Miami 2021 1st >>> Utah 2019 1st

We could have given sooner 2nds as well.

Teams don’t like this years draft clips could have asked Philly for 2019 pick from them.

Our package would not have been close... that was a stupid good offer from philly.
 
We didn't get Tobias. Time to move on.

Would y'all trade Rubio, Thabo and 2nds for Gallo and Beverley?

The Clippers could then trade expirings, SGA and all the picks for AD and have space for a max player this summer.

Or just wait for the summer.

I consider Gallo if we got Conley... he has back issues... defense and attitude are a bit worrisome. If we are capped out why not though.

West will get like 4 firsts and AD for him... dudes a magician.

And Utah would be dumb to give all that for Harris.
He's in the East now. That will help.
He was in the East his entire career before this season. Now he's on a super team where he'll be the 4th banana in usage.

I think he'll be very good for them, but does he get the touches and numbers his heart desires? Klay Thompson works in this role because he's one of the GOATS working off ball.
 
I agree 100%. I think Butler might get traded. If not, he might not get kept. Harris fits Embiid, Simmons and Redick so well.

I don't know if they'll trade him but iirc the Sixers had the capacity to open up a max slot in the offseason even with Butler there, so if you switch Butler with Harris and just let Butler walk you still have plenty of cap to work with.
Wouldn't be shocked if they traded him, but yeah, I'd be surprised if they keep all 4 long term.

Wonder who is going to be the priority. Butler is a lot better than Harris, but Harris fits in a lot more easily than Butler
I've been of the opinion that they should just accept Butler as a sunk cost and let him go in the offseason even prior to this trade, after the trade it just cements it for me. I don't think signing a guy who often gets injured, has made headlines with every franchise he's been with for all the wrong reasons, and is a physical player who is going to be on the wrong side of 30 to the max deal he wants is a good idea if you can put a low maintenance guy like Harris beside Simmons and Embiid there instead. I don't think Butler is significantly better than Harris to justify giving up on the better fit/extra cap space you'd get with Simmons/Harris/Embiid/filler going forward.

It puts the ball back in Simmons' hands more often which is what you want (especially if he gets a jumper, dude will be special), it lets Embiid become the clear go to guy again offensively which is something I think the Sixers should want, and you got a 3rd star in Harris who can just do the things the other two can't and helps make them better. Surround that group with 3&D type players and that's a much more appealing option to me than any version of the team with Butler on it.

People are regarding the 2019 draft class as crap. I mean I don't know if 2020 is better, but if you can get a top 25 pick in a draft class like last years or a top 15 in a class like the one we drafted Kanter, you take the top 25.

There is still a chance that something goes awry on a Jimmy Butler team as well. Let that sit for a year and hope for dysfunction.
 
I don't know if it's funny or should be concerning, but we spent all yesterday talking Lakers and we will spend all morning talking Clippers.

If the Lakers don't get AD before the deadline, they will be in panic mode. Are the Clippers going to sell everything by tomorrow?

Crazy LA days...

Top 15 in the Kanter class gets you Kawhi, so not the best example to prove your point.
 
I'm just happy that there is a pathway for adding Conley and Gallo while keeping Favors, all the while the Lakers getting screwed. Couldn't ask for more.
