[@Sean_Barnard1] Daryl Morey could spin a potential holdout with Harden into a motivated Holiday, for the cost of one of Philadelphia’s future picks and Harden’s $35.6 million salary
“Philadelphia has indeed registered its interest in Holiday with Portland, league sources told Yahoo Sports. And there would seem to be an obvious three-team structure that benefits Portland, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, where Holiday returns to the franchise that drafted him,… https://t.co/HcYrXKl2m8

Respectfully, why is it not done then?
If Morey does pull this off I think it puts us in a position where we have a shot.
PG – Holiday
SG – Maxey
SF – Oubre
PF – Harris
C – Embiid
Rotation: Reed, Melton, Tucker, Green, Beverley
That’s got scoring, defense, depth. That’s the best roster since Jimmy Buckets. It would also be the most poetic/karmic move possible to appease the old gods and new by brining in Jrue Holiday who kickstarted The Process many moons ago.
it would need to be a 3 team deal.
* team 1 with draft capital wants Harden and the ability to sign under bird
* Portland wants draft capital
* Sixers wants jrue
You’ll get nothing and like it
Dear Portland, let Harden have 6 months of amazing strip clubs and then send him to a desperate contender for more assets.
Harden should be embarrassed that his value sunk so low that we have to add a pick to this trade.
It wouldn’t be my first choice, but if they are determined to make a go of it with this roster and not re-build, acquiring Jrue for a first round pick would not be the worst thing in the world. He has 2 years left on his deal and if it goes terribly this year, you can always move the expiring deal for another draft pick or worst case just take the cap space in 2 years.
This move may redeem the offseason.
If they can turn Harden and a pick into Holiday, then sign me up. You want Springer? Done. Melton? I don’t want to go there, but done (you’ll need to kick a little something back though).
You want to expand things and see if we can work an extra young player from OKC or Chicago in the deal? We’ll do our best to make it happen.
But make no mistake…this is the opening that makes everything ok and Morey/Brand have to be (smartly) aggressive with it.
Daryl Morey isn’t going to do shit
