Jroc04 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You also have to remember the serviceable vets that would agree to cheap one year deals to title chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Waiting it out a year and sign someone in FA while Boston loses Kyrie could just be the best move for the team and if said FA we can get is Klay from the Warriors that weakens all parties above us.

Getting Kawai doesn't get you guys over Boston if they're healthy, nor does it get you anywhere close to beating the Warriors. Just wait out this Warrior dynasty and attack titles in 2-3 seasons. I don't think Kawai would stay in the long-term. The needle would need to move sooo much for the 76ers to compete with Golden State and it'd likely cost them their young nucleus. I'm not a 76ers fan, but what you would likely have to give up wouldn't be worth the short-term investment IMO. I couldn't disagree more with getting Kawhi doesn't put us over Boston. It makes us absolute favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm6492 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Boston would have us beat with depth after that trade as we;;. Healthy Kyrie and Hayward are gonna make them real dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 They're gonna be deep for sure. But adding Kyrie and Hayward will change their dynamic. And I'm not sure it'll be for the good. I think their defense suffers when those two are replacing two from their playoff run last year. They absolutely stomped out our perimeter game. It's going to be a bit of a struggle finding their balance in the beginning at least. But Stevens is a boss so it may be a smooth transition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding those two will make them able to exploit matchups against any of our top 8. Will be fun to watch, but them having such versatile players will make Fultz's development key. JJ can be exposed defensively big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way we can right now if is the triumvirate of the process take steps forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have something awesome brewing but so does Boston and we were about a half a step behind them last year. They're going to be better with Kyrie and Hayward but I think the questions about how they'll look reintegrating them into their lineup will be interesting. I'm expecting Markelle to be the real deal. But the Sixers also have a pretty nice prospect in Zhaire. I think given a year or two, he could be real impact player and could help give us an ultra athletic wing to defend some of Boston's wings (Tatum, Brown). Legitimately, Zhaire has best-athlete-in-the-NBA potential. He's a freak. Just needs some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of TLC or Anderson but I guess bringing in Muscala is just our emergency plan because Bjelica backed out on us. Other than that, this is a non-move move. And also, gets us out of their contracts. Anderson was under contract until the end of '20 and TLC (although a team option '20) until the end of '21. As minuscule as the money was, Muscala is a FA after this year. So, it gives us a little more money towards 2019-20. Should have quite a bit. But a lot of holes to fill.

He's a stretch big, so essentially a replacement for Bjelica backing out. He's nothing more than a solid bench big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving those two saves us like 2-2.5M next offseason and helps with roster crunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) As Philly fans what would you guys think of a trade of Sac's pick for K Love, or K Love + Korver? I think hed be a perfect fit as a spot up shooter that'll be great with pick and rolls, get rebounds, and bring a championship culture you guys gotta make a move now with Kawhi going to Toronto Edited July 20, 2018 by brownie man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
