  1. Waive Harrell
    – Sign Will Barton!!!!
    – Harrell has a player option for next year
    – What can sixers do to get Harrell to accept a Buyout
    – or Korkmaz but Korkmaz has a guarenteed $5 million contract for next year so that more difficult to buyout
    – or waive Dedmon but I like The combination of Reed & Dedmon as the backup centers.
    – I prefer Dedmon over Tony Bradley or Moses Brown bc I want Reed to be main backup with the veteran Dedmon being a big brother vet for Reed

  2. I would start Will Barton at SF & make Tucker come off the bench
    – I can't stand Tucker starting anymore

  3. Will Barton is there for the taking
    – Barton did well as the starter for Nuggets for a few good years
    – I think Barton played SG & SF for the Nuggets
    – then Harris can go back to his normal spot at PF & bring Tucker off the bench

  4. The Jays winning it as home grown talent…and after everyone wanted to split them up…Banner 18…great story

  5. Or Waive Harrell & Sign Will Barton
    &
    Then if you don't like Dedmon
    Then
    Also waive Dedmon & sign a different backup center to team up with Reed as the backups
    – I really think sixers should talk Harrell into waiving his player option for next year for a Buyout
    – I think sixers can still do all these things & it wont affect their luxury tax situation so I think sixers can do these things if Harrell can accept to be bought out

  6. Definitely next off season trade Tobias for a 1st round draft pick and a starting small forward type that can get his own shot. Sixers need more youth and the pick will help . Trade Korkmaz and make a determination on Springer. Start McDaniels at the four spot and make Reed the regular backup center. Problem with Reed is that he's an unrestricted free agent and very well could leave. Try resigning Harden. They have their work cut out this summer.

  7. If James Harden is bout to leave Daryl Morey should facilitate a sign and trade in the off season. As for if it's Championship I say more Conference Final or bust. If we make it that far. I say keep the team the way it is with some adjustments. If we don't blow it up

  8. James Harden is the PG A LOT of championship teams want, a guy who can average 21, 6 and 11 on great efficiency. I think he would be perfect really on the Clippers, Celtics or Lakers

  9. To think the guy that Doc choked against in the playoffs in 2021 has been outlasted in his job security by Doc himself. We're such a backwards organization.

  10. Think about it if a team can’t bring role players that actually know how to play basketball for the team why would harden wanna be there

  11. Last year at the trade deadline I really liked getting James for BS but felt like we lost a lil too depth much with Drummond & Curry and the fact they were to be a getting older team with a short window with Harden AND cringed because the trade I REALLY REALLY wanted and probably would have easily landed if it were not for Morey's infatuation with Harden was to get TYRESE HALIBURTON AND possibly Harrison Barmes who Sacramento woulda offered for JUST for BEN!!! And the year Haliburton is having makes me cringe again over what could have been and how young we woulda looked with both Tyrese's and Seth locked up on this team for Embiid's prime!!! Top 5 Worst instant cringe instinct moments that I turned out to dread correctly with the other 4 moves below all time…

    This along with the 207 NBA draft when I wanted them to stay put at #3 because I was not in love with Faultz at #1 but not only did they lose assets trading up with Boston we potentially would've missed out on the player and shooter I really wanted from that draft whom would've landed in our lap and NOT Boston's!!!… JASON TATUM (aka Ranked 2nd Cringe moment)!!! With these last 3 moves rounding the TOP 5 Instand Gut Reaction Cringe Moves [Roy Hinson > BRAD DAUGHTERTY] [Larry Hughes > PAUL PIERCE ] [Jeff Ruland > MOSES] all over again in ALLTIME WORST franchise moves that made me cringe instantly!!!

  12. And whas the point of going to Houston❓How does he win a ring there..and how will that convert to winning if he goes back❓

  13. RB, If the Sixers aren't ready to win with this roster, then no player on the buy out list will put them over the top. We will be underdogs against either the Celtics or the Bucks.

    If Harden leaves without a championship, then we'll have to blow it up next year and trade Embiid for future assets.

  14. harden wants to win a chip. why would he go to the rockets. i hate the media and these bullshit rumours

  15. One day y’all gonna have to stop blaming everyone else n look at the one player that has been here the whole time we haven’t been past the 2nd round. Because Joel dnt avg that 30 n the playoffs like he does n the regular season. He actually avg like 20 n the 2nd round

  16. Why the hell would he go back to Houston lol esp if he wants a ring..that's the last place you should go

  17. Do not believe the reporters about Harden..Its about the national media always trying to destroy every Philly sports team..Do not fall for it

  18. I wouldn’t be sorry if Harden leaves. It will show Morey made the wrong Simmons trade. And with Maxey and Melton as starting backcourt we will run a lot more and our pace of play will be where it should be!

  19. I mean he could go to other teams and be successful no doubt. But he’s on a team that just needs a back up center and it’s pretty much a championship level team. I think he would dumb to leave but if we get a star or good pieces screw it.

  20. It's bust or bust as long as Doc is at the helm. Should pick up Ime or Nate imo. We just need coaches who can coach and we'll be fine.

  21. RB They won't do jack shit. There BO signing6since Morey came aboard have been abysmal and if JH wants to go then go

  22. I still feel Harden is just using Houston to leverage the Sixers. I just can't see why Houston would give him a max deal when their rebuilding. Especially since they just traded away Eric Gordon.

  23. Harden wants a max before he retires so if he doesn't win a chip here he's definitely leaving to whomever give him his last bag

  24. Some guys in the comments changed my mind.
    – McDaniels could start over Tucker
    – bring Tucker off the bench
    – get Will Barton for more depth off the bench
    – but Barton will probably sign elsewhere
    – plus sixers would have to waive another player to try to sign Barton
    – main thing is backup center
    – could waive Dedmon & instead sign Tony Bradley or Moses Brown

  25. About Dedmon
    – if Dedmon sucks then sixers could waive Dedmon & sign someone else
    – 2 Options are Tony Bradley or Moses Brown
    – But Rivers loves Old Vets like Dedmon so Dedmon probably is staying with Sixers
    – see how things go by March 1st deadline

  26. Why bring this negativity to my feed🤦🏾‍♂️ are we worried about winning a championship or worried about if harden leaving or not

  27. Don’t be like the bkn nets channel worrying about if players gonna get traded or not look at we’re that got them. we still have half the season left for us and we been good

  28. He ain't leaving , he said like a week ago this team is the best chance he's ever had at winning a ring.
