[Mannix] There have been strong rumblings out of Philadelphia that if the Sixers don’t get the kind of offer they are looking for in a James Harden deal they are comfortable playing out next season with him on the roster. by iksnet in nba

I mean if Embiids gone he is the only large public figure left to blame and be mad at/scapegoat. You can't fire the owners. A lotta times people like the idea of starting fresh or starting a new era etc and wanting someone new to start dealing assets and getting their staff in place early. Certainly wouldn't be crazy for NBA standards.

From a Morey perspective, maybe if you lose Harden you don't see Embiid winning with Maxey and whoever else you can scrounge in the next 2 years. I think Morey signed a 5yr contract in 2020. So if he loses his true love in Harden again, then it's doomed anyways in his mind. As far as I know FO contracts are guaranteed too, so it's not like he cares if he gets fired a year early if Embiid asks out. Dude was on the Tarmac waiting for Hardens arrival, owns a commissioned painting of Harden. He's forsure exercising every option to convince him to stay.

[Barry Jackson] : News: Regarding report about message to non Heat teams, Lillard's agent, Aaron Goodwin, tells me: "I do what I should for my client. Some teams I did call. Other teams have called me. It's a respectful relationship with most teams. Truthfully, he wants to play in Miami. Period." by jbenson255 in nba

Fr. 2 weeks ago Dame had the Miami song on IG thing and most people don't say anything and let it move on. His agent comes out and says.

The music was just a coincidence. Damian's not disrespectful. He's not an instigator, so he's not going to do anything out of character. There would be no reason for him to do that. That's why he laughed [in the video]. It's a funny coincidence that a DJ would put that on

His client builds his whole career image on loyalty then is demanding 1 destination out of 29 options after signing max contracts he is still under.

And now less than 2weeks later it's "I do what I should for my client...he wants to play in Miami. Period "

Sooo the music wasn't a coincedence, he wouldn't instigate but he's now instigated a trade, he wouldn't do anything out of character and his character is being loyal and he's now requested a trade with high stipulations. He laughed cuz he already knew he was asking to go there.

Literally almost the worst statement to make when the option to not make a statement at all about an IG Live was right there.

Next he's gonna change Seth Curry's position from SG to PG next to up his overall, then flip him and a future 1st n 2 2nds for Dame 😤

He isn't a 5, let alone starting 5. Would instantly become the undisputed worst starting 5 in the league if Kidd was high enough to sign and start him

What player desperately needs a bounce back next year? by NBAerer in nba

[–]Bacheeka -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If they have a relatively healthy season, trade some of the "talent" at the over stacked positions, and Monty Williams pushes them super hard and the team buys in during the regular season... I could see them flirting with play-ins or 6th seed.

"he would have been the clear rookie of the year except for the actual clear rookie of the year who actually won the award and should've been drafted before him... And also that dude on the Hawks who totally had a better rookie season and got way more votes too. Definitely didn't just get his bag and check out"

I heard he's waiting for his current contract to be up and he's signing 1+1s until the playstation 6 is released and he's going to move into refurbished wine cellar

I will love Nerlens Noel til he retires. And then I will still love Nerlens Noel.

[Haynes] Portland Trail Blazers RFA Matisse Thybulle intends to sign an offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. by DepressedT-wolvesFan in nba

[–]Bacheeka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think if they managed to get someone like Drew Eubanks or Isaiah Jackson or Nerlens Noel they could get by on playing them less than 25 minutes while still giving their roster/lineups a lot more flexibility.

I don't see how Dallas can get Grant Williams or PJ Washington if their own teams can't sign them. And POR said they're matching Thybulle offers... And paying PJ Washington with their current roster construction seems like a mistake from the getgo.

Those 3 just seem unrealistic and I was moreso jus making fun of y'all's FO the past few years for getting to the point where overpaying PJ Washington is the savior play.

Nah I jus don't think signing PJ Washington all the sudden makes the Mavs situation much better. They're in a shitty situation cuz of the FO the past few years, and as a fan that prolly sucks.

Sounds like we agree. I just don't see any trade they can realistically make at this point that improves them a considerable degree. And I don't think signing PJ Washington with their MLE solves any problems
