Fixing the Mess Pt. 2 Sixers Offseason

[Sportfan73]

Let’s see they are already top what 10 and 15? So yeah, I am saying that IF they take a step that’s where we’re at. Y’all are being HELLA short sighted on this

How did two top 15 NBA players got us only 6th seeded in the East?

Mediocre coach

Bingo. Also literally how many games was the entire starting 5 healthy? 15 maybe?

Plus I just watched a Heat team that wasn't suppose to be that great turn out to be pretty damn awesome. Don't count us out yet. We brought in Doc and Morey for a reason. Let's go get it

I think about this a lot. They went into the 2018 draft with zero picks, off of a 44-38 (6th seed) season with an aging roster after getting blitzed by Ben + Redick/Cov/Marco/Ersan running wide receiver routes in a quick work ECQF series.

At the time on the books they had:
30 year old James Johnson on a 3/$45M
Hassan Whiteside on a 4/$98M...
Dion Waiters on a 4/$52M
Tyler Johnson on a 4/$50M

No stars, no draft picks, bleak future, and Riley (with time) alleviated his mistakes, cleared those bad contracts and modernized his philosophy after watching how we slayed them with shooting. Expecting a quick fix is naive, but I have full faith that with a short hiatus this team can be right back in the thick of things contending with anyone. I'm so glad Daryl Morey is my GM.

The Heat were still the 5th seed. If the playoffs were like every year (no bubble, no break) they would likely had been eliminated in the second round.

The sixers single handedly saved the heat by giving them Jimmy.

I’m kinda annoyed Covington was already traded. He’s a piece I really wanted in a Harden-Simmons trade.

Simmons/Horford for Harden/Gordon with no picks added is really all I’d give at this point. Maybe add Smith. Not sure how content I’d be with that tbh.


Harden(34)/Gordon(14)
Richardson(20)/Gordon(10)/Milton(18)
Thybulle(32)/Richardson(10)/#21(6)
Harris(34)/#21(14)
Embiid(30)/Noel(18)


Harden/Gordon/#36
Richardson/Milton/Smith
Thybulle/Korkmaz/#34
Harris/#21/Vet min
Embiid/Noel/Pelle

I know this is stupid, but If the idea is that Al Horford is still a borderline all star center, (just in an awful fit alongside Jo), would if not make more sense to trade Embiid for Harden instead of Ben?

Then you can have a big 3 of Simmons, Harden, Horford.

Instead of having to dump Horford for scraps.

At this point you keep Horford and hope he can reestablish value in the league ala Chris Paul.

I have no idea what your trying to say here but I strongly disagree.

I don’t think it’s thaaaat far fetched. Open the game and floor up big time with horford, Harris, Simmons, Richardson, and harden. Watch Ben and James COOK. Then if James falls off a clif or walks in two years look we still have 3 or more years of Ben, most likely his loyalty for sticking with him, and a max slot or two with horford being not fully guaranteed the last year

No, because Embiid is more impactful than Simmons and a borderline all star center.

[mithrandir17]

Trade Embiid so you can accommodate Al Horford on being a starting center. That's a 4d chess move if I ever see one.

Sure and the Raptors were singlehandedly saved from being a perpetual stepping stool by being gifted Kawhi. The Rockets became arguably the second best team of the decade due to a swift 22 year old James Harden trade. The Lakers with Lebron/AD, and the Nets are looking next after the Billy King Massacre of 2013 with the signing of Kevin Durant.

The difference though is that we already have two all NBA talents. The most difficult part about the general managing job, acquiring those cornerstones, is complete. Morey's job is infinitely easier than Riley's was.

((Obviously LA is an incomparable situation due to their brand and location, but things happen. You have to be ready.))

Lol more like a burger king ball pit move.

Clearly Caris LeVert.

Something less then a 3rd team all pro.

[sixers4real]

From what I’ve very recently heard, there is no Nets deal. Rockets want Simmons and Morey knows this. Sixers aren’t willing to trade Ben at this time.

That’s all I know so please don’t ask more question.

Thank you!

[VDT]

No one is giving them that package. But it is what they should say if Morey is offering them Tobias+a couple of firsts and the Nets Levert, Allen +a couple of firsts. In the end they will accept the best offer they can get provided that it includes an asset with a high (realistic) upside.
