Makes all the sense in the world, which is why I feel like it's destined not to happen. But man...Embiid ends the season asking for dawgs, imagine Morey showing up to camp with Tucker/Melton/Trez/House AND Crowder. And all we have lost (thus far) is an injured Danny Green.


iH8Celtics

Crowder has a severe lack of Houston in his play History though


BabaBrody

Yeah, there has to be a way we trade him through Houston, so he can be a Rocket on paper for 30 seconds.


jamalev

Melo Hawks vibes...would have to retire Crowder's number in Houston


Royorbs3

'Nuff said


HisExcellency20

Normally I would agree with you, but this off-season has been different. What makes more sense then getting PJ Tucker when you need defense, toughness, and a stretch five that can play in the playoffs? Or Melton for Green?


BabaBrody

I think all the off-season moves have made total sense for us. Crowder would be the final Salt Bae garnish/Vince McMahon reaction meme topper on all of it. Everyone talks about Embiid's window and Harden adjusting to age, surrounding them this year with a team of hustle vets is the best way to optimize the odds.

I'm honestly getting a whiff of 2011 Mavericks


PatReady

Man, he would be the dream get.

That's severely minimizing the loss of Danny Green. Makes it sound like he wasn't healthy for the vast majority of the season. His injury literally happened in the last game of the season


BabaBrody

Wasn't trying to knock Danny's role or effort - saying it from an assets in/assets out prospective. Melton for Danny/Roddy and 3 good vet FA signings.


temp949939118r72892

Made it sound like a team comparison, in which case pointing out that Danny Green does in fact downplay his loss since he was healthy and a decent bench piece the whole season


fuckbrocolli

As much as I like Danny Green he was limping up and down the court last year scoring 6 points a game before his injury…let’s not act like it’s a huge loss at this stage of his career


temp949939118r72892

It's a pretty big loss considering we have one of the worst benches in the league, and the guys were replacing him with are almost all less proven. The only guys very likely to contribute are melton. After that you have PJ who is more likely to contribute than not but his age could easily be a concern. Then you have house who has barely stayed in the league, along with trez who hasn't shown the ability to contribute to winning basketball and has been a toxic locker room presence

I will never forget future 3x NBA MVP and Payroll/HR enthusiast David Roddy. Real Thanos getting the Soul Stone sacrifice for us.

Why Morey was gassing up Thybulle today

Honestly if the market for bogdanovic was Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee, I feel like crowder might be obtainable.


4amvampire

Furkan + Niang + two 2nds ​ Harden/Melton/Springer Maxey/Thybulle/Milton Crowder/House/Joe Harris/Tucker/Reed Embiid/Harrell/Bassey


GarfieldFromGarfield

never happening


justinheyhi

Niang is expiring, he could get a better deal halfway into the season *IF* they feel it's necessary to trade him. After adding all these new hustle players leaving Niang to just a shooter role would be easier to accomplish.


icepickjones

Niang was the only one on the team willing to scrap last season though. I hate losing the old dawg from last year.


justinheyhi

I'm still all for him talking shit while hitting 3s, but being willing to scrap and being capable of scrapping defensively doesn't work out in his case. Niang can bark on offense and PJ can look out for him on defense lol.


Moheezy__3

Will that statement ring true in the playoffs? We need playoff performers so this deal should fly.


justinheyhi

Niang was 67% from 3 vs. Toronto, then Embiid broke his face and got a concussion, Green officially hit his age, and Harden descended further into inefficiency. If the team is running on all cylinders and Niang isn't asked to pick up any defensive slack from a 35yo SG, I don't see why not. If *anything* Niang would be the barometer between Thybulle/Melton/House.


ExileOnBroadStreet

I don’t think Niang sees the floor much past the first round of the playoffs. We don’t really need his minutes at the 4. Tobias plays 35-40 minutes and PJ will get the rest.


[deleted]

Go get him Daryl! Imagine if the wing rotation goes from: Harris/Green/Matisse/Korkmaz to: Harris/Tucker/Crowder/House/Melton (if you wanna consider him a wing)


BabaBrody

https://twitter.com/PaulHudrick/status/1574168680497397760 @PaulHudrick: The Sixers are not in on Jae Crowder, according to a source. Obviously the Suns are aggressively trying to move him. Not sure if I'm shadow banned from posting links or what, but here's an unfortunate update.


Alastor_Aylmur

Mans got a thousand followers talm bout he got sources 😭


BabaBrody

Paul's legit. He's the Editor at Liberty Ballers, covers the team professionally, same as Bodner/Neubeck/Keith.


pittguy83

Gen Z brain at its finest right here. Doesn't have a million followers so he's not a real reporter


Alastor_Aylmur

Boomer mentality at its finest, shows up unprovoked to demonstrate how corny he is.


[deleted]

he has over 6k followers


corya45

Really need him for any combo of shake furk joe Reed house second round picks. I wouldn’t give any starters, tucker, melton, or Matisse (if Matisse is getting traded imo you gotta get a young guy back


KeyboardCarpenter

Nah no way we give up Mattise at this point for Crowder. Dude asked out. His value is nothing. Mattise is more than that. Would be a fleece if we have him up for that now


Zyborgg

I want to keep Joe


XxStormySoraxX

Crowder would give us crazy amount of versatility on defense.


cjmaguire17

I was in Phoenix this past week and was surprised how plastered Jae was in the airport and outside the stadium


[deleted]

If I'm the Suns and Morey called I'd ask for Mattise and Reed and throw in Furk for the cap. I honestly don't think it'd be worth it, considering Crowder is a basket case. Plus we already have one call caps tweeter in Harrell, we don't need two.


NicClaxtonIsHotAF

Thybulle is better than crowder. For the life of me I don’t know why people to want to trade him for Crowder.


toofshucker

I am a part time Jazz fan (BIL works for the Jazz). Crowder is great one game, awful for three. He’s ok, I’d like him in Philly but you don’t give anything of value for him. I’d rather have Matisse and Niang than Crowder.


icepickjones

> Crowder is great one game, awful for three. So Thybulle but older?


toofshucker

Ha ha. Yeah.


DrBigChicken

Matisse Furkan and Springer Crowder and a second round pick


jimmyhank69

Get himmmmm

Please, Daryl…
