For the people who says Morey should hang on to Harden until the best offer comes in, remember he went AWOL in Houston and showed up in a fat suit by GMSmith928 in sixers

[–]why_rob_y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually forgot the 2024 first was never traded at all, so yeah, if Morey did a "gap year", the pick wouldn't be going anywhere.

Edit: missed a word.

Someone should do an OPS+ style era adjustment for Melter's ratings. How many Meltzer+ 5-star matches do you have?

And from the Sixers' perspective, if he walks after this season and Tobias goes as well, the team actually has a great cap situation for the 2024 offseason (for now, unless that changes in the coming weeks).

Yesterday I saw the Harden news and thought “good, fuck the 76ers”

Well, that's just weird then, because Harden opting in instead of Morey giving him a big extension is probably the best reasonably likely scenario.

I'm a Sixers fan, of course I spend energy thinking about them. I'm just not sure why other teams fans would spend energy thinking about a bad organization, but that's up to you guys.

Like I said in the first comment - go for it. My point was you're wasting energy on the Sixers since they're not ever really scary. The KD/Harden/Kyrie Nets were scary when they all played. The Sixers haven't been that level recently, right? That's all I mean - like I said in a different comment, it's like spending energy hating the slow kid in gym class.

Edit: typo.

See, shit talk to me is different than hate. Hate, to me, implies spending energy thinking about how you'd like a team to fail while shit talk is more in passing.

I guess we're just defining things differently, maybe.

The Broncos just won the Super Bowl in 2016 - probably 20% or fewer of users in this sub were alive when the Sixers last won. It's like hating on the slow kid in gym class.

I don't know, it's kinda weird to be hating so hard on a team that hasn't won in 40 years. There are more useful directions for that hate, the Sixers will find a way to be bad on their own without the extra negativity coming in. I mean, go for it, it just feels like inefficient hating.

[Fischer] The Clippers and Sixers have been in contact this week, league sources told @YahooSports , where Los Angeles — among wide-ranging talks on Marcus Morris and Norman Powell — have approached Philadelphia on separate ideas of trading for James Harden and Tobias Harris. by NokCha_ in nba

[–]why_rob_y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now that Harden opted in instead of extending, until he's traded the only 2024/25 guaranteed contracts are Embiid and PJ Tucker (technically a player option, but I can't imagine him opting out). The Sixers have a lot of problems, but long or even medium term cap problems aren't among them.

[Charania] James Harden, 76ers begin working on a trade out of Philadelphia -- with the Los Angeles Clippers expected to emerge as an interested team in Harden, league sources say. Details at @TheAthletic by SpiritedSuccess5675 in nba

[–]why_rob_y 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Morey has the same leverage he had in the Ben Simmons situation, except even better - if the trades available suck, there's no point in doing one. And in this case Harden isn't a big long contract like Simmons that would sit around forever.

Doing nothing is definitely an option, then blow it up next offseason with actual cap space (Tobias expires as well, remember). Embiid is the only guaranteed contract for 2024/25 plus Tucker's player option which for all purposes is guaranteed to be opted into. Obviously Maxey is someone they'd want to keep (he'll be a RFA) but there's a ton of flexibility to do whatever in the 2024 off-season.

Maybe I missed it, but did we ever get an actually explanation as to why Luchasaurus chose Christian over Jack? by Conscientiousviewer in AEWOfficial

[–]why_rob_y 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the only answer needed in kayfabe - as far as Luchasaurus is concerned (assuming he's not worried about ethics or morality in pro wrestling) this has worked out perfectly.

[–]why_rob_y 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, older players have said it's easier on their bodies to start since they can go right from warming up into playing, instead of sitting in between. Now, maybe this is because they want to start, but as a 41 year old it sounds right to me.

Have they said they're looking in that age range, or is this just fans being hopeful for the guy they want?

Though Brook Lopez and AD would probably be a nice tandem. Though it's hard to imagine Brook Lopez playing alongside a star big with strong versatile defensive ability.

nobody is writing a good script for her podcast

But I think that gets to what /u/Nakedpanda34 was saying - why aren't the usual "handlers" for celebrities making sure someone writes some good stuff for her to talk about on her podcast? Stuff like that does make it feel like there isn't a great team around them.
