What do you think will happen with Harden ???

Joel is only going to stick around so , long and if 6'ers are not a threat in the east , I suspect he will want out.

I really like Maxy, and their sf/pf was originally a Buck , and 6'ers I feel are not utilizing him enough.
Maybe Nurse will change that.

If Tobias has Pritchard(Boston) guarding him and he tries to post up to get the ball, James Harden will waive him off. This is just one of many examples of James harden’s extremely low bball iq. I want him gone! He will never be a lead guard on a championship team.


If you look at box scores, it can fool you. To really understand how low his iq is you have to consistently watch James.Over and over again on a night in night out bases to fully grasp how low his iq is.The only veteran with a lower iq in the league is Westbrook.. just the fact that for 14 years he still hasn’t got that the refs call the game differently in the playoffs should be a huge red flag and proof of how low I am saying his bball iq is.

Harden will get traded for someone better than you think, Maxey will be given the keys and will perform closer to Harden's production than everyone thinks (at least as a scorer and attacker, nobody's matching Harden's passing), they'll finish top 3 in the East again, and Embiid will either get hurt or run out of steam in the 2nd round.

I think it'll be a trade with the Clippers and you'll get Norm Powell and some other stuff. Clippers and Nets have like half the league's pretty-good SFs, and the more bigger wings Philly can add who stretch the floor, the better their shot at a title. I still say they fall short, though.

Sign and trade. He’s not worth being trapped into a long term 4yr deal. Cut ties get what you can from a sign and trade. Then go from there. He showed flashes in the postseason but then disappeared when needed. At his age and the cost of keeping him? Not worth it. And I feel sixers know this and will find a team willing to sign and trade.

+1 they need to get rid of him and if they can get Powell that would be a win. I think Powell would work very well in Philly.

Hard to move him when he has a reputation as a quitter. I'm not sold on the PG idea to the Clippers. What do you think we can get? I don't believe Portland will do Dame in a deal.

[hateraid]

My first plan is to get rid of Tobias. Simmons, Harden, and Embiid have all been martyrs to this guy. His crucial missed layups are the reason our stars get a bad reputation and we can't get out the second round

I love Maxey but I wouldn't be opposed to a trade for an elite wing who can play PnR and defend. Maxey's value is high but I think (and I'm the only fan in Philly who probably thinks this) Maxey does not project to have much higher of a ceiling.

Still hits hard we could have had Haliburton and Heild for Simmons. But the Harden situation it seems a lot more complex to move him. Then risk losing him for nothing. Seems like a waste to bring I all of Harden's old buds only to trade him away

Hey sixers moved Al Horford contract. Someone will take Harden for a season. As far as what we can get back? Hopefully some valuable role players. Hard to gauge who.

I think the outcome is all variant if we move Tobi first. That is a much bigger obstacles that affects the whole off season acquisitions.

They brought in Harden's buddy Pat Bev. Maybe that may motivate Harden for one more year while he sticks his contract?

Ugh Pat Bev? First Pj Tucker now Pat Bev. What’s going on. Yeah I’m all for Tobias being moved but from my readings Sixers are asking for a lot for him. As are they for Harden in a sign and trade. I’m kind of like blah at whatever the sixers decide to do. I really like Maxey but for the right price/player he can go. Outside of that I really wished we let Sam Hinkie do his process and not everyone else’s. The decisions after forcing Sam out is exactly what Sam said not to do. Then we hire an overrated coach in Doc Rivers who isn’t that much better than Brett brown. If anything he may have players respect more than Brett does. But coaching wise? I can’t tell the difference. So I dont know man with this team. I’ve been coasting it as far as support. Not even gonna bother watching summer league so we can watch a waste of a first rd pick in Springer.

Hopefully Nick Nurse is an upgrade? Not holding breath on it tho. I’m sure raps fans have a good idea what to expect from him.

I'll tell you what, brother.

There is a good chance Harden is gonna stay and if not this is going to drag on for sometime yet.

Morey got his work ahead of him but I think people are being naive if they think he is going to rush and trade his own beloved James Harden for Norm Powell.

There is sure as hell much less urgency here and it is nothing like the whole Simmons situation.

During the first week of free agency Harden has been at Michael Rubin's birthday partying with his teammates and the owner(s) of the god damn team.

Norm Powell? I doubt it. It ain't that desperate.

Don't sleep on Powell. He averaged 23.4 pts per 36 with a 61% TS this season at half the price of Harden.

Tell that to Morey.

Powell still has three years on his contract, can't imagine that is attractive to him. Looks like a con not a pro in the trade.

Huh? Powell is only 30 on a reasonable contract and Philly has basically nobody except Embiid under contract after next year.

[fourkicks44]

He isn't even extending Maxey right now.

You think he is going to rush decisions and trade his boyfriend Harden for 3 years of Norm Powell?

I doubt it, I'm sure Morey is going to wait this one out.

Obviously he would have to ask for more than Powell just to make salaries match. He has already pissed off Harden by failing to extend him. i don't think Harden's feelings would be any more hurt by being traded to the Clippers.

Next season Powell will be making only half of what Harris makes. His contract is a positive not a negative.

[Jasper]

Morey in my opinion is in a slow lose position.

Tell me how many teams that want or in the playoffs would want a guy that basically disappears in the playoffs.
(Some guys can handle the pressure , and Harden is one that genetically can NOT. )

So A team that buys into him , basically rents him for the season , and then would need to shelve him in the playoffs.
THAT IS EXPENSIVE.
If anyone needs to go to a shrink it is : JAMES HARDEN

I would pay him 10mill and hope the gates open enough to get my return back from him.
maybe the fans will warm to him.
If sounds like I think he has the plague - anyone that can't perform at the playoff level is worth SHlT

You do realize his posts are saying how Morey thinks right? Thinking you missed that part. It be different if you were replying disagreeing with how Morey thinks. But you’re not. Ijs

Pretty sure nobody here knows how Morey thinks about a possible Harden trade. Has he said anything about it publicly? Has anyone here talked to him about it personally?

Me personally, I would be happy with Powell, Morris, Covington and Bones for Harden and Korkmaz.

If he was happy with what the Clippers have offered or he wasn't hopeful Harden could stay a trade would have been done already.

From everything we do know about Morey and his MO is he doesn't compromise his desires on star trades.

Looking back at the Simmons hostage saga Morey has clearly proved his resolve and patience. He was offered Halliburton and Buddy Heild for Ben Simmons and declined instead to wait it out to get his man.

Imagine the Sixers going forward into the next ten years with a foundation of Joel, Maxey and Halliburton? Morey, to his detriment, didn't think this was enough because he wanted Harden and valued him so highly.

Sure we don't know what he is going to do, but all the past evidence of his activity as GM up till now indicates this has a lot more to play out.

[GOBB]

So word is Maxey isn’t up for trade when discussions of a Dame trade.

You’re seriously arguing this? Don’t be that guy.

It's a basketball message board lol.

If Morey doesn't want Powell I seriously doubt it's because of his contract.

[hateraid]

Right now I'm eyeing the potential trade with the Bulls with Zach for Tobias....if that goes through I'll be behind anything for Harden

[coin24]

If you want to win in the playoffs then you don’t want hardon on your team..

[hateraid]

What's with the loading up on post players??

Resigning Harrell, Reed, and signing Bamba? Sound like set up to move Embiid next year

What's your guys' take on summer league? I'm liking Ounsil and Smith. Just as energy guys. But I see only Counsil and and Springer making a roster spot just to solidify the perimeter defense. Hoping to move Tobi real soon

Don't worry about the loading of bigs and Joel ain't going anywhere unless he asks out.

Harrell won't play much, he was given a player option last season which he declined. From my understanding of the situation he signed this summer for a year on more money which fits under the new cap more easily for the team. It was a slight of hand from Morey showing good faith to Trez. Unless he gets in some sort of shape he won't likely see the court.

Hopefully we will see Bball Paul on court at the 4 next to Joel. He is naturally a forward. He has been successful as a backup center due to his defensive flexibility that fits so well in the present day NBA.

Nurse has proven in Toronto he likes long, tall line ups and regularly played two 4/5s on court together. I assume we see this more in the upcoming season.

Council is exciting but I don't see him on the roster long. Springer really hasn't come along as I hoped. His defense is awesome, All-Defense ceiling but the rest of his game still has a long way to develop.

I don't think Tobias is getting traded until the Harden situation is cleared up. Whatever and whenever that maybe.
