Discussion

Morey has almost 50 million dollars worth of expiring contracts that he can plan with in trades, 3 first round picks, and a handful of 2nd rounders.

Most likely (and i think a good thing), we will get to see the team play for another 2-3 months to really assess what’s working, what’s not, what’s needed, and what’s available around the league.

Do you think we should target a star player?

Lavine, OG Anunoby type players.

Or should we target high quality/complimentary role players?

Caruso, Barnes type players

Final note:

This is the first time since he’s been with the team that Morey has a clean slate/assets to make an impactful trade WITHOUT having to account for either a shit roster that he inherited or diva guards demanding trades. I never thought he’d get the return he did for harden, so really was writing this season off, but there’s a real chance for Morey to do some damage here.

Suddenly it’s a very exciting time to be a sixers fan, again.

EDIT: didn’t include harris in this list because i tnhink he actually fits really well with embiid/maxey as a duo under nurse, but he is certainly tradeable and would be an additional 36 million in expiring that Morey could play with.

    I’ve wanted harrison barnes next to embiid for years, and would love to see morey make a move for him if the kings struggle come the deadline.

    He’s not a sexy name, but i think he’d fit insanely well.

    Wouldn’t be at all mad if Morey traded for Caruso and Barnes,

    Starting lineup Maxey - Caruso - Barnes - Harris - Embiid

    Backups - Beverly - Melton - Oubre Jr - Batum/Roco - Reed

    Morey deserves more credit than he’s getting for keeping the sixers title hopes alive.
