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

[Magua]

Not ecstatic to see Bev go, and he might actually be the better player today, but I'm going to guess that (like with Hield) it comes down to 3s. The spacing/volume is non-functional.

They're pretty obviously not taking any real swings, putting all their eggs into the offseason basket.

His shorts are just horrible.

 

[Striiker]

Well that's interesting.

Why’s his head so small?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Lowry and PatBev are both cooked. This is purely a vibes complaint.

And also preferring every other 2 in the league than one that sends him to Milwaukee.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I watched Harden last night.

 

[Henry Miller]

Basketball draft pick trades amuse me. It gives me the impression that every draft pick in the second round 5 years from now will have at least one, if not multiple “via”’s next to it

 

[Jack Straw]

Neubeck giving some interesting info on the podcast. He thinks that someone in the organization told PatBev that the Sixers would be picking up Lowry and Pat then asked for the trade.

 

[DancingPanther]

All this chair shuffling for Kyle f***ing Lowry. He's the big fish? Kyle f***ing Lowry?

Morey needs to have something to talk about on his podcasts I guess

There is no "big fish". There was never going to be. Just working around the edges. Hield is the "biggest" fish. Overall, I would say the Sixers will be better when the chairs are all in place. Assuming Lowry and especially Drummond or other suitable big.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I am going to yell now. This is the one.

[Magua]

Okay, what the f***. Other moves are don't give a shit territory. WHAT. WHY.

Even you?

 

[Chinatown88]

I don't get it

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Let’s go Flyers holy f***

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Even you?

If two players are cooked and unplayable, I want the lunatic because it's fun. ONLY if they're both equally awful.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

At least they got us to Phillies season.

The cycle of Philly sports is undefeated.

 

[Chinatown88]

IS THAT SHILL COLANGELO BACK? WHAT ARE YOU DOING DARYL?

 

[GKJ]

Sixers gonna have a lot of double agents around the league

 

[Flybynite]

Lol Springer to the Celtics for a 2nd?

WTF for? Just showed he can be a good defensive wing.

 

[BigToe]

Boston? BOSTON????

 

[Magua]

Springer isn't perfect, isn't playable in a playoff rotation right now, but oh my god, at his age and with his defense. The Celtics?! For a 2nd. It's not like that's a today move for the best team in the league. That's a long-term bet that we might have to suffer through. Stupid.

Let’s go Flyers holy f***

Now, that's a team with a real plan. Love what they're doing.

 

[Jack Straw]

I knew some people were going to riot if Springer was traded. Reality is, he has no offensive upside. If you didn't mind losing Thybulle there's no reason you should be bothered by losing Springer. He's not useful in the playoffs.

Edit: I would have thought the return for Springer would have been a little more though.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

So they're going to have ~70 MM in cap space. That's betting everything on a summer.

Morey pretty much made that clear last offseason.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Definitely gonna be the next Derrick White. Guessing this is for cap purposes going into the offseason.
