If the goal is to build a champion around VJ’s prime the better move would be to just trade Maxey for an OKC super haul and tank for the next 2 seasons. Not that I would advocate for that but it’s a logical plan.

We’re stuck with PG for 2 more years and Embiid for 3. This was the 1 of the next 3 seasons to pay the tax and try to thread needle (get out of the east). PG and Embiid are actually healthy and who knows when that’s going to happen again. No rational fan should take this team seriously.

Not good enough. Just Morey being Morey and Harris being Harris. This franchise is not serious.

Aww, I liked McCain.. Don’t like this deal at all. OKC has like 5 first round picks next year. I hope the Sixer’s at least got some flexibility on the one they will receive. Morey is terrible

This is a nice proactive move by Jo here. This may be his best chance to make it out of the east but they will need some luck.

I held TM throughout last year and didn’t see gains like that. Oh well

The problem with punting this season is we’re almost 100% punting the next three seasons as well. We have no draft pics coming after this season and no cap space until we can unload PG. Punting season after season is not sustainable. They have no choice but to compete this year.

Sounds good to me but an additional factor is they have no pics to move in the upcoming draft. I’m happy to see the Sixer’s sit this one out because getting greedy and moving any of the 2027/28 assets, with our fragile top heavy core, would likely be a disastrous failure.

Any chance Colorado gets in on any of the action before NY?

Dogs being dogs.
