I was also told that there were brief talks about bringing Holiday back to Philly at the 2019 trade deadline.


I want to believe


I remember them being linked to Horford. Would probably cost a bit to make up the difference at this point of course.


Yeah if this report is correct, it's nice to hear N.O. knows who we have to offer and are re-engaging

I googled Jrue's name and there's rumors about the TWolves, Nets and Warriors all trading for him. Probably just something going around.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Yeah. Guess I'll just take solace in not getting laughed off the phone.

If Jrue for Horford is a possibility, I will drive Al to NOLA and drive Jrue back if it will help get the deal done.

Kinda want to hire SVG based on his appearances on Lowe pod during playoffs. He’s smarter than who we’ll eventually hire. Cursed with a toxic personality

From Shams Charania's latest article on The Athletic:

76ers general manager Elton Brand has met with several top candidates for the franchise’s head coach opening and the team expects to bring a shortlist of candidates to the Philadelphia area within 10 days for the next round of interviews, sources said. Former Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni, ex-Thunder coach Billy Donovan and Clippers assistant Ty Lue are expected to be part of the next round of interviews and are strongly vying for and interested in the position, according to sources.

Philadelphia remains intent on building and adding talent under Brand to further strengthen the front office. Brand is well-respected by his peers across the NBA, agents and basketball industry executives. In addition to leading the head coaching search, Brand is having conversations with multiple NBA front-office personnel to bolster his staff. For the 76ers, Brand continues to be the leader of basketball operations.

Cool, i'm glad the future is in the hands of the man that just HAD to have Tobias Harris, then gave him the worst contract in the NBA, then followed that up with giving 100M to an over the hill Al Horford.

Adrian Griffin would be good too, especially since that was the name of the Invisible Man in the most recent movie. I’m sure our hack local sports media would have some nauseating fun with that.

Agreed, Brand doesn't have nearly the same power as Roseman, Klentak, or Fletcher. Brown had a huge amount of say over this roster.

I think I've preferred Lue since the beginning. I think he's somebody Embiid can look up to

I think that is an unfortunate choice of words for our 7'2" center and the 6'0" potential coach. If you want someone Joel can look up to, bring in Manute Bol or Sean Bradley... :)

you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?
