On pace to beat last season.

Wrong, my records are strong across the board. And if Embiid , who is currently the favorite to win MVP, win the award, this may be my best season ever. You are wrong and afraid to post pick as usual, your only record in contests are trash.

It looks like Harden for Simmons is a deal that could be done.

There is no reason if that deal is done for Philadelphia to include Seth Curry in that deal, Maxey and Simmons with 1 or 2 first round picks is more than enough to get that deal done.

Morey is a fool if he includes Seth Curry in that deal, the 76ers need Curry too since Green and Korkmaz have been very inconsistent.

Maxey has had a solid year but he's not going to play with Harden because he's not an off the ball player or a great shooter, if Harden comes in Maxey doesn't fit.

Maxey should not be in that deal. The sixers are thin and Maxey could easily come off the bench if they wanted. I would give up Simmons, Green and a pick. Nothing more. Harden is gonna sign with Philly in off season anyway. Nets have no leverage here. Sixers can get harden on the cheap. Maxey, Thybulle should be off the table in this deal.

The 76ers can't sign Harden unless they deal Simmons. They wouldn't have the cap space.

No one wants Green and his 15 million a year contract. Maxey can't play with Harden, he's not a good enough shooter to be effective off the ball. The key is to keep Curry.

Harden is also 33, there's no reason to lose a full year with him if you can get him now, Maxey doesn't fit at all with Harden.

Maxey doesn’t have to play with harden. And players adjust their game all the time. Curry should be kept but harden will be in Philly in off season as they will move Simmons.

The problem with Philly right now is Doc Rivers. He blew the game last night again with his horrible rotations. You can’t have Drum, Kork, Niang, Thybulle, all on floor at same time. He is terrible. They were in perfect position to beat the suns and doc fuxcked it up. He sat all starters too long. They had off Monday and off today. Meanwhile suns are playing 3 in 4 nights. If he goes 9–10 deep in playoffs, sixers are finished. Doc is a huge problem.

Maxey thinks he's a starter, he wouldn't accept coming off the bench, and he's not a good enough shooter to play with Harden. Maxey is gone if they get Harde, the key is if they can keep Curry since Green and Korkmaz are struggling.

I doubt Maxey is in the deal. Everything I see is Maxey is off the table. He’s not a terrible shooter and is improving. You can’t trade a talent like him at this point. He can get to the rim and finish. The sixers have zero players besides him that can go rim to rim.

Its more important to keep Curry than Maxey, Maxey won't be on the floor late in playoff games anyways because he's not a good enough shooter, which is why he doesn't fit with Harden.

I expect the deal to be Maxey, Thybulle, Simmons, for Harden.

[thomorino]

PHiladelphia's best starting lineup with Harden would be Harden, Curry, Gree, Harris, Embiid.

You can't have a below average shooter like Maxey starting with Harden and Embiid and Maxey wouldn't be happy coming off the bench.

[thomorino]

Simmons for Harden works for both teams.

Simmons needs the paint open since he can't shoot, with Durant and Kyrie the spacing will open the floor. Embiid is at his best shooting midrange shots and on the block in the paint, Simmons fits with Brooklyn very well, and Philadelphia needs a playmaker since Maxey can score but he's not much of a playmaker. This deal works for both teams.

Kyrie is a shooting guard not a point guard too, Simmons can run the point and help Brooklyn defensively. I think this deal gets done, it makes sense on both sides.

Harden is 33 on an expiring contract, Philadelphia shouldn't have to include Maxey in the deal to get it done, but I don't see him fitting with Harden anyways.

That starting lineup would need 130 a game to win. Zero quickness and no defense. They couldn’t rotate fast enough to defend the arc or anything for that matter. Green can’t play. He is awful. Thybulle has to be in that lineup for him.

Harden is solid defensively now, they'd be fine. Offense wins not defense.

Not really. Playoff basketball is a bit tougher. Defense is important and you have to make a few stops. Thybulle can make it tough for any wing. That’s why they can’t trade him. You gotta be able to get some stops.

[Str8Mush4Life]

Zero chance in hell they keep Curry over Maxey.

And that is the safest bet you can ever make.

[vitterd]

Offense is more important than defense.

Nobody said it isn’t but you have to be able to make stops in playoffs as it becomes more of a possession and half court game. If you can’t matchup, you lose on isolation. It happens every year. It’s why Reddick and those guys killed the sixers in previous years. Can’t hide bad defenders in playoffs.

The 76ers lose to top teams like Phoenix b cause of their offense not their defense, role player can be replaced

They should never have lost to suns last night. The situation was perfect for Philly. That was a Doc Rivers loss….he’s had a bunch. Suns were ripe to lose that game. You have to be able to make stops in the playoffs….you can’t have only offense.

Philadelphia would be fine defensively, they need a point guard and they need more offense

Actually they need more size. But you can’t put a Harden, Curry, Toby, Embiid, Green lineup out there and make a deep run. Nobody to even contest Greek Freak or Durant. Thybulle has to be in that lineup come playoff time. Too many good wing players in East. Danny Green is useless.

[Str8Mush4Life]

You're really undervaluing Tyrese Maxey here and everything he has brought to the table for the team this year in Ben's absence and you're REALLY overvaluing Danny Green big time, who has contributed practically nothing all year long. Take it from someone who has watched every single Sixers game this year. Simmons AND Thybulle AND Maxey for Harden? Never in a million years are they giving up all of that young talent for a guy they can just snatch up in the summertime. If they do any kind of trade that doesn't land Harden then it will be to free up cap space to sign him after the season.

I don't think Danny Green is good at all, but he can shoot with Harden and Embiid both getting doubled. Maxey is not a good enough shooter play off the ball with Harden and Embiid, he wouldn't fit.

The trade is really just Simmons and Thybulle for Harden since Harden would take Maxey's position at the point and Maxey can't play with Harden and Embiid anyways.

The 76ers don't need size at all, they just need players to rebound better.

Totally agree brother. Why would they need size when they have a 7'4" center plugging up the middle?

Its a sign of a low IQ when you repeat the same things everyday and you are too dumb to know that you are doing that. Embiid is the MVP just as I said. Just stop.

LOL. Bankrupt yourself little guy. Your NBA records are atrocious and -350+ units and counting in 2.5 seasons, player props NFL over -150 units, abysmal across the board. Just post the fades and no more lip.

Harden and Durant are good friends and the Nets have clearly said they aren't trading Harden.

WRONG AGAIN. -5 more units.
