The Sixers would have to be nice to do it, because he does have some value as a sign and trade for next year. Not sure they are in any position to give up anything!

I think the question that they are weighing could be is there a real chance that they make a trade for someone this off season. And is that trade chip worth having an influential vet moping around, not wanting to play and poisoning the well so to speak for the younger guys like Carter Willliams and Noel?

Thad Young could be moved but they have so many 2nd rd picks they can use as a trade sweetener too

I'm always amazed that people think a guy that can't play for a bad team can help a good one. Jimmer stinks.

If Steve Kerr can play a role on a good NBA team there is no reason Jimmer cant too

The Spurs seemed to have proven that theory wrong more than a few times in the past.

If a guy has a real NBA skill, even just one, teams will find a use for him. Fredette can shoot and has easy 3 point range. He really cant do anything else but that is his one skill. Supposedly he is heading to Memphis

Memphis could be a scary first round opponent if they can get into the playoffs...really haven't had any continuity with their team so far...if they can just get/stay healthy.

Memphis is not that good, I dont think they could beat any of the top 6 teams in the West.

Any player can be good in Miami, OKC, Houston. He would fit perfectly on about 13 teams. He can have a long career in the NBA.

Then why do those teams only play 7-8 guys?

Lets not get crazy. The guy is bench scoring and 3 point shooting only.
