The Lakers' trade for Bullock makes KCP expendable. Stop going for Davis and make a swap for Vucevic...though the Clippers punting on the season clears the path slightly for the 8 seed.

Harris compliments the rest of the stars very well. Philly has shooters, shot creators and a flat out superstar in Embiid. Bench is obviously not very good but come playoff time that's not going to matter as much. Elton Brand not playing ANY games. Clippers/Knicks/Lakers/Celtics going to be battling hard for guys via trade or FA this summer (KD/Kawhi/Kyrie/AD). Someone is going to leave disappointed.

I do and that’s why I used it however I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad move sure they gave up a lot for an impending FA but this is a pretty good addition for the time being. I imagine they have every intention of resigning him and/or Jimmy and have this core for the next several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about their guard creation in the playoffs J?? Jimmy good enough??? It's a bit anticlimatic to end the process with Butler/Harris/Embiid/Simmons as the core tbh lol. Fultz not working out really ended the chance at something epic Yeah, Jimmy is a guy that can get you buckets late, but so can Harris. More importantly, gives them another shooter which they desperately needed. I would still try to look for another shooter if I was Philly. I wouldn't really say that core 4 is anticlimactic. That's a pretty damn core if you ask me. Fultz not panning out obviously was a bummer. Still holding out hope he eventually gets a respectable jumper where he becomes a legit player.

48 1/2ers Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The Logo does not mess around. I'm curious if this move triggers a corresponding move from Toronto, Milwaukee, or Boston. I feel like Kyle Lowry is the name to watch whether its for Conley or someone else. Also Miami has to do something by the deadline, that roster is a nightmare.

It's just an odd way to allocate your assets imo. Not sure it's a championship core either. Will be interesting to watch, obvi gotta see it before I feel strongly about that. Giving up your asset chest for Tobias Harris is pretty wild but he's good. Jimmy is a good iso scorer but not an offense initiator. Simmons obviously is, but we aren't sure if he can at a high level in the playoffs yet. And it's a lot of shots to go around. Just interesting to have a core without a real guard.

Just interesting to have a core without a real guard. Sure, but late in games Butler will be initiating the offense. Either way, they have so many more late game options compared to last year where they would force feed it to Embiid and watch him get doubled and either launch a contested shot or having to pass it out late in the shot clock. So the 76ers are rolling out Simmons/Redick/Butler/Harris/Embiid? Not bad, not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I were Philly, I'd be working hard to move Jimmy for someone like Jrue in a 3-team deal by Thursday. As a Pels fan, I'd love for this trade to go down: Jrue/McConnell Redick/Moore Simmons/Kenrich Harris/Scott/Bolden Embiid/Mirotic as for the Pels, assuming we let AD play again and Fultz and Smith are able to play again this season... Fultz/Payton Smith/Korkmaz Butler/Miller Davis/Diallo Okafor/Randle Obviously the Pels still aren't making the playoffs this year, but it sets them up nicely for the future when taking into consideration the haul they should (eventually) get for AD.

They need a PF that could space the floor badly, since ben wont shoot a jumper. Dont understand why clippers would give up Harris for that return though. They weren't re-signing him if they sign 2 max FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think the latest reports were that Harris didn't want to wait around while the Clippers tried to chase "bigger" free agents, before making an attempt to sign him as their "fall back" option.

They're more likely to go after DeAndre Jordan than they are Vuc IMO. Plus, I think there's been rumblings about mutual interest about returning to Orlando. And I think the Lakers don't want to completely shutdown the possibility of an Anthony Davis trade, which would require a FRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
