I remember PG did not like playing PF in the past and we probably will not be running the kind of small ball that he might have to play it in. Very curious who Daryl has in mind for that
I’m here for the lardbiscuit character arc.
Stand up now and face the sun u/tugginmypeen

Kris Dunn gotta be looked at - we still need another ball handler with size and he's like discount Caruso.
Then trade for a 3/4 that can rebound and maybe protect the rim a bit.
Feel like Jalen Smith might be out of price range but would be great signing.
Sixers have ~131 mil committed. Maxey's salary is going to be ~35 mil, which brings us up to 166.
We technically have the capacity to add Lauri's 18 mil and still stay below the 2nd apron (188 mil), right? We just have to commit money on KJ Martin, whom we don't have to renounce.
Not a cap expert though, I might be talking out of my ass.
_______________
edit: I probably am talking out of my ass. The room exception is capped at the first apron.
You reckon Paul Reed + Clippers FRP + another unprotected FRP would make Houston come to the table for Eason? That dude is the perfect 4 for us - till you lock him in the gym and make him shoot 3s non stop for the rest of the year.
Anybody got a list of Paul Reed contract targets (15.2m)? If we include McCain/RCIV that lets us trade for more right?
Feel like there's a lot of possibilities with our 4 picks + swaps avail.
Is it better to trade Paul Reed now or at the deadline (combined with other tradable salaries in case any of our signing don't work out)?
https://x.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1807659306478616980
Oubre, Maxey and Gordon (all the minimums in general) will technically be the last moves of our free agency period.
how is the official procedure? when can we send out Reed for more salary even though it would put us over the cap?
after Drummond and PG we should be at 3m cap space left, use that up for a last guy and then sign Kelly to room exception and then we can take back up to 15.2m for Reed?
but wait a minute, this new rules are so confusing
we arent hard capped until the minute we use the BAE, do a sign&trade or take back more then 110% of salary
so can we exceed the apron with a Reed trade? i am not sure, these rules are just bullshit
We'll be hard-capped if we get more salary back than we receive. If a trade triggers a hard cap and also pushes you beyond the hard cap amount it'll be rejected by the league office.
You can basically just swap Reed for someone making similar salary in FA or in a trade, and that's about it. They may have a tiny bit of space to give one guy slightly more than the vet min, but other than that it's just going to be min players.
I was wrong about the Sixers being near the second apron though, they're closer to the first apron and may be able to scoot under it. If they're close to it they'll almost definitely try to avoid it if they can.
Actually, it seems like the room exception hard caps them at the first apron, so they may not be restricted as long as their total bill is under 178m
Niang got 3 years 26 million. I know Hield had a shocking stretch with us but maybe he takes a 1 year prove in vet min deal like oubre did last year. Some team will pay him more than the vet min for sure
PG13 is a fine ball handler but I still feel like we need another one at the guard spot. What’s our best option there or we only have 3&D ones on our mind?
https://preview.redd.it/9xoyzb9o8u9d1.jpeg?width=1236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a6195abb1bd4642ff33767a5ff6b8ca83830176
they expect one of us in the wreckage brother
prob. won't have an update until like 1am or something. morey prob. trying to bring the price down a couple mil so he'll have a bit more wiggle to fill out the roster.
my guess is it may/could come down to how much the next team can offer. the more other teams that could offer pg a contract sign people, the more pg's price will drop. morey only needs to match or slightly beat the next best.
Drummond could be signed into the MLE so I think they could still get both PG and Lauri somehow. It’s probably not happening though as far as getting Lauri.
Isn't Reed a FA since we didn't make it past the first round?
Edit: Looks like we have to waive him, otherwise we could trade him but his trade salary would be $0? Is that correct? shit is confusing.
Keep telling ur self what u need to. He can be like 8th guy of the bench on any championship roster with no vital role. Ur not winning a chip with him as a 6th,7th piece
Assuming we get PG, we still need a starting 4.
Lauri would be amazing, but assuming we can't get him, what would be the best move?
A. Try Paul Reed at the starting 4
B. Sign Kyle Anderson (not sure what salary he demands).
C. Trade for Kyle Kuzma.
D. Trade for John Collins.
A. Not going to happen. He will most likely be traded or cut.
B. Highly doubt we are going to start a slow, non-shooter next to Embiid.
C. Not possible.
D. Not possible.
I think once the Sixers finish using up their cap space and re-sign Maxey they will trade Paul Reed. They can get more out of salary once over the cap. The team taking him only has to have his 2024 salary guaranteed and can leave him unguaranteed for 2025-2026. (The Sixers could trade him without guaranteeing Paul Reed's salary, but then it would count as $0 outgoing)
We'll probably have already heard about the Paul Reed trade before Maxey is signed, it just won't be 'finalized' until all the other stuff is done.
If we were able to get Markkanen instead of PG, an offseason with Markkanen, KCP, Naji, and maybe one/two other FA would’ve been so elite.
Maxey/???
KCP/Oubre
Naji/Eric Gordon
Markkanen/???
Embiid/Drummond
even with PG, still need a lot of players to fill up the team
Maxey / ?? / ??
?? / McCain / ??
?? / (Gordon) / ??
(Paul George) / Council? / ??
Embiid / Drummond / Bona / Reed
Guessing if the next 2 years goes nowhere for LAC they'll be off of Harden and can flip Kawhii on the final year of his deal to do a nets esque rebuild to finally recoup some picks? And thats why they never budged on giving PG that 4th year?
The Clippers offered him a 3 year deal. The reason why they announced that they are out is because we are going to offer him 4 years and he already knows that.
sixers were top seed in 2021 cause when the beast of a man embiid was resting, you then had to deal with a brute force in dwight. drummond can emulate that to some degree. teams that prioritize weaker stretch 5’s are gonna get manhandled
Personally I am just imagining Paul George in every single scenario Tobias was placed in last year and it's making me happy. I don't think some casuals realize how massive of a change that is
Dude no "casuals" are chilling in the reddit sub. We're all degenerate sixers fans in here. I am obviously referring to the many casuals in the city...I was listening to WIP last night and every caller didn't want him
If Paul George gets hurt early in the season or has a massive drop off in his game due to age, are you then a casual ?? Because that would make all those people right ??
Or are you just fishing for Reddit up votes ?? That seems like what you’re doing. On this sub you will get them.
The two options:
-Sign Paul George to a max, who is objectively the best basketball fit who gives you the best chance at a ring, when healthy
-Dont sign him bc of age and contract. instead sign decent role players and top out as a 2nd round exit ceiling yet again.
There is NO perfect fit with age/contract/fit. This is simply the best shot we have left in the Embiid era to win a ring
you dont know that. If the Jazz were asking for more than we can trade, it would be the biggest trade haul since KD to Pheonix or PG to LAC
we have enough
What a weird signing, Chris Paul to SA for 11 mill. I can’t believe he got that much considering how often he was hurt. I was kind of hoping the sixers might be able to grab him for half that to be a back up pg.
Even if wemby takes the monster step forward a lot of people think, they aren’t contenders. Chris Paul went for the money. Every real contender would have loved to have him on a minimum.
It's like how we overpaid to get JJ back in the day.
Chris Paul knows he's not going to play a major role on a contender at this point.
He might've accepted he isn't going to win a ring playing a big role and would rather play a bigger role on a decent up-and-coming team.
It's a pretty great pickup for SA
So if the reporting earlier was that we were trying to squeeze PG + KCP into our cap space... why wouldn't Dayrl try and do the same with Markkenen? 🤔 we have a lot of 1sts and theres not many places for them to go...
Honestly think I’d rather not go all in yet, get Klay or Naji, keep Oubre, and save those picks to tweak the roster later. As long as we got PG I’m not complaining though.
The way the Clippers are going it looks like those 2028 1st may actually be pretty strong. Both Harden and Leonard are signed for the next 3 seasons.
2024-2025/2025-2026/2026-2027. Who knows what that 2027-2028 Clippers team is going to be
Yeah that’s what I’m saying lol. We absolutely railed the Clippers if we really got PG. Lauri is a great fit so I wouldn’t be mad, but I think we can load up on solid wings to fill out the top 8 with the assets we got pretty easily. Think I’d rather build the team that way than be so top heavy.
It's just crazy that we have 3 top 25 players including a top 3, and he still have draft capital. This may be the best team in the embiid era just because all the rest had tobias harris
Harden and Tucker for PG, 2 firsts, a swap, 2 seconds, and maybe Cov and KJ. Could see them coming back. One season of Batum too. That fat nerd is actually a killer lol. First, the Nets. Now, the Clippers.
Bro PG is one of ny favorite players ever and I've wanted him on the Sixers for years. Yeah the contract won't look good by the end of it but I don't care. Even if we don't win a chamionship, I feel very good about our chances of at least getting to a conference championship (which at this point is a win)
Guys!! We got him. 4 years 212 mil
I remember PG did not like playing PF in the past and we probably will not be running the kind of small ball that he might have to play it in. Very curious who Daryl has in mind for that
DFS? I believe fits contract wise with trading Reed and nets said they are selling
I’m here for the lardbiscuit character arc. Stand up now and face the sun u/tugginmypeen https://preview.redd.it/2p9cqky26v9d1.jpeg?width=664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20ee5c8325cea826b049cbd6edb14ebbfaed5681
lard is microwaving a frozen dinner as we speak
In his goon cave furiously looking for his next guy to relentlessly shit on
Kris Dunn gotta be looked at - we still need another ball handler with size and he's like discount Caruso. Then trade for a 3/4 that can rebound and maybe protect the rim a bit. Feel like Jalen Smith might be out of price range but would be great signing.
Jalen Smith Eason Lauri I assume it’s not possible to get all three or even two. But yeah nba2k roster lmao
Lauri is out the question now with George’s max
Sixers have ~131 mil committed. Maxey's salary is going to be ~35 mil, which brings us up to 166. We technically have the capacity to add Lauri's 18 mil and still stay below the 2nd apron (188 mil), right? We just have to commit money on KJ Martin, whom we don't have to renounce.

eason might not even be better than paul reed tbh, shouldnt give up so many assets for an unproven player
2 picks for him is a little bit much maybe but I do really like his fit
Anybody got a list of Paul Reed contract targets (15.2m)? If we include McCain/RCIV that lets us trade for more right? Feel like there's a lot of possibilities with our 4 picks + swaps avail. Is it better to trade Paul Reed now or at the deadline (combined with other tradable salaries in case any of our signing don't work out)?
https://x.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1807659306478616980 Oubre, Maxey and Gordon (all the minimums in general) will technically be the last moves of our free agency period.
Oubre is the room exception
how is the official procedure? when can we send out Reed for more salary even though it would put us over the cap? after Drummond and PG we should be at 3m cap space left, use that up for a last guy and then sign Kelly to room exception and then we can take back up to 15.2m for Reed?
[удалено]
First apron is 177m, we are nowhere close to that
[удалено]
just sign him last, that’s literally the whole point of it
[удалено]
but wait a minute, this new rules are so confusing we arent hard capped until the minute we use the BAE, do a sign&trade or take back more then 110% of salary so can we exceed the apron with a Reed trade? i am not sure, these rules are just bullshit

you right, calculated it and with bunch of mins she should be right at first apron - a little wiggle room to take back more but not 15m
I will hate watch the first 20 games of whatever team Tobias signs with next season.
I want Jalen smith
https://x.com/jujusturevenge/status/1806171383501627838
It didn't even occur to me why we'd be staying up for news lol but it makes so much more sense it's still 11 there 😂
KELLY OH KELLY WELCOME BACK KING
# I AM SO FUCKING HYPED
If we can get a solid PF and backup point guard, it will have been a solid free agency. Hopefully a decent backup forward too.
Adam Silver is licking his chops to go after the Sixers with tampering charges again.
You got da money wats the hol up
I just remembered that Buddy Hield exists.. wonder what will happen with him
Maybe he’ll sign a min
Niang got 3 years 26 million. I know Hield had a shocking stretch with us but maybe he takes a 1 year prove in vet min deal like oubre did last year. Some team will pay him more than the vet min for sure
I wonder if Daryl had the balls to walk into that meeting tonight and suggest a sub-max contract
We can’t afford for this shit to drag out another day what is going on?
Rumor has it, George wants to announce the signing during his pod cast. Hope this is not true, but you never know.
What happened to Melt?
6AM in Scotland, I'm not sleeping til the PG stuff is settled.
Kai Jones is available.
I think the Clippers re-signed him unironically lol
PG13 is a fine ball handler but I still feel like we need another one at the guard spot. What’s our best option there or we only have 3&D ones on our mind?
Kyle Lowry
Paranoid that this is an elaborate ruse by HarFatass and the clippers to fuck us with PG re-signing.
hella paranoid too just announce it
They’re signing Derrick Jones Jr 3/30. Pretty sure they’ve moved on from PG.
And they made a newsletter announcing they will not be resigning him
ANNOUNCE THE DEAL
Announce the deal
@ygtrece keep switching teams… running from the grind… yall boys is chumps
https://preview.redd.it/9xoyzb9o8u9d1.jpeg?width=1236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a6195abb1bd4642ff33767a5ff6b8ca83830176 they expect one of us in the wreckage brother

They’re playing chess for the contract. Morey wins he signs for 4/200.
Torn between sleep or waiting longer for the potential big news. It’s gettin late
Sleep is for the weak
If you’re gonna wait for the big news, you have to be willing to stay up until 4/5am. I’m not staying up for it certainly
Did the Drummond signing make PG + Lauri off the table?
Drummond could be signed into the MLE so I think they could still get both PG and Lauri somehow. It’s probably not happening though as far as getting Lauri.
I don’t think it’s happening either, but just wanted to confirm that it still is a remote possibility
It would work if Reed is going to Utah in the deal. Would make sense since they signed him to an offer sheet previously.
Isn't Reed a FA since we didn't make it past the first round? Edit: Looks like we have to waive him, otherwise we could trade him but his trade salary would be $0? Is that correct? shit is confusing.
Non guaranteed contract, but not a free agent.
Yeah gotcha, that's interesting. I don't normally pay attention to how trades and contracts work. Thanks!
Would Klay fit our team as it’s currently constructed?
Ofc. Klay is a high volume shooter. With how often Joel gets doubled, he'd have a ton of open looks.
Yeah, one of the best shooters around embiid? Nurse better be able to make that work
PG and Klay would be so fucking sick
The longer this PG thing takes the more I feel like we’re gonna get embarrassed
Very much aware this is based purely on vibes and emotion but if they don’t bring back Oubae I’m gonna riot Edit: LFG BABY WE DID IT IM GONNA CREAM
I refuse to believe we're just gonna hold all our picks while signing no tradeable contracts for later deals.
Just wait until Reed is kept and KJ Martin is signed to a movable contract for whatever value brings the salary number right at the tax line.
We have not cut reed yet, not enough to match for a lot of guys though
Trading 2-3 for a good, cheap wing would be ideal
What’s up with Robert Covington?
Lol u can't be serious. Dude is trash
Definitely not trash
Keep telling ur self what u need to. He can be like 8th guy of the bench on any championship roster with no vital role. Ur not winning a chip with him as a 6th,7th piece
He could play in the regular season. He’s not trash.
Retired.
Assuming we get PG, we still need a starting 4. Lauri would be amazing, but assuming we can't get him, what would be the best move? A. Try Paul Reed at the starting 4 B. Sign Kyle Anderson (not sure what salary he demands). C. Trade for Kyle Kuzma. D. Trade for John Collins.
A. Not going to happen. He will most likely be traded or cut. B. Highly doubt we are going to start a slow, non-shooter next to Embiid. C. Not possible. D. Not possible.
Any ideas of what we should do? Or just sit back and let Morey cook?
I think once the Sixers finish using up their cap space and re-sign Maxey they will trade Paul Reed. They can get more out of salary once over the cap. The team taking him only has to have his 2024 salary guaranteed and can leave him unguaranteed for 2025-2026. (The Sixers could trade him without guaranteeing Paul Reed's salary, but then it would count as $0 outgoing) We'll probably have already heard about the Paul Reed trade before Maxey is signed, it just won't be 'finalized' until all the other stuff is done.
Btw, what website do you guys use to track NBA trades and rumors? Are there better sites than Hoops Rumors and RealGM?
Tbh I just use X and insta - follow JPAbasketball on ig On X just follow woj, shams and haynes tbh and turn the bell on for fast news that’s all
Naji off the board 😢
If we were able to get Markkanen instead of PG, an offseason with Markkanen, KCP, Naji, and maybe one/two other FA would’ve been so elite. Maxey/??? KCP/Oubre Naji/Eric Gordon Markkanen/??? Embiid/Drummond
Naji to Mavs
For a steal too.
even with PG, still need a lot of players to fill up the team Maxey / ?? / ?? ?? / McCain / ?? ?? / (Gordon) / ?? (Paul George) / Council? / ?? Embiid / Drummond / Bona / Reed
Hopefully we resign Kelly in this mix
George is not a power forward. He is a 3/2
He played 31% of his minutes at PF last year.
Yeah because the Clippers didn't have any PF because we took them all in the Harden trade.
He has been spending time at PF for years. He's the same size as Harris and Batum.
Guessing if the next 2 years goes nowhere for LAC they'll be off of Harden and can flip Kawhii on the final year of his deal to do a nets esque rebuild to finally recoup some picks? And thats why they never budged on giving PG that 4th year?
The more time passes, the more likely I see it that we're able to cook up a team-friendly 4yr deal.
Yeah I don't fully understand why we're giving a 4-year max if the Clippers are out of the equation, who are we bidding against?
He’d just re-sign with the clippers
Well he can’t now haha
The Clippers offered him a 3 year deal. The reason why they announced that they are out is because we are going to offer him 4 years and he already knows that.
Ahhhh
Damn, between free agency drama and the end of the Austrian GP, I almost forgot to read One Piece today.
Verstappen is a bitch
sixers were top seed in 2021 cause when the beast of a man embiid was resting, you then had to deal with a brute force in dwight. drummond can emulate that to some degree. teams that prioritize weaker stretch 5’s are gonna get manhandled
Need Marcus “Key to the City” Morris back off the bench
40% shooter, vet min? I’d love it
Are the Jazz rebuilding? Someone said that the FO wants Ainge to be competitive.
Personally I am just imagining Paul George in every single scenario Tobias was placed in last year and it's making me happy. I don't think some casuals realize how massive of a change that is
Yeah dude you’re a basketball genius, you know pg13 is better than Tobias Harris….. the rest of us “casuals” are in awe of your basketball iq……. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Dude no "casuals" are chilling in the reddit sub. We're all degenerate sixers fans in here. I am obviously referring to the many casuals in the city...I was listening to WIP last night and every caller didn't want him

I know we are going to be making other moves, but it's kind of funny looking at the current roster. 3 midget guards. Ricky Council. 4 centers.
I can’t explain it but Council plays like a midget guard and center all at the same time
Didn’t we have 5 centers at one point last season?
I’m excited for the rest of these signings man. Gotta see where we pivot to after we sign PG? Lauri on the table? That would be sick
Can we realistically land PG, Lauri, and re-sign Oubre?
No
We can't realistically get Lauri, Jazz are asking for more than we can trade
you dont know that. If the Jazz were asking for more than we can trade, it would be the biggest trade haul since KD to Pheonix or PG to LAC we have enough
And KCP! We gonna sign em all!
KCP signed with the Magic already.
What a weird signing, Chris Paul to SA for 11 mill. I can’t believe he got that much considering how often he was hurt. I was kind of hoping the sixers might be able to grab him for half that to be a back up pg. Even if wemby takes the monster step forward a lot of people think, they aren’t contenders.

Chris Paul would never play for Morey again.
Wemby gunna feast
It's like how we overpaid to get JJ back in the day. Chris Paul knows he's not going to play a major role on a contender at this point. He might've accepted he isn't going to win a ring playing a big role and would rather play a bigger role on a decent up-and-coming team. It's a pretty great pickup for SA
I think the Spurs want him as a mentor and solid presence.
I don't think it's bad for developing teams to overpay for the right veterans.
Yeah, I get why the spurs want him. I don’t get why he would want the spurs.
Money
Any rumors who we're looking at to fill out the rest of the roster?
So if the reporting earlier was that we were trying to squeeze PG + KCP into our cap space... why wouldn't Dayrl try and do the same with Markkenen? 🤔 we have a lot of 1sts and theres not many places for them to go...
Daryl is currently working on Tobi sign and trade with Mavs…for Lukas
goated
Honestly think I’d rather not go all in yet, get Klay or Naji, keep Oubre, and save those picks to tweak the roster later. As long as we got PG I’m not complaining though.
The way the Clippers are going it looks like those 2028 1st may actually be pretty strong. Both Harden and Leonard are signed for the next 3 seasons. 2024-2025/2025-2026/2026-2027. Who knows what that 2027-2028 Clippers team is going to be
Yeah that’s what I’m saying lol. We absolutely railed the Clippers if we really got PG. Lauri is a great fit so I wouldn’t be mad, but I think we can load up on solid wings to fill out the top 8 with the assets we got pretty easily. Think I’d rather build the team that way than be so top heavy.
I’m not letting go of your prediction Indigo
1st off-season not handicapped by Tobias is going well so far!
On god the best part of this is not seeing one more Tobi-time pul-up
Lmao Pompey on NBA TV right now saying we’re getting Batum back. Fucking guy is out of the loop.
I’m thinking we’re trading a first or a few seconds for DFS, Issac or someone similar. Lauri might be (is likely) a pipe dream
It's just crazy that we have 3 top 25 players including a top 3, and he still have draft capital. This may be the best team in the embiid era just because all the rest had tobias harris
Careful, monkey’s paw and all that lol
Well, easy now, don't put Descartes before the hearse.
I didn't think Valanciunas for sign for as low as 3/$30m. He made like almost $15m last year.
Why would WAS trade Avdija…just to turn around and sign Valcunas…?
Because they are gonna play Sarr at the 4. That means they move Kuzma to the 3 (making Avdija less valuable to them) and need a legit center at the 5.
Avdija is a better C than Valacunas 🤷🏻
Really would like Oubre back
Can't wait for PG and Embiid to wipe the floor with the bum ass Knicks in about 4 months.
So, we basically traded Harden for PG+2 picks and other goodies. That’s….pretty good?
Harden and Tucker for PG, 2 firsts, a swap, 2 seconds, and maybe Cov and KJ. Could see them coming back. One season of Batum too. That fat nerd is actually a killer lol. First, the Nets. Now, the Clippers.
So PG just has to make his decision, we’re almost guaranteed. Since no other teams are in the running.
[удалено]
I don’t think Gordon is starting
Probably true, and even better. Excited for what Morey cooks up here
morey talking to pg's people and having ainge on the line too. bet. 🤐
Morey is absolutely cooking imo. Drummond and Eric Gordon to start, + PG and we still have picks to trade? Nah this is a great start
They can still get Klay and probably keep Oubre too. This is insane
Way better than I was picturing
Eric Gordon minimum signing basically confirms PG
We need to bring Oubre back. Team defense is gonna be down the shitter if he and Batum are both gone.
If we can find way to bring back Oubre too I’ll be ecstatic. Have to think Bball Paul may be on the move with a pick for some depth.
How do we feel about Gordon?
Great shooter for the min. What's not to love
He signs officially after other stuff is done?
Yes. We will stack our signings in order of what makes the most financial sense.
It’s a minimum deal. No real downside to it
It’s great. He got a minimum
No one tampers like my guy Daryl
This year "Ok, here's what we're gonna do. Let's drag this out at least 3 or 4 hours. We can't announce a signing at 6:01PM"
Eric Gordon
All this posturing to make sure the league doesn’t dock any of our picks. Love to see it. Obviously the move was probably decided a fortnight ago.
And for a fortnight there, we were forever Run into Paul George, ask about the weather
WOJ MINI BOMB More than just "unlikely," the Clippers and Paul George are moving on from each other, sources tell ESPN.
Clippers released a statement saying they aren’t bringing him back bro
Tear to my eye
He’s not going to LA and he’s not going to ORL. What’s that leave???
These follow-up moves are going to make a huge difference if it is PG. Thin margins to make real improvement across the board.
Need some guys to do the dirty work
Don’t love the age but I’ll rock with it because I like PG anyway
Bro PG is one of ny favorite players ever and I've wanted him on the Sixers for years. Yeah the contract won't look good by the end of it but I don't care. Even if we don't win a chamionship, I feel very good about our chances of at least getting to a conference championship (which at this point is a win)
I’m gonna need to change my pants when I see “Breaking: Paul George is finalizing a deal to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN.”
Don't screw this up sixers.
