wow, i would make the move for herb jones for sure.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Herb Jones would be a great addition for sure. Not a player that you overpay for though.

[LeonJordanJr24]

I would target Portland's brogdan.

Covington, Springer, Korkmaz and KJ Martin with picks ...


Embiid/Reed /Bamba
Batum/Morris
Harris / Oubre / House
Brogdan / Melton
Maxey /Bev

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I still say we need an athletic defender and we need rebounding help. Marcus Morris is unplayable in the postseason and can't be counted on. We can go after Caruso and Isaiah Stewart or we can try for Herb Jones who if available, I like very much as another wing to throw out there. Clearly we aren't going to get any kind of help from Robert Covington and as great as Nico Batum has been, he's going to run out of gas at some point. We need to upgrade at either the wing or guard position. I think Malcolm Brogdan is a big time gamble for this team, but if he's the best we can do at the deadline then I'm ok with it.

[PhillyFan11]

I’m all for Herb Jones…but can’t imagine what a trade would look like. Would have to be some sort of a 3 team trade at best. No way the Pels are looking to dump him for a future 1st. Gotta think it would have to involve a young player they think fits better with Ingram and Zion

Unplayable is a little wild lol. Have you seen Boston and Milwaukee benches? I think he can spill Batum for 8-10 mins a game and be alright unless he plays like he did tonight

Dude he didn't see the floor last year with the Clippers in the Suns series and that was without Kawhi and PG. He's regular season depth and that's fine for now. He can get us some points off the bench and lighten the minutes for Jo and Tobias, but come playoff time he's on the pine unless Nurse gets desperate or the matchup is in our favor.

I don't think bench play is as crucial in the playoffs as it is in the regular season. Teams may play 9 guys at the most with 7 of them getting the bulk of the minutes. The playoffs are where your starters make their money. Morris will not be a part of our rotation in the postseason unless we have injuries and if that's the case, we're probably going home early.

Assuming we don't make a trade and we are relatively healthy...Our rotation will be Maxey, Melton, Batum, Tobias, Embiid, Oubre, Reed, Cov(if he's healthy), and Pat Bev. That is why it's crucial for us to add another rotation player for the stretch run. You can't rely on Pat Bev playing big minutes, Nurse isn't going to play anyone on this roster that doesn't slightly resemble a two-way player so guys like Springer, Martin JR, and Morris wont be seeing the floor unless it's dire. That's why Herb Jones, Alex Caruso, Dejounte Murray would be so big for us.

I wonder what's up with him. Sounds like his knee keeps swelling up on him, so I imagine there has to be some underlying problems there. I do think if they can get him healthy he'd be a useful bench piece for them, and potential small ball 5 option when BBall is being bad BBall.

But yeah, with whatever is going on, you can't rely on him being there right now.

[Kobblehead]

Unfortunately, Covington appears physically spent.

It's weird because Robert has less left in the tank than I thought and Nico has more left in the tank than I thought.

Warriors Out: Jonathan Kuminga
76ers Out D.House, KJ Martin and '24 First rounder.

76ers get some untapped talent before his value jumps. (Saw on a Celtic site, he could be a target for a 1st, so let's get ahead of them)

Jazz out: Kelly Olynyk
76ers out: Paul Reed
Jazz wanted Reed in the summer.

Bulls out: Alex Caruso
76ers out: Covington & a future 1st and two 2nd round picks

Makes the team better for playoff matchups at both Guard and Back-up Center. Gets them an underused young scorer who can get to the basket.

Sixers don’t have a 2025 1st so can’t trade the 2024 1st…at least not until draft night. Best Morey can do is a 2026 1st. Which I do think will hurt his trade negotiations some when another team could offer a pick better than the OKC or Philly picks will be 3 drafts from now.

Paul Reed also can’t be traded to the Jazz since they signed him to an offer sheet. He can also veto any deal.

The Caruso deal might be fairly realistic tho

I think the 76ers own a future unconditional Clippers' pick, that is trade-able in a deal for Kuminga, but I'm not sure of the Warrior's trade restrictions, due to being so far over the Tax threshold. In that case I think the 76ers may need to use a Trade exemption and add some lesser draft picks for Kuminga.

Forgot about that rule with Paul Reed. In that case, I think Korkmaz, Bamba and 3 . 2nd round picks for Olynyk.

[brannigan73]

Imo for two first round picks and two seconds we can do better then Kuminga, Caruso, and Olynyk. We need another legitimate shot creator. I think we should go for it at the trade deadline or make an edge deal that does not involve any first round picks and realise we are probably not beating the Celtics this year. Robert Covington is toast and Marcus Morris I dont know why the plus minus stats dont hate him but he is almost cooked to my eye.

Kuminga is essentially the same level talent as Jaylen Brown at the same stage (2.5 Years into the league). The Warriors don't play him a lot, because he overlaps Andrew Wiggins and they made a mistake and boxed themselves in with Wiggins' salary. If you can get Kuminga for one 1st round pick, you do it before the good GMs figure it out.

***Also, the best player, theoretically, left on the block is Dejonte Murray. You'd have to give all of that just for him, and I don't think he'd make you that much better than Caruso would make you, by himself.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

If you have a chance at Kuminga, Herb Jones or any youngish player that is still ascending and can play right away, you do it!

Agreed. If wither guy is really on the table, you need to probe the cost. Assuming they'd be expensive.

Ya in a perfect world our bench would Pat Bev/Melton/Oubre/Batum/Reed(I would look at buyouts for a better rebounder/rim protector).

Easier said than done to acquire 2 starters, but it’s definitely doable. Just a matter of how willing Morey is to make smaller moves and not hold all of his chips for whatever his master plan is.

Morris, RoCo, Korkmaz, Martin($36M worth of expirings), Springer, 1 ‘26 1st, 1 ‘24 2nd, and 3 other 2nd’s in ‘27-‘29…..go get those 2 players Morey.

Not as exciting as Kuminga or Jones…but Corey Kispert interests me. 6’6 high volume/high % 3 point shooter that can hold his own on D. Washington is committed to Kuzma and Avidja at F and also just drafted Coulibaly. I would kick the tires on what they want for Kispert.

Kispert + Delon Wright for RoCo, Springer, and ?(don’t know what/how many picks they’d want)

[Ben]

Has anyone talked about Wendell Carter Jr.? He's had really irksome injuries, has missed a lot of games, but none has been like a career-altering injury. He's on a very friendly multi-year contract, he can rebound very well and even stretch the floor a *little* bit, and he expressed a desire (unmet) to play PF while in Chicago. Don't know what Orlando would want for him but he's been rumored to have been floated on the trade market.
