Rumor has it the Sixers are talking to the Cavs about a Korver for Bayless swap
at this point managements job is to get players to make the team better and to help out the stars they already have. also the trying to poach the guy from houston to be the gm and getting turned down isn't a good look. this is just my opinion and you may not agree but i'm not impressed with the moves made so farI fail to see how agreeing to a 1 yr deal with a career bench player and then having that player renege on said deal to look for more term/money is management's fault.
Bjelica would have been a solid pickup but he's had minimal pt in his career so the Sixers didnt want to give him term especially considering theyll still be in the market for stars next year and will have to give Simmons a max.
Sixers were a top 5 team in the league this year. If Brown had used Pick and Roll during the playoffs we wouldve made the Finals.at this point managements job is to get players to make the team better and to help out the stars they already have. also the trying to poach the guy from houston to be the gm and getting turned down isn't a good look. this is just my opinion and you may not agree but i'm not impressed with the moves made so far
There is nothing wrong with not being impressed by this offseason’s moves. That is NOT the same as saying there was a “misstep”. There was always going to come a time when The Process was going to get trickier, and that time has come. No more top 3 draft picks (barring a miracle next year), no more easily exceeded low expectations.
It’s been an unimpressive offseason for the Sixers, what’s wrong with saying that? Maybe there was no real good move they could have made. In all likelihood the best chance for the Sixers to make a significant gain this offseason was to fix Markelle Fultz. Hopefully that is happening. The second best thing would be for Simmons to get a jump shot.
Boston hasn’t made any particularly impressive moves either this offseason. That’s the way it goes sometimes.
Atlanta didn't think Schroeder was a winning player, that he'd request the max when his contract was up soon, and they didn't want to pay. I'm surprised they didn't get more futures along the way though, they did receive a lottery protected (what's the protection) 1st rd pick though. This is Atlanta, with no subtly, embracing the tank, and saving a few bucks.Why did the hawks give up Schroeder if they were going to waive Melo? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Well, BB first made those type of comments when he wasn't the GM, so he was putting the pressure on Colonjello. Kind of a, "You wanna f*** with me? Well how do you like them apples?" Then Colonjello got fired, Brett to center stage, and like a boss (a very green boss), he didn't punk out on his previous comments. However, Brett did modify them, via the star hunting, star creating caveat.I was never on the "hunting stars" bandwagon either, at least not this year. So in that sense I like what they didn't do this offseason, although I suspect they would have done something if they could have. I think the thing that did the most damage was BB saying on several occasions that they needed to do that. That just set him up for failure. Even if that's your plan there's no need to announce it to the world and give people grounds to complain when you don't get players that you probably weren't all that likely to get anyway. I love BB the coach but they really do need to find a GM.
Ah okay thanks. Like you said I thought they’d get more futures. Trading for lottery protected picks is something I’d never do.Atlanta didn't think Schroeder was a winning player, that he'd request the max when his contract was up soon, and they didn't want to pay.

Holmes off to Phoenix for cash
Signed Bolden to a 4 year deal
There are cap issues at play here on Bolden too. They're front-loading him. It's likely a 2 year deal with 2 unguaranteed.
Collectively are the Sixers one of the worst shooting teams in the NBA?
I mean who's a good "shooter"? JJ?
Embiid's good for a Center.
Dario shot close to 40% from 3 last year, which is good. Hopefully Fultz this year?
