Dinsh!ddy off the board to Lakers.

I expect us to sign Lowry now.

Also need a forward that can shoot like Gallo or J. Harris.

Biyombo has signed with OKC....Thought he would have really helped our rebounding issues. Good signing by OKC.

Won’t be surprised if Metu is signed since he might be the only serviceable big available…even if he’s only 6’9

If not I honestly don’t hate the idea of bringing Thad home.

IF the team ever gets healthy I hope Nurse goes Maxey-Melton-Hield-Tobi-Reed which leaves Batum on the bench making a Gallinari/Bertans signing unnecessary. Those 2 are both going to hurt D and rebounding more than they help

Guys signing now were waived, Lowry and other actual buyouts have not hit the market yet.

Morey is such a star ****. No matter how cooked they are. If you're available and were an All Star at some point in your career, he's pitching a tent.

He's so horned up for this upcoming Lowry signing.

(To be fair, I do think he's a good addition behind Maxey. And his other ones like Dwight and Drummond have worked out. Just not to the level he gets horned up for them. Settle down, Daryl. Their veteran backups!)

Rudy Gay and Danny Green want to join contenders. At this point we could probably use either one.

Amazed at how little the fraudster values a backup C...especially with Embiid's injury history.

I've been expecting them to bring back Danny since the day they let him go.

Yeah, I'm surprised that with management apparently doubling down on this season and hoping to maintain a sufficiently good regular-season record that we can compete in the playoffs, they didn't think to get a passable center. Maybe Morey thinks that he can still get Gallinari or Thad Young to play some oddly sized center. Young would be a big mistake, IMO. I wouldn't mind Galli at all. But as with Dinwiddie, I'd bet that he'd sign with the Lakers.

He's safe from Embiid landing on him for at least another month too

I’d imagine that Nick Nurse is advocating hard for Lowry to come to Philly too after their time in Toronto. I’m good with it, he’s a good leader & mentor for Maxey. He’d replace the vet presence that Pat Bev had, except he’s not an ego maniac who will try to take credit for the success of his teammates.

Lowry locked in. I think we still need one more. Hoping for Gallo since we desperately need bigs.

Yeah. A guy with size who can shoot. A hope we have a shot at him.

The other guy will be a center, likely some name guy who was good in 2018 but is washed now. I don’t think they can bring in a third guy and stay under the tax.

Biyombo should have been signed the minute Embiid went down.

Paul Reed better step up. His $7M next season is at stake.

Morey’s probably going to sign Omer Asik

There are no centers currently on the market worth signing. Harry Giles? Noel?

Thad Young might be the best big left. He could probably hold down a few mins of smallball 5.

I think a wing is a need. I'd take Danny Green to take over House Jr. minutes.
