Who do you want your team to pursue in free agency?

Post by PhutureDynasty »

Realistic or unrealistic I'd love for the Sixers to go after the following free agents (whether restricted or not):

1. Kevin Durant - goes without say as to why

2. Mike Conley - underrated PG who plays defense, facilitates, scores, and is used to playing with bigs

3. Bradley Beal - solid young SG who would give the 76ers some much needed 3 point shooting and scoring from the 2 spot

4. DeMar DeRozan - pretty much the same as Beal with a worse 3 ball

5. Evan Turner - just kidding...

5. Joe Johnson - assuming he doesn't want anything close max money I'd take him. Basically for the same reasons as the other SGs

76ers have enough to hypothetically have 2 max superstar contracts on the team.

Fair enough.

Rose is off the books after next season?

I think so but it is still not soon enough.

Unfortunately I can't think of any player who I would want that actually would want to come here.

I guess if someone has a chance maybe Afflalo.

Yea agreed. I almost listed him but I didn't feel like continuing the list honestly.

I'm being VERY optimistic and a complete homer here but we can pay a shitload of money to free agents and will hopefully have some solid young talent to build around those free agents.

That's me hoping a decent free agent comes our way but I think we can be a dark horse for some guys.

Yea I am posting all these free agents assuming the Sixers don't draft Ben Simmons or something.

God I'd be so hype if we land him and another top 4-10 pick from your Lakers (no offence bro).

76ers starting lineup for the next 10 seasons if we land Simmons.

PG: Who cares
SG: Who cares
SF: Ben Simmons
PF: Nerlens Noel
C: Jahlil Okafor

Minimum 6 championships. Guaranteed.

I haven't really noticed anyone that's going to be a for sure star besides Simmons. As long as you get him I wouldn't be disappointed. That kid can ball. You probably won't get our pick. The Lakers are really bad.
True. If they are anywhere close to the 3 spot the rig is prolly in for you guys with the lottery.

Rig that shit up!

I will lol if we do somehow get the first pick. Simmons has been quoted saying he's going to play for the Lakers next year. Make it happen, Silver.
He's just being nice to not upset the LA crowd, I have inside information saying he will only declare if he's guaranteed to be a Sixer.

Has he been practicing his tanking? If not, they won't take him.
Completely changes next season. Night and day will be the difference between this season's Sixers and next if we land Simmons.

I want to agree with you, but you guys have gotten the most sought-after players the last 3 years. They developed a losing culture. Nobody is going to play hard for a team that wants to lose.
Guess we will see. I got a bet Wailua saying the 76ers make the playoffs before the Lakers do.

Hopefully this forum is still going in 10 years.
