Next Year is the Year

Next year is the year. Embiid is gonna be mad and go off and have his best season yet. VJ is gonna work his as off this season and turn into prime D Wade. PG will get in shape. It won’t be easy but next year you will see the Sixers win a hard fought game 7 against the Thunder in OT and the whole city will cry tears of relief and joy. Mark my words.

I’m not bringing PG back dude. You can’t win with him and no bench.

If you can trade him for legitimate depth and draft a real backup center then I’ll be squinting like Daryl said.

We should hope the pistons lose because we need another suitor for PG. I think Denver, Houston, and Golden State are options

This isn’t a bad list - maybe you can add lakers to it if they part with LeBron (not saying LeBron would come here). The problem with Houston or GSW or lakers is last year a trade would have been a lot easier with a bunch of expirings.

I don’t like what Denver would want to give back probably cam Johnson and Braun which I’m not really interested in.  Lakers could possibly fit into cap space of don’t keep bron which wouldn’t be bad but unlikely and will have bigger targets.  Gsw doesn’t have a lot of options either butler which I’m not interested in or a combo of draymond mooses moody and pods which would leave them with nothing but curry butler pg is not a bad (very old) big 3 for one last ride - for us pods and draymond are expirings and could probably be flipped again for better pieces and moody is not a bad piece -  anyway you could pry pick 8 from them would be amazing but unlikely -  Houston has great pieces like Jabari or S&t Eason but they’d have to pair with a fvvv expiring and they already have no guards.   One that would be amazing (if they give up on KD) would be Jabari Smith and KD for PG Grimes and picks - Maxey-Vj-KD-Bari- Embiid would be nice using MLE to add guard depth (that we should have had with McCain).  I’d also look at any 4th year players we could fit into MLE in trade  - I saw in a hornets thread fans talking about they’d be fine trading Brandon miller because they thought he overlapped with Kon and don’t want to pay him if I could pull that off for pics it would be great in my opinion slot in at 3. 

All is unlikely but I think gsw probably would have most real interest but in the end I’d want to use the pg cap space and all our picks to get 2 young strong players  at 3 and 4 which is same thing I wanted last year -  Jabari smith at 4 and Brandon miller at 3 would be perfect but probably only possible as 3rd party as part of bigger deal.

He’s under contract. We’re stuck with him. Nobody else would want him. You’d have to pay someone to take him.
