Other Sports: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 23-24 Season Thread: Better Than the Flyers?

[Magua]

2. I have been convinced to accept the possibility of Paul George

What if I told you it's like an 8.4% chance of happening?

 

[BrindamoursNose]

So are the Sixers any better after today?

Any shot of winning if Embiid returns by Game 1?

Wouldn't be surprised if it's less but I'm just saying.

Nope! Although I guess buyout stuff could change that outlook a bit

 

[Embiid]

Danuel House got waived too

Morey cleaning house.....so far he's brought in questionable new furniture.

I kept hearing they had to look at another big but I don’t see one

Robin Lopez was bought out today.

No, but they didn't want to be -- they punted -- so that's probably not the right question. If 3 weeks ago you thought they were one of the best teams in the league, well, all 5 starters are still on the roster, and their actual playoff rotation is intact, just sub in Hield+Lowry(?) for Bev. But they'll crater in the standings (this will be BAD), guys might not come back at even 80%, there assuredly will be rust. What I'm saying is, this season is shot, but it could be funny if they squeak into the play-in.

Morey, historically, loathes giving up assets for depth. If Embiid doesn't get hurt, do they cash some chips in? Probably. Forgetting the nonsensical Springer move (subtraction by subtraction?), I don't see how you complain about not wasting assets for rotation pieces on this slop. This summer will be the last hurrah -- after the other 3 hurrahs -- in creating a championship window.

Okay, what the f***. Other moves are don't give a shit territory. WHAT. WHY.

So, is this good? Do we want this?

You can watch all the Sixers games you like now.

No he can't! You want Maxey to suffer some kind of lifetime crippling injury?

 

[Magua]

Let's not pretend Biff is omnipotent. He only controls Embiid's fate. Biff's daughter on the other hand might control Maxey's fate if this thing is genetic. She can't watch.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Pro: They have their pick this year. It stinks at the top, but it’s ~15 deep in reasonable guys.

Con: Daylin Swain is going to be the pick, which will make me very happy for the 17 seconds it takes Woj to tweet out that he’s been traded.

So who are the targets for this summer with all the cap space they will have

Wemby dammit!

Just gotta say that i find it amusing how Morey made so many moves at this deadline and yet i have almost the exact same feelings that i did when Fletcher did literally nothing at the deadline last year.

 

[Embiid]

Well Fletch had grander delusions.....Morey not so much. Clearly posturing for one miracle run next year.....

-I liked the Hield trade (Kork finally got his wish)

-Pat Bev trade only makes sense if they pretty much know they're getting Lowry. Otherwise not a big fan.

-Springer looked good on D the other night but I don't think we'll lose sleep over him. That trade tells me that they weren't picking up his option this summer so why not just get something for him and free up a few more dollars for this year.

Think they might go after Lopez in the buyout market as well.


*Embiid and Reed are now the only two players under contract for next season. So they'll have space to do things.


EDIT: Forgot the House tax move but there's not reason to complain about that.

Reed’s contract for next year is only guaranteed if the Sixers make it out of the first round of the playoffs.

 

[DancingPanther]

Reed’s contract for next year is only guaranteed if the Sixers make it out of the first round of the playoffs.

And they won't even make the playoffs, sooooo

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Well they usually lose in the 2nd round so lets call it guaranteed.


Also another thing with Springer is they got a 2nd back and they were running out of picks they're allowed to trade.
