Barnes 76ers Bound?

[Goldrush25]

He should take every nickel if Phila is going to offer it to him. Enjoy the cheesesteaks and 20-win seasons.

He's got a ring and a big payday, I'd say he's a success regardless of how these next few years go for him.

[oh the horror]

Barnes is a nice player. Had a bad Finals, but Curry f.aggots going to use him as scapegoat for their unanimous MVP having the biggest choke in NBA history

Kind of like how you guys will throw all of Lebron's teammates under the bus when they play like shit and place the blame mostly on them whenever they would lose?


You must be kidding.

[bdreason]

Real talk though...a 3 game sample size ain't shit.

Barnes is an above average player.

Actually, he's an incredibly average player. His greatest talent is hitting wide open corner 3's. He can't dribble worth shit. Can't pass worth shit. Doesn't attack the rim or post up. Isn't a great rebounder. And he lacks lateral quickness, which makes him a below average defender.

I pray to god we don't match any type of max contract offer, assuming someone is dumb enough to give him one.

I would call Colangelo and ask for Nerlens Noel in a sign and trade.

The 76ers deserve better

[Smoke117]

barnes is a very fundamentally sound player who played 4th wheel in the starting 5, even with injuries to it.

no one really knows how to accurately predict what kind of player he'll be given the keys to the team as a 2nd option.

This.

If Philly offers him a deal on July 1st.... the Warriors will be in a predicament because the Durant saga will take a little while to "sort out." It very well may push GS to act quickly and either:

1) match on Barnes and forget Durant
2) skip Barnes and continue to pursue Durant

And either is not a great option because having Barnes at a huge price will hurt them the following summer with AI/Livingston coming up.... and if they go after Durant they may not get him and left with nothing.....

Barnes could only sign on July 6 and the dubs have 3 days to match.

[noob cake]

Simmons' future is at SF. Two of next year's #1 pick prospects are SF (Jackson and Taytum). Ofc Sixers are interested in Barnes. LMAO

Such a loser franchise.

Why would the Sixers trade their talent when they can sign the guy outright? That makes no sense. Sign and trades are for teams who can't afford the FA.

Then Philly says throw in Curry and we have a deal.

Philly has zero reason to trade Noel for a free agent.

Restricted free agent. Dubs can match the offer.

[Bankaii]

Klay shit himself in the finals last year, Harden did so too in his only finals.

Young players failing in the finals is normal.

Barnes is decent, not a max player.

Still:

Barnes
Simmons
Embiid

Not bad front court.

It'd be dumb to start Simmons at PF.
The Sixers should keep their big man line up of Noel and Embiid/Okafor unless they trade one of the 2.

I'm not sure Durant will decide by July 9th **if** he is truly meeting with all those teams.
