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

[Embiid]

One really happy and huge addition by subtraction result of the PG signing is the final nail in the coffin of one Tobias Harris.

Good effin riddence to him...Harden, Doc and Ben Simmons.

Mission Accomplished!

What would NOP say if we hypothetically offered them our picks for Herb Jones.

Probably no, but hot damn is that exactly what I want too, brother.

Like it was meant to be.

Absolute loser.

Once upon a time, he really was a good player. Never great. But good. Not anymore either.

But now we're free and none of that matters.

I'm still incredibly depressed over the proportion of Joel's career wasted by chasing good players and paying them as if they were great, but we can hope that this one last mix will finally be the right one. I cannot be more thankful that Tobias is literally anywhere else.

I think it was Mike Levin who pointed out that this will be the first time Embiid plays without either Okafor or Tobias. That almost killed me.

Knicks get weaker. Love it.

Tobias Harris has made $250.8m in his nba career. Shaq made $286.3m and is 10th all-time in earnings.

Tobias Harris will go past that lol.

Sixers met with Reggie Bullock.

When the Sixers were chasing PG, I saw some people saying Reggie Bullock was his PJ Tucker.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

I was a Tobias supporter up until this past season... just based off of how, while not living up to his contract, he was still durable enough and still came closer to living up to a max deal than dumb or dumber (Harden and Simmons) did. But enough was enough. I honestly still can't believe he played out all 5 years of that deal with the sixers. Detroit is probably the right place for him anyway.

 

[Embiid]

Detroit always wanted Harris...they wanted to trade with the Sixers at the trade deadline.

Wish they had jettisoned him long before that offer...

reed has to be gone no?

reed has to be gone no?

I would think so. I try to actively avoid exposure to confusing discussions of the NBA salary cap and such but apparently they could trade him and take back almost twice his salary. He makes a little under $8M so they could take back around $15M in a trade. That would put them at the first apron though, which causes problems down the road. But I think one way or another his salary will be used in a trade. The writing was probably on the wall for B-Ball Paul when they drafted Bona.

New thread name: Paulssible NBA champs?

Look obviously i hope i'm wrong on this one, i just have zero faith that come playoff time, both Embiid and PG will be healthy and playing their best which is all that should matter considering that their depth, on paper, sucks.

As of now, i'm convinced that the correct move was to trade for Lauri, extend him, and then sign KCP, Caleb Martin and Naji Marshall. I do like the Drummond and Oubre signings though. Maybe the guy in his mid 30s who has never won a ring and shrinks in the second round of the playoffs will indeed get it done with the center in his 30s who also has never won a ring and shrinks in the second round of the playoffs. Maybe.

Embiid just dropped 50 points in the second round on the Knicks on 1 leg and half a face

Watch Fenway Sports swoop in. They don't have an NBA franchise in their portfolio.

 

[Embiid]

Hopefully Josh Harris and his Apollo Global Management Private Equity Group swoop in and then install the Colangelos..

 

[trostol]

did the Wolves sign anyone? oh yeah that's right 0 cap space lol

 

[FLYguy3911]

Daryl also had to work with Doc who you will not convince me he didn’t have roster say.

Speaking of which, I see Joe signed for 4/48.
