I didn't want George but now that the Sixers got him I am happy because there was nobody else realistically to get & they can still try to trade for Markkannen if Morey really wants to go all in for next year - but I don't think they will get Markkannen but need a starting PF so maybe trade for DFS - trade Paul Reed & a 1st round pick for DFS - is Oubre the starting SG or is he the 6th man? - if Oubre is the 6th man then sign Trent or Beasley to be the starting SG - Jalen Smith signed with the bulls & Batum is not resigning so let's go get our boy Dario Saric back to be the backup PF
Maybe it's culture or something else. It's like a curse or something that can't be explained. 7 straight years of playoffs and still can't get to a conference final?conference fi
Lets face it, Morey is in a situation that he himself doesn't even know what to do. But every time you hear him talk he acts like he knows exactly what his plan is. That is why we overall are kinda doomed when it comes to actually being competition to the knicks or the celtics since that has to be our main goal
Eric brings up that most players will be vet minimums. But with the new CBA all teams are looking at the same thing anymore. ANd he's right - it's 6 to 8 players that will get you anywhere in the playoffs to 9 thru 15 all ver minimums is no big deal.
Paul George would be repeating the Harden mistake. Trade for the best players available - Markkanen and Ingram. Both fit in the salary cap for 2025 and really have a swing. You realistically have a two year window and need to blow it up anyway. Maxey, Hield, Ingram, Markkanen and Embiid with Oubre, Melton, Payne and Reed on the bench can compete with bucks, NY and Celtics
@@taeosama9671 the bench has to be scarier than the starter embiid's knees can't play 40 min a game and bones hyland is literally another Tyrese maxey who can start you need clones coming off the bench I highly doubt Lauri wants to play in Pennsylvania and Paul George isn't enough to get to the Eastern conference finals
We have to get starters first for the bench to be anything. You missing that point. The only starters we have are embiid and maxey. We have to fill out the 3 starting spots before we worry about a bench
The Sixers have to do something monumental this off-season. Embiid is still injury prone and will be another year older. If they cant get Lauri and they lose in the first or second round again, they are facing the reality of either watching Embiid ask for a trade or trade Embiid anyway because you need to rebuild your team around Maxey. Its crucial Morey gets this thing right.
Take into Account Harden & PG are friends. Morey lied to Harden & technically Owes Harden Millions. Harden Has Enough Juice in the League to Have Morey Blackballed. Bottomline Sixers are Screwed
Getting Paul George would be a stupid move by the star hunter. If they do get Paul, the sixers will be out of the first or second round of the play-offs again. I hope he goes to golden state or Orlando. The player I want them to get is Miles Bridges. The sixers can trade for Kyle Kuzma and see if the sixers can get Kispert in a package with Kuzma. It's time for Daryl Marley to get to work, earn his money.
@@BleavIn76ers I get what you are saying, but he is not the GM, plus he said he would not mind having Ben Simmons back lol. Joel can say that if he won a championship, he has not.
@@BleavIn76ers If I was the GM for the sixers, I would make moves for now and later for Maxey. The window is almost closed for Joel unless the sixers luck up in the next few years, and he is at 80 percent for a playoff run. The players I would get will be 25 to 30 tops. I like Miles Bridges because he is a better rebounder then all the forwards, and he will not cost over 50 million a year. The sixers need to be younger and deeper for a playoff run. We already know Nick Nurse dogs out his starters, and you all want to make a playoff run with 3 players that's over 35 years old. The sixers can get Miles and trade for Kyle Kuzma and have money left over to get more players.
That is such a ridiculous commentary. If you go to the grocery store to buy a product and that product isn’t available, you don’t just buy another product for the sake of buying another product. sometimes the market is what it is rather than overpaying for a product that you don’t want sometimes you do have to be patient
"sometimes you have to be patient" it's not sometimes if you've been waiting for 2 years.. i'm patient as hell, man. but you can't just keep kicking the can. Because what if that grocery discontinues that product...are you never going to eat again?! you gotta go to another aisle, pick up other ingredients and make yourself a different meal... the plan brought us here to this moment, as was promised to Joel, Maxey, ownership, and fans.
I think playing into the playoffs would mean something to him. I'd rather take that chance with him than cap strapping yourself to a 34 yr. old PG with 200+ million
The Knicks gave up 5 1st round picks a 3 pick swaps for Bridges. What do you think Danny Ainge is going to want for Makkannen? I tell you it's going to be more than the Knicks gave up and the Sixers just don't have enough to get a Markkannen deal done.
Hell yes go get Markkannen!!! Maxey- KCP- SF???- Markkannen- Embiid - 6TH MAN- Oubre - At SG sign KCP or Trent or Beasley - Not sure who to get to start at SF Lowry- McCaine- SF???- Batum- Jalen Smith - For backup SF i like Taurean Prince - For backup Center either Smith or Drummond Extra Players- Council & Bona
i just dont think we would have enough picks to get him from Jazz. Knowing Jazz they will troll Morey and be like oh you're just one pick off of what we want sorry bud.
Morey is so overrated... why are they chasing PG... He's not a winner and seems like he don't care to be .. PG is a expensive name at this point in his career that's trying to cash in one last time.. Plus this Sixers roster is just gonna be top heavy like in the past.. fill the roster out with good quality roll players and they can probably win without throwing most of the cap money at a aging allstar like Paul George.. It's just stupid thinking on part of this Organization.. IMO
KCP will never give you defense, and either 0-9 pts or 10-19 pts half the time. Klay isn’t the same type of defender, but he’s a dude that can give you 20 pts half the time.
Morey has to be realistic. If the Sixers get PG, the chances of signing Oubre or any other useful player is unlikely because he will take up most of their cap. Lauri is not happening, unless he asks for a trade. I wouldn't trade for Ingram either. Bring back: Oubre, Payne, Council, Nico, and Lowry (Nico and Lowry on vet deals if you can. If not, then just Nico). Then: Any combination of KCP, DeRozan, and Brogdon (I would go for DeRozan and Brogdon. Paying KCP $25 mil a season is not worth it). Jalen Smith (Pacers can't afford him), Miles Bridges (mid-level), Drummond, Bey. That team has depth, shooting, shot creation, and rebounding...
Resign hield,oubre, possibly Lowry & batum depending on who else we get and how much cap we have left. Then I’m thinking outside the box I need players that can score for cheap, I would call lance stephenson, Demarcus cousins, emoni bates, Dwight Howard. Now that doesn’t mean I’m Definitely signing any of them but atleast invite them to our training camp over the summer work them out see what I think. I would try to sign Caleb Martin, jalen Duran, kcp with the goal being to sign them while still having enough money to give pg a max deal maybe a little less than what he wanted but with a full roster so he won’t have to do soo much every night. I would see if the nets would let me trade for nick claxton … they can have McCain or Tobias preferably Tobias. And for what the hawks just gave up Murray for I would try to go get bogdan for a pick and call it a day full roster and with or without pg we got solid players around maxey and embid. Also vets with playoff experience and some dogs! And some young guys as well !
Need 3 New Starters- 1 Guard & 2 Forwards - I dont want Ingram or DeRozen as I want better shooters & better rebounders New Starting Guard- KCP or Gary Trent or Malik Beasley or trade for Marcus Smart New Starting Forward- Markkannen or John Collins or Kyle Kuzma or DeAndre Hunter or Jeremi Grant or Miles Bridges or Klay Thompson Other Starting Forward- DFS or someone else Potential 2nd Team Unit 6TH MAN- Oubre PG Lowry SG McCaine SF Taurean Prince PF Batum or Jalen Smith C Jalen Smith or Drummond
- 6TH MAN- OUBRE PG- Maxey- Lowry SG- KCP or Gary Trent or Malik Beasley- McCaine SF- DeAndre Hunter or some other 3&D- Taurean Prince PF- John Collins or Kyle Kuzma- Batum C- Embiid- Jalen Smith or Drummond
Sixers fans yall wouldn’t want what the Sixers have to offer for Lauri Markkanaen if yall were Jazz fans the Sixers offer would suck what other teams can offer 😂😂😂
I wanted Murray bc of his better contract, but now he's gone. I'm fine with Ingram. I think Nurse can get the most out of him and he's a great third scoring option. He carried NO in playoffs 2 years ago averaging 27/6/6 while shooting 41% from 3 on 4.5 attempts. He has it in him.
Murry looked like he was obtainable to. I think sixers could had competed with that offer. I'm worried that Morey is going to be stuck on this PG thing too long and he is going to miss out on other opportunities.
