Why would the Sixers give up Thybulle for a clearly declining 35 year old Tucker? Not to mentioned Thybulle is arguably the better player.

He completely stopped running and just watched the play. Why didn't they trap him and force him to pass? The whole play made no sense. Not like their was even a pick.
This is the trade. But I'll take Furkan Korkmaz or better yet Paul Reed over Shake Milton. Enough with the 6'5 guards/wings.
PJ would be like damn its morey again. More peanut contracts for me but at least I am with my boy JH.
Shake Milton is a point guard. He's incredible. Not sure why he isn't more lauded. He's already better than everyone's favorite Shaq Harrison and he's younger. He also has a 7 foot wingspan.
Hahaha. Literally came in here to ask “Don’t you guys think the whole outlook of our team would look SO much better if we didn’t have EG on that horrid extension???”
Because his defense sucks. Give me Shaq Harrison or zhaire Smith, both would complement either Harden or Simmons.
Great question!!! PJ is the better corner 3ball shooter and he is still elite defensively. And PJ complements Danny Green better on defense. Green is a perimeter defender, like Thybulle, while PJ can defend perimeter but is near elite as post defender. PJ is the more versatile defender able to defend 1-5 while Green and Thybulle are limited to 1-3.
I'm not sure if I would take a significantly worse player over a few inches, especially considering Korkmaz is a Trex and Milton has a 7'0 wingspan. Milton is a very promising prospect we'd be so lucky to even have him.
I’ve said before Atlanta is my dark horse team for Trae young and Collins We know harden kool with Lil baby and loves the night life and Capela is there as well.
Lol, that is interesting because Trae Young was on the instagram post Harden had. Idk....if that makes Atlanta contenders, that team will be pretty gutted once the trade goes through.
Both are strictly rotation players on the Rockets. Give me the better passer/ballhandler AND +40% 3P shooter all day any day. And I am the pimp of wingspans but Milton's defensive effort is near Reggie Jackson level. While Milton is long (6'5 w/almost 7'1 wingspan) he is neither fast, explosive nor does have the best lateral agility. FYI - Reggie Jackson also has a 7'0 wingspan.
I have no clue where to put this. @ch44 @KellyUnchained @Nook @Codman @Deuce @The Cat @cyberx @BraBra @Eddie Cecco Is PJ going to be extended or traded?
I haven't heard anything in the last couple days but the Rockets have been trying to move Tucker in the right deal for awhile now. I don't know why they would extend Tucker now unless they believe it would help with Harden.
