We have two people on the roster who can bring the ball up at the level of an NBA point guard (KPJ and TyTy). We have zero people on the roster who can direct league average or better NBA offense. That's the whole deal this offseason. How do we use our cap space and other assets to get that (+ a couple other things) so our young guys can develop in an environment that's functional at a competitive level? KPJ at PG, TyTy at PG, Sengun full-time offensive hub -- as of now, these are not options that are functional at a competitive NBA level.
Don't really want Harden back, but want Amen even less. No Harden means we will probably draft Amen Thompson now. Bummer!
I've been saying the Sixers have a whole lot more reasons than the Rockets to want Harden. Morey is not going to let the Rockets outbid them. Everybody is just posturing.
Maybe he meant we all needed a break (lots of breaks) from all this madness about Harden going back to Houston.
I'll believe this whole saga is over when Harden signs a contract and not a minute before. I have whiplash from all this bullsh*t.
In recent days, the Sixers in conversations with agents and players, have indicated they have some optimism that they’re going to get the James Harden contract settled and they’re gonna keep him. I don’t want to say it’s a done deal yet. I do expect him to opt out of his contract and I do expect him to potentially listen to offers. It seems like Philly is making plans like Harden will be in the loop. Today is only June 20th so let’s not go crazy. — Windhorst
I just listened to this. FWIW The next line of the podcast - "I don't know what the hell's going to happen we'll see - who the hell knows"
Rockets clearly didn't pony up the full max like everybody in the media was anxiously waiting to clown them for doing.
Maybe this was a play by Stone and Fertitta to get Philly to max out their cap space on a withering asset to stick it to Morey. That's just mean. . .
Aren't journalists supposed to review what the write considering that's EVERYTHING THEY DO??? Not trying to not pick but between all the lies and bs they peddle and now they can't spell basic words correctly? These journalists today are a disaster.
