2617466, as things stand right now the Bulls and Sixers will have the most...
Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Jul-12-17 03:26 PM
cap space, can somebody pull of a Riley and get 3?
2617473, Sixers are going to have to do something with Embiid
Posted by Ryan M, Wed Jul-12-17 04:38 PM
So...nah
2617474, so you think they'll pass up some of the names on the top of that list...
Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Jul-12-17 04:39 PM
for Embiid's broke ass? lol
2617477, ....I think some of the names on that list will pass on them.

And they dont have as much space as you think.

Embiid, Fultz, Simmons will probably be around 34 right there, plus Bayless at 8, and Saric/Anderson/McConnell/Luwawu Cabarrot/Furkan adding anotehr 20 - that's 61 mil right there even if they renounce Okafor.
2617479, I'm talking about a "big 3" team up...

I get what you're saying, I just don't see it happening there. They seem to be all in on their young guys. Not to say they'd pass on Bron, etc but I just don't see it happening.
2617493, So if Bron, KD, and PG say "we wanna play together make it happen"...

they'll say "Nah we good with Embiid, Simmons & Fultz!"

FOH, lol
2617498, You're right. This is very likely to happen, and in Philly at that.
Posted by Ryan M, Wed Jul-12-17 11:17 PM
2617557, don't try to spin it I never said it was likely but it that was the scenario...
Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Jul-13-17 12:45 PM
the reasons you offered definitely wouldn't be a roadblock lol

>KD

He'll opt out again, and then re-sign with the Warriors for another two year deal with a player option after the first year. That sets things up for him to sign a Supermax with the Warriors in 2019.

>Bron

I'm still having a very hard time believing he that he leaves the East. I could be very wrong, but I don't see why he'd want to go West instead of stick around with only one or possibly two other in-conference contenders. Most I could see is him going back to Miami or something.

>Russ

Probably leaves.

>PG

Leaves.

>CP3

TBD. If Houston under-performs (like a 5-8 seed), he's certainly gone.

>Melo

No matter what happens, he's still got another year on his contract after this one, right?

>IT4

If the Celtics had drafted Fultz, I'd say he was gone. Now I think they work out something to get him to stay.

>Cuz

Gone.

>DJ

Gone.

>Softridge

Gone.
2617486, Lebron to Philly confirmed

Lebron would make for a splendid 6th man addition since I'm not sure he can crack our starting lineup. His veteran presence would be kinda good too I suppose.
2617536, Per Simmons: Wall, Boogie, George and Bron to Lakers....

2617565, I think this was his Glen Beck moment.
Posted by Cold Truth, Thu Jul-13-17 01:07 PM
2617561, Bron going to the Lakers to get one last ring before he exits his prime.
