Trade & FA 2023-24: 76ers Believe They Have A Shot at PG13

[Tyler]

I just had a chat box pop up on this site???

Some guy is saying we’re trading THJ for Grant Williams. No idea if true or trolling.

It's VintagePeja.

[Chicagojk]

Ingles to Orlando? That is sort of weird. Orlando is a team that probably needs to make a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 type of trade. Odd roster. Talented but odd.

[SleepingHero]

It's VintagePeja.

In other words, the king of trolls.

I have succumbed to his talent of creating the most believable drivel on more than one occasion.

What teams are you guys considering switching to if the next hour is a fail?

I've been a Mavs fan since the 80's, through the long period when they had the worst record in all of professional sports. I'm not going anywhere.

In a turn of events, Phoenix is planning to pull the qualifying offer for center Jock Landale, league sources told
@YahooSports, which would make Landale a free agent.

---

Landale would become an *unrestricted* free agent. Sounds like Phoenix is moving forward with the idea of targeting centers on the veteran's minimum to backup Deandre Ayton, as their current frontcourt plan for 2023-24.

I’m with ya brother! Although, the next 24-72 hours is gonna shape this franchise for the next 5-10 years. We had a good start last week. Just need a few more competent moves! You have to think that Lindsey had at least some impact on the activity on draft night.

An increasingly likely scenario for Cleveland's business in free agency, league sources say, is signing Georges Niang away from Philadelphia along with completing the signing (or sign-and-trade) for Max Strus.

Another potential free agency curveball: There's been a good amount of chatter circulating today about a potential return to Washington for unrestricted free agent Kyle Kuzma.
Ditto for the prospect of Max Strus' increasingly expected free agent move from Miami to Cleveland.

All signs have pointed to a new Draymond Green deal in Golden State since my enclosed story Monday and league sources now project Green to land a contract in the four-year, $100 million range from the Warriors once free agency commences.

Probably another sport, lol. 
Though, I actually liked Denver since the bubble as a 2nd team to root for tbh. They built the team in an admirable way and are fun to watch. 
Having a flexible second team to root for is a healthy thing tbh. Since you can't change your team.

Landale would be a good fit here.  Very active on defense.  Good finisher on offense.  Much better rebounder than Powell.  I think he and Powell would make a solid platoon at center.  

I realize we'd be carrying five centers on the roster but Holmes and McGee are just bad contracts we're burdened with-  not rotation players.

I think Josh Okogie would also be a good player to target from the Suns.  Elite defensive wing and pretty good rebounder.  He is a poor shooter but improved this season while playing on a good team.  He's only 24 and Phoenix can't pay more than the minimum.

We'll see
Nothing he's dropped since the Harden news has happened. Supposedly there was going to be a big trade late yesterday. So does that mean it hasn't been announced or was he just throwing crap at the wall?

[dirkfansince1998]

Will teams/agents be smart enough to wait a couple of minutes/hours before they announce stuff?

[SleepingHero]

T minus 6 minutes before the Mavs disappoint me again.

I am ready to be hurt...again.

Heard the same as the esteemed
@MontePooleNBCS reported below: Dario Saric very likely to land with the Warriors as well.

Tell Kyrie to take the deal now or we give it to Landale
