Seems like the '6ers did a decent job getting a return given the situation.

With regards to this season and in terms of players... Philly got a lot of assorted trash from the Clippers, although KJ Martin may be a serviceable role player.

Gotta think Philly will make another move this year if they really want to compete for a title this year.

The Clippers are 'going for it', I guess... but I wouldn't bet a wooden nickel on that team amounting to a true championship contender.

I saw it with Embiid. He got better shots than at any point in his career playing with Harden. I expect Harden to have the same impact for Kawhi and PG13. @Mecca hates it but the Clippers got better.

The Sixers won this trade and it’s not close. Gettng rid of a cancer always helps. Westbrook is having a career shooting year, let’s see what happens to that.

Wonder how long it will be before Harden is upset in Los Angeles and demands a trade....

I guess it’s too early for people to say “You know what @fightinfunbags you were right in the end”. Should be a good day though.

I guess you would have to be more specific about what you were right about. You have literally been all over the place on Harden so yeah you had to be right at some point.

I’m going to be watching the news headlines to see if @Mecca has an adverse reaction to this.

Too early for your little victory lap

At least let people brush their teeth and have their first cup of coffee before you start

When everyone said Morey was delusional with the value for Harden I pushed back on that. I was told that I was delusional as well. I remember @DJ @trojanfan12 and you all at various times tells me that I was nuts on Harden’s value. They got 2 firsts, 2 seconds, a pick swap and they got rid of the last two years of PJ Tucker’s contract that always promised to be an overpay for the last year of the 3 year deal.

Eating crow is like drinking orange juice. You save the teeth brushing for after you consume it.

As ecstatic as I am, I do feel for her. But this shit was her or me and I’m glad he’s gone.

Now I just need my guy BBall Paul to convince the staff that he isn’t a 5 and to go grab that starting 4 spot open now with Tucker gone.

When it comes to @Mecca i would never say it’s her or me. You better retract that lol.
It was musical chairs and I’ll knock down my grandmother to grab that last chair.
OKC - got a chair
Hou - got a chair
Nets - got a chair
Sixers - we got a chair baby!
Clippers - no chair

Congrats on the picks....

You told everybody on here the Sixers need Mann because RoCo and Morris are washed....and you may have said Batum was washed. I don't remember on him.

What changed with this trade? Martin is the player you got back that will crack the rotation?

It was a good trade for Philly. However, the window for Embiid to win a championship continues to shorten. What is the plan moving forward? I don't see us competing against the Celtics now. I wish Morey could have unloaded Harris somewhere.

Celtics won their third in a row last night.

76ers are scrambling because they know that the road going forward will be more than bumpy for them.

Brown and Tatum scored 28 of their 32 3rd quarter points and sat the entire 4th along with Porzingas and White.

For the second time this season, Celtics scored over 40 points in the first period.

Just agreeing with @bksballer89, Brush your teeth, take your meds, comb your hair and make your bed, before having that first cup of coffee and trying to run a victory lap in the Everglades.
