Window has been closed for 39 years.  Answer obvious.

Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, and Anthony Davis would be a nice threesome.

Yep!  Harris, Maxey, and Matisse are sufficient.  This trade could very well go down.  Think the Celtics are having second thoughts on trading Brown.  He’s younger and an all star.  The fly in the ointment would be the Lakers making Anthony Davis available.  Trade off would be even.

Last year, before the Harden trade, Sixers had 10 players averaging more than 18 minutes per game. After the trade, they had 9. Didn't you just state that Korkmaz should be the 8th or 9th player on a good team? If Korkmaz can make 3 point shots at a 40% clip like he did a couple of years ago, Doc will find minutes for him. Whose minutes? Whoever is not playing well or is injured. Simple as that.

Korkmaz has the shot; however with us it appears he always gets the ball late which effects his shooting accuracy.  Getting it a split second earlier would improve his marksmanship.

Sixers have been without a championship for a long time - 39 years.  I’m with you.  Sixers only have two options and they have chosen the one with the short horizon.  With their recent signings, they have prioritized the NOW.  They’ve gone this far so they may as well go a little farther.

The process hasn’t taken us to the top.  Maybe this will.  Harris, Thybulle, and Maxey never will.  Like Buzz Light Year says, “to infinity and beyond”.

Celtics seem to be backing off.  Philly’s offer could be the best they can get.

Our stars could be aligning.  Obtaining Durant would be the biggest team gain since Julius Irving.  Including Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle and picks would be givens.  Tyrese Maxey may also have to be part of the package.  Adding Durant to Embiid and Harden betters our odds at winning it all next June.  The fact that this trade has elevated as high as it has has made it plausible.

Our window is done, if we can get Durant, Harden and Embiid for even one season, we do it no matter the cost.

With Durant demanding out, his price tag has been reduced.  Maxey is off-the-table.  Harris and Matisse and Korkmaz would be the package I would present.

Eagles need to focus on drafting the best QB available in next years draft.  With two high first round picks and one nice second round pick they will be positioned for one.

I wouldn’t lower my asking price if I’m BKY.  KD has 4yrs remaining on his contract.  If he chooses to sit out for 4yrs his career is over.  It’s not like BKY, even w/o KD, isn’t a competitive team.  Aussie, Kyrie, Warren, Harris, Curry, Thomas, O’Neal, Claxton, Mills are still very good players.  They also have a closer in Kyrie.  If Warren returns to some resemblance of his precious self, and Aussie steps up, they will still be a playoff team

Being a playoff team is not enough.  Nets should just throw in the towel on Durant and begin anew with whatever they can get at this point.

I agree that, if true, Boston has the best offer. Both of Toronto's are also good - Siakam would be a great fit but I think adding Ingram gives them the best chance to come out of the East.

Offers need too be lowered now that Durant has issued his ultimatum.  Nets are cornered.  They need to make this trade regardless and everyone knows it.

Sixers can offer Tobias Harris who seems to carry esteem on this board. He’s fm  NY (Long Island) so it might work.

No question.  But he will still have young legs not like those who need a lot of physical therapy just to get up in the morning.  Will say I like his demeanor.  Doesn’t seem to be in love with himself like a lot of these guys.
