    Nah. I'd see if Morey would take a couple of second rounders and Bullock for KJ though, legit. One guy we lost in the Lopez debacle that I do actually want back, works great with Alpi, probably tightened his game up a bit and Morey's probably looking at a rebuild if he doesn't pull some voodoo **** about now.

    The bench scoring will take any help it can get. Bring back KJ!

    Imagine if before the season started someone said they’re going to give Alpi and Green exactly 3 games to prove themselves before deciding on whether to dump them or not. That would be hilarious.

    No. Because FVV, Jabari, Brooks, and Amen aren’t good enough to beat the Nuggets and with Embiid’s age, he’s not going to wait for Jabari and Amen to develop. They won’t be ready for 2-3 years AT BEST.

    But I did have this same thought this morning. I flushed it with everything else.

    Lol. Whats crazier, imagine if Alpi and Jalen looked the same way they have the past 2yrs and an offer for an MVP was on the table and Stone said "NO"!

    How stupid is that?

    Hey, difference of opinions. Im just tired of losing. This team reminds me of the Sacramento Kings. It took them almost 20yrs before they became relevant again..... I dont want to wait that long

    You chose the one that never won..... why not select Giannis or Jokic himself.....when they are older.

    I think there will be new stars rising like the Cam Thomases . Maxeys... we do not really know about yet.

    No. Let someone else have Embiid and all that goes with it.


    Need someone that can actually suit up and play 82+.

    So you think Cam Thomas is going to be a star? How do you feel about Jalen?

    I am only saying there will be new choices we would not have data of after 3-4 games........

    I believe there will be new players on the market.

    You just mentioned Cam Thomas and Maxey. Those two players happen to be guards, SG as a matter of fact. So that tells me, you don't think to highly of Jalen.

    But you wouldn't trade Jalen and Sengun to get a Top 10 player in the NBA right now?

    Dude, look, I am about that monk lyfe, you might not want to talk to me about trades.

    I am not really impatient when it comes to that, I might be angry after a loss or two but it really just fizzles out for me after half a day.

    I am just here to entertain and stir up some minor ish.

    My fave is Tari and tells you all about me and star players.

    You do realize that the other team has to say yes right? If you want a realistic trade, it would be something like amen, jabari, alpi, and 4-5 1sts. Morey isn't going to give away embiid for nothing, plenty of times would offer a real package

    Would Daryl? Putting Embid's wants aside, if you were Morey, and you were to build around Maxey, would you trade your reigning MVP (abeit flawed in areas), for the current Rockets young guys?

    Stupid trade suggestion should b in the rando trade thread.

    Imagine tanking 3 years just to blow it up on a player who can't carry his team solo and is often injured. The trade package would b quite hefty making it harder to improve the team.

    76ers were patient enough to wait for embiid to get as good as he did why don't we do the same with our players?

    We were winning for so long it funny folks can't even handle a few seasons of L.
    Hlm complains about green not being manly enough to b the ideal nba player. Panicking and wanting to abort the tank phrase just for a few wins bc he is sick of losing isn't a sign of a good fan.

    If Thompson, Smith, and Whitmore were about four years older and were living up to their potential, maybe.

    But as of now, they're too young to contend, and Embiid would be past his prime by the time they are ready.
