Philadelphia 76ers

The community seems to be dead, but I can't miss the chance to post the biggest Sixers news of the season so far...

The Harden saga is over for Philadelphia, which trades him to the Clippers and can now fully focus on this season.

---

James Harden’s time with Daryl Morey in Philadelphia is over. As first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the 76ers agreed to trade Harden to the LA Clippers early Tuesday morning. The deal was officially announced on Wednesday.

Sixers receive:

• Nicolas Batum

• Marcus Morris

• Robert Covington

• KJ Martin

• Multiple draft picks

Clippers receive:

• James Harden

• P.J. Tucker

• Filip Petrusev

Everyone is focused on James's madness. However, with James's trade stock dropping to Zero and him not being on the team mentally or physically next year, the 2024 season is already over. Joel will be 30 with a poor team around him. The 76ers need to hit reset regardless of how the James situation ends. Three young players and WAS 2024 first-round pick is respectable. They can probably get more from another team, but this would do right by Joel, and you can pick up extra picks for the young core shipping off TB and PJ.

Anybody else want to see all five on the court together and just have them make a giant wall around the paint? No? Alright, me neither then.

So what the fuck is Morey doing?

I'm new here but hoping to get some discussion started.

I really, really hope Nurse is looking to play Reed to the 4, which is his natural position. Looking long term at the roster we have now, he and Maxey are the only bright spots this team has.

This is the first signing for the Sixers this trade period. Shake Milton has left for Minnesota and Georges Niang is now a Cavalier.

Not the most exciting draft night for the Sixers

Rico Hines is joining the 76ers as an assistant on Nick Nurse's coaching staff, sources tell ESPN. Hines had been a part of Nurse's staff with the Raptors. Hines is a former player development coach who has worked his way to a front-of-the-bench assistant.
