This is somewhat less than optimal.

[LeonJordanJr24]

Tobias and thybulle for Lavine sign and trade.

[the_process]

Tobias and thybulle for Lavine sign and trade.

If only.

[PhillyFan11]

Tobi and 1 of Springer or ‘22 1st to Utah for Bojan and Clarkson

Danny Green, Bassey and a 2nd to Pistons for Kelly Olynyk

Sign Markieff Morris with whatever exception we have

Harden
Maxey
Bojan
Olynyk
Jo

Clarkson
Shake
Thybulle
Reed
Morris

Not a sexy off-season, but I think it’s realistic and makes us a much deeper team with more players willing to rebound and do the dirty work. Clarkson off the bench is a huge boost to the offense not dying with the bench unit.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I do love the idea of Jordan Clarkson off the bench for us. He's exactly what we need. A scoring guard who can play with the starters. Sign me up for that, but relying on Bojan or Olynyk at this point in their careers for anything more than role play would be a major fail for us. We would still need to sign a wing player with the MLE. Kyle Anderson would balance all that out. It would give us added depth and open the door to starting Paul Reed next to Embiid. Not sure how that would go for us, but a lot would be riding on it. Reed would have to deliver bona fide production from that position and he'd have to be able to space the floor and hit open threes. But...It doesn't sound as bad as I initially thought when I first looked at it. Who we get with the MLE would be the biggest factor with all of it.
Kyle Anderson would be the point guard with that second unit, but it wouldn't hurt to add another vet point guard to the mix. I like Corey Joseph quite a bit, I also like Lance Stephenson in that role as well. While not traditional point guards, both Stephenson and Anderson are playmakers from their positions. They are also a couple of tough minded get in your face defensive players. Clarkson would be the real prize out of a trade with Utah as he would be the one playing big minutes in the playoffs. You add Kyle Anderson with the MLE, sign Stephenson and Joseph for Vet min and I would call that a successful offseason. Some other names I like for a low price would be Stanley Johnson, and Josh Jackson. I also keep seeing Jalen Smith from Indy as a free agent. They do have his bird rights, but man! What an addition he would be for us! That kid is going to be very good and a steal for whoever gets him in free agency. Lots of options for Morey, lots of different avenues for him to explore. There's also low risk trades that we can explore as well. Johnathon Issac?

Just realized I blanked on Niang still being on the roster too, so you’re right Morris wouldn’t make the most sense. Kyle Anderson would be nice. Another free agent option I would really like IF he medically checks out is TJ Warren. If he’s healthy he’d be a nice 3/4 option that can shoot and defend decently. Might be able to be had on a 1 year prove it deal to get healthy.

Actually thought about Issac looking for options thru the trade machine…not sure he’s a good enough shooter tho? I think both our starting 3 & 4 need to be able to shoot like 5 3’s a game at as close to 40% as possible. Pretty slim pickings in realistic options tho

I like I just don't want to give up Paul Reed.

[brannigan73]

I have a classic my problem for your problem trade to propose. Tobias Harris to the Charlotte Hornets for Gordon Hayward and PJ Washington. We get a little something added in since Hayward just cant seem to stay healthy. But if he is healthy at playoff time Hayward and Washington imo is superior to Tobias. Starting lineup would be Jo, PJ Washington, Hayward, Harden, and Maxey. Hayward is probably big enough that against certain opponents if Thybulle is still here he could start instead of Washington or a big wing we sign with the mid level could start instead of Washington.

[the_process]

Sixers need to think outside the box.

Embiid as a 4 is an idea to pursue IMO. I think he could stay healthier there. Have Jo as the weak side help, maybe run a type of 2-3 zone?

I wonder if WCJ could play with Embiid? He should definitely be acquirable now with Orlando hitting the jackpot.

Something with the skeleton:
Westbrook and 2 1sts (one from each team) to ORL
Harris to LAL
WCJ and Ross to PHI

[PhillyFan11]

Sixers trade: Tobi, Green, Springer and 2023 2nd to Indy for Brogdon and Hield

Harden
Maxey

I like him to play a role similar to Al Horford or Grant Williams on defense.

I think Jo wants a game with 0 jumping. That explains why he rarely goes for blocks and jump for rebounds unless its end game situations. That may also explain why we hired Roy Hibbert at one point.

I think someone like Porzingis,Boucher, Jerami Grant or Turner would be OK. Someone who can rotate from perimeter to the rim to block shots, who can finish off lobs and shoot 3s

Yeah, I also think we should go BIG.
Jerami Grant is not big.

Wood, Turner are big

I agree with this. He is trying to save his knees and ankles. It also explains why he falls a lot.

No doubt. Funny, watching the playoffs my wife said a few times "why does Embiid constantly fall down - he spends half the game on the floor". I said essentially the same thing you just did, that it saves wear and tear on his legs and reduces the chance of major injury from an awkward landing as big as he is.

[ProcessDoctor]

If we dangled Green’s expiring + #23, what forward could we get?

[davesilver]

If we dangled Green’s expiring + #23, what forward could we get?

I’d be looking at snagging Jones, Williams, or Green from the Bulls ideally ( ) with Lavine.

Something like
Harris + Shake + Furk + 23 + Thybulle + 2nd for White + Lavine + DJJ

Try our hardest to not throw in maxey

Roster of
Harden Maxey Lavine DJJ Embiid
White Springer Green Niang Reed

Bulls look like a better playoff squad with
Caruso Lonzo Harris Demar Vuc
Shake Furk Thybulle Williams Bradley


Maybe also try to pry away Pat Williams or Javonte Green

Oddly enough, I feel like Harris + Thybulle fit nicely in Chicago. Much more than they would in Washington. Then again, it’s all about where these stars want to play. LaVine/Beal could have no interest in playing here, or vice versa.

There’s an art to falling.
- stop guys from crashing boards (see how guys crash board after Biid fall and injured Danny)
- is a legal way of setting unstoppable screens (see Draymond)

But yeah overall, it’s Embiid saving his knees.

Embiid actually moves well and can jump well on defense down the stretch. If you notice he’d have 1-2 key blocks on tight games down the stretch.

The problem is the stretch leading to “down the stretch”, you may not get to “down the stretch” if you’re getting blown by 20pts with 10 mins left in the 4th.

We need someone who can play how Embiid plays defense down the stretch on the stretch before down the stretch lol

Would Embiid be OK though? Take away his branding on defense and would he have an edge over Jokic or Giannis for MVP?

But was our 2020-2021 Embiid anchored defense something to brag with?
