I have said this for years and most say no way...

There is always a sucker in the league... Call the Lakers and send him west... Maybe we can get Ayton, Rui, and Austin Reeves and a 1st...

I don’t see the Lakers making that deal. But, I do think any team that has a win now roster started ( minus a center ) would absolutely pull the trigger and we would get more back then what AD got.

I still think the 3 teams that make sense are the Hornets, Hawks, and maybe even the Spurs. Spurs would have a chance to put together a monster team for the next 3 years and have picks and players to make it happen.

The Hornets ( to me anyway) make the most sense. Add Embiid to a roster with Ball, Miller and Knueppel is just scary. A true center is all they are missing.

While it's possible they are better off, what are the chances they find a better player? What's the hit rate for a successful pick in that range historically? If say there's less then a 50 percent chance they are better off with that pick and that pick panning out and that's not even factoring in they are clearly hurt this season by trading McCain.

I agree with the hit rate. But, like I said before. Everyone is saying this a loaded class. Picking at 25 this year is like picking at pick 10-15 in any other year. And again, you never know.

Would you rather have any of them or a 20 year old McCain?

I would rather have the 25th pick in this years draft. We can go in any direction. On top all the talented bigs, there are just as many guards in that range as well. We are gonna be better off..

edgcomb is not a small guard. you have no idea whether there will be a talented forward available at 25 in the draft. why trade a talented guard that would have
made a perfect 6th man who is cost controlled for a pie in  the sky draft pick? maxey fell into his lap, vj was a good pick but who else was he going to take there?
your nonsensical bs about rubin forcing morey to get all those houston players has no basis in fact. morey's trade deadlines have been awful

I don’t know Doc, I read an article that interviewed 20 nba executives and they had a 1st round grade on 44 prospects this year. The draft is truly loaded and there is a lot of PF’s and SF’s at are pick at 25. I think it was a good trade.

I true believe it will happen this summer. And I think it could turn around very quickly and be competitive with in 2-3 years. They have to see it as well. It’s not rocket science. I would move Embiid this summer and probably trade PG at the trade deadline next year. I think that is our best path.

I see 3 teams that make a ton of sense to go all in and win a championship over the next 3 years. The Hornets, Hawks, and Spurs. All 3 have the cap space and contracts that they can move.

The Hornets have the most to offer. I think anyway. They have 8 1st round picks over the next 4 years. That’s crazy. And can build around Miller, Ball, and Knueppel .

Spurs could put together a team that might be the best ever. Wemby and Embiid would just e sick. And they have the draft capital and contracts as well to make it happen.

Hawks are little light on draft capital, but might give a young player or 2 and go all in.

Bottom line, I too believe this summer could be a huge turning point for the Sixers.

Embiid and PG can both fetch us draft capital if we trade them this offseason.

Neither of these guys have had a major injury in years.  You guys make it seem as if they're crippled.

I actually agree with this Krukster. If AD got 2 1st round picks, I see Embiid getting at least 3 1st. Embiid is top 5 in the league at his position. We might have to take a different path with PG. I think we would get more at the trade deadline next year  than this offseason. Both players will be back this year and help make a playoff run. If it goes well, that would be great. If we get knocked out early, then it might be time to move on from Embiid. And yes, teams will be calling and offer way more than most on here think.

well, we got 5 points in 32 minutes out of our 2 backup guards. i can't wait to see what we get with the 24 or 25 pick. i'm sure it will be much better than mccain.... who in his last 5 games
is shooting over 40% from 3. but hey, we got cam payne who in 6 games is averaging under 3 ppg and under 25% 3 point shooting. keep defending morey

I don’t know Doc. Now that we have a 1st round pick I’ve been following the college game a lot more. This class is load with talent and I think we hit on a really good player. Even if we are at pick 25. I actually hope we try and trade future picks to get more picks in this draft. 1st or 2nd round. Loads of talent…

Give me Miller, Kalkebrenner, and picks

That would be nice. I don’t think they would give up Miller.

I was think Bridges, Williams, Kalkebrenner, there 2026 1st, 2 2027 1st ( Dal and Miami ), a 2029 1st ( Utah, Mins, or Cle) and a 2026 2nd round pick.

They get Embiid and 2 future 2nd round picks.

What’s crazy is that the Hornets would still have a 1st round pick in every year. That’s what makes the most sense. You’re not gonna hit on all those picks. So, add a player that can push you over the top..

I believe the best case for the Sixers is they make the playoffs and Joel shows he can play. If he can do that, I believe there is a few teams that might go all in. It hard to find a dominant center anymore. There isn’t any in the draft and when you have a window to make a push, you do it.

If they do decide to trade Embiid, I would like him to be in the West. But, I see the Hawks and Hornets potentially being his landing spots. And I see the Hornets being the top team going after him. They have contracts they could get rid of and loads of draft picks. It would be the perfect time for them to go all in and put the Hornets back on the map.

what possesses a gm to trade one of the most popular players on the team, whose game was just starting to return to form for some more than
likely worthless draft picks should be one in another long line of fireable offenses. cam payne? really? that's the answer. a guy who could
only get work in serbia.

You might want to go look at the draft class coming out. Even if the pick is late 20’s, we will be getting a player that could see a ton of mins next year. So many SF’s and PF’s in this draft. I actually wish we had a 2nd round pick as well. Hope we move some future 2nd’s for a 2nd this year. Really nice class coming.

I just don't see why Morey had to give Joel the extension in advance. Embiid has been injured so often for so many years. What % of games has he played? I'm just grateful at this point that DM didn't move Maxey or VJ for Embiid's last hurrah. I don't think rebuilding while trying to contend is a dream scenario, but it's better than the alternative.

I agree. Would have been better to wait a year or 2. I do think they are smart enough to realize that Maxey and VJ are the future. I actually think that this year might be  Embiid’s last hurrah. If we don’t make it to the championship series this year, I think they might try and move him in the offseason while his stock is high ( as long as he doesn’t get hurt again). He isn’t getting any younger and I see a few teams out there that might go all in for the last 3 years of his contract.

Come on Kruk. Over $400 million spent on 2 old and oft injured guys.  $200 mil to Prescription Paul for 4 YEARS. Let me repeat 4 years and a 3-year $200 mil extension for Joel. These are the moves that will define DM's tenure. Why did he do it?  It completely overshadows his drafting, signings of fringe players and bookkeeping skills.

I agree with PG. I as a bad signing and I would have preferred 2/3 players at a total of 50 million a year. Not 1 player.

But, as for Embiid, even at 75%, he is the 2nd best center in all of basketball and it’s not even close. Right now, we just have to see how the year pans out.

Not sure comparing Flagg to Pippen is fair. Where's Flagg's MJ?
You think Dallas would be a playoff team with Pippen instead of Flagg? He was a great Robin, but he was never a Batman.

And you can’t compare VJ to Kon either. Totally different teams. VJ’s not even the joker😂. He is option 4 when the full team plays. Maybe 3 and 1/2. We can split PG and VJ.

What's fun about losing by 49? 37 to the Hornets... 26 to the Cavs... 25 to the Thunder... 41 to Orlando...

When we stink, we smell of stench... Rotten...

I will repeat... We need to fire MOREY, BRAND, and KNICK KNURSE... WE NEED TO STOP BUILDING AROUND JOEL EMBIID... Kruk you have become just as delusional as mra and jt... There is no feel good about any of this...

When 2 of your starters and your 6th man doesn’t play, what do you think will happen?

I would trade Embiid, if I’m get a stud young player and 5 1st round picks. Easily worth that. Worth way more then Giannis and it’s not even close…

We're 5 million under the luxury tax threshold.

Enough money to convert Barlow and sign a buyout and stay under the luxury tax line.

My guess is that whoever we sign will be more valuable short term than McCain, who is frankly unusable against teams like the Knicks and Celtics.

I hope you’re right. I just don’t want to waste another year of Embiid.
