I haven't read anything, but is there a viable market for Oubre around the league as a FA?

I'd assume there wouldn't be.

The book is out on Oubre. Teams looking for an injection of length and athleticism always had him on their radar, even though everyone knew he was low IQ both on and off the court. Now that he's turning 30 in December and the athleticism will gradually be waning, his allure will be all but gone.

I don't know the Morey can find "him" again. Might be holding out hope for internal growth instead paired with decent health and a rejuvenated Joel Embiid. That's a lot to ask for and I haven't even gotten to Part Time Paul yet.

Keep rolling the dice on young talent. We hit the bullseye with Grimes.

Now maybe a forward like LaRavia?

Less than $20mil per. Fantastic. I had him in that $16mil per range. Perfect

Justin Edward can replace Oubre. Yabu I’m not sure who steps up in his role.

I think he's asking who will come in as a vet minimum guy and provide quality minutes in the year.

Keeping Gremis and Yabu would be an A for Morey this summer.

He’s trying to do one last dance with Embiid while keeping in mind that Embiid is done

I thought Gordon was doing the resign at the minimum thing so he gets a raise and the Sixers get a smaller cap hit.

Gordon opting out

He should head straight to Orlando


Hope he goes elsewhere instead of resigning at the vet min. Rather use the spot on a younger player.

Priority is trading Drummond and finding another PF/C.
