If Windy says, I believe.

Unfortunately, I feel like either George or Butler would completely fall apart after 1-2 years of joining us.

If we go the big $50 mil contract route those guys would require, we’d only have $15 mil left assuming we terminate Reed’s deal.

I have a weird feeling Ingram would be bad here. We’d be mad he doesn’t shoot enough 3s, etc. I think he would come off as passive to this fan base.
2023-2024 Philadelphia 76ers:

Lowry/Payne/Downtin
Maxey/Melton/Hield
Oubre/Batum/Council
Harris/Covington/Martin
Embiid/Reed/Bamba

I think it's somewhere in the mid-60s if they get rid of Reed once you factor in their pick and minimum salary cap holds.


Siakam + Butler is abysmal spacing. No shot Indiana is letting Siakam walk after the trade for him.

Throw the bag at Mikal/Lauri (4/5 1sts) and sign one of Lebron/PG/Jimmy to the max.

Resign Lowry, Batum, Oubre, Payne

Ideally
Maxey Melton Jimmy Lauri Embiid
Lowry Payne Oubre Batum Drummond

Absolutely deadly roster

Unless your max free agent is taking less than the max, you don't have enough cap room to make that happen (and Jimmy isn't a FA...)

We saw league minimum Kelly Oubre, who was really helpful. That's not who he's been his whole career...buyer beware.

Hoping we can sign him around $8m per. Expecting it will take closer to $12m per.

For me, Bruce Brown would be one of my priorities.
The other would be to go all in for Markkanen or Mikal Bridges, with the multiple picks we have.
Another much needed addition would be to have a decent 5 to rest Embiid.

That would be my plan. Let's see where Morey goes. It scares me.

I don't think the Sixers should bring anyone back. Oubre is not good. Isn't a good shooter, has some athleticism, but you can do a lot better. Definitely don't bring back Lowry. He's washed. A whole new roster next season except Maxey and Embiid.

Brandon Ingram and Jimmy Butler are two “names to watch” for the Sixers during the offseason, Windhorst said on Get Up.

“There’s gonna be a number of names that are gonna come up, but I’m going to give you two … The first name to watch is Jimmy Butler … Another player to watch [is] Brandon Ingram.”
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Ingram is Tobi in guard form. He didn’t do anything in the playoffs and has trouble staying healthy

I feel good about where this team is right now.

They've got their star duo in place. They've got a good coach and GM in place. They've got max cap space. They've got a pick in the teens.

Will they ever reach the mountain top? I don't know. But they're in a spot where's it's possible. They don't seem doomed. I'll take that.

Of course, you're welcome to get fooled again.

This is the first day after elimination I actually feel like the team is on an upwards trajectory. The last 5 years I felt like we were at some paper mountain top staring down the road at an underwhelming offseason met with lateral changes.

Lol not fooled, just hopeful. Otherwise what’s the point of being a fan.

He’ll still probably end up signing PG13 to a $200MM contract where we go from Tobi to a 40 year old PF with maybe one decent year left in him.

If he somehow shows restraint, I’d love it if we went for a younger forward. Honestly I may prefer Durant to PG at this point.

I fully expect it to happen, but going “star” hunting and leaving this team without depth and good role players is the worst thing Morey can do this off-season. I’m more than willing to live and die with Embiid and Maxey as long as they have the right pieces around them. Try to build a cohesive team that can grow together for once.
