As much as fans may not want to hear this it is the only real move they can make.

I mentioned the same thing last week. If that is what the 76ers do and Grimes leaves at the end of the year that would leave the 76ers with 2 guards. That would mean Kelly Oubre would have to rotate between Sf and PG. However Oubre is normally not a good shooter,so how would he be a backup 2 guard. We have no draft picks in 2026.

You may not even get a good player back in return let alone weaken your backcourt this year and even more next year.

Here is what has to to happen. The 76ers need to pick up 2
players in the trade with one player being a guard and the other a PF or center.

I agree the draft is loaded. Yaxel might slip to as low as 15-17 if he keeps shooting low volume. He took 6 shots last night.

He was so dominant with UAB. He looked like a man among boys. now he’s playing this unselfish basketball like Bobby Jones and trying to get everybody involved. I wanted him to score more because he is  such a solid  player that people need to see.I don’t want him to go into Ben Simmons mode.

He will be on national TV Saturday against Maryland so I want t see him score  in the 20s.

I don't think anyone can erase ur post except Cowboys maybe.  Anyway, this post started about a single dunk, not how good or bad Sallis is.

I was not impressed. You saw dunks by Ricky Council. I am sure that impressed you.

I am hoping Michigan slams Villanova tonight. I saw North Carolina beat a solid Georgetown team yesterday and Gonzaga looked like a machine beating Northern Florida by over 40 points last night.

Who’s in? Who’s out? No matter what happens 18,000+ fools will show up for the game tonight.

I think he played Lowry last night cuz when Maxey went out the other night vs GSW...the PG position fell apart.  Grimes, VJ, and McCain just kept TOs and couldn't initiate anything cuz they aren't true PGs.  I think NN learned a lesson and played Lowry a few mins w George to alleviate that problem.  He didn't hurt the team, so i'm good.

Vaild points,GM

I am expecting New Orleans to make a big trade by Feb 5th. They want multiple first round picks for Jones or Murphy. I am not giving a lot for Herb Jones,so I am out on Herb Jones. I love Murphy. He has size and can go on fire- mode very easily. The price of 2 first round picks and probably McCain would be too high for me. I do love Trey Murphy. At 6Ft 8" that is good size for a SF. Right now Murphy is averaging 20 points per game.

We saw last night if a team has size and those players take advantage of their size it creates big problems for the opposition. Gonzaga has 1 6ft 9' forward and a 6ft 10' forward  that play power basketball and Kentucky could not stop it last night night as Gonzaga beat Kentucky 94-59. Ike had 28 pts and 10 rebounds. He will kill you on the inside at 250 pounds. Brandon Huff was posting up all night scoring 20 points. Foster at 6ft 7' is normally a good scorer, but he did not have to score last night with 4 points, but he has talent.He averages 11 points and 6 rebounds from the guard position.

Not at all. Connecticut is very good. Two teams with no great records at this time because of very competitive  tournaments are Florida 4-3 and Syracuse 5-3.. Those tournaments with so many solid teams do not indicate how good the losing teams really are. Iowa State is very tough. I love Michigan State,BYU which has AJ Dybanza and Florida has Boogi Fland who transferred from Arkansas. St Johns is very good.Iowa who I think is highly overrated faced a very strong Mich St team 3 days ago. I watched the game and Iowa got pearl-harbored by Mich St.North Carolina is very tough because they have Wilson and Veesaar who are 6ft 10' and 7ft tall. Both are  tough players to stop. They beat Kansas. Duke is very strong because they are anchored by 6ft 9" Cameron Boozer. His brother also plays for Duke.

Louisville roster has Mikel Brown who will be an excellent pro guard in the near future. His game is under control. Good passer and an excellent shooter from anywhere. Darryn Peterson for Kansas has missed the last few games with an injury, but this guy can play either guard position. At 6ft 5" he will have a solid career in the NBA.

It's a strong 2026 draft and the 76ers will go to the draft without any clothes on.
