From mike Scotto. Supposedly willing to weaken protections if they take back asik.

Supposedly we reached out to Magic for Vucevic, but never got close.

The part about Jrue worries me. If we trade Jrue, we are in full tank mode, and that is good, but I don't want Demps/Loomis anywhere near the rebuild.

I'm trying really hard not to melt right now.
- We are about to give up another first rounder for another center that doesn't fit our coach or our system.
- We are doubling down on getting that sacrificial 8 seed and all but guaranteeing losing out on the top heavy star studded draft.
- We have no clear guarantees of Jrue's return to the point the Sixers have equal confidence in signing him. So we are just rolling the dice on Jrue since it seems we don't want to include him.

I would trade everyone not named Buddy or AD. Trade all these bitches and acquire as many assets as possible to build around those two. What choice do we really have? There is not one single piece that we can realistically add that will get us anywhere near the top 4.

at least its the 2018 pick, right now our only long term guys are AD, Asik, and Ajinca. 2 of which are borderline useless. We swap one of those out with Okafor.

I don't think he will be some kind of savior. we're still inconsistent at guard/SF

yup, which worries me. we could realistically net a 1st rounder or another quality guard for him...

If that were true they wouldn't be trying to trade for him. I really think Holiday is the Pels to lose, the question is, if Philly throws a full max at him, $31 million, do the Pels match? $20-$25 million is already iffy territory, if you go full max then you do have to start wondering if Rubio + trade assets for Jrue + $17 million in salary difference between Rubio/Holiday is better than keeping Holiday at all costs. Or rather paying him that much makes will make Holiday the new Asik just like Asik replaced Gordon.
As much cap space as Philly has would they really throw the max at Holiday?

Gentry is probably gone anyway. So the being a bad fit its not that concerning to me.

Plan is to do a trade like this, then stretch or dump the other center this summer. Then, trade the 2017 pick for another young vet (think Butler if they get top 2 pick, guys like Fournier and Hezonja if pick is 6-10), and re-sign Jrue
They think this would give them a good team as early as next year and they would still be young enough to continue to grow in future

I can get down with this if it's a 2018 pick and we are getting rid of either Asik or Ajinca.
I think you trade that pick for Okafor straight up all day.
AD with Okafor, Buddy, and another high profile rookie next year. That has the makings of something.

Stretch and Butler are about the only words you wrote that I approve of.
Posted on 2/6/17 at 5:16 pm to Crewz
I wouldn't trade a top 5 pick for anything less than a Butler-type talent.

On the flip side you can end up trading your 2018 pick for Okafor, then not get anything of value for that 2017 draft pick because its later then you wanted and Jrue walks.
Leaving the team with a lineup of: Frazier, Hield, Hill, Davis, Okafor, and no 2018 draft pick.
If that is the plan, this is a disgusting hail mary that Benson and Loomis need to pull a David Stern on.

Realgm says the trade is Jrue and a first for Okafor not Alexis.
