We HAVE to make a trade.

Here's another great stat. We are .8% from being the worst 3 point shooting team in the NBA while taking 31 attempts per game lmao.... don't forget, we are 3rd in the NBA at being wide open when we take shots. There's no fixing that on a coach level. It's the players.
 
I would honestly take on Fultz. He wouldn't be under pressure here and is only 20 years old. He could bomb and be nothing, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking that keeping the status quo is going to get us anywhere.

This. It's obvious the talent is there, and I trust our player development coaching. Seems like a no-brainer to me if Philly really wants to unload him.

Mirotic :(

BTW I love Lindsey and he deserves some buffer zone, wouldn't dream of firing him or anything. And hey, I was definitely wrong about looking into Jabari Parker. But Lindsey was wrong on Bjelicia and Mirotic. I don't think there is much argument to be made there.

We can't say "No one around here suggested anything different" Many, many people did.

It's 20 games in. It's way too early to say he was wrong on anything.

Let's see what happens. Let's see what they do with Favors expiring contract. These fake trades we want for Beal and Porter would be much harder without his salary. Let's see what happens in free agency. If we sign Bjelica, we have less cap-room for next off-season.
 
@Thee jazz fan

Hey buddy, I understand you are upset. We all are. Like you said in your rant, we do make trades. Almost all of those trades come from very credible sources prior to happening. For example, we knew that our FO loved Crowder for years. Everyone knew Rubio was being made available by Minnesota. We knew our FO was very impressed with Mitchell. Etc, etc.

In this dark time early in the season, I would rather take the time to debate league trade chatter than sit around and moan.

Back to subject - I'm loving the idea of Fultz more and more. I have more faith in rehabbing his career than I do getting some major free agent this summer.

Assuming we trade an expiring contract for Fultz, what would that do to our cap situation this offseason?

The Salary Cap for 2019-20 will be $109 million (up $7 million from this year). The luxury tax will be $134 million (up $8 million from this year). https://sports.yahoo.com/report-nba-sets-salary-cap-2019-20-2020-21-seasons-020033583.html

For 2019-20, we have the following contracts:
Gobert $25
Favors $16.9 (team option)
Ingles $12
FULTZ $9.75
Exum $9.6
Crowder $7.8
Mitchell $3.6
Allen $2.5
Bradley $2
Neto $2 (team option)
Niang $1.6 (team option)
O'Neale $1.6 (team option)
Draft pick cap hold $2
TOTAL: $97 million (if we picked up all team options)

Rubio $22.5 cap hold
Burks $17.3 cap hold
Thabo $6.8 cap hold
Udoh $4.4 cap hold

The most cap space we could possibly have available is $75 million if we sent all the team option guys packing and renounced all 4 unrestricted free agents.

So if we let everybody go, renounced all the free agents, we could still target Middleton, Tobias Harris, whoever with a max contract. These guys would be under contract:
Gobert, Ingles, Fultz, Exum, Crowder, Mitchell, Allen, Bradley. We could keep Niang and O'Neale and still have over $30 million.

Really, this. Unless they want expiring contracts like favors and Burks, what's appealing about anyone besides don and rudy?

I think joe would be very appealing to a lot of teams, not saying they should trade him but I definitely think there would be teams interested.

I agree. Not only does he fit in pretty much any system, but he also has a friendly, declining contract. We should not let him go for many, many reasons.
