How do they make that contract work? Tobias?

I don’t see a Paul trade that works well. It’ll be interesting to see what happens though.

Yea, I read that when it first came out. I’m okay dealing Horford or Harris for him, but I’m not trying to attach significant assets (Thybulle and firsts) to them to add Chris Paul. I’m definitely not okay sending Simmons out in a trade where Paul is the centerpiece of our return.

I’d rather try to trade Horford for Hield (no idea why the Kings would do that, but it’s gotten traction). I’d also like to try to let Tobi and Al try to rehab some value and have Paul prove that he can stay healthy and swing a trade for him mid season.

Tobias would be easiest but assuming OKC doesn’t want that contract Horford + Richardson works $ wise too, with OKC then looking to flip Richardson either at deadline or again in offseason. That saves OKC 17M next offseason (Paul player option minus horford salary). If we have to add a decent pick so be it. I actually don’t think OKC would value Thybulle as they have a lot of athletic no offense defenders already. If OKC doesn’t want either Horford or Harris under any circumstance then no deal, but not a lot of teams who want to pay Paul 85M over next 2 years

I missed this earlier from Pompey, who has a pretty hilarious new Twitter av

Brand has 3 years on his contract, according to a source. Ned Cohen will also remain. Alex Rucker, who was demoted, is expected to be let go. He’ll be with Sixers thru transition, according to source. It could be 3 weeks, 3 months or more.


Is that it for the Colang-a-cronies? Cohen came from the NBA league office, right?

Yes, I remember Zach Lowe saying what a great hire Cohen was too.

Ned Cohen came from the league office but pretty sure he was hired for the Sixers by Colangelo.

I'm trying to remember the last time there was this much excitement over assistant coaches in any of the 4 sports in Philadelphia.
