FVV hijacking the offense in Philly with no repercussions ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ. Need that
Inshallah
Has to be sign and trade scenario or no?
Is this source reliable? Also, what would a sign and trade with the Sixers look like? Even with Nurse there, I find this hard to believe
FVV about to be our double agent, implode Philly from the inside
Probably just because of his little comment yesterday
Sixers’ roster is such a mess. I take comfort in knowing Embiid and NN will never win anything. Truly blessed
I assume this would be in a scenario where Harden leaves as a free agent, then they trade Tobias Harris to a team that can absorb his salary… all they’ve got to attach to Harris is their 2029 FRP pick, plus 2nds (all of which would be 2027 or later, except the Knicks 2024), so that seems unlikely.
A S&T between Raptors and 76ers seems unlikely… we aren’t taking Harris (almost certainly makes us a taxpaying team, unless we have other salary-shedding moves), and some package like Tucker/Melton/Korkmaz seems bad for both sides.
๐๐๐
I wonder what’s the current demographic of those that are Pro Nurse but Anti-Fred, and vise versa.
Take him plz
FVV for maxey please ๐๐ผ
Some kind of 3 team trade with Houston maybe?
Fred for Tobias and a pick? Who says no
All I’m thinking about now is how effective FVV was in the PnR with Yak towards the end of the year. Now imagine that being spammed with Embiid 100x a game. This could actually unlock a lot for Philly’s offense
Harden for Fred sign and trade letโs goooo ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
No, Wizards are grossly overpaying for him and Malachi and they will like it
/j
Maxey wants max money, but I really can’t see them letting him go.. so we’d likely get their unwanted spare parts.
Raps need those Maxey x Scottie vibes rn tho
This will end well, said no one ever.
The fact that Nurse and Van Vleet end up together after the painful โplaying for a contractโ season Fred put together is the plot twist everyone saw coming. Good thing Masai didnโt pull the trigger to get some assets for good old Freddy.๐ฑ
Fred in Philly while heโs on a decline? Good luck brother.
Nobody of significance follows this guy so I’m not going to take it seriously until someone reputable confirms it.
Yesssssssssss ๐ฅณ๐ญ๐คฃ๐๐ฅฐ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Incoming S/T for Maxey with GTJ headed there as well??? Maybe Darryl and Masai get the Rockets involved if Harden is set on going there and maybe Green gets sent over.
These are my dreams. The reality will disappoint
Itโs a perfect match for him to be honest
You canโt make this up ๐คฃ
Fred and nick will never separate ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Fred is a free agent he can leave for nothing and Iโm sure he would If he could
Yes pleaseeee ๐
Fred Van Brick ๐คฎ
Iโm sure Fred would love that. Nick rarely ever called him out the way that he so casually called out other players to the media
A Fred and Maxey backcourt sounds brutal. Too small
Lets gooooo ๐๐๐
TOR – Davis Bertans, Maxi Kleber, Jaden Springer, the rights to whomever Dallas were to draft at 10 (would have to be a hand shake sort of thing), 2029 top 10 protected 1st via Philly
Dallas – Tobias Harris, Chris Boucher, Montrezl Harrell
Philly – FVV (S&T), Reggie Bullock, JaVale Mcgee
This I the only somewhat realistic 3 team S&T I could think of, my thinking is Dallas would give up pick 10 because they are getting off of Bertans, Kleber, and Mcgees contracts and while Tobias’s deal is big (39M expiring) he is and upgrade at the 3 or 4 for Dallas and could be brought back in the 2024 off-season for a lot less
Edit: You could also swap Kleber and Bullock, which would be better for the Raptors
hahazhahaha
Get some future picks, Sixers are going to be back in the process mode in no time.
Advantage: Raptors
Yโall are stupid. FVV is still an all star caliber point guard, who showed with Poeltl that he is exceptional with rim threats and operating the pick and roll. Raptors played him way too much, had no spacing, and his numbers got deflated from jacking up shots when there were no other options. If he goes to Philly I expect him to play a similar role to harden last year if not be better
James Harden
Scoot Henderson
OG Anunoby
Scottie Barnes
Alperen Sengun
To the moon!
