Yeah I don’t see it happening with the Morey situation, but it would be hilarious, and would fix our minutes when Maxey is out. He would only have to play 20 minutes a night, and could probably win 6MOTY with I’m guessing but something like 14/4/6 stats off the bench.

Yeah it might be crazy to think about and 95% not likely, but I think if and when Harden realizes he isn’t getting close to a max next year, if he wants to sniff a contending team, we are the only contending team with cap space and we need a 6th man ball handler. Even though I don’t trust Harden any more as a guy to run a contending starting lineup, I think he would still ball out running the bench on 20mpg for the right price. Could be a 6MOTY contender for sure.

Anyone who watches the games and doesn’t think like at least 50% of the offensive upgrade is because of Nurse is crazy. You could argue if we still had Harden he wouldn’t have fit into Nurse’s new system, but I guarantee you if we still had Doc we would still have a stagnant offense, Harden or no Harden.

Tbh we have a lot of cap space next year since tobi is expiring lol. I don’t think we jump on the harden rodeo again, nor does he want to jump on the Morey train but all of our players still really liked him and sang his praises and still do really. If a contender can figure out a way to get Harden on a high value contract and run the bench unit, he would probably flourish. He’s no longer good enough to be “the guy” in a starting lineup, but would probably kill it as a 6th man if he could buy into that role.

We have the number one net rating in the league after the game, and our record is tied for 2nd best in the east, 3rd best in the league. But more-so than our good wins like this one this year, we haven’t had any bad losses, which give me more hopes for our playoff hopes than even these wins do.

By this time last year, we had at least 3 ugly disgusting losses to non-playoff teams, some by double digits.

We haven’t lost to a bad team at all this year, and the only game we weren’t really competitive in was the Minnesota game where we were on a b2b and Embiid was not playing, and even then it wasn’t even a 15 point loss there were times in the game we made it close.

We almost traded Ben Simmons AND Maxey for Harden a year earlier… thank god we didn’t we’d be sunk. Thanks Nets

Here’s an actual bold take: Oubre is good

Maxey is good
