    I'm happy to send them KPJ and Daishen Nix.

    Lol.

    Doc needs to find a way to load manage his minutes. Considering the last couple of seasons he's had hamstring issues, I would tread very carefully.

    It’s really up to Morey at this point to get another playmaker.I would use Thybulle as a trade chip. Thybulle despite his shooting woes is still a valuable commodity with his defensive versatility .

    Everyone seems to think that of Thybulle, but I don't see any team trying to land him. Sixers have been trying to unload him for more than a year now.

    Here is my trade. We get @Os Trigonum favorite back, Kelly Olynyk, and get rid of unhappy Gordo. We get shitty Thybulle which I don't much care for. Send the picks Utah's way for absorbing the Harris contract. Mike Conley would give them a legit PG.

    Run small ball with only Embiid at center with Tucker/Gordo/Harden/Maxey/Embiid and use Conley as a sixth man.

    Harden is playing a lot of minutes, but the minutes aren’t nearly as taxing as they used to be

    in Houston, 37 minutes of game time would be 20+ shots and 10+ free throws with at least 35% usage

    in Philly, it’s around 15 shots and 6-7 free throws with 25% usage…he just chills for large stretches of games just facilitating and dumping the ball off to Embiid

    Embiid isn't built to be a long-term small ball center, and given his injury history and importance to the team, it doesn't make much sense for Philly to even consider it.

    His A/TO ratio seems to have improved a lot, no? I guess that means a lot of his turnovers happened on drives or fancy isos? I thought most of his TOs (with us) used to happen in just making bad or ill-advised passes.

    yeah, the majority of them came from those bad or ill-advised passes

    he’s passing a lot more than he did in Houston while also reducing his bad pass turnovers per game

    16-17 Harden - 65 passes per game, 3.6 bad pass turnovers per game

    17-18 Harden - 51 passes per game, 2.6 bad pass turnovers

    18-19 Harden - 50 passes per game, 2.7 bad pass turnovers

    Harden this year - 69 passes per game, 2.1 bad pass turnovers

    That's impressive, to me at least. Speaks to a cerebral player, whatever his faults or shortcomings. Just really does love the game and brings a lot to the daily table.

    That's a terrible trade, Tobias is important to that team and brings them much needed size.

    I like both those guys on the Sixers, but they are a lateral move at best.

    Harden and his fans bark is always the loudest in the regular season. Then they fukc right off by the time the 2nd round rolls around. It’s the same shiit every year. But Y’all mfers still love a bum unconditionally and for that I commend you.

    22 points 12 assists 7 boards on 48 percent shooting and 40 percent 3pt in the last 20 games . The 76ers are 17-3 in that span. Has the most triple doubles of any player in the eastern conference
