The Philadelphia 76ers have dealt center Spencer Hawes to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for two second-round picks, and forward Earl Clark.
Hawes is a talented center with a nice offensive game, but struggled with consistency throughout his career with the Sixers. The Cavaliers are determined to make a playoff push, and adding a talented big man like Hawes to their mix will help that cause.
Without Hawes, the Sixers now have a huge void in the middle of their starting lineup. LaVoy Allen or Branden Davies would figure to pick up most of Hawes’ minutes.
The Sixers wanted to get a first-rounder for Hawes, but a haul of two second-round picks for a guy who was set to be an unrestricted free agent is still pretty good. NBA second-round picks aren’t as valuable as NFL second-rounders, but a quality GM can still pick out some nice talent in that round.
Michael Redd
Monta Ellis
Marc Gasol
Carlos Boozer
Gilbert Arenas
Manu Ginobili
Mehmet Okur
Stephen Jackson
Rashard Lewis
Isaiah Thomas
Chandler Parsons
Omer Asik
Glen Davis
Anderson Verejao
Marcin Gortat
Paul Millsap
These are all examples of guys taken in the second round recently that have turned out to be quality NBA players. Sam Hinkie himself is responsible for drafting Chandler Parsons of the Rockets. If there’s a GM in this league that has a chance to bring back a quality piece with those second rounders, its Hinkie.
Its a move that will make the Sixers considerably weaker, and much more likely to finish with the league’s worst record.
Evan Turner Update
According to ProBasketballtalk.com, the Sixers have lowered their asking price for Evan Turner, and are now willing to take back a second round pick.
Arnett Moultrie……… we sent a future first round pick when we received the rights to Moultrie from the Heat as they did not wish to give the $ awarded to a first round pick. Do we even mention this d-league worthy player as a “must start to see if he has anything to give?”
I just learned that if the Sixers miss the playoffs again next year then the Moultrie for a future first round pick to Miami is dissolved and the sixers owe the Heat nothing.
Lavoy Allen is a restricted free agent so he probably get the start. Maybe the Sixers sign Dewayne Dedmon who they had for two 10 day contracts this year at center.
they have to pick up salary… i believe they are under a minimum…. so they have to take on somebody else’s over paid P.O.S player.
According to my source, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be sending Earl Clark to the Sixers
Question JH? Why would anyone with insight on trades, in any professional sport contact you personally?????????
Gmstiff, stick to the nfl mock drafts… haha
yada yada,….can you answer the question?
Because if you can’t. then some might wonder who the stiff really is….
Do you mind answering the question instead if passing the buck on me, to distract the gcobb.com family from the real issue? Because I know you realize, you’ve already lost credibility.
Why would anyone with insight on trades, in any professional sport contact you personally?????????
He can’t answer it, because he’s a f^#@ing lunatic, Court Jester! I can’t wait until the don’t get $#!t for his butt buddy ET, so he can look even more like an idiot. 1st rounders for ET, & Hawes. That was highly amusing, even coming from him!
LOL. I’ll always remember the guys post saying something like its a strong possibility that Michael Vick could come back as the QB coach for the Eagles next year. That was a Gcobb classic. Maybe the most disturbing yet hilarious thing ever said on here.
pheags, the cluelessness & idiocy, never ceases to amaze me on here.
I really don’t have a problem with JH, but he often will get into himself, and at times call me out of name…..
I ‘m just calling him on the carpet, to see if he would finally admit his source is the internet…….I don’t expect him to answer, but like I said before fellas silence is very loud….and a confession.
His sources, are his blowup dolls, in his sex dungeon. Dude is a flat out Court Jester, on here for comic relief.
they dont. its obvious jons source is the internet as demonstrated when he posted the hawes trade 15 minutes after the rest of the internet knew about it
Earl Clark the player everyone trades – drafted by Phoenix, traded to Orlando, traded to LA Lakers, traded to Cleveland then traded to Sixers now? That is 5 teams 5 years.
***Breaking News***
According to my highly placed source airplanes will be taking off and landing all afternoon at the Philadelphia International Airport.
haveaseat.. haha
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good one Ciggy….
more Sixers moves to come…
This trade gives the Sixers 4 second round picks, the most out of all the other teams and this is huge for a team that is big on player development. #togetherwebuild #theyrenotdoneyet
they can move into late first round with 4 seconds and/or draft European or Brazilian league players. I believe they have the rights to a Turkish power forward who was the real trade piece Hinkie wanted in the Royce White trade this past summer.
Good stuff E0s, but I thought they traded his rights too? I could be mistaken
Actually I believe they have five 2nd rounders. #insanelygreat
actually its 6 moron
I hope this trade means we will see more of Nerlins Noel. I heard he was a full participation in practice the other day.
you heard wrong. he did not participate in contact drills
some source you have #cantevenreadtheinternet
Henry Sims it’s also involved in the deal along with Earl Clark and the two second round picks
Note: If the cap is $60 million next season like many think it will be, and the sixers trade Young today, they will have $45mil in cap space this offseason
As I reported months ago, Omer Asik coming to philly is still a strong possibility.. pay close attention to this
correction to Jons post above. what he meant was:
As the internet reported months ago, Omer Asik coming to philly is still a strong possibility.. pay close attention to this
I have a question for everyone who gives JH a hard time. What damn difference does it make? I don’t know what’s more insane his sources or your responses or maybe just maybe your equally insane. Seriously I have relatives in front offices in the NFL and NBA and I don’t even pay attention to them with all the nonsense they have reported over the years during family gatherings geez get a grip.
I have gotten great insight about individual players though. Man I got some great Percy Harvin and Derrick Coleman stories.
BL this is a goofy blog meant to kill time trade opinions and bullshit. Some take if too seriously I guess and when you get a chance to bust balls on the class goofball it’s what you do.
I hear you cigar. LOL
It brings him down a notch Biggie…nothing personal
LOL
BigL, all I do is sit back and laugh at these guys when they respond to my posts haha it cracks me up. It really shows how weird and controlling these guys can be. I can only imagine how they run their families, probably like some tyrants/dictators..
It has zero effect on me, being that I continue to do what I’ve been doing, breaking the news and rumors from my source before anyone else and providing great insight on my Philly teams.. read it and weep bums.. haha
You sit back & laugh, while everyone sits back & laughs at your imbecilic @$$! By you still claiming to break news, & have sources, continues to show, you are incapable of living in reality, & are an imbecilic, nut job. It’s funny, how you had to search for someone, who kind of sided with you. Don’t try to involve Big in your lunacy! He’s too smart to bite. Son, you are a sad joke of a young boy! Seek help bruh! BTW, I’m a damn good Father & Husband, so don’t bring families into your lunacy! At least I have a REAL family, & not a family of blow up dolls, that pose as your family, friends, dates, & sources! Beat it wacko, & go wash your dirty winky! You were wrong! You are nuts, & have no sources!
EVERY SINGLE THING YOU POSTED TODAY WAS ON THE INTERNET BEFORE YOU POSTED WITH TIMESTAMPS.
***Sixers News****
In 3-team deal, Washington will send Eric Maynor and two 2nd-round picks to the Sixers
–confirmed
Like I told the retard on here, Hawes & ET are worthless, & we won’t get anything of significance, for 2 stiffs, who are FA’s at seasons end. 1st rounders my @$$????? What a f^#@ing joke! 2 stiff expiring contracts, & 2 2nd rounders, is too much for Mr. Softee.
Washington will get Andre Miller, Denver gets Vesley and Philadelphia gets Maynor and two second-round picks.
Maynor has a $3 million player option for next season. So the Sixers take back some salary along with the picks.
I like Eric Maynor as a quality Back-Uup Guard… Remember the game he had when he led his VCU Team in a Win over Duke in the NCAA a few Years back…He was unstoppable and sent the Dukies Packing
Like I said, Thad is the ONLY one worth anything. As it looks right now, he won’t be going anywhere.
it’s unclear what year those second round picks will be in
“Buckle your seatbelt Malik, were coming in for a landing” haha
The Sixers will get Washington’s 2nd rounder in 2015 and one from Denver in 2016 in that 3 team trade
“Buckle your seatbelt Malik, we’re coming in for a landing”
You are getting a chubby, over a bunch of 2nd rounders, & stiffs! You really need to get your head examined!!!!
more salaries and more picks coming.. I think.. haha
just brutal nobody in the league wants turner at any price
probasketball.com said the Sixers have nine picks now in the second round. I can’t tell if that gets me more or less excited then who the Eagles select in the 7th round.
Jeff, technically we don’t have 9 2nd rounders, since some of those 2nd rounders, are spread out through the 2016 season. I believe, we only have 5 this year. Keep on tanking, baby! “Parking for Parker”, “Riggen for Wiggens”. SHOWYALUV! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Thad Young and Evan Turner are both at Sixers practice as we speak..
looking like turner will be traded on draft night after all, right jon?
Turner can’t be traded on draft night. He’s a FA.
Jon please ignore DCar we all know you have all the answers and the inside scoop. Is your source still thinking Turner could go on draft night?
>XD
I can understand keeping Young, but someone tell Turner to get the bags packed he is getting shipped within the hour.
Haha!! Good stuff Jeff
Have the Sixers decided on a Mascot yet?
Yeah, Jon Hart, with his Court Jester outfit!
It works! “Court” Jester, & he’s an @$$Clown!
I expect more moves before the 3 p.m. deadline.. quote from coach brown moments ago “I can’t talk about that. There are things going on”… stay tuned
Both Thad Young and Evan Turner were not available to speak to the media today
#deadlinelooms
Man, I can’t wait for after the deadline, when our starting lineup will be C Asik, PF Monroe, SF?, SG? PG MCW, bunch of stiffs, 1st rounder, 6 2nd rounders, for this draft. Sound about right Lil Bron-Bron? What are your blowup dolls telling you? Inquiring minds want to know. I’m on the edge of my seat with anticipation……..
no his source said Kevin Love would be our PF
He spews alot of verbal diarrhea. It’s highly amusing.
76ers get Forward Earl Clark and Center Henry Sims from the Cavaliers also..
Earl Clark played at Louisville I believe and is a Newark,NJ native…
Like I said, bunch of stiffs.
All jokes, & ball breaking aside, I like how Lil Winkie Hinkie, is stock piling picks. We are practically guaranteed a top 3 now. This should have been don, 3-4 years ago. Enough with the lingering in the black-hole of mediocrity. In the NBA, you have to get bad, to properly rebuild, & get lucky with getting some young studs. This year, is our opportunity.
however i want to add/ask the NBA followers on this site…isn’t it still luck of the draw? I mean if you are bad and get the 2 pick and it happens to be Durant… you win the lottery. or your bad and the 2 pick that year is Turner…?? If i’m not mistaken there were no ‘lebron’s or durants’ the year turner was drafted?
i understand there are some players in this draft but….
i guess this is why the nba is a bastard of a league
You are correct. Turner was the best option at the #2 pick, but nobody really saw him as a #2 pick in a decent draft,
hac, it’s different this year. The year we drafted ET, it was well documented, to be a very week draft, & we also drafted the wrong guy. Monroe, Cousins, & George were rated higher than him, on most mocks, & ET also was not a fit. That was more of ineptness, than luck of the draw. This year, the top 5-6 players are either going to be studs, or at least very good. Also, this draft is going to be at least 20 players deep, in legit NBA contributors. Next year is supposed to be solid also.
The Sixers roster is currently at 16 players, someone has to go..
Sources state that ET & Thad Young were seen down in Atlantic City with
Allen Iverson playing at some “Gaming Tables”… Details from JH later today..
Let’s do a brief recap with one hour left before the trade deadline..
So far Hinkie has turned Holiday/Hawes into 2014 1st rd pick, four 2nd round picks & Nerlens Noel. Not freakin bad Hinkie..
I’m hearing the Sixers have one more trade that they’re trying to pull off, stay tuned
On the edge of my seat, in anticipation! CAN’T F^#@ING WAIT!!!!
Evan Turner from 2nd pick to not good enough to be traded for a future top 64 draft pick, unreal. this guy blows. biggest bust since bradley or bigger bust?
Very informative article on CSNphilly .com, explaining how the Maynor, & 2 2nd rounders move, erases the Moultrie mistake, & possible prevents us from losing our 1st rounder to Miami, & give the Celtics the 2 2nd rounders, instead. NICE!
according to my source, the Sixers are talking with the Lakers for Chris Kaman
the internet learned about this rumor from Ramona Shelburne at 2:43 so either your source is her and she told you after she tweeted it or the internet is your source.
which one?
If ET is still on this team, it’s unacceptable! Being greedy, & wanting a high 1st rounder, is delusional, irrational, & borderline lunacy!
HEY MR. SOURCES, where is Asik? Where is Monroe? Where is Love? Where are those multiple 1st rounders? Stay the f^#@ off this site! You are a retarded @$$puppet, Court Jester! Nothing less, nothing more!
When will the posters on here trust & believe, that I know WTF I’m talking about? I’m not always right, but I’m not delusional, nor stupid, & I understand talent & know how things work. Now, my critics, can kiss my tricolored @$$!!!!
the Clippers send Byron Mullens to the Sixers for a second round pick
OH BOY! Let’s reserve a spot on Broad Street!
gmcliff, if not mistaken, you said we were getting multiple 1st too. I told you to stick with football. LOL! Busting your balls bruh! XD
I did DCar,….You’re right Good Brother. But with trading Nerlens Noel in any deal with Turner, or Hawes, which would have landed them another first Rounder for next year, and a solid player.
I feel there is better talent than him in next years draft; Just as much of a Defensive Presence, but with more of an Offensive Game….Myles Turner
I agree with you about Noel. He was a project, non-offensively talented player, prior to his major injury. Not to mention, he’s a bean pole, & will get smashed in the paint, if they are going to play him at the 5. Also, he ain’t talented enough to be a 4.
there will be more moves to come, or the Sixers will outright release two players because this is putting them way over the roster limit. the deadline was at 3 p.m. But as long as they informed the league before 3pm that negotiations were still in progress, theyre fine
It’s over fool! Give up the buffoonery, & put up the white flag! You are an imbecilic, clueless, nut job! Quit while you are behind. No negotiations! No moves! It’s over!
according to my source, the Indiana Pacers have traded Danny Granger to the 76ers
Yeah, ok!!!!
Sixers are sending Evan Turner in the package for Danny Granger
Trade was made to get to the cap floor. He’s a FA, & injured all of the time. At least ET is gone.
you can add lavoy Allen to that deal as well
