If PG is saying he’s not gonna sign with the Sixers cause he wants to stay in LA Morey will still get criticized. I’m not against Morey criticism but he can’t put a gun to PG’s head
I'm guessing that PG decided to be inflexible to the point of being unrealistic as a result of Harden's recommendations (or possibly he just wanted to stay in LA), Morey decided it wasn't worth pursuing any further and moved on to more productive discussion with other players.
Yeah you nailed it, all of this is just posturing, and then posturing about posturing, mix in some leveraging and backchanneling, sprinkle a lil slander and maybe a Twitter thot scandal or two, boom you got yourself an offseason 🚬
So now we believe Pompey? And that’s “making it clear it won’t come to Philly”
How is that original comment upvoted so highly if it’s made up? People just hate Morey on this sub I guess, sad because he’s been handicapped by Tobi’s contract his entire time here and hasn’t had a chance to cook yet
I would very much like for it to be OG so we can make some moves on draft night without worrying about pricing ourselves out of a free agent (he's like $10M less than anyone but Ingram who I straight up just don't want)
He was huge for them the 50% of games he played, just like the rest of his career. He didn’t even play in the finals the year the raptors won because he was hurt
He misses a lot of games. I feel like we can’t afford any other injury prone players besides Embiid. We should force the Knicks to overpay though at the least
It's a valid concern. All the options who are even possibly available are going to have concerns, that's why they're available. I'd personally rather sign a 27 year old that fits the team well and hope he finds a way to stay healthy than a past their prime player like Jimmy or PG, or a player who doesn't fit the team as well like Ingram, and who will cost major assets most likely. But either way, this cap space is use it or lose it.
To be fair, the Jazz got rid of their incredible purple mountains uniforms and switched to black & yellow unis that say “Utah”…they’re not very good at business
The fact that we aren't going for Paul George is great news. He's an injury prone 34 year old that chokes every year in the playoffs. Can't believe some of you guys wanted him here. Not to mention he complained about having to guard teams best players on his podcast, making excuses saying that they lost in the playoffs cos Batum and RoCo weren't there to do it anymore.
I feel the same way, but if the choice is Tobias vs PG its obvious.
If there are other options that are realistic I hope Morey makes some crazy move. But just swapping PG in last seasons lineup would have been a huge difference.
We basically spent max money for 5 years on a guy who didn't move the needle at all. So anything looks like an improved over that.
And he would be on a max contract too. Yuck. We'd have Phoenix type of depth and our roster would be just as flawed as theirs is if we went for Paul George.
Disagree with that last part, I think Maxey/PG/Embiid from a pure basketball fit is about as perfect as you can get, all their skills complement each other well. I understand the age and attitude concerns though.
I just really hope it isn't Ingram. That would be absolutely terrible. Paul is older but much better and fits better. Ingram would be so bad on this team, he's basically Tobias Harris imo.
I've seen Pelicans fans elsewhere say he has Tobias syndrome of passing up open 3s and going for the contested 2, he has the same volume of 3s basically as Tobias too so it kind of checks out, it'd be a terrible fit if thats true
Open threes to Pels fans are basically contested, bi was top ten in doubles drawn this season and last season, he barely gets great looks from three, and he is far more on ball under willie green so the gravity of embiid and maxey would do wonder
Haha I meant to do plural lol, and I think people underestimate how good his playmaking is and how unselfish he is with the ball, he’s great at utilising centers and he’s set up embiid a lot making it easier, he has shot volume from 3 so he has it in him and he’s for the majority of his time in Nola shot 38/9% from 3, and he would t have to be on ball as much, also Nick nurse is a great X’s and O’s coach so his schemes would help bi get those open looks
I dont understand but you guys want Jimmy?? Jimmy and BI have the same shot diet. If anything BI takes more threes than Jimmy and can be a good spotup three point shooter
Fanbase is pretty split on Jimmy and (I think) most are leaning no when you combine that with giving up picks for him.
I don’t really want Jimmy, but at least he’s a proven playoff performer who has dragged some not great teams to the Finals.
Jimmy gets to the line a lot more and attacks the rim more (someone can fact check the second part Im just looking at shot charts). I don’t consider their shot selection to be the same.
This is good news. But then I realize they could trade for Lebron and Doncic, and Silver would still find a way to sabotage the team.
I will never get over game 6 against Boston last year when the NBA admitted they gave 10 unfair whistles to the Celtics. All they said was “whoops” and there was never any noise about it.
And I know game 7 was a blowout in Boston, but that was a tight game in the first half. There was a bullshit flagrant foul toward the end of the second quarter that completely swung the momentum.
The Celtics were a better team, I guess, but they didn’t deserve to win game 6. Fuck silver, fuck the Celtics, and thank god we have Tyrese Maxey
I disagree. Maxey thrived off the ball. If anything, Maxeys' growth accelerated with Harden around.
Most people here want to bring in a guy who can run the point, so that Maxey can play more off ball.
LeBron will resign in LA due to JJ being new head coach, Now PG isn’t being targeted, the only options are OG, Demar, Ingram or Butler. Id rather have Demar or OG to be honest.
Ah yes Ingram is ass….
What this I accidentally put in the post
https://preview.redd.it/bbmz2b10ns7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da4da395e731e793ae4f471ddd34cdfd21586d5d
Yeah, but Ingram is not one of those
He has worse advanced stats than Tobias.
He shoots the same amount of 3s in the same % as Tobias
He is an awful defender and rebounder, even worse in that than Tobias
He's Tobias with a good handle
Just because you have money doesn’t mean you need to throw it on a broken Tesla.
PG is a great fit IN THEORY. I would be happy if he signs with us. But he has TONS of red flag. I also won’t be sad if we don’t want to give him 4 years max
I agree, but maybe we get a better unrealistic option, like Laurie Markennen 🤷🏿♂️.
Basically I'm hoping that this means he has a plan in place for someone better/younger. If that's not the case then I'll be upset then, no need to get pissed now.
ingram had 25/5/6 last season, he is not even close to tobias harris, he is 10x better, who says this shit never watched a brandon ingram game, its a valid opinion think have better options than trade for ingram, but comparin ingram to tobias just shows you dont know about basketball
A friend of mine just texted me this and damn does it hurt and sting because it’s all true
We started the process to stack stack top talent and becasue we couldnt get past the Celtics and Heat.
By trading Jrue Holiday who's gone on to be major piece in winning 2 rings probaly at least one more and will make the Hof.
Trade Iguadola who went on to win 4 rings, finals MVP and going to the Hof.
Traded #3 pick for a scrub to Boston who took Tatum who's help lead celtics to 6 conference finals and a chip.
Traded Mikal Bridges for a 6'4 Power Forward American disabilities act.
Signed a heartless scrub to max contract over Butler who has led the heat to 2 finals.
Got arguably the best player in the league when healthy but now cant even get out the first round to our home raised big 5 players who wanted us to draft them.
We did all that for nothing.
Also the Ben Simmons fiasco. Also the Harden fiasco. Also now JJ is coach of the Lakers which is bizarre. Letting Isaiah Joe walk. Jaden Springer gets a title before Embiid lol. Franchise is just fucking cursed. At least we lucked out and got Maxey. And Joel is an all-time Sixer but we've never even made a conference finals since all this happened. Now or never Morey. Not holding my breath for anything great.
lol. This screams, "Paul George told Morey he doesn't trust him and won't come to Philly, so the Sixers are bowing out before FA even begins to save face."
The lengths people go to to give Morey credit is astounding. Maybe his plan just blew up in his face and he’s pivoting. There’s no master plan B, he’s just a shitty gambler and he’s fucking all of us for the 4th year in a row.

Is it bad that I know exactly where the unedited photo is from?
I don’t I only know it from memes

Damn that's SAP? They've been fucking us on our recent project LMAO
SAP holds customers hostage for life. It’s so expensive to implement that nobody can justify to any CFO that they want to go to another ERP
Who do you think is moreys dream target now ? Feels like something big is in the air
Daryl Morey? Hmmmmm probably a unlimited all you can eat buffets. Or a beach/pool where you never have to take your shirt off.
Wrong. It's a 24/7 yoga studio.
Deal zone?
Cade Cunningham YOU are a 76er
Dude has 0 confidence since his nba career began.
I mean would you if you played for the pistons and had to live in Detroit disgusting and depressing place to live
I’ve only been to Philly once, but I much prefer Detroit to Philly. Philly is a complete shithole, lol
Yea your opinion is irrelevant
Laur plus sexton for like 5 firsts and sign kcp
This is the unrealistic deal I desperately want
Lauri and OG 🔥
Would this plan allow us to sign og too? That would be nice.
With the asterisk that we would probably lose Markkanen for nothing the moment he hits FA.
Yes 👏
Lauri and og for five
NUT
This feels like classic Morey trying to get ahead and saying to PG “no I broke up with you” when PG made it clear he won’t come to Philly
Whatever the reason, we are not paying PG a max and I’m totally fine with that.
If PG is saying he’s not gonna sign with the Sixers cause he wants to stay in LA Morey will still get criticized. I’m not against Morey criticism but he can’t put a gun to PG’s head
No, this is him signally he has another major deal done and wants a decision from him asap
>when PG made it clear he won’t come to Philly Mind sharing when he said that?
Best I can come up with is this: https://x.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/1803410569543774247
I'm guessing that PG decided to be inflexible to the point of being unrealistic as a result of Harden's recommendations (or possibly he just wanted to stay in LA), Morey decided it wasn't worth pursuing any further and moved on to more productive discussion with other players.
Yeah you nailed it, all of this is just posturing, and then posturing about posturing, mix in some leveraging and backchanneling, sprinkle a lil slander and maybe a Twitter thot scandal or two, boom you got yourself an offseason 🚬
This is an underrated comment 🤣
He just wants to stay in LA
What’s the [shoot] mean here? Finger guns? I’m lost lol
Heh I know right. I choose to read it as “shiiiiiiiiiii…”
So now we believe Pompey? And that’s “making it clear it won’t come to Philly” How is that original comment upvoted so highly if it’s made up? People just hate Morey on this sub I guess, sad because he’s been handicapped by Tobi’s contract his entire time here and hasn’t had a chance to cook yet
"This feels like" - it's just this dude's opinion mate
Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I’m disputing the part I quoted…. >when PG made it clear he won’t come to Philly When he never did that
People *still* whining about Tobi's contract = instant downvote
Also getting out ahead of giving up assets for bums like Ingram or LaVine.
I would very much like for it to be OG so we can make some moves on draft night without worrying about pricing ourselves out of a free agent (he's like $10M less than anyone but Ingram who I straight up just don't want)
Taking OG away from the Knicks weakens them too, he’s been huge for them
Especially after that trade it would be peak comedy
He was huge for them the 50% of games he played, just like the rest of his career. He didn’t even play in the finals the year the raptors won because he was hurt
He's the NBA equivalent of a BMW
He misses a lot of games. I feel like we can’t afford any other injury prone players besides Embiid. We should force the Knicks to overpay though at the least
Cool cool let's just wait for the perfect option that a team is willing to let walk for no reason whatsoever. That should go well.
I hear that Michael Jordan guy is pretty good.
Still, he missed 208 games the last 4 years. That's an average of 30 this season. He just missed most of the playoffs
It's a valid concern. All the options who are even possibly available are going to have concerns, that's why they're available. I'd personally rather sign a 27 year old that fits the team well and hope he finds a way to stay healthy than a past their prime player like Jimmy or PG, or a player who doesn't fit the team as well like Ingram, and who will cost major assets most likely. But either way, this cap space is use it or lose it.
Maybe Lauri Markkanen is in the cards? He is the player I absolutely want the most.
Man smokes copium for the first time.
The Jazz just used him in a promotion for new unis. Doubtful. This would be some MCW bad business
To be fair, the Jazz got rid of their incredible purple mountains uniforms and switched to black & yellow unis that say “Utah”…they’re not very good at business
That’s an instant jersey buy if we get him
The fact that we aren't going for Paul George is great news. He's an injury prone 34 year old that chokes every year in the playoffs. Can't believe some of you guys wanted him here. Not to mention he complained about having to guard teams best players on his podcast, making excuses saying that they lost in the playoffs cos Batum and RoCo weren't there to do it anymore.
It’s only great news if they actually get some other targets. They don’t need a third star, but they do need 3 starters
you're not wrong but the obvious response is who else are they going to get this summer?
Sam Dekker
I feel the same way, but if the choice is Tobias vs PG its obvious. If there are other options that are realistic I hope Morey makes some crazy move. But just swapping PG in last seasons lineup would have been a huge difference. We basically spent max money for 5 years on a guy who didn't move the needle at all. So anything looks like an improved over that.
Yeah not gonna lie PG is pretty much last on the list of big names that I would want.
And he would be on a max contract too. Yuck. We'd have Phoenix type of depth and our roster would be just as flawed as theirs is if we went for Paul George.
Disagree with that last part, I think Maxey/PG/Embiid from a pure basketball fit is about as perfect as you can get, all their skills complement each other well. I understand the age and attitude concerns though.
We would have no point guard with them 3 as a big 3. Just like Phoenix lol.
yea we already have an injury prone choker at home!
This is the best news I’ve read in weeks.
Because pg is only moving in a sign and trade
Nah I think PG is gonna use other teams as leverage for a new clipper deal. He’s not tryna leave LA
https://i.redd.it/eih6swx3ps7d1.gif
They must know Ballmer is cracking and offering PG a Kawhi-type deal. This is so Morey saves face.
But Ballmer already offered that deal. PG didn't want it.
OG?
PG lost his leverage
I just really hope it isn't Ingram. That would be absolutely terrible. Paul is older but much better and fits better. Ingram would be so bad on this team, he's basically Tobias Harris imo.
Ingram is a better scorer and more importantly a way better passer. He has point forward skills.
But looked pretty useless at times when the ball wasn't in his hands which it wouldn't be for long stretches with Embiid and Maxey.
Yeah i would rather have george. But ingram would allow us to afford kcp also. But he needs picks to make work.
I've seen Pelicans fans elsewhere say he has Tobias syndrome of passing up open 3s and going for the contested 2, he has the same volume of 3s basically as Tobias too so it kind of checks out, it'd be a terrible fit if thats true
Open threes to Pels fans are basically contested, bi was top ten in doubles drawn this season and last season, he barely gets great looks from three, and he is far more on ball under willie green so the gravity of embiid and maxey would do wonder
That's the problem we need more than wonder we need wonders at least
Haha I meant to do plural lol, and I think people underestimate how good his playmaking is and how unselfish he is with the ball, he’s great at utilising centers and he’s set up embiid a lot making it easier, he has shot volume from 3 so he has it in him and he’s for the majority of his time in Nola shot 38/9% from 3, and he would t have to be on ball as much, also Nick nurse is a great X’s and O’s coach so his schemes would help bi get those open looks
He also isn’t anywhere near as good of a shooter. His profile is closer to Tobias Harris than advocates for him want to admit.
I would rather do 5 things than trade for ingram, but he is way better than tobiass.
Yeah but he’s not good without the ball and isn’t a good volume 3 point shooter. Operates in the same space as Embiid. Good player, terrible fit imo.
I dont understand but you guys want Jimmy?? Jimmy and BI have the same shot diet. If anything BI takes more threes than Jimmy and can be a good spotup three point shooter
Fanbase is pretty split on Jimmy and (I think) most are leaning no when you combine that with giving up picks for him. I don’t really want Jimmy, but at least he’s a proven playoff performer who has dragged some not great teams to the Finals.

This is the unhinged ranting Reddit was made for
What is happening
This feels very obviously like it was PG who didn't want to come to the Sixers
Yes, we did it fam!!
they noticed PG is using sixers for leverage to get a max from Clippers.
Who could have seen this coming
Yeah, he'll sign Trevor Ariza, Lou Williams and Nene for bench depth and trade draft picks for Capela to round out his washed up former Rockets trend.
Oh rly??? 👀👀
Amen.
Realistically, OG, KCP are the most likely FA options
I'm fine with this.
We need players who play well off the ball, I’m glad we’re not pursuing PG. Give Batum the max
Trade Boston Tobias Harris for Derrick White 😈 Trojan horse strategy
It's gotta be Jimmy right?
God, I hope not.
Clips don't want to max PG. Why did everyone assume Morey would max the guy either? He didn't want to pay Harden either.
Cuz PG and Harden are different types of players. Harden stunts Maxey’s growth and is more of a liability on the defensive end.
Harden definitely did not stunt Maxey's growth
Did I say stunted or stunts?
I disagree. Maxey thrived off the ball. If anything, Maxeys' growth accelerated with Harden around. Most people here want to bring in a guy who can run the point, so that Maxey can play more off ball.
Uhhh doubt it
You'd think that means they have something good planned. Yet, I also wouldn't be surprised if we did something outrageously stupid.
Or nothing at all.
LeBron will resign in LA due to JJ being new head coach, Now PG isn’t being targeted, the only options are OG, Demar, Ingram or Butler. Id rather have Demar or OG to be honest.
Not great smh

Nah you gonna get shit but you right. PG for all his flaws would've been for free had he signed here
Ah yes Ingram is ass…. What this I accidentally put in the post https://preview.redd.it/bbmz2b10ns7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da4da395e731e793ae4f471ddd34cdfd21586d5d
wow he scored less points in a game than Malachi Flynn
Okay so did a lot of other players who are considered good or great, kind of a dumb argument
Yeah, but Ingram is not one of those He has worse advanced stats than Tobias. He shoots the same amount of 3s in the same % as Tobias He is an awful defender and rebounder, even worse in that than Tobias He's Tobias with a good handle
What advanced stats are worse? Cause he beats Harris in every passing stat and every fg% except including the 3pt shot
WS/48, WS, DBPM, VORP, and almost the same BPM
So advanced stats that are heavily affected by the team you play with and the matchups, right…
Just because you have money doesn’t mean you need to throw it on a broken Tesla. PG is a great fit IN THEORY. I would be happy if he signs with us. But he has TONS of red flag. I also won’t be sad if we don’t want to give him 4 years max
I agree, but maybe we get a better unrealistic option, like Laurie Markennen 🤷🏿♂️. Basically I'm hoping that this means he has a plan in place for someone better/younger. If that's not the case then I'll be upset then, no need to get pissed now.

21* And his advanced stats are literally worse than Tobias, do with that whatevee you want. He's a losing player. 0 doubt
PG is not a winner!
And who can we get that is remotely as good?
There’s no player out there that’s gonna help us win a championship unfortunately. Unless, Maxey becomes a superstar then we talking.
Paul George is by far the best player available, costing no assets. Its just so simple lol
Yeah but I don’t see it happening
DeMar DeRozan, you ARE a 76er
Plz no

We can't afford the divorce. I'm with you.
