Brogdon to Sixers would make bringing back both Butler and Harris impossible, right?hmmm

Wow, thought Rubio to Pacers was a done deal.Whoa: Shams says Rubio to the Suns, 3/51
i think so, though seems academic now...Brogdon to Sixers would make bringing back both Butler and Harris impossible, right?

Indiana's Bojan Bogdanovic has agreed to a four-year, $73M deal with the Utah Jazz, league sources tells EPN.
Is that when a new owner buys the team? Until that happens no superstar with real options is going there.The Knicks are just bidding their time...until 2023
Yuck.Whoa: Shams says Rubio to the Suns, 3/51
What they’re doing is fine. If Kawhi leaves Toronto and Butler/Harris leave Philly there is a path for them to make the second round in the east. That is a monumental upgrade over where the franchise was. The thought that you either have to win 25 games or a title is silly. Pro sports isn’t that linear.Magic are going to try to win games 83-81. Amazing zig
I’d sign up for 15 wins at this pointWhat they’re doing is fine. If Kawhi leaves Toronto and Butler/Harris leave Philly there is a path for them to make the second round in the east.

I doubt Vooch nor Ross would have gotten that kinda cash in free agency. I could be wrong.What they’re doing is fine.

Orlando is in decent shape but the roster is really heavy in the frontcourt and in serious need of a young guard to get them set up. In theory that player could be Fultz, but more likely is a pick or trade to acquire one in a year.What they’re doing is fine.

Also, they have plenty of young talent that could develop and leap into a star. Bamba, the auburn kid whose name eludes me and possibly Isaac, at least defensively for him.
For the Suns Rubio >> Rose. The Suns have some young talent and adding a player that will always look to get them the rock in good positions to score is huge. Rose is a limited minute, high usage player. He also isn't the ideal player I'd want showing the young players how to take care of business off the court. Plus, Rubio is a good defensive player that will keep Booker and his energy focused on fillin' it up.Yuck.
I don't know how you pay Rubio more per year than Rose just got over 2. Rose was the far better player in 2018-19. To think they could have gotten Rose+Beverly for what they're going to pay Rubio is mind numbing.
Good thing Rubio will be useful off the ball when it's in the hands of Booker & Ayton 75% of the time.....
Vooch would’ve gotten paid. I don’t know about Ross but some mediocre guys are getting bags, so yea probably.I doubt Vooch nor Ross would have gotten that kinda cash in free agency. I could be wrong.
Orlando was in a tough spot imo. They had momentum and their two best scorers were up for FA. Either option wasn't exactly appetizing. I don't think this team competes until Fournier goes. He just isn't a good enough player to make the money he is making. I would have preferred they let both of them walk or keep flexibility for next summer. They didn't do that and now we are betting on this team to develop the young talent but oh we are keeping vets around to take minutes. Shrug. Either way wasn't going to be great.
Great addition for the Pacers. Indiana will love his game and the type of person he is. First class individual all the way. Only risk is his right foot. It was red flagged at the draft and contributed to his fall to the 2nd. He also hurt his left foot last year, so there is risk with that deal. On the court though he's an ideal fit next to Oladipo.Brogdon to the Pacers...ZING!
Decent commodities to the Bucks if they were not going to match. Those will be much needed by Milwaukee to add another player at some point. Suspect they'll now bring back George Hill to be that 3rd guard now.Pacers sending a first and two seconds to Milwaukee for Brogdon. Contract is 4 yrs 85MM.
They added TJ Warren from PHX at the draft.Pacers in: Brogdon, Lamb
Pacers out: Bogdanovic, Young, Collison
Am I missing someone? I don’t think they’re better.
yeah, i am digging that:Harris staying in Philly, 5/180
And then.yeah, i am digging that:
Woj: Tobias Harris, will re-sign a 5year deal with Philadelphia 76ers for $180million, according to his agent and father, Torrel Harris of Unique Sports Management, International.
Lol at "International."yeah, i am digging that:

yikes, just saw this. this is sad. Wondering what the Sixers were going to offer him. 2 years for 26 million doesn't make much sense. JJ always gave the impression he loved it in Philly, so wondering if Elton talked to him about how they might not be able to sign him. can't figure this one outoh JJ!
it really is crazy. don't understand why the sixers wouldn't match that, or even get very close, which i would have thought might have been enough.Redick is the big surprise. I thought he’d be back.

sign of good faith. doesn't actually go in until next year, but they did same thing with EmbiidWhy extending Ben Simmons NOW?
well, they are talking. they have to know what they are going to do with him in the long term to know how to move this offseason. they need to have more information from his camp I guess.Why extending Ben Simmons NOW?
With the FA signings now hitting it reinforced the single biggest take away from those 3 pods - the number of point guards available was lower than the number of teams with a need there. Which meant the market would be there to get the players below Kemba & Kyrie get paid. ...and they are. Rubio, Brogdan, and we wait on a few others like Rozier, etcDunk'd on podcast did their annual free agent predictions. I know @Long Ball Larry is a fan, but it is always a fun listen. Some interesting outcomes, Nets and Sixers would be happy if this is how it turns out. Knicks will be sad
To make sure he's here instead of bailing in another year or two.Why extending Ben Simmons NOW?
still early, but losing JJ will hurt. there were times last year when they had too many guy who needed the ball and wanted to shoot, but this is a strange one for JJ to make this move this fast. With Butler, who knows. as long as they don't lose him for nothing. Maybe they have a potential sign and trade on the table that would have effected JJSo the best 4 teams from the East last year are all likely worse next year?
