    Also, if Philadelphia goes over the cap resigning their own guys, then they could add talent and assets that they couldnt otherwise.

    I have to agree that Meyers as a backup would allow them to run the same pick and pops they do for Embiid. Trent could be a good shooter for them, and they need those, and the picks are always nice to have. They take on short term salary and a bunch of young assets. That's a good deal for most teams.

    What about this:

    Harkless and a 2020 1st (Top-10 Protected)

    For

    Mikal Bridges and Aron Baynes

    It saves us about $1.5 million, Baynes is an okay fill in for Nurk, and Mikal is another young wing to add to the mix.

    That's what I'm thinking. Take advantage of teams that are being stupid right now.

    Did you see their draft day moves? I agree it's hard to imagine though!

    Hey, if we could get Bridges for Harkless and a first, I'd be all over it. Just doesn't seem plausible

    Not feeling that at all... Not a big fan of Moe, but attaching a 1st to Moe and all the Blazers get back is PJ Tucker, Rather just let Moe leave next year.

    It also opens us up to give the full MLE, I believe. PJ Tucker is one of the best 3&D players in the nba, he can guard 1-4.

    He's a career 36% shooter, and he'll be 34 next year... Not a fan of him, opening up the full MLE is good I guess...

    He’s also playoff tested and has been trusted to defend some of the best players in the world 1 on 1. We need a guy who can D up Durant, LeBron, Kawhi, PG, etc.

    Not really a knock against Tucker. I don't think anyone strikes fear in any of those guys.

    I don't think it is enough to open up the full MLE. It's only 3M. Hoopsjock had a good post on how much we would need to cut which is ~5M.

    With the thought that Kemba is going to Boston.....perhaps Charlotte is looking to move on from Batum.

    Would you deal Harkless, Leonard and Skal for Batum? He has 2 years left on his deal.
