Oubre, KJM, Drummond, and the 26 OKC 1st to CHI for Coby White and Jalen Smith

This is the trade to make if Morey is going to insist on finishing 38-44. Although the Bulls would probably want a Clipper 1st to get that done now.

It's just gross. What are they doing? Just tank and "try again" next year.

I think the Bulls would do better than that if they put White on the market.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I'd do that trade with Chicago in a nanosecond if it was actually being offered.

Premise: Morey-Presti made a deal before where we get our assets back if we ever decide to trade Embiid, two of which are the 2025 Sixers first and the Clips pick swap in the Harden deal.

Thunder receive:
- Joel Embiid
- OKC 2026 first round pick

Sixers receive:
- Isaiah Hartenstein
- Alex Caruso
- Nikola Topic
- Ousmaine Dieng
- Sixers’ 2025 first-round pick (on draft night)
- LAC 2026 first-round pick
- LAC 2027 pick swap
- Dallas 2028 first-round pick

Why it works for the Sixers:
- We ruin the championship party for the Celtics
- We reclaim a couple of our lost picks.
- It gives us a championship caliber center who fits the team better.
- Caruso adds versatility, capable of playing alongside Maxey or McCain, or both.
- Wiggins provides additional depth and trade value.
- We have flexibility to flip Hartenstein and Caruso at the deadline for even more assets.

Morey-Presti made a deal before where we get our assets back if we ever decide to trade Embiid, two of which are the 2024 Sixers first and the Clips pick swap in the Harden deal.

Thunder receive:
- Joel Embiid

Sixers receive:
- Isaiah Hartenstein
- Alex Caruso
- Nikola Topic
- Ousmaine Dieng
- Sixers’ 2024 first-round pick (on draft night)
- LAC 2026 first-round pick
- LAC 2027 pick swap
- Dallas 2028 first-round pick

- Caruso adds versatility, capable of playing alongside Maxey or McCain, or both.
- Wiggins provides additional depth and trade value.
- We have flexibility to flip Hartenstein and Caruso at the deadline for even more assets.

This could be a solid reset while keeping the team competitive.

Embiid can’t be traded until the offseason. If he could, I doubt Presti gives up this much.

Are they allowed to trade Embiid on draft night? I feel like they have to wait until the new league year starts, which I thought was after the draft, but maybe I'm wrong about that?

Also the league year has to flip so Caruso's extension kicks in and he makes enough money to help match Embiid, right now he only makes 9M.

[WentzerWuver]

Lonnie Walker is a must for us. Or a shake Milton.

Lowry gotta become assistant Coach and retire

Eric Gordan ,KJ Martin for a starting tall stretch PF.

Embiid / Drummond / Bona
---------/Yabu
George/ Oubre / edwards
C.Martin/ Lonnie/ council
Maxey/ reggie / mccain inj

Lakers would give us Milton for Oubre Jr. I missed Shake ever since he left.

Im thinking Presti do a similar deal we did for Mutombo back then to counter Jokic and Wemby in their conference.

Well it's not possible anyway so no point speculating about it. Hopefully Jo has rehabbed his value to the point where we can get something in trade by the offseason when he's trade eligible.

[LeonJordanJr24]

I aint trading embiid wtf. Keep adding young players.

[Decipher]

OKC has Holmgren and Hartenstein

If they’re really worried about depth in bigs, they could throw a relatively small amount at Utah for Kessler

There’s quite a few plug & play bigs that wouldn’t cost much, can be relied upon for 10 mpg and wouldn’t require a restructuring of their game plan

Yabu works there as a 4 or 5

[ProcessDoctor]

George/Yabusele for Porter Jr./Nnaji/Saric/2031 DEN 1st (top-3 protected)

[LeonJordanJr24]

George/Yabusele for Porter Jr./Nnaji/Saric/2031 DEN 1st (top-3 protected)

I actually wanna pay and watch players that we have. Why would we subtrack players that put people in seats?

George is NOT putting people on seats with his play unless his first name is Boy.

So this goes against my complaints about the current roster construction by bringing in yet another small, old guard that's not nearly what he used to be... But the Spurs have fallen to 11th in the standings, and CP3 is still a good playmaker, can create a shot for himself in the clutch, and is in a salary that's easily matchable for the Sixers...

You could make an argument that he'd have a positive impact on Tyrese's development as well.

Plus maybe you move on from both Gordon and Jackson as part of the salary filler of a deal.

That said, it would have to be 2nds and filler, and I doubt San Antonio is throwing in the towel on the season any time soon (although maybe as part of a 3 way that nets them a starting PG?).

Kinda feels like the only way we're getting a useful player is if we sneak in to somebody else's 3 way deal and get a "useful filler" contract from someone unwanted on a new team.

Morey's totally gonna try to solve this thing with like a CP3 or Klay.

[the_process]

CP3 hates Morey IIRC.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/why-zion-williamson-trade-is-something-the-pelicans-need-to-seriously-consider-before-feb-6-deadline/

It seems that obtaining Zion is absolutely the most logical step for us to take. Power Forward is the one spot where the starter isn't an obvious choice. We get even stronger on paper, we have another superstar who doesn't play, so we get even better and even worse at the same time. We don't mess up the tank, and simultaneously we get to talk about even more potential that will never materialize.

Maxey
McCain
PG
Zion
Embiid

That is an absolutely terrifying starting 5 that would never see more than 3 of them playing at the same time ever. He'd fit right in here.

How does Wiggins do that without being part of the trade?

Sorry. I flip flopped where I initially have Wiggins there instead of Topic and Dieng.
