    Eric Gordon are still active, per a league source. Matisse Thybulle has been mentioned in the talks....

    Michael K-B: "Trade talks between the 76ers and Rockets revolving around Eric Gordon are still active, per a league source. Matisse Thybulle has been mentioned in the talks, but a third team might be needed to facilitate a deal."

    Why don't we want Thybulle?

    I've seen this exact report 6 times since draft night

    Just do it already you fruit cakes


    Will be an RFA next year, can't shoot, is already 25, only 6'5, we have a roster crunch. Between Tate KJ and Eason it makes sense to prefer a 1st despite him being a steller defender.

    The 76ers have to be willing to increase their offer now.

    Especially with Durant wanting to leave the Nets and potentially going to a team in the Western conference.

    No to Thybulle. 0 to very little improvement since he entered league.

    Thybulle is anti-vax. He’d fit right in with the Texas rednecks!

    Why?!! Tate can do way more on offense and can defend more positions

    Thybulle is elite defensively…Tate is not

    neither can shoot, but Thybulle at least doesn’t try to do too much offensively

    This has been allegedly ongoing for a while now. Not exactly breaking news.

    The only thing wrong with Tate is that he thought he was the first option. Now that he got paid maybe he will settle into his role. Thybulle cant do much but play defense. They hyped him up for him to be unplayable in the playoffs.

    not that the rockets are playing in the playoffs any time soon.

    I rather we get a first round pick. We have too many players as is.

    Looking at his stats, coupled with his performance in playoff (lack off). Thybulle for Eric Gordon isn't worth, but that's just me

    Tate would be unplayable in the playoffs too Shook…they won’t even bother to contest his jumper as he shoots bricks, and all those layups will get swatted into the 3rd row when teams are actually trying and giving full effort defensively

    I’m not even high on Thybulle like that tho, I just don’t think much of Tate

    watch Tate still continue to try to do too much

    heavily disagree that Tate is elite defensively

    Thybulle is 2x All-Defense…top 10 in steals, 15th in block percentage…I bet Tate will never even sniff an All-Defense team

    not like Tate gives u much on offense…half the time I wish he would stop trying to do too much on that end

    Morey thinks he's slick trying to get these two players separated.
