his vaccination stance aside, i really like the idea of adding thybulle for just the cost of taking on more salary (korkmaz, etc). from his social media stuff, he looks like a fun character and would bring much needed levity to the squad, much like ingles/hart. he would be a problem to play in the playoffs but he's gonna win us regular season games with his disruptive defense. he's a really poor rebounder so his fit with Grant would be a bit tricky, but it's very easy to get him on the floor for 25-30 mpg if we stagger the rotation a bit. to go against him and nas for 48 minutes is hell for opposing teams and i have been desperately wanting that. And i would hope Chauncey lets thybulle gamble and play his unconventional way to get the most out of him ( i thought doc really handcuffed him).
They have to get rid of contracts to make room. They are more willing to move him than you think. Not free no, but it won't cost much at all as long as they are able to get Gordon.
yeah a team can never have enough players that can give opponents hell defensively. Sign me up for Thybulle if the price is right. plus guys from the NW aren’t gonna be haters of it like Olshey
Maybe. Trying to move Bledsoe in the deal for sure. Dallas wants Thybulle too. I could see them beating us out.
Would it look like this? Guards: Dame/ Ant Wings: Grant/ Thybulle/ Hart/ Little/ Sharpe Bigs: Nurk/ Watford
i don't see why Houston would need to be involved. Can be two separate deals. We deal with Philly for Thybulle. Philly deals with Houston for Gordon. I kinda think the push to get the Thybulle contract out has more to do with Philly's pursuit of PJ Tucker, and the Gordon stuff is tangential.
After the Phi/Mem deal, they need Thybulle's salary (+ others) to be traded out as ballast to get Gordon. That's why it needs to be a 3way. Actually - in looking at their roster/payroll, it will be really tough for 76ers to send out enough salary unless it is part of a bigger deal that includes Harris.
Sure. The way it's been presented sounds like Philly wanted someone to jump into the Houston deal and make it a three team deal to make it easier/ more viable to get Gordon.
