I think its overstated because they don't have to get Tucker and they may be able to do more meaningful things with Green's deal, their pick and Thybulle. They were after Eric Gordon as well. If they found something that works for Korkmaz, Thybulle, and a pick that gives them good value they do it and try to get Tucker... but who says PJ even wants to go there? If Miami offers a similar deal why would he trade Miami for Philly?
I think they are finally trying to get off the treadmill by doing an actual rebuild.
It's not an overnight fix. This roster needs perimeter defense. The Conley money is going to be almost impossible to move this year. Next offseason he's gone and most likely so will be Bogey.
I actually think Conley could be a better asset if moved in season. If he plays well it will wash away some of his playoff stink.
i'm high on thybulle despite his playoff run, so i think even then it's a good deal. Bojan is expiring, they *have* to get an asset for him.
Tucker was always going to opt out though. When the stuff comes out who benefits from leaking it? Tucker's camp may have said "Morey will give us 3/30M" in order for Miami to tack and extra year on his deal. It really doesn't benefit Philly to have that come out. Morey has been shopping his pick and thybulle to everyone but that just his MO.
