    If we can get a team around Dame that makes sense and has two bonafide all stars to go with him. I think everyone should be on the board.

    I would try to get the deal done for just two first rounders but if they demanded three I'd still pull the trigger.

    The only thing left to consider is if Nurk would fit in with our new talent and if he didn't we could probably trade him to the Rockets for Christian Wood.

    Fantastic trades. I love it!

    So we are left with a bit of a hole at the SG. Unless you play to play Jaylen there like the Celtics are? Can SImonovic start at PF? What's the line up after those trades in your mind. I like that team WAYYY better than the current iteration let me be clear, I'm just asking because we are trading Powell, CJ and Anfernee in this instance. Do you move Nassir Little to SG or have him as 6th man super sub and start McLemore? That seems to be bad on defense. Here is what I would try just because THE DEFENSE OMG!

    PG Dame
    SG Little
    SF Jaylen Brown
    PF Simmons
    C Nurkic

    That's one of the best starting lineups in the league.

    So obviously it’s obvious that at least one of CJ and Powell need to go. The way I look at it is CJs game has a lot more overlap with Ant’s than Powell’s does. Powell can attack the basket which the other two don’t really do as well, especially CJ. Then again Powell also makes half of what CJ does and is younger. He is probably our best bet to get true value in return. Morey is an idiot though. Unless he knows for a fact he’s getting Harden, passing on CJ is just dumb. He’s exactly what Philly needs.

    Also mclemore has been a legit rotational player this season and we don’t have his bird rights. He’s a good bet to be traded, UNLESS the team decides they wanna spend some of the MLE to retain him and end up trading both CJ and Powell. That’s possible too, but they would have to decide on that now. Otherwise they lose him for nothing if they decide not to. And he’s definitely gonna get more than the minimum next time.

    Do you see how the Bulls are part of that three team trade? We trade RoCo for our pick back and them sending DJJ to the Sixers making all of those picks available to trade to the Sixers.

    The idea is that we send RoCo to the bulls then they send jones to Philly and send our pick back to us which we then send to Philly anyway

    Getting our own pick back from the Bulls would seem to unlock many other potential deals.

    Joe?

    I hope Joe is thinking that way. I really hope ownership hasn't given Cronin too much rope. I hope he's under the impression that he has until the end of this season before they decide to give him a contract or look for someone who will make every moment count.

    Usually I skip over people that bore me. I guess I wrote that wrong. I love mocking people though. What's the point of being right if you can't mock people as well???? :devilwink:

    Seriously though, I hope things go better for you. I don't necessarily mean to be an asshole, it's just in my nature.

    Lol ok Daryl. It's hilarious how the media sops up his nonsense. Why Brooklyn would agree to a S&T is a conveniently minor fact that everyone is dismissing.

    The narrative changes everyday with the multi-personality Morey.
    Wasn't it just a few days ago he was open to players ranked #30-40 because of how well Embiid was playing?

    No other GM gets this leash from the media. Must be cuz he does all these public interviews and feeds them leaks.

    Not a horrible idea for Morey to say that at this point. My guess is he does not want 33 million back in contracts of players that are similar in talent to what he already has on his bench. More depth is not going to get them to the next level. He needs a star in return to make a difference. Or some cap space. But that dream seems to be fading
