This team doesn't need much.. maybe a Brogdan. Dejaunte Murray ain't a good fit with Maxey and Embiid. They need a scoring wing /Guard.

Markonen for Tobias should be looked at tho it makes us better.

We can get most of what we lack for dirt cheap, just sign Mac McClung and Scottie Lewis and we get another dimension in Playoffs.

The General and Trade Boards think it's likely Siakim plans to sign with the Sixers since the news came out that he plans to explore free agency no matter who trades for him.

Correct me if im wrong.

Sixers should be the front runner now to sign for Siakam.

Other contenders are the Pistons, which is a wasteland. And Pacers, who can only sign him for 35-36M per year.

Pacers or Kings would have interest and of course if they trade for him, would have his bird rights and can max him out... Even if that means going into luxury tax.

Clearly free agency is not an option for Philly though

Siakam does not fit here with Embiid offensively.

Not even a little bit.

He would also take the ball out of Maxey's hands too often.

Let's help ATL get him and take back Murray and Hunter.

Toronto clearly does not want to max him out or else they'd have done it.

Detroit, on the other hand, will throw in the kitchen sink to get some talent on board. And Siakam seems to be prioritizing money over winning, so no reason he wouldn't sign there. He can always demand a trade later, if need be.

Fine. The dude in question is from like Iowa or somewhere close by in the Midwest. It's not unexpected.

If you guys all hate it so much, it makes me want to start posting them.

Honestly, him posting a joke like that tells me he's a douche. I wouldn't follow him in any other time in human history, but for some reason in this day in age you'll miss if you don't follow these types.

We should trade our picks plus Tobias for Lauri, try to get also Clarkson if possible.

It would also leave us with cap space to bring a good FA next offseason.

I think that's by far our best possible move, Lauri is a decent defender and good scorer that doesnt need the ball much and spaces the floor.

Problem is Ainge is Jazz GM so hes going to ask for a lot.

I don’t think we need pure spacing as much as more secondary playmaking. Somebody to help Maxey out in those Embiid-less minutes/games. A healthy Brogdon to me would be pretty perfect.

You know the fact that Ainge can see that Philly would be throwing all they have, never know?

Going back to Murray.

While there are other good options out there. The fact that he's locked up on a new extension averaging less than 30 million has to be a little attractive to Morey.

Plus he's 27, can be a 2 way player. One that could fit in as a high level role player or truly get you 40 vs good defenses.

If you can keep Tobi, that could eliminate my offensive fears, even if you don't... I would feel better about things because Oubre could do more.

It would cost some serious draft capital, but he's only at 18 million this year. Morris alone could get him.

My only concern is the fact that he's become a fine off ball player, truly. Volume 3s, finish on the move and thriving as a secondary playmaker to a ball dominant pg. He'll be able to move Maxey to what I think should be his main role, as an off ball motion sg secondary play maker. But should be the first guy the team is looking for, and can still handle. A team could play so fast with Oubre and Harris

Yep, weakest era ever, defense is an absolute joke.

Meh. I don't know what you would miss by not following this guy. He's just a writer for the Ricky because Spike has to keep pumping out content for his advertisers.

Is there like some hidden offensive thing in that tweet? It’s a dumb joke why get upset over it. Reminds me of what Twitter used to be in like 2010 before it devolved into a cesspool.

You definitely don’t have to follow anyone on Twitter. Even if you block Woj or something what’s the worst that can happen you find out about a trade like 20 seconds after he tweets it.

How is this possible when scores of games in the 60's were routinely 150-140? Is it that the pace was so fast back then they would use far more than 100 possessions to score those points?
