EMERGENCY POD: Paul George opts out of contract, Sixers now in play

[@generalb4005]

Markannen gives you scoring, rebounds and youth. Am I missing something?

[@calbundy267]

Why is Pg so important I don’t get it

[@aarohazel]

Morey should give PG a deadline for an answer or else Sixers move to plan B to mitigate getting screwed over by PG/Clippers.

[@bigbertha8]

Don't do it, Sixers. He isn't worth it. It's gonna screw us in the long run and he isn't gonna get us over the hump.

[@sheilaatif6906]

Super fact's

[@matthewpaul8670]

I sort of agree with this, but I also think they don’t have time to punt anymore with Embiid in his 30’s. Gotta fight with the men we have.

He's the dream, but I doubt the sixers end up being able to be the highest bidder

[@11credible]

They will get outbid. Teams have more picks and young players than us. All we can offer is a bunch of picks. Utah already has that. The thunder can offer much more intriguing 1sts than we have and a player like Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams or others. That package out paces ours. Golden state, Portland, and San Antonio could all make similar offers as well

[@vinnyvoorheez1298]

I SPEAK FOR ALL SIXERS FANS WHEN I SAY..WE DONT WANT HIM!!

[@Dbf1339]

I honestly hope Philly misses this dude wants too much at 34 and doesn’t do anything in playoffs. Easy to have big name obsession like Morey does. Reality is it’s younger guys putting up the same for less.

[@charleshamilton4529]

What do you all think KCP is. He is a role player that benefited from play with the Joker. If you give him 25 we will get what 10pts a game. We need to think differently people.

[@faithfuls3rvant]

He’s a really good role player and a solid defender. Played great during the Lakers Championship run as well. Only makes your team better

Laurie Marketin would be a good pick also Caleb Martin and Paul George but i dont think he wants to go to philly if they bring back most of the players they had last year with the 1st mentioned they eould be amazing Thery werent bad last year considering embid was out and injured they needed more time to jell. You dont in one month most of those players signed in late February give them 3 minths more they would have been in the eastern finals.

Paul George best option is Orlando 😂

[@TheFilmSpace1]

That’s sad. That’s for a two year run and if Sixers don’t win it then they gotta rebuild. PG isn’t leaving LA

[@urbanradionation]

Danny Ainge is never going to deal with the Sixers. Lauri is never getting traded to the Sixers. Never. NEVER 😂

Danny Ange believes the Sixers are a good trading partner they want Paul (reed) they tried to sign him last year. They can work something out and I believe they will LM is in play.

How would have a trade even worked with the clippers and warriors with both teams being at 2nd apron

[@PhillMcgroins]

PG does absolutely nothing for me

[@DOGroove]

Better to create a team with injury concerns that can win it all when healthy than create a team that is always healthy that has no chance to win.

[@rickm3739]

Time for Kyle to pour more cold water on everybody

[@gond1985]

Im not convinced offering PG 4Y @ 211m is better than a portfolio of players like DeRozan for 3Y 100/110m, Miles Bridges 2Y @ 30m/40m, Kelly Oubre 3Y 30m which leaves some flexibility to trade for a bigger difference maker when the situation arises

Signing pg and still having your assets is insanely good

[@joelashadali]

Me either. Maybe 2 years and overpay him. I'm not loving Ingram either. I'm good with Lauri though.

[@stax5ave380]

I'm loving ingram as a third option ..I've always felt like he don't need the spotlight

[@kkent4174]

Yeah okay who the hell else you gonna get? Avg 40percent from 3. 45percent catch and shoot from 3 #1 in NBA. Mfkers be delusional. You want Derozan? Who else!!?!!!???

[@WawaMarvel]

It’s tough decision and tough to figure out for the Gm. They have a plan, and ideas. So does everyone else involved. We just have to wait. No decision will be perfect. There’s no right answer. Regardless, our team will be in the top 4 in the East as long as no one gets hurt.

[@joedowning433]

do not do this sixers!

[@anpuminds7542]

PG is definitely not going to Orlando.

[@deebee3140]

I prefer brandon ingram

[@Travelling_wm]

If you sign PG13, the draft picks you have aren’t useful. You have no cap space really anyway. What like 15M left? That won’t change next year, they won’t be able to make a trade for the next 4 years anyway for anyone making double digits money.

[@lutherjones503]

I think LA doesn't think another team will beat their offer. That's why they did not give him the max. WILL.SIXERS PUT UP THE CASH IS THE QUESTION. if they do I think PG13 is a Sixer

[@ericdogan8899]

Ok let’s stop acting like PG doesn’t do anything in the playoffs. This year he averaged 21, 7 and 4. Last year he averaged 27, 9 and 5. These are playoff stats. I think we are starting to just talk narrative and not reality now

[@ozzee5094]

Funny how you ignore his paltry efficiency smh casual

[@urbanradionation]

PG and DeRozan. LA guys. The only way PG comes east is with a partner. Sixers will be competitive with these two. The best Sixers can do. Still not a championship team.

[@phillyrich3249]

Nobody but you Talking Heads want him in Philadelphia. The guy is a loser. He’s inconsistent healthwise and he doesn’t care about winning. I could care less where he goes. Stay away from Philadelphia the fans we don’t want Paul George at all.

[@csax42]

celtics and knicks are so stacked we have to go for best player available ik what you mean but what else we supposed to do

[@amonone399]

That will be a stupid move by Daryl Morley to sign Paul George, who never won anything and is just chasing his last big bag. I hope he goes to Golden state. All Daryl Morley does is name chase, it's never what's the best fit for the sixers.

[@Westphillychip]

Can you see a scenario where the SIXERS land George and Lauri Markkanen?

[@StreetsAintNoMyth5]

Let him walk. He was healthy most the year and was garbage

Love the fit. Will be EXTREMELY hard to build a roster if he’s starting at 50M. If he can sign a 4 year deal and start at like 40M and escalate from there they can at least build out a roster. If it’s Jo, Maxey, PG13 and min contracts and one room exception player, I don’t see them beating the Celtics.

[@Tree79799]

Why are people hype over PG? What have the Clippers won with him? He’s going to be 34. He’s a good player but he’s not durable at all. Mikal Bridges has never missed a game in his career. I think it’s a bit crazy he opted out in LA to begin with

[@Raemarierichar]

Mikal bridges just got traded to the knicks not sure if you heard lol

[@BGale47]

No one is happy with top 4 in the east. 0.0 people

[@WawaMarvel]

@@BGale47 so you have to finish number one? To be successful or win it all? Manage your expectations. The Celtics and Knicks are ahead. Making a team right now to be number 1 in the East isn’t a realistic goal. They already have team chemistry that the 6ers have to build over months. So being in the top 4 is the goal as the other 3 teams are established. We finish 4 or higher, there should be no complaints. But I sure you one of those guys who doesn’t want any of the realistic players we could get , complaining but have no realistic players to target. MANAGE expectations. Top 4 . Get into the playoffs as good as from there.
