Oh my God! Free agency coming is a thing for me again! Harden opting in means the Sixers should be eligible for the MLE now. @The Q can you confirm?

Correct.

Respect to anyone that ever made one quietly and it didn’t get out.

How soon will kyrie catch james?

 

[bksballer89]

Waste of a top 10 pick

I bet he’s already ahead in truth.

Depends what you pay mcdaniels and reed in fa

They could’ve had Zion and garland…and they traded back and whiffed…twice

 

[The Q]

Correct.

Depends what reed and mcdaniels get

If they get like 15m combined I think they’re gonna be over the second apron

If they get under the second apron can they use the midlevel?

Yes

They could keep 1 of those 2....use the MLE and get a vet at minimum to replace 1 of the 2 they lost to use the MLE.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yes

Then personally I would redo BBall Paul for 8-10 per year and let McDaniel walk or at least leave him last on your list because I think you can find better on the midlevel market.

I’m not sure that’s true.

But it’s an option

I hope Minnesota lands him anyway lol

 

[fightinfunbags]

Would have loved having this guy. I like him at 18 per year too.

 

[trojanfan12]

He might. Depends on how much he wants to stay with his family in LA. Most of the offers he's gonna get are gonna be vet min type deals anyway. MLE at most. So if he gets some partial MLE or a BAE from some average team out East vs taking the min and staying with his family in LA, I could see him staying with the Clippers

^^^This guy gets it.^^^

Maybe Nurse will be able to get more out of him. But I’m thinking about a Harden-less Sixers and who is going to run PG. Maxey is 6’3’’ and that’s his easy defensive position. But he’s not a playmaker yet. I also like multiple ball handlers on the floor to close out games especially play off games.

 

[tlance]

Why would PHX want him? Makes them worse.

DBook, Harden, KD and Beal LOL

Makes the Clippers worse too.

Trade your depth to reunite Russ and Harden?

No thanks.

 

[tlance]

Wowzers. Hard to believe Harden opted in.
That's a best case scenario for the Sixers long term plans and avoids the 3-4 year albatross deal for Harden.

However, some of the suggested returns (Powell and a Morris twin) are less than stellar.
Would rather we just run it back, then have Harden and Harris come off the books.
Pay Maxey and get one other star player.

I think that Clippers proposed package would be pretty good.
