We gave up quite literally our most barren of scraps for Harden. That is f***ing hilarious. How did we not give up Mann or Norm. How. By acquiring only expiring contracts, Morey's plan of maximizing cap space for 2024-25 remains intact. Still seems potentially bad to me because Embiid could potentially get injured or frustrated and demand a trade, but it might be the best Morey could do after digging himself this hole. The problem with having all that cap space is the best available free agent is almost never a top 20 level player, the top stars almost always resign or force their way out through a trade,it just leads to a situation where teams with a ton of cap space overpay for like Mike Conley,Jerami Grant or Fred Van Vleet level dudes.

that’s gonna backfire, embiid is gonna want out asap unless Maxey turns into god They got two firsts and multiple seconds in this deal along with actual bench depth behind Oubre right now that they didn't have before (Hence why they had and had to waive Danny Green) This trade got rid of a toxic dipshit in Harden and gave the Sixers the ammo and cap space they need to trade for someone else at a high caliber, it'll be on Morey to get it done. Joel isn't going to demand a trade, and I'm sick of people insinuating he will when this isn't even over yet lol what bench depth? marcus morris? it is an absolute dogshit deal lmao

Joel isn't going to demand a trade, and I'm sick of people insinuating he will when this isn't even over yet lol what bench depth? marcus morris? it is an absolute dogshit deal lmao It's not a dogshit deal in the slightest, they got two firsts, multiple seconds, got rid of a team cancer, PJ Tucker who wasn't really doing anything at this stage, and got Roco, Morris, and Batum for bench (KJ too if they keep him who has a lot of youth upside) and likely use those picks to flip for another better player down the line, and have max cap space to potentially sign a player in the offseason on top of that with the money they freed up. The "Good" deal would have been getting Mann and multiple firsts and I don't see how that would have helped, they were just gonna try and flip him anyway per reports. This was all about acquiring depth for the team bench in the end, which they needed and got, and getting ammo and cap space for another better player, which they also got. Clippers can have fun with James, since he's just gonna do what he did with every other team before this. Sixers look good so far without him, and hopefully can now improve with what they got for him in the now and the future. Also Morris averaged 15 points a game last year, Roco is still shooting 3's as of last season at a 44% clip, these guys aren't scrubs and they had no one behind Oubre, I watched the games, Danny Green definitely wasn't it. They improved, made cap room, got ammo for another trade, so as I said, this isn't over yet lol, this is gonna be something that for Clippers fans I think is gonna look like the Sixers got "fleeced" or whatever, but realistically, I think they got what they wanted and this is only step one, and it's gonna be something to revisit to see how it develops.

Not a great deal. For either really. I think the Clippers still miss out on a chip with how often their real stars miss time in the playoffs. And adding a notoriously choking Harden doesn't exactly put them above Denver, GS, Boston, Milwaukee, etc. But I can't fault them for the price. Getting a player of Harden's caliber for only a 1st and a swap is dirt cheap, and they get a good glue guy in Tucker. 2nds are nothing. The Sixers get Morris who is kind of repetitive with Harris. Both forwards are pretty one dimensional scorers. Batum continues to defy aging, but is inconsistent as always. Mann would have been a great get. Covington is a good defender, but past his prime. It's a lot of meh pieces. They definitely have more depth now and their SF position looks better. These guys probably eat into Reed's time on the floor though. Overall, not a good return for Harden.

Yeah it’s a pretty blah deal both ways. No brainer for the Clippers but Harden isn’t the difference maker he used to be, so the name might be bigger than his actual impact at this point. The Sixers got bit pieces at best. I guess what Philly does with the cap space is going to decide how good of a deal this was.

So it's very much looking like 76ers ownership either forced Daryl Morey to make a trade he didn't like or just flat-out made the trade themselves because they were tired of waiting. Shams specifically said that it was a phone call between Josh Harris and Steve Balmer that led us here. Strip Club Sun Tzu is undefeated.

Morey wanted Mann and the Clippers weren't gonna give up Mann So I guess what it came down to was "F*** this, here's a bunch of depth for Nurse to play with and here's some potential firsts to flip for a big name player before the deadline" It's gonna be up to them to make it work, but they did need to get Harden away, he was gonna become more and more of an albatross.

Good solid win for the Knicks. With the Cavs injuries, they had to win this game. It is going to be tougher tomorrow for who ever won this game.

Showing up to the arena dressed as Slenderman and then getting 4 blocks is unreasonably GOATed.

Someone in here posted "First meeting between Wemby vs Durant, Durant wins" when this game hit halftime and then promptly deleted their post by the end of the game lmfao
