Let’s see where it goes... feel like more is brewing


Tobias cannot be guarding 3’s, and he has more of an advantage on offense against 4’s. I honestly think Ben goes back to PG. Doc and Morey right now seem to be saying this is Jo and Ben’s team, and we only go as far as they take us. Now, obviously if they trade for Harden that whole idea goes out the window.

Richardson is a better overall player than Curry, but Curry is better for the Sixers

I think I led the angst and it was because I was geeked for that 36 pick

Two Questions

1. What players are fitting in an $8 million exception and a $2 million exception?
2. What assets are we trading for these difference makers making so little?


We'll consolidate the trades probably so we'll get just one big trade exception for $10M.

Hopefully pissing away all the 2nds means they're trying to save the MLE and will use it to sign veteran free agents.

Elton Brand buried them alive. They weren't gonna get out of that coffin without some bloody knuckles and a broken fingernail or two. It's just the way it is.

But at least Morey was able to Beatrix Kiddo his way out of it.

Vin Fosh has called every trade that will and will not happen for the next five years.

Ok I pose the same two questions with a single $10 million exception

I will say this, the team will be fun to watch offensively.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

On defense Ben will guard wings. On offense Ben will be the PG. Tobi will be the PF on both sides.

I remember looking at mock drafts before the start of the season and most had Mannion going towards the top of the first round. I watched him play probably four or five times during the year and was not impressed. I was hoping this sixers would draft Jones.

On the flip side, they lost 2 NBA quality starters (regardless of their fit), a future 1st, and didn't use either of the early 2nds.

Fit does matter though and with the exception we can get another better fit which will give us 3 players who fit better than Jrich and Horford which will make jojo and ben better players.
That trumps everything and I could care less about a 2025 pick when I know morey is in charge.

Yeah, it's difficult to convey Ben Simmons lineups in that standard format.

I'd be great with that too. Thought he should have been a first rounder
