Great stream. Got to sit for 2 hours & watch the rest of the league get better 🔥
First and last
BREAKING: There is NO Harden trade incoming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ramona Shelburne said this afternoon that Sixers do not have to trade Harden.
The former GM on NBATV just said that Sixers do not have to trade Harden until the trade deadline.
But if Harden was traded, everyone reminds us that Morey is patient. He waited 6 months to trade Ben Simmons despite more urgency as BS was unwilling to play and the Sixers needed to win
came here from harden as well. I ain’t gon stop watchin u. I’m not gon watch all 82 sixers games now tho.
BREAKING: If Morey was to trade Harden, it would be a much better deal and help the bottom line if PJ Tucker was part of the outgoing salary. Tucker is not a fit with Nick Nurse and he wasn't a fit with Doc (but Doc didn't realize it) and the type of players who would be returned in a trade would replace PJ's playing time anyway.
By including PJ its possible the save over 4 M in salary if Sixers take by 10% less than salary going out.
I've done the math and posted on Twitter. With the increasing 2nd Apron, I showed that with good management its possible to trade Harden+Tucker and have enough room by June 30, 24 to re-sign Tobi to a contract similar to Harrison Barnes – and trade Tobi for someone demanding similar salary (16 – 22 M in year 1).
Build around Maxey!! Trade Embiid to Portland for their young players.
Bill Walton! Needs to be back as NBA finals analyst
For all those that thanked their lucky stars harden is getting traded, reality will set in quick. If Dame goes to Miami Embiid is gone for sure.
No thanks! how would Portland afford to get another Guard? they just acquaire Scoot
Reason for all the weird sinings like white and kuz are to create exceptions. Under new cba those contracts are super valuble for cap space. 😊
He ain't going to get traded. No team wants him. He will play out his contact with Philly then become a free agent. But harden wants his money up front so nobody sees how much of a loser he is
What did I say. Harden was going to do just enough to put the blame on losing in everyone else like Tobias. Then it ain't hardens fault and pay me another bag. Now they won't extend him and he wants a trade. What a looser
If we can't make it Joell, Tyrese, and Dame, I don't want anyone else. Bring James back if we can't get Dame.
Suns Clippers 76ers Trade
Suns Receive:
G James Harden $35,640,000 2023-24
F Robert Covington $11,692,308 2023-24
Clippers Receive:
C Deandre Ayton $32,459,438 2023-24
F Cameron Payne $6,500,000 2023-24
G Furkan Korkmaz $5,370,370
76ers Receive:
F Paul George $45,640,165 2023-24
2028 1st Round Draft Pick Clippers (Top 5 Protected)
2029 2nd Round Draft Pick Suns
Not worried about Rich Paul and Maxey, he is his own man, not like Ben Simmons. We all know why Harden cannot stay because he will act a fool the whole time until he is traded. He is a big diva.
Harden to Portland (Outside the 📦 scenario)
Sixers get Anfernee Simons, Scoot Henderson
Blazers get Harden, 2029 1st Round Pick that’s TOP 5 Protected, 2030 draft swap.
Simons gives the 76ers another scorer next to Tyrese Maxey and Philly's point guard of the future. The Blazers get a big time talent next to Dame that still probably won't work 😂😂😂. 76ers then could use Scoot Henderson to facilitate a mega trade (along w/ Harris expiring contract) to get a ⭐️ wing)
2nd Trade after this one:
Harden to Chicago (Shuffle deck chairs on the Titanic)
Sixers get Zach La Vine, Alex Caruso
Bulls get Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton. The Bulls seem to be trying to deal LaVine, this could/would help BOTH teams. (TOO MANY WHAT IF’s, but would keep the 76ers in title contention for hmm 3 to 4 seasons 🤔🤔🤔.
I was thinking Chicago was a good fit for Harden because of Zo's health. They need a point. Give us Derozan. I think him, Joelle, and Maxey would be great.
27:50 this is a good deal.
bring my bul ROOOOOOOOCCCCCCOOOOOOOOO back!!!
Sup rb
Here's how the 76ers can save themselves..
12 Player Mega Trade
Pacers Get- Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton, Ivicia Zubac, 2028 1st & 2030 1st
Clippers Get- James Harden, Pj Tucker & Myles Turner
76ers Get- Buddy Hield, Norman Powell, Terrence Mann, Bones Hyland, Daniel Theis & Marcus Morris
76ers 2023 Roster
Starting Lineup
Embiid
Morris
Powell
Hield
Maxey
Bench
Theis
Reed
House
Mann
Hyland
Springer
Korkmaz
There's your 12 man roster
Maxey would have to take an All Star leap for this to work otherwise our roster goes from Top Heavy to not enough talent.
Maxey not being extended this year is only so they can have two max-level spots next year. Maxey isn't going anywhere they will extend him next year.
Keep James YNOT???
It’s foolish to think the sixers are getting any real co star to pair with embiid without Maxey in the deal. I’ve said this since they screwed up the Ben trade. Maxey development is not in the Joel’s short window. Joel is in his prime now Maxey won’t be the player the sixers need now for another 2-3 yr at best. Sad but it’s the truth. I wanna see my city win another chip any player on the roster is expandable to me, they traded AI. But they paid embiid a super max and he ain’t going nowhere.
