Other Sports: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 23-24 Season Thread: Better Than the Flyers?

[JojoTheWhale]

So they're done. They shipped House to get under the tax line.

 

[Jack Straw]

For who? For what?

Not a super satisfying answer in terms of the Sixers doing more on the day, but that's probably where we're landing.

Just saw that but still, they can't just trade a player and a pick for empty air, can they?

 

[Rebels57]

So no Center replacement?

They're probably getting a conditional 2nd, top 59-protected in 2078 or rights to some Euro the Pistons drafted in the '40s or w/e.

Detroit has a TPE.

*Edit* They didn't use it. It's a fake 2nd that will never convey in return.

Maybe on the buyout market.

I probably should have stopped to consider the RoCo for a big possibility still.

 

[Cody Webster]

Is Buddy still any good?

he was against the sixers

Limited and flawed player, but his strengths line up well with what they need. The concern is that he can't guard anyone. But they gave up nothing of note. They also get his Bird Rights, so they get to see him next to Maxey before making an informed decision on him in the summer.

 

[Jack Straw]

Well ok then



"Since you have to trade something back, Detroit is moving a 2028 second-rounder that’ll essentially never convey (top 31-55 protected)."

Gracias, sir.

Who isn't?

That might be better than Ghost being traded for nothing

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Alec Burks returned Quentin Grimes?!

*Edit* Every rumored Drummond suitor except one has now traded for a big.

[Flybynite]

Because of the new CBA, teams over the apron can not sign buyout players who were making $12.4m or more (the full midlevel exception)

Sixers would have enough room to sign more than 1 buyout guy.

Get ready for a Lowry/Hield/Maxey 3 Guard lineup if/when Hornets buY out Lowry

 

[Jack Straw]

lol



Clearly he wants to be Joel's backup.

 

[Chinatown88]

 

[Embiid]

Meh on Hield but fits an immediate need...

At least we salvaged something out of that 2016 1st round draft class...apart from the Simmons and Harden trades still playing out.

Simmons
TLC
Korkmaz

With the last two being selected over Siakem no less is why the process has in part not gone as planned...oh well

 

[DancingPanther]

Buddy Hield, noted Sixer killer, undoubtedly will suck on this team. Just another warm body expiring contract

 

[Chinatown88]

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The pick is TOP 2 protected. This is the worst deal of the day by a mile. Start the Doncic clock.

 

[FLYguy3911]

My boy Roddy got dealt. Is he fodder at this point?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
