Other Sports: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 23-24 Season Thread: Punt, Pass, Or Kick? Post Trade Deadline

[Embiid]

Ugh ...Al Horford coming back for another season. Hate seeing that guy on the court and on that team...

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Bring back Tony Bradley.

 

[Flybynite]

Holy crap,the Pistons actually fired head coach Monty Williams like 1 year after making him the highest coach contract ever.

He still is owed $65m over the next 5 years lol.

He's a younger Doc Rivers. Sermons vs X and O's only go so far....

ESPN Sources: All-NBA forward Pascal Siakam intends to sign a new four-year, $189.5 million maximum contract to return to the Indiana Pacers. Siakam plans to sign deal once league’s free agency moratorium ends on July 6.

Next Sean Bradley..??

7-foot-9 Florida recruit is about to make college basketball history

Olivier Rioux makes Zach Edey look like Muggsy Bogues.

Dekker can be our Chris Stewart.

Some interesting reading in this article, for example (quote from PG13):

“We started the year off rolling, we started year off hot....

“And then we traded to get James [Harden] and it’s not James’ fault of why I think we struggled, but the lost part of that was we lost [Robert Covington] we lost Nico [Batum]. Those were our glue guys....So again, it had nothing to do with grabbing James, it was more so losing those guys. KJ Martin as well.... RoCo was huge for us. Nico was huge for us. So you plug those guys around myself, Kawhi, and [Russell Westbrook] they did a lot of the dirty work. And now you grab James, who is super talented offensively, now myself, Kawhi, we become the dirty guys. Now we have to score too. I think it was just a lot that we were trying to balance and manage at that point.

“But again, it had nothing to do with James. James I thought was awesome for us.”

I am very much on the Amick is a fraud train, but this is out there too:

Seems like there's enough smoke around there to think there just might be fire.

The Sixers are likely to show interest in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope once free agency begins, per @ZachLowe_NBA (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lowe-post/id986595124?i=1000659576145…).With over $60 million in cap space, Philadelphia stands out as a serious threat to lure Caldwell-Pope away from the Nuggets.

Lakers hiring JJ

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

What are the odds a massive George deal blows up in their face? 90% ?

I checked this 4 times to make sure it's Woj. What the f*** is Chicago doing???? I cannot remember a worse trade involving non-stars. Giddey's unplayable on a good team and they were offered multiple picks for Caruso.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Everything wrong.

That trade is after passing up handfuls of firsts and then moving him for a nothing “prospect”?

Chuck Fletcher vibes.

This is like trading Laughton for Cody Glass.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

There's also this, so I have absolutely no idea what's going on anymore.

It feels like Ingram + KCP and as a longtime KCP fan, I will still loathe it. Loathe.

I don’t understand this trade at all. There’s gotta be more? That’s unknown or Jesus is Chicago just dumping his salary?

 

[Chinatown88]

Everything screams mediocre off-season.

I admire looking for a possible reason, but they're both owed about 1/9. It's just a poorly run team making a trade with a fantastic one.

That ruins that idea.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This trade is so bad Marc Stein had to tweet out an hour later that we’re not missing any components.

 

[Tripod]

Chicago is so dumb

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I’d love OG/KCP.

I’ve wanted KCP & Caruso for about 15 years.

 

[ponder719]

I don’t understand this trade at all.

Just more Presti-digitation.
