lightly-protected 2025 first-round pick is not a great sign.

2025 has a chance to be a year where the Sixers are horrendous, gotta see those protections.

I think Danny Green signals that we might be trading Thybulle plus for a legitimate third star. Could be reading the tea-leaves poorly.

Ferguson - isn’t he a very good defensive player?

Not sure how anyone could dislike this. Needed to be done.

I'm not mad at this deal. Horf will probably be a borderline allstar in OKC and **** on us when we play the Thunder next year, but this totally helps us in terms of team construction and gets us off the books of a toxic contract as Green is an expiring.

Also Green is a winner and we're pretty much guaranteed to go to the finals with him now :p

I'd like to know the 2025 pick protection
Nevermind: 1-6 is the protection

Is this a serious question? I assume you are smart enough to know how terrible that contract was.

5/10 deal. Maybe 6/10 not sure.

Need to see what happens subsequently

Also, I think Josh Harris was likely unwilling to pay the luxury tax on our 2 PF 2 C starting lineup.

Contracts don't exist in a vacuum. Are we planning to open up space for a free agent? If so, how?

What did you guys expect? Al Horford was a terrible signing, Brand should feel like a jackass. Especially with Morey cleaning up his mess. Green gives us another solid perimeter defensive player who can hit threes. He's basically what we hope Mattise can be someday. At least we're keeping our first for tonight. I figured we'd have to part with that too. You can't be mad about this. The punishment is light, considering the severity of the crime that Brand committed.

Seems to create an $11 million trade exception for us as well. 1-6 protection is reasonable. Precursor to later moves.
