I think the 10 days between the draft and beginning of free agency makes any trades involving both problematic. I know it can be done, but the variables that can change just about every calculation are many and large
I would do that deal. Look at it this way. If last year I said if we tank twice, we can get Embiid for Ant/Nurk, we’d also hell yes. We would be able to flesh out a roster around them. Look at what the Lakers did. Dame/Reddish/Thybulle/Grant/Embiid would contend with a couple nice additions using MLE and Knicks pick. Plus ring chasers with vet min. Our defense would be really good. Offense would be better too obviously.
Would love to trade the #23 pick for Hart as well but that ship probably sailed. Dame Hart Bridges Grant Embiid Heck, even slot Norman Powell in at the 2 would be fine with the rest of those 4 starters. Instead we have Keon Johnson.
Who's a free agent? I don't see anyone involved in a potential trade that is. I think Harden and Morey have a good enough long relationship that Morey will know if Harden is staying or going at the draft.
How much of a disaster would it be for phili who tanked for almost a decade to now blow it all up and have to start over? Hahahahahahaha!!!!
Depth isn’t that bad. We’d have Reddish, Thybulle, Mays, Little, Eubanks, and Keon. Plus ring chasers.
true, and apparently my hearing th is getting bad. True story wife set up dr appt for my hearing I said I hear fine besides the constant ringing in my ears. So I go in take the hearing test and I’m like I killed this test I can’t wait to go home and rub it in wife’s face. Then dr comes in says you could probably use hearing aid you can’t hear higher pitched tones. Then he said like women’s voices will be harder for you to hear, I was devastated I’m to young for hearing aid. At least I have excuse that I can’t hear the wife BTW- did ringing in ears is because my brown is trying to make up for tones I can’t hear well. Sorry long story lol
Ok how about this 3 way; Blazers get Embiid and Mikal Bridges Brooklyn gets Nurkic and #3 Philly gets Sharpe, Simons, 2027 & 2029 Blazers unprotected picks, Philly own 2027 pick back from Brooklyn
See my post above. Embiid for Simons, Sharpe, and three great picks, two unprotected from the Blazers and Philly own 2027 1st. Bridges for Nurk and #3. Give Chicago a 2nd to unprotect next years. If you think Philly needs more, the Blazers could throw in pick #23, change the picks to unprotected 2026 2028 2030, plus 3 years of unprotected swaps. Those unprotected picks the Blazers send out when both Dame and Embiid are done are crazy valuable. Has a ton of risk to the Blazers long term, but gives you a real contending big 3 this next season with Dame/Embiid/Bridges.
Not sure, especially as a 3 way trade its hard with more parties and he struggled in simple negotiations. Blazers need Embiid to sign off, Bridges, 6ers, Nets, Jody, Vulcans.
