Can you please stop saying “IF Dante gets a jumper?” We get it. Simmons needs get his 3 point shot too. Another big IF.
Worst outside shooting backcourt in the league? Philly would be foolish to even ponder it.
You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Guys, if I understood we dont have a lot of spacecap for the free agency. But it's a soft cap so why could we don't go over the cap even if we have to pay extra taxes? The owner don't want over the cap or is it just not possible to go over the cap? I just try to understand and sorry for my englishenglish =)

There are only certain scenarios that allow you to go over the cap. Us picking up players this summer isn’t one of them.
No doubt right now worst outside shooting backcourt in the league. But not when Dante gets his jumper this season. I believe he will. They will be dynamic together they would dominate every guard line in the league.
You can spend money on any players up to the soft cap line. Once you are over that you cant spend money on players that are not on your team. You can spend any money you want on players on your team. Once you are over the hard cap your team pays extra money to the league.
Lol frank and Dante the same please lol. Dante is like 20 times faster lol. U come up with terrible takes lol. But anything to to get him to 76ers I suppose

I said they were similar which they are. Both are athletic freaks who haven't panned out quite yet in the NBA. Exum is more proven, probably faster, but more injury prone. Frank is more raw, still an athletic freak, but 3 years younger (yep, he's still only 20 years old). The main difference - $5 million in salary. Exum makes that much more than Frank.
Personally, I would rather have Exum the player than Frank the player. HOWEVER, with Conley, we have major issues to address with our depth. I would rather have Neto, Frank and $4+ million than just Exum. We gotta address our thin depth.

So, Tony's comments since the Conley trade make me think that we just keep Favors and Exum and just fill out the remaining roster holes with our second round picks/available exceptions/vet min deals. Who could we get dirt cheap? Who are the possible diamonds in the rough out there?

If we are committed to Exum and Favors, our FO needs to come out and say it. I know they have said they like Favors, but if they want to end the speculation, just pick up his option.
I don't know if they have come out with anything clear on Exum either. For all we know, Memphis might have said no to Exum.
The new GM said they will be aggressive in free agency. If Exum and Favors are definitely coming back, we can't be that aggressive.

Coming out and saying it helps them not at all. It would just appease fan curiosity and give players closure. The landscape changes fast. Even if they plan to keep both guys, you never know what could happen in the next two weeks the changes your plans. Keeping JFC happy isn’t at all on their priority list.

Its not about making this forum happy. Its about the fan base. It's about the locker room.
I guess I'm just tired of the whole Favors seesaw thing. Either lock him up for a while or move the heck on.

Why should they? If they get an offer that benefit's them they'll take it. They don't and shouldn't give a crap what a bunch of arm chair GM's think. Remember this you are 100% irrelevant to their decisions.

The Favors seesaw thing is created by the fans. The organization has done nothing to think they aren't behind him. They don't care about the fan base with regards to this particular feeling, and they shouldn't. The locker room is fine as of the last we heard.
