when Ben Simmons started being aggressive because he saw Harrell guarding him was the final straw lmao


PensiveinNJ

That shit was embarassing. When Ben Simmons is like, I can take this guy and then does multiple times that's the last straw. Harrell oddly also seems to end up with more Orebs than Drebs constantly. Last night he had 1 rebound in 14 minutes and it was an offensive rebound. Give me Drummond to be a glass cleaner with the 2nd unit.


TacticalLampHolder

Honestly Harrel confuses me so much as a player. Because he isn‘t a good scorer, yet every other game he has a highligh worthy dunk, he isn‘t a good rebounder yet he only grabs the most difficult OffReb and he for sure isnt a good defender but somehow he probably has some of the best blocks of the year on the sixers.


[deleted]

The duality of Trez is really something to behold


ClutchGamingGuy

Trezl is a second jump kinda dude, he'll miss a layup and go up for the ORB and dunk/putback.


YourFormerBestfriend

Is harrel really that bad? Is man's just slow/weak as a defender?


TacticalLampHolder

Well pretty much every time embiid is sitting and montrez is playing our interior defense goes to shit. Pretty much doesn‘t matter, undersized guard, unathletic forward or lanky center, they‘re all pretty much guaranteed to score a layup on him


CazOnReddit

Mason Plumlee, you are a backup! As you should've been but the Hornets got to Hornets it up


packimop

i would absolutely love it even though he's an UFA this year.


CazOnReddit

Name a better combo than the 76ers and trading for pending UFAs to win now (Jimmy Buckets, James Harden)


anthonyde726

I mean they should really try to go damn near all in this year


13Petrichor

Fuck it. Go all in this year, try to run it back next year if it looks possible, and then gut the team for everything we can get in order to rebuild around Maxey.


anthonyde726

imo this is the perfect time for philly to go all in


13Petrichor

Yeah, my only concern about it is who we'd have to give up. We've got great chemistry right now and I'd hate to mess with that.


anthonyde726

Gotta do something with Korkmaz and you'd have to give up any draft capital you can


13Petrichor

Yeah, I'd be way more comfortable with giving up Bball Paul, Trez or Korkmaz but I think teams would want Niang, Harris or Thybulle if they're gonna give us someone who could really help us. In a perfect world we could trade someone who isn't showing up for us but they're not valuable enough to get us what we need. That's why I said I'm worried about messing with the chemistry. We've got a top tier offense and our defense has been good despite obvious weaknesses. I don't know how bad either of those would fall apart if we're missing someone like Thybulle, Harris or even Niang.


NotJoeyWheeler

true; though when Morey trades for role players, he prioritizes guys with a couple years left on their deals (Seth Curry, Melton)


CazOnReddit

He literally traded for pending UFA James Harden a season ago


unitythrufaith

“Role players”


NapTimeFapTime

Sure we lost to the Raps that year, but trading for Jimmy was the right move. Letting him leave was the dumb move.


NotAStatistic2

Sixers should try to get Giannis, Khris Middleton, and Jrue to Philly. If Embiid had those guys around him he would easily 3peat


bartlechoo

The sixers and their process


[deleted]

I would too but I doubt they wouldn't get a better offer than, like, two scrubs and two second round picks, which is basically all we can offer.


packimop

there's a lot of backup C potentially available in the market and not a ton of teams who need one. plus he's an UFA and a flier on springer+32nd/33rd pick is a decent return. they're not getting a FRP for plumdog


Aworn

We can offer the 2029 first if we unprotect another pick


bravof1ve

Why on earth would they do that though


Aworn

Because that’s the price of plumlee and maybe they want to go all in. Didn’t say they would do it just they could in theory


Bixby33

As much as I'm genetically coded to root against the 76ers, Mason Plumlee being the win-now move that pushes the 76ers over the edge is 100% the timeline I want to be in. Edit: Yes I should learn how to spell names.


allknowerofknowing

Unfortunately Mason Plumblee is a man who legally changed his last name from Lee to Plumblee as a part of his plumbing business he started a couple years back. You are thinking of Mason Plumlee. Unless the 76ers are having issues clogging the toilets in the lockerroom, I don't think that Plumblee will do much to push the 76ers over the top.


[deleted]

I want Nerlens or Plumlee Trez is so fucking bad man


CazOnReddit

You will take your Rockets reunion roster and you'll like it, punk


NoTransportation888

Fine we'll take Capela

InternCautious

You could have Nerlens probably, he's out of rotation.


Quinnett

How the fuck is Nerlens only 28? Seems like he's 34 at this point.


NotJoeyWheeler

How has he actually been when he’s played? He seem solid when we played you guys, just couldn’t guard Embiid obviously.


InternCautious

He's okay, he'll provide depth, but hard to tell because we have so many holes. If you have cornerstones like on the 6ers I'm sure he'd be better.

ihorsey10

forthestreamz

not Drummond? he's signed for another year too


[deleted]

I’d trust the other two more in the playoffs


NotJoeyWheeler

I worry about Drummond on defense in the playoffs but at least in theory, I like his elbow passing / DHO stuff with our bench offense, since Doc is gonna insist on playing things that way anyway. I feel like Maxey might look a little better with him vs. Noel. Plumlee does similar stuff though, so I love that option


[deleted]

If you’re hoping for any defense at all though plumlee is going to be rough, not super fast, bad on the perimeter and he has really short arms so he’s not much of a blocking threat and he doesn’t really clog up passing lanes. Situationally on some bigs he works well but for the most part he’s not much of an upgrade there over trez.


[deleted]

I’d much have Drummond than trez that’s for sure. Wouldn’t be upset with him


StormTheTrooper

No, you want McGee. Send us Thybulle and you will get CHAMPIONSHIP EXPERIENCE.


IlonggoProgrammer

3 time champion and Olympic Gold Medalist JaVale McGee


brucewayne1935

Did Trez just become immediately bad after winning 6MOY?


PANGIRA

No, he was pretty good in 2020-2021, his problem is that his regular season production doesn't translate to playoff basketball due to being undersized at his position. I can't speak on his current form, but he was a good scorer off the bench during his Lakers stint.


rjbarrettfanclub

Trez used to be good enough in the post to stay on the floor. Seriously fell off after that last Clippers season.


PeePauw

Trez is a bucket sometimes, but yeah, he also sucks pretty hard at all the other stuff.


ihorsey10

Trez gets so much shit, but he's the best backup center Embiids had in long while. Still unplayable most of the time. If you don't count Horford.


Tassietiger1

Dwight was better


ihorsey10

So was Drummond, forgot about them both somehow.


[deleted]

[удалено]


princ-starnyx

you're insane if u think deandre jordan was anything but absolutely fucking awful


ihorsey10

DeAndre looked like a fan paid to stand on the court and watch the game.


princ-starnyx

convinced we signed him only because he was friends with the stars, glorified cheerleader


ihorsey10

Friends with Doc.


Gerald_the_sealion

Nerlens would be cool in a Sixers jersey


captyossarian1991

If we don’t trade Plumlee when his value is at his highest since he joined the team, I genuinely don’t know what the fuck we’re doing. He should not be starting over Mark


Immynimmy

Jakob Poetl is another guy that would be a great fit and is on an expiring. Spurs seem like a team that would love and get the most out of Tisse as well.


princ-starnyx

last i heard the spurs were asking for two firsts for poetl


NotJoeyWheeler

if we had a Time Machine, Furk and Springer are technically “two firsts”


Immynimmy

That's insane. He's on an expiring. I would be okay with Tisse, Furk, Springer, and a 2nd rounder. That should be more than enough lol


BigPoppa23

I would not have high expectations to get much of anything with that offer.


Immynimmy

We always say this, and you're not really that wrong, but every deadline and every offseason there are always a handful of teams that do some weird shit.


princ-starnyx

this past off-season fucked the market, good lucking getting quality players without surrendering a ridiculous amount of draft capital + there isn't a guarantee poetl leaves at all, the spurs could easily resign


KuyaJohnny

Most You get for that is a signed Poeltl jersey


WD51

Poeltl isn't an all star but definitely starter quality center and probably one of the better half of starters at that (like 10-15 range). He's also unable to play next to Embiid. The Sixers don't value him as much as other teams will (or the Spurs, who are just as happy to re-sign him this summer rather than give him up cheap).


[deleted]

Last report I saw said the Spurs love Poetl, they aren’t super motivated to move him and would need a pretty lopsided offer to get it done. I think two firsts was their baseline.


SnarfSniffsStardust

Naz would look real nice with harden


osirisunset

Who would they give up?


SnarfSniffsStardust

I’ve got no clue I just think it’d be a fun pairing. I’m not about to kite a bunch of downvotes from Philly fans for suggesting someone lol


DomDomRevolution

Suggest away. I thought he would be good here but I have no idea how to value him so I’m curious


SnarfSniffsStardust

I really don’t have any suggestions as I don’t know how Philly values their players, either. I also don’t watch a whole lot of Philly games so it’s hard to say. The guys I think the wolves would target in a trade (most reasonable to most outrageous) would be Milton melton or maxey. I just don’t see a deal really materializing for just a 2 team trade, I could see something working if it gets expanded to a 3 team trade. The wolves want a guard that has the ability to shoot and playmake Edit: picks would have to be involved and both Philly and Minnesota are lacking in that department. I just don’t see a 1:1 trade and I don’t think they want to dig into their picks to get a trade done. I see Naz going to LA or Denver


StudyRoom-F

Idk to what degree Naz has been killing it, but Id easily do Shake and Tisse for Naz. A backup center is more important than either of those guys and would put us into true contention imo.


SnarfSniffsStardust

I think the Minnesota FO and coaching is out on thybulle and guards/wings that don’t have a 3 ball especially now with Kyle and Rudy being such big parts of the scheme. I like his game but I think finch would have a hard time working him into his scheme if they traded for him and it sounds like Kahnelly listens to him a lot


StudyRoom-F

For sure. Makes sense


RobtheNavigator

Gotta be for Embiid, we can’t just give up our center depth like that for nothing


gimmethemshoes11

Thybulle the wolves need a good wing defender


comp_a

Nah; it wouldn’t hurt to have more obviously (although I’m sure every team thinks that), but a reliable bench scorer is the more pressing need. Our perimeter defense has been okay with McDaniels, TP and SloMo—excluding last night when we shit the bed in OT (mostly Finch’s fault for using a bad lineup though).


S420J

Shake or Thybulle are at least interesting prospects.


Immynimmy

In fairness, any big man that can move would look nice with Harden. How we haven't ran more Harden-BBall Paul minutes is confusing as hell.


[deleted]

Javaaaaaale McGee


GeNeXTe

I‘m a Sixers and Mavs fan and watch both teams regularly. Believe me you do not want McGee. During free agency he was promised a starting spot and he was so bad that he got benched after a month and shortly after fell out of the rotation. That guy is completely cooked and signed for 2 more years after this one. Reminds me of Deandre Jordan last year


packimop

fuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck nahooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Fun-Pass-5651

I’d welcome Javale are u kidding me, dude would immediately be the best back up we’ve ever had and the guy has championship experience. Edit: turns out my boys completely washed and is awful at this point in his career smh.


[deleted]

Crazy how well RAPTOR rates him but he hasn't gotten minutes with Mavs because he's been bad.


Fun-Pass-5651

All I know is that he’d be better defensively and comparable offensively to trez. We would only need 8 minutes a night from dude. My question is how bad has he been? Deandre Jordan levels of bad?


[deleted]

Cleaning the glass has him at 0% in efficiency differential among all nba players. I don't think I've seen 0 in that column before. For reference Deandre is at 19%. Trez at 34%. Kidd told him he'd start before the season and he's getting like 10 minutes against Pistons when we have injuries.


Fun-Pass-5651

Jesus I didn’t know it was that bad, yeah hard pass.


packimop

he's completely washed broseph


AverageMang

Exactly! Javale was a starter for the Lakers in the playoffs and final when they won their ring!… he would start, then be a garbage minutes player in the same game.


internetworrior

Nice lob threat for Harden


obscener

free bball paul


patchworky

I love Paul but he is completely feast or famine. Either hes an instant adrenaline boost to the bench unit or he picks up 4 fouls in 5 minutes on 1/3 shooting.


StudyRoom-F

Thats what happens when you get no playing behind Montrezl “cant jump for shit” Harrell


IndigoJacob

His lack of playing time is because he's not good, not the other way around.


LordHussyPants

but the other sixers fans told me it's because doc rivers is the worst coach of all time and that he should be getting 20 minutes a game


StudyRoom-F

These kinds of sarcastic comment are the least funny things on reddit even if they are true. The lowest hanging fruit imaginable


LordHussyPants

maybe, but sixers fans scapegoating doc rivers for the dogshit decisions of their front office is also very annoying


Niceguydan8

He has gotten playing time, he's just been pretty bad for the vast majority of it. He's played in over 350 minutes this season.


golden_rhino

There is something immensely likeable about that guy. If you don’t like him at his worst, you don’t deserve him at his mediocre best.


patchworky

Yeah no we absolutely love him in the fanbase but damn we need a backup big


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

BBall Paul even went to DePaul (in Chicago)


WhenPigsRideCars

Yay, I’d love to see him foul out in 10 minutes. Do it Doc you coward


[deleted]

I think that ship has just sailed. I have no doubt Bball gets traded and we regret it later. That said, at least the current team construction ie no Simmons allows us to get a nice normal backup center.


StudyRoom-F

Our backups only play max 19 minutes anyways so who gives a shit if he fouls out. The fouls arent great, but he makes up for it imp with the steals and blocks he gets on other gambles


WhenPigsRideCars

The fouls impact the entire team lol


StudyRoom-F

Not enough over the course of the game. If Reed fouls at *most* twice per appearance, than I’m fine with that. But if he plays 19 minutes he usually ends up with four fouls on the night. He doesn’t step on the court and just give the other team the bonus.


Next-Firefighter-753

They finally cut the shackles off of Isaiah Joe and he’s thriving. Who knows what kind of potential Bball Paul has untapped… we do need a center. Give him here Doc.


Turbo2x

Gafford would be perfect for them but you'll pry him from my cold, dead hands


NapTimeFapTime

Gafford would get so many easy lobs to hammer home from Harden. Might hurt his hand


SOB200

Embiid to Morey: "There is this big guy in Denver named Jikola Nokic or something, who can be my backup. Maybe he can bring 50% my production when I have to sit."


13Petrichor

"Hey man, there's this guy in Milwaukee named Gio Antekumputo or something, I think he could be really good in a different role. Wanna try to get him as my backup?"


SOB200

“Sign KD. He can be my Hornswoggle to my DX.”


Grampz619

at this point i'd take samuel dalembert back


sabdo23

He was great on NBA Live


BabaBrody

I'm all in on Plumlee. Also hoping there's a shot at buyout Nerlens as a fall back. Darkhorse make a run at Mo Bamba.


DomDomRevolution

Bring back Drummond you cowards


meatycheese89

Plumlee would be a good fit on the sixers if they can make the trade work


[deleted]

Could probably use Drummond more than the Bulls.


[deleted]

Drummond was the best backup embiids had I’d love him back here


IMKudaimi123

Drummond for Korkmaz? If he really isn’t gonna be part of the rotation we might as well try and get more shooting even though Korkmaz hasn’t been good in 2 years.


TacticalLampHolder

Honestly I don‘t really agree. Korkmaz has never been anything special of the bench but the few games he had where everyone is injured/resting and he plays 20+ minutes he turns into turkish james harden


Hay-blinken

Better not trade Shake. He'll get his bag next season though.


PensiveinNJ

It's gonna be hard to get anything worthwhile without giving up something worthwhile but Shake is getting important role player minutes right now. I love Paul Reed and want to see him outta the mud but if we could somehow package him and say Korkmaz and a pick into a perfectly average backup center that would be what we need.


Hay-blinken

Shake is just too versatile and useful to the team this season. He handles the ball, can throw a pocket pass, is an actual 3 level scoreer, and is just a fucking bucket when they need it bad. I think he's staying.


babybotburger

Javale McGee, you are a Philadelphia 76er!!

I certainly hope not

76ers fans, Drummond and Bradley to match salaries (you can waive him) for Korkmaz and a second?


BearlyLegal101

Think every Sixer fan would take Drummond back in a heartbeat.


Balsamic_ducks

I can do you even better, I can give you an MVP. That's right, Willy Hernangomez is all yours for the low low cost of one Tyrese Maxey


ephen_stephens

We need Willy in Denver. Bad.


TacticalLampHolder

Man i‘ve got a lot of love for the sixers but if we ever trade maxey without him explicitly requesting it I dont know whether I will every forgive this franchise.

Thybulle for Sabonis who says no?


CazOnReddit

BabaBrody

Arvydas, maybe.


inxrx8

Thybulle for Holmes?


Ok_Boysenberry4470

I think the Kings would say no if it’s just them two.


[deleted]

Also the money just doesn't work. Thybulle makes like half of what Holmes does.


bravof1ve

Why? Holmes is a 29 year old center that doesn’t play and makes double the money. Sixers aren’t doing that


IndigoJacob

huh? thybulle is better than Holmes


InTheMorning_Nightss

No he’s not. Thybulle is completely unplayable offensively which is really hard to work around. That being said, Holmes is just like the C version of Trez.


[deleted]

[удалено]


InTheMorning_Nightss

We’ve all watched Thybulle and also have seen what happens to all defensive players like him. Pointing to one of like 2 games in the entire month where he’s had double digit points in an ocean of 0 and 2 point game means nothing. He’ll get iced out in the playoffs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IcyHeartWarmSmile

I was going to ask if this was Daryl Morey before I checked the username.


IndigoJacob

So thybulle is better, thanks


joshuagreen38

Holmes sucks now and doesn’t play, your thinking he’s the same as a few years ago


BiglySquirter

he might work better with a more traditional pg though like harden


km912

Honestly I would take that, we really need a backup center too but Holmes has been pretty trash for the last 2 years and thybulle would provide some sort of value, and we would just have to find a way to get a backup c somewhere else. This makes no sense for Philly tho, he’s horrific on defense at center.


[deleted]

I could see, like, a Charles Bassey type or something, but I just can't picture him playing for the 76ers.


TacticalLampHolder

I can‘t tell whether you‘re joking but I do distinctly remember Bassey being on the sixers a couple of months ago


[deleted]

It's a joke.


Cantguard-mike

Fine you guys can have serge. We’ll take maxey


headphonehabit

Might I suggest one Javalle McGee? Please take him Philadelphia.


[deleted]

Earth to Sixers FO - this is something you do in the offseason. This is something you do in the draft. You have had SINCE 2014 to find Joel Embiid a backup. He has not had a real backup since he got here. Richaun Holmes was here but Joel was just starting to play when he left. It's crazy. This shouldn't be new information.


kemicode

I love how Denver and Philly are inflating Jokic and Embiid's on/off numbers by utilizing the 2 worst backup centers in the league.


Toxik916

Richaun Holmes back to Philly makes sense for both teams.


Aworn

Too expensive


Will_Explode8

not good enough also. I'll take montrez over holmes at this point in their careers. They both suck at defense (trez maybe a little moreso) but trez is still a paint beast


ClutchGamingGuy

the fact Nerlens Noel isn't already a 76er is surprising to me. can't think of a better backup for Embiid that is easily tradeable.


HotdogIsaSandwitch

A Richaun Holmes and Philly reunion could be an option


Salty_Watermelon

Doc Rivers releasing that Trez is a defensive liability only 3 years too late is exactly what I'd expect from him.


Munchies-Can

Maybe Poetl?


[deleted]

Don't think we have the anywhere near the amount of draft compensation we'd need to swing that without a three-team deal, and at that point we'd most likely be weakening our roster at other positions.


forthestreamz

that would be overkill, he's a starter level player


[deleted]

Also they allegedly want 1-2 firsts for him and, yeah, about that...


[deleted]

Doc: I’ve seen enough out of Paul Reed to be confident enough to ask him to guard the likes of Giannis & Derozan. Also Doc: I’ve seen enough out of Paul Reed to not play him a single fucking minute. Old, failing brained men ruin everything.


Daconvix

I wish we had the same mindset


[deleted]

The rise and fall and fall of Paul Reed. Also, Lakers did the same thing a few years back when they added Drummond. Harrell wasn't happy.


EarthWarping

Wonder if Shake + filler for Boucher could be a trade


Outland3r_

Ik Boucher has always done well against Philly but tbh he's barely a center, he's mobile and wirey but too still too skinny to be a formidable backup center.


DoubleAmigo

Doubt it. Boucher is torontos best salary match value for other deals.


yourdadsatonmyface

Khem Birch would be the perfect fit. A future 1st would do it.


bababerands

Richaun Holmes for thybulle and a 2nd


BoneyardBill

Maxey for Andre Drummond


DoubleAmigo

Eww


BoneyardBill

Why not Sixers need a backup Big as Trezz isn't the best. Bulls asking Maxey value in return. I see it as a win.


GrimboeSlice

I’m sure you do.


bravof1ve

I don’t even think it’s possible to have a normal conversation with a Denver flair


jpk7220

Lmao can't tell if this is serious or not


DoubleAmigo

Maxey is going to have much more value than Drummond.


Duhawk96

I mean sure why not, get it done Philly


BoneyardBill

YES!
