No I’m not. I’m looking forward to a lot of years of watching Giddey and Williams. We don’t need a big that scores that much. Thanks though!

His proposal is too much.

But…

If you can get that deal without JDub in it? Which I think would be fair?

You do it.

It makes you a contender right away.

And as fun as the full core is, there is no guarantee you do get to contender status without a big move like this one.

Giddey, Dort, the other Jwill and 6 firsts?

Philly is not getting a better package anywhere else.

I was just saying philly has to get j will in this deal IMO

Giddey is not a deal breaker for me

I can work around not getting him

I like Embiid, don’t see it happening. The Thunder will contend pretty quickly here, I’m confident in that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they move up this year

They have a lot of picks, almost too many

A consolidation trade for a veteran has to be coming as well

I think they’d be smart to go for embiid.

Good guy to play next to Chet

You got enough picks to find some other wings

The Ohio state kid is an elite offensive prospect who would be fun next to those 2 in the front court

I expect Presti to keep getting long wings that can defend and shoot, just what he does. He will get a veteran big guy soon I think, he has to. He is leading the charge for positionless basketball though, I don’t see it changing.

He’s also the guy who drafted Steven Adams

He knows you need some beef

That was a different time though. He overpaid for Adams and had to let him go. He would look great here on a reduced deal now though.

I don’t think it happens either.

Just saying, definitely worth thinking about.

The ESPN guys seem to think Harden got Rivers fired

Not sure philly is if harden goes back to Houston

Embiid.....Maxey would be the #2 next season and natural progression ad no Harden means he could grow into that role plus Harris. Not a bad trio.

No doubt I would consider it as long as J Wil is not part of the deal.

@thunderc i have a trade proposal for you:
OKC gets -
Joel Embiid
Furkan Korkmaz
Sixers get -
Jalen Williams (the one that made All Rookie)
Josh Giddey
Lu Dort
Dario Saric
6 1st round picks that’s a mix and match of OKC’s own picks (about 3) and various 1st rounders they own from other teams.

Big 3 of Embiid SGA and Chet plus whatever they can bring in this draft plus future drafts to enhance. They may be able to bring in another FA like Middleton to help round out the group.

Sixers get a new young core, let Morey and Harden walk, hold on to Harris for 39 million of cap relief and are now able to spend money on a FA next summer.

You in?

Does that even match salary cap wise?

Have not looked up the salaries of the OKC players.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Idoka now looks crazy for rushing to accept that Houston job

Yep.

Sixers: Kendrick Perkins blames James Harden for Doc Rivers exit

Kendrick Perkins is disgusted that the Sixers decided to keep James Harden and fire Doc Rivers after the tough end to their season.

If Philly hires D'antoni you will know Harden put his thumb on the scale.
