, so that it's possible to maybe keep Melton or something

Well, there’s no point in treating a franchise player as a franchise player when he’s not reliable in the playoffs.

how much more talent does Embiid need? Thats probably why he opted to play for the US in the olympics than for France.

If Philly blows it up, whatever.... But doesn't seem like that's their mindset. They all want to believe it because they're all in for a ring. Morey is there for a ring for sure. But you gotta see things as they are. Joel has a history

I think its early to blow it up and the best play here to keep competing with Jo until we ran out of option.

Morey did a good job compounding cap space and picks as a fallback if the Harden plan fails.

If you look around the league there’s also only a few teams that can compete with us, not just because of assets but with the type of assets that is available.

There’s no Giannis or Dame that Heat or Knicks want. I dont know if they’re interested with the assets that are available out there.

Thoughts on Julius Randall?

Lols i was just checking on him because of that thread on GB. Im thinking of giving up expiring (morris+roco) then we send them a swap in 2029, where they give us a real first round pick.

I’d rather let Tobi and Oubre throw hail marys than having Randle take those shots lol

I find Morey to be picky to a players points per shot.

He's not ideal. But he's a forward. I think he fits like Pascal fits

I mean he's a guy that can create offense for himself and others. 3rd option is where he should be

[GutUNC]

Jerami Grant's contract is poison. We're finally freeing ourselves of Tobi's contract, I have no interest in tying ourselves to the 80% version of that.

Randle needs the ball to be effective. And even then he's not always effective. He's fake good, just like Siakam. Avoid.

However, Quentin Grimes is a guy worth getting if you want to pluck someone out of NY.

[Covi_Marsh]

Y’all saw Brooklyn Nets setting picks trying to get switched on Lavine down the stretch of last nights game? Gives me flash backs of Kevin Huerter vs Seth Curry. Miles Bridges is a great player but he should not be dribbling around you to get to the rim lol

[Covi_Marsh]

Julius Randle is costing Knicks games right now. I know he’ll not as bad as he’s been start of this season but I’m sure Knicks would love to get off that contract.

Read on Twitter

[Stanford]

Think he's still available for Embiid?

Quentin Grimes would be a great get. Knicks trying to sell off picks, Quickley & RJ Barrett. They’ve been hiding Grimes in any rumors I’ve seen lol.

[Kobblehead]

Im watching this Grizz-Blazers team.

Blazers actually look good without scoot.

Brogdon
Sharpe
Camara
Jerami Grant
Ayton

But this is against league worst Grizz and with the refs wanting close games in this in game season tournament BS

They'll be even better when Simons comes back in at PG.
