Georege is still great. But you know how these things go for the Sixers.

Yeah, there are definitely concerns, but I think you have to do it if you can.

The window is this year and next year. Time to go all in

Agreed. Yolo.

 

[Jack Straw]

Clearing cap space...

 

[Jack Straw]

Why would anyone even pose this question?

The timing is important here because you need to have other options still on the board. KCP probably isn’t waiting.

 

[Flybynite]

I don't think Clippers can even pull off a S&T of Paul George without being hard-capped and blocked unless they moved a lot of salary and renounced Harden.

 

[GKJ]

I am in for Markkanen

The magic declined their option for Mo Wagner, is that a guy we could consider as a backup C? I feel like him and Reed as backup twin towers isn't a horrible idea? Or maybe it is? Who knows how much he'd command or what he would want in a role. His per 36 stats would be pretty phenomenal off the bench though. Could sell him on the fact that he'd be playing more than the "traditional" backup too since Embiid is going to need plenty of rest, not to mention he'll probably get hurt again

 

[Flybynite]

I noticed looking at the Sixers contracts they have KJ Martin's bird rights. Could they theoretically spent their full cap. Re-sign Maxey to a $40m starting max and go over and then still sign KJ Martin to like a $20M(1st year) and then unguaranteed 2nd & 3rd years and use him to S&T as basically a matching salary with draft picks to bring someone back?

When you go to basketball reference hide his games played the prior 4 years before this one. It isnt pretty and at 34 I dont expect him to stay healthy. In a really tough position though. Id sign him, not many other options and the clock is fully ticking on Joel.

I always liked Mo Wagner. He is what he is but he’s not bad at being what he is. I can’t imagine he’d cost much, and he’s big and physical and plays hard.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

She has not followed Banchero’s wife. The sickos are on the case.

In theory, yes. But in practice, he’s probably getting the RMLE to go back to Orlando. I also don’t think they can afford him if they do sign PG. That money would be needed elsewhere.

The mutants come out during NBA free agency man lmfao.

This is not me being anti-big splash like PG, but I would be lying if I said I don't wonder if writing a 45mm aav paycheck is really right thing to do for this reason

I understand what you mean, but George specifically spoke out about how much the Clippers missed Batum, Rocco, and KJ Martin. The idea is that your stars help you recruit cheap vet depth. One of the reports we’ve gotten so far was that George does intend to help recruit if he leaves.

Everything is a balance. George costs you more in money. Other options cost you more in picks. So if they do manage to pull this off, they still have their full chest of draft assets to go out and fill in the roster. Morey loves trading for value contracts. I think they’ll be on the phone to New Orleans immediately for example. Not for Ingram, but to see if they want to move some role players now that they added Murray.

I get it and reasonably they do need another "guy". I'll be just as hype as anyone else if PG lands here and the bench dominos fall.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

If the Sixers actually sign Pandemic P to a 4 year max, i will be more upset at that than this board is at the Flyers' draft.

sick of this team overvaluing career losers like Simmons and Harden and PG

 

[Jack Straw]

I don’t about that Jo-Jo, Verstappen was driving “elbows-out”.

 

[Tripod]

After the shit flyers weekend, glad you guys have something to look forward to today that can be franchise altering. You guys are the best chance to not have to watch the shit Celtics walk thru the East again.

 

[Jack Straw]

Assume they figure McCain makes Smith expendable.

I think it’s that and also that they preferred to churn their two-way spots. They signed two UDFAs and I’m assuming Bona gets the last one.
