Jalen smith for oubre... Do we need to add or do you think its fair?


Also interested in picking up Santi aldama (probably too expensive) or Kai Jones.

Jalen Smith is unplayable because of his poor awareness. I’d rather take a shot with Mo Bamba and still have Oubre.

Since Gordon technically re-signed and didn't opt in, we can't trade him this summer.

So, the core package for our starting PF is likely something in the ballpark of Oubre + Drummond + 2027 GSW/PHX 2nd + 2028 GSW 2nd. Not sure I'd include any future 1sts given the unknowns with this team.

I don't see that package landing us Avdija, but I think Jalen Smith, PJ Washington, and maybe Obi Toppin are gettable for that.

I'm pretty sure Gordon is opting in and I'm pretty sure they're going to they're going to use the TPMLE for a W/F and roll with that to start the season.

I don't think they'll be in a rush to solve the F hole until they see how the season is going (i.e. can the TPMLE player be productive, will Embiid be able to play).

This isn't the first time it's been mentioned either.

I agree we'll use the TMLE on another forward though, I just don't know that there's starter material out there for $5.7 mil.

You're looking at a Yabusele (if we're extremely lucky), LaRavia, Boucher, or Nance Jr. All 20 mpg bench reserve guys IMO. Taurean Prince (terrible rebounder) and Precious Achiuwa (non-shooter) are two other names out there, depending on how many drinks you've had.

Jaylen brown for Pg , Drummond, eg , clippers pick and 2 pick swaps. I would empty the clip for 6 years more of jaylen brown prime.

So the Celtics are going to accept our garbage and the Clippers pick for a superstar level player in his prime? Please stop.

It will take three 1st's plus a useful player or two at minimum to get Brown, which is why it isn't going to happen.

Who is Chase Mudd? Is he colleagues with Vin Fosh?

It doesn't make any sense for the Sixers. With just Embiid, PG, Maxey, and VJ's cap hold they are over the cap. Having Gordon opt out and re-sign would cost them more money without any benefit.

I'm not happy with their forward options either, but I think it would be foolish to trade assets for an upgrade without seeing what team looks like yet. And who knows, maybe they sign a Boucher, LaRavia, or Nance look competent in the role like Yabusele did.

Edit: Actually, after looking into it. I stand corrected. Gordon re-signing would help. Gordon would count ~$2.1M against the cap, with the NBA covering difference between that and what Gordon would be getting which would be a raise for him. It doesn't free up money for FAs, but will help them as far as ownership saving some money and with the aprons.

I feel like Morey is going to decline Lonnie Walker's option and bring Kyle Lowry back.

Ideally, you decline Walker's option and add Lowry to the coaching staff instead. We'll see.

I'd rather have LW on the roster than Lowry at this point...

[zaz102]

Based on the what Morey said from RtRS and who is under contract:

Embiid / Bona, Drummond, (Broome)
Oubre & George / Edwards, Council
Maxey & Grimes / McCain, Edgecombe, Gordon

If Broome signs a two-way contract, that leaves three roster spots.

Based on Nurse's love for Lowry, Edgecombe taking 77, and the fact is that they only have a veteran's minimum to use for another G, I have a feeling Lowry will be one of those spots.

The second spot ideally should be used with the TPMLE to sign a forward or a bigger wing.

The last spot should be used to sign the best wing, forward, or center they can get with the minimum.

Yea that’s what the tweet said.

One of Bodner/Neubeck mentioned this as well on PHLY.

[NYSixersFan]

Oubre and Drummond need to be traded. PF and shooting is needed. Both have trade value being expiring contracts.

PG goes back to small forward.

Not happy they declined Jared Butler.

I would not bring back Yabu.

[mjkvol]

I don't get the point of bringing back Yabusele. If we were actually competing next season (which is pure delusion IMO), okay, but otherwise I don't get signing a 30-yr. old for three years.

3 years is doubtful. More likely a 1+1 player option similar to Oubre's current deal. That's probably the case whether it is Yabu or anyone else who takes our tMLE.

Positive value contract that fits with the rest of the team and makes things easier on your young players you are building around

I don't really get the the opposition. Not like he's blocking anyone.

[Stanford]

Meh, I'm pretty confident we'll be a playoff team next season.

Did anyone see the Philadelphia realtor social media post that talked about selling a house to Yabusele?

It could be fake or maybe he loves Philly and would live here even if he played for another team, but it’s interesting.

I think someone posted it here. Without any verified source, just feels like noise. There seems to be a lot of chatter about him possibly going to San Antonio.

Remember when there were people posting about Lebron visiting charter schools?

[PhillyFan11]

S&T Grimes (3/45) + Oubre to Houston for Tari Eason, Jock Landale, and ‘26 2nd

Houston traded their 2 guard and don’t have a current replacement unless they plan to play FVV and Sheppard together. This gives them 2 wings capable of playing with KD and Jabari .
Landale is a non guaranteed contact that can be let go after the season for 0 $.

Just let me have a little hope
