We're talking about Pompey?


We're talking about Pompey? We're talking about Pompey? We're here talking about Keith Pompey? Not about a guy who knows anything, but we're talking about Keith Pompey? C'mon man.....

I agree with interest in Lonnie Walker. Would be a good add if he can be had for cheap.

Much rather have Highsmith instead of DFS, especially if he is cheaper. HH would be a good fit as the starting forward beside PG.

I'm hoping for someone more interesting than either tbh.

I think the warriors have hardcapped themselves so they can't go past the 1st apron. So dollar amounts prob being scrutinized to the literal $1.

Doesn't doing a sign and trade hard cap us?

Only if we're on the receiving end of the S&T.

Really isn’t anyone super interesting left unless something comes out of left field. I could see Morey swinging for Marcus Smart, likely means PG at the 4 though. Morey does like small teams.

I like DFS, but to give up picks and get hard capped at the 1st apron would require a certain level of player. I don’t know, but I am hesitate to give up picks and get hard capped for him.

Exactly. He's not worth it plus it's basically not possible considering his contract will definitely push us over the 1st Apron hard cap.

HH for $6m/yr would be ideal. Still leaves around $4-5m, just above vet min, for one more piece.

Redditors found our new starting forward. I know Negro approves!

I'd like to take a shot at Caleb Martin or Haywood Highsmith. DFS shooting isn't good enough imo. But I wouldn't be mad if we got DFS.

Just saw that RJ Hampton is on our SL team. I'd love to see him get another shot. He had it going for the Heat last season briefly.
Speaking of poaching Heat players, I am going to predict that we steal Highsmith back from them.

I wonder if the Sixers would have interest in bringing Marcus Morris back. He wasn't bad when he was with the Sixers. Probably more of a last resort type move though if they miss out elsewhere.

Thought I read someone signed him?

That was Monte Morris.

On a side note, take it FWIW, but I'm reading what Heat fans are saying and it seems like most of them like Highsmith more than Martin and prefer to keep Highsmith.

Miami reporter saying the Sixers are interested in Caleb Martin.

Morris is an excellent fit. I would like him as a rotation player. For the minimum, Lowry and either Covington or Crowder to fill out the deep bench spots. However, I think Morris has a lot more in the tank than the other guys that should be available at the min.

With Marcus Morris, do you think you can even compete against the Celtics or Knicks? That would be a signing I would want for the Sixers if I were a Celtics fan.

I say this with all due respect. It is my humble opinion.

I’m genuinely excited to watch Summer League for the first time in years.
