The Sixers would likely offer McCain, PG and picks but the Bucks would say no.
J
So Josh Harris a pedophile and friends with Epstein. We need buddy out of here by Monday
X
I’m neutral on the trade for Giannis, but it does sadden me that everyone is agreeing Giannis is an extreme health risk, but when I said the same thing about Paul George 2 years ago I was a doomer & hater 💔💔.
S
completely different scenarios. PG didnt cost any draft capital to acquire and his game is more likely to age more gracefully. giannis’ game is predicated on his size and athleticism lol
X
I’m not talking about trade scenarios themselves just the concept of how much of an injury risk both players are in a vacuum. PG had significantly more injury history than Giannis and was showing much sharper signs of decline than Giannis at the time we signed him. There’s no logical way you can argue PG was less of an injury risk than Giannis.
S
lol u aint wrong about their injury risks, but realistically what better options did they have?
M
“Literally anything else”. Or, Morey could’ve stayed on that Simmons-path of “waiting until we get a star we value”. There was literally no reason other than his final year with the Clippers to feel that way about PG. It’s the Tobias situation x 10, how did NO ONE in that front office push back?
X
I’m not stating they had a better option. All I’m saying is when they signed Paul George I said “He’s most likely going to get hurt” and was labeled a doomer for that statement lmao.
H
My verdict is simple. No trading for Giannis 🚩 Can’t shoot 🚩 Can’t make his free throws consistently 🚩 Calf injuries
L
Listing any reason to not want giannis that isn’t age/injury related is silly. If giannis is healthy right now and on the sixers we’d be title contenders lol. He is at worst the third best player in the league, an elite two way superstar.
O
People forget how grim the future looked like for the sixers a year ago lol. We literally got handed hope for the next decade to come and yall already want to scrap it
S
For those who want to trade VJ and everything for Giannis. How are you going to fill rest of team after the trade? Presumably, you will need Pg, McCain, VJ, every available picks and swap to get Giannis. So, after the trade, you are left with Embiid, Maxey, Giannis and …..????? Keep in mind, Giannis has a PO for 2027-2028. You have one year window to make things work, otherwise he is going to ask out again. There won’t be any assets left after Giannis trade. So, you will be relying on buyout, vet min or 2 ways to fill rest of the team
F
Well there’s another version of the trade that would keep the supporting cast and depth in place while still having high championship odds and some kind of future. But it’ll never happen for a lot of reason but a more ruthless GM would explore it.
S
I am aware what you are talking about and it may be the superior approach But as you said, it would require a ruthless GM to explore it. Brad Steven is probably the only GM that has the ball to do it
S
brad stevens didnt trade jaylen brown for KD when he had the chance. GM’s generally dont trade young stars for older stars with an extensive injury history
F
Leon rose I think would also. But yea there’s a lot more than purely basketball and the roster that goes into making a trade like that. I get why it’s not going to happen but it’s far more interesting than how it’s portrayed by sixers fans imo.
S
ur idea of trading maxey makes the least amount of sense because: 1. milwaukee wants picks first and foremost. they are not gonna trade for maxey and waste his prime next to the likes of kuzma and KPJ 2. maxey is by far the highest volume three point shooter on the team and an elite one at that. why would a team trade for giannis but strip the shooting off the team? 3. any trade for giannis will be done with the intention of re-signing him. it’s been reported that giannis would like to play with a young star player like maxey. hes not gonna waste his prime waiting for young prospects to develop
F
1. Maxey is an all star at 25. Do you want that or any of the other reported packages? None of the teams rumored come close to offering the value of what Maxey is. Golden state picks in the 2030’s? KAT? Herro and two picks? 2. The sixers with vj grimes pg embiid McCain would have plenty of shooting. Other guys would just get more up! Not to mention how elite giannis is at spraying to shooters. 3. Yea I don’t really care about that or what giannis wants, just talking about I think is interesting if the team is set on making a giannis trade. And the sixers would have at minimum 2 legit title shots with giannis. He’d stay if they played well in the playoffs.
M
2. Plenty of shooting, HAVE YOU SEEN THEM SHOOT. Paul George’s volume variance is disgusting. He’ll have a game like he did against the Bucks, but he’ll also have a game like last night(4 3PA.). And looking at Joel as a pure floor spacer is extreme cope. Considier this: The 76ers are one of the worst shooting teams in the NBA, WITH Maxey at Curry-like levels. Imagine if it weren’t the case. Yeah, no, Maxey’s indepensible for a lot of reasons and the biggest is the shooting.
F
Yea if only they would be acquiring one of the best 3 pt creators in the history of the sport. And yea nick nurse is an atrocious offense coach but that’s a separate issue.
M
“3pt creation” is not a fix for shooting. The Bucks for example have guys like Bobby Portis, Gary Trent JR, etc. For all of the issues they have, shooting isn’t one of those. You pair those with Giannis, you’ll get easy looks. Now on the other hand, Embiid has never REALLY been a volume shooter(much less an accurate one.) A Maxey trade leaves us SOLELY relying on PG from the outside. Literally, one of the worst 3pt shooting teams would have a drastic downgrade in your approach, despite getting a 3pt creator. They have to actually make the shots.
F
And grimes and McCain…
E
i 100% do not want to trade For Giannis but usually when those deals are done they talk about an extension before the trade so the team is usually pretty sure its not a rental. usually i do not think we should do the trade
H
Why has Malik Beasley not been signed when he got cleared? Seems like a mystery to me
H
It’s weird, I guess our trade options must be really limited if there isn’t even one player, realistic or not, who’s name has consistently come up as a trade option on this sub. Pretty sure there was a time you could find a daily Alex Caruso trade idea on this sub for about 3.5 years.
O
Someone make a trade. Doesn’t need to be us it’s just so boring out there goddamn
J
Just wanna say that trading VJ + loads of picks for Giannis would turn out exactly how trading SGA plus picks for late-prime PG turned out. We’d get a back-of prime superstar, win absolutely nothing, and watch him slowly fade as the kid we traded away blossomed into a star. Nope. Thank god the front office is not interested, just like they refused to include Maxey in trades
T
The lakers traded a bunch of prospects for AD and won a ring. It goes both ways
L
AD was 26 when he was traded. Still, I’m not really against trading for giannis. It’s unlikely as hell though
T
Yea it could go really bad or really great. I don’t think it’s a clear option either way if you think Maxey and Joel are still a top duo
B
The certainty that this fanbase has in Edgecombe becoming an MVP level player, and Giannis being totally washed is strange. There is a very real chance his ceiling is actually Jrue Holiday rather than a top 3 player in the league. And that’s still a high percentile outcome.
M
If VJ becomes a taller Jrue with a little more offensive pop, then yeah that’s well worth keeping long-term with Maxey in the backcourt.
O
The odds of Giannis being injured this post seasons are very high. The odds that both Giannis and Embiid are healthy in 2027? Very very low. No one knows the future, but a kid with VJ’s athletic gift that’s hardworking and has his mindset is going to be a bonafide superstar as the number 1 option for any franchise.
B
The odds of Giannis being healthy in the playoffs are way higher than Edgecombe becoming a bonafide superstar. Exponentially so.

That’s the crazy part of these NBA games, the players have no idea what the score is. Ever.

They get handed stat sheets at the end of every quarter I think

Just for the record so no one gets it twisted, this dude isn’t me.
C
All good bro. Even if I disagree with you sometimes, I like you sharing your thoughts and you definitely care about the team. MMA is a troll who only cares about jerking off to himself in a mirror or to his weird obsession with VJ. Nobody really cares what he has to say
C
why tf are there two of you now
S
The other one is MMA

Tyrese Maxey is 1 of 6 players this season with 5 or more 40-point games. https://preview.redd.it/38gqlm1upigg1.png?width=376&format=png&auto=webp&s=b74b0bf17444e516befc8e50d2ab223edcb1bd7e

Elite company. We’re blessed, as fans, to get to watch one of these guys almost every night.
S
My Giannis proposal Sixers get: Giannis, Thanasis, Gary Trent Jr., worse of 2029 GSW/LAC Bucks get: Butler, McCain, EG, Edwards, 2028 LAC, better of 2029 GSW/LAC, 2031 GSW, 2032 PHI Warriors get: PG, 2030 PHI, their own 2027 and 2028 second round picks back from us warriors replace butler with PG for 2 firsts but get back one first and two seconds bucks get 4 quality firsts, only 1.5 years dead salary in jimmy, young guys Sixers get Giannis and his brother, with some shooting Cap and Stepien rule issues solved for each team My guess is GSW would say no first, but I think there could be *something* there between these three teams. add in protections or swaps if needed. Extra wrinkle could be – Turner and EG to GSW, Kuminga, Horford, 2027 GSW, those seconds to MIL. Or something idk just an idea.
S
You might have made it too complicated but o could see something with these 3 teams if (and it is a big if) we were to get Giannis. I just don’t see how GSWs package around a broken down Jimmy and at most 3 mid firsts (and swaps) is a winning deal but if we did a deal with pg and picks for Giannis (not saying I want to) neither the bucks or mil would really want pg there and before the butler deal both pg and warriors were interested in getting together both in free agency and last years trade deadline – getting off the jimmy contract and bringing in pg for a 1st is something I could see them do if they don’t win a bigger trade like Giannis. Mil if they aren’t focused on winning could buy jimmy out get 3 picks from us and 1 from them which would be a strong return. I don’t see it happening but if we do get Giannis I could see it make sense
S
yeah it’s definitely a bit complicated, mostly because of the stepien stuff. In order to give Milwaukee both LAC picks, we need to get a 2029 pick back, which the bucks don’t have. GS seemed like a good candidate because if they want one more run with Curry they’ve gotta turn Jimmy into someone useful. But they can’t give their 2029 pick without getting a 2030 back lol. Probably too messy, but just an idea. we can simplify it by cutting out GS but I think it benefits everyone a bit better if it’s a three team deal
S
Yea I get the reasoning I figured the best we could realistically offer would be 28 lac and 30 and 32 from us and you could give swap rights in some circumstances too such as are 28 pick if we keep it (it is protected 1-8 and would turn into 2 2nds for nets) which is unlike but a free lottery ticket. If bucks could get a 29 1st elsewhere we could put swap rights on the 29 pick too for better of us or lac I get what you were doing but just a lot of moving parts – keep it simple 3 firsts including the 28 lac plus maybe a 4th from gsw would be a strong offer in my opinion 32 Sixers is a ways away and a pure lottery ticket but 28 lac should be a pretty good pick – I like that better than the 3 max picks gsw can give (26-28-32) – there 26 and 28 picks should be mid level at best and 32 would als just be a lottery ticket wit the older team
C
I can’t wait for the trade deadline to be over so I can stop seeing all these terrible takes. Some of you guys are ridiculous
A
My theory is Grimes is being traded and thats why he’s being held out.
