I don’t think it’s about Nurkic…it’s about Grant, but Portland isn’t taking Ayton and not moving Nurkic

Not sure why there's so much Nurkic buzz. People are forgetting he's one of the worst defensive centers there is. Unplayable even for the Blazers at one point. Hard pass on anyone who is the worst at something.

It's not about Nurkic. If you're dealing with Portland, Nurkic will have to be involved. Ideally, the Suns would involve a third team to take him on.

LOL, what Split said.

Filler to make the money work, positional overload etc. Grant is the target here.

But…how?

Endless pockets go a long ways. This must be like what it's like to root for the Lakers lol. Just pie in the sky off-season hopes every year. Wild.

Same way we’d get Kyrie. S&T for Ayton. Though this one would be trickier as you’d need a 3rd team. Philly would have zero interest in Ayton

James Harden dribbling the ball for 22 seconds of possession would not make Durant or Booker happy.

Maybe CP and Landry’s contract? Idk but either scenario why would the Sixers do it lol

Ayton for Embiid. Why not shoot for the moon?

I'm gonna enjoy how silly this off-season rumor mill is gonna be.

Philly has no leverage. If it’s let him walk to Houston for nothing or S&T him to Phoenix for something, they take the something.

It's weird that it seems like the rumor keeps trying to rebuild the old nets with Booker in place of either Kyrie or Harden.

With Ty Lue or Nurse as head coach too

Very good point.

What about this?

76ers: Rozier, Shamet

Hornets: Ayton

Suns Harden, Mark Williams

I'd love Williams, not crazy about Harden, rather have Rozier and I really dislike Rozier.

Yeah, I'm more than great without Harden. You don't pair Harden with Booker unless you want some serious Booker regression. Occasional ISOs and primarily a catch and shoot guy is not how I think Booker would want to be.

I think you’d just need to get Harden to be playmaker Harden. He’s a very high level playmaker. Let him be an 17/11 guy and just run tons of off-ball stuff for Book/KD.

Harden is a bigger threat than CP3 and is close as a playmaker.

Oh, man. The idea that we are going to spend money is so exciting. I haven't had that feeling since the Colangelo days and yet his pockets weren't this deep. Now the question is if we're going to spend on the appropriate things. AKA, not Isiah Thomas.
