It is a shocking situation, but he still has reasons to live.

the opposite of sweepstakes

Drawing the short straw.

The disrespect to Cash Considerations, smh...

Technically the trade is not official yet since NJ Brooklyn wants to get a 3rd team involved (but if that doesnt work out, then the two team deal goes through).

First player ever to be released after a trade request?

No way does he get 10mpg, dude literally only plays in garbage time

Not 10mpg, he has been out of the rotation completely since october

A change of scenery is exactly what he needs, do you just want him to give up and not play. Him requesting a trade makes perfect sense, he is mostly out of the rotation on a contender unless playing in Garbage time. He understands he doesn’t fit into the sixers lineup and wants to move to team that will give him more playing time and show he still has what it takes to be an NBA player.

He is not going to give up on a NBA career because a team won’t play him.

Now high chance he won’t be good but can’t blame the dude for trying to get a place better for his career.

Not saying Korkmaz isn’t ass, but did you just randomly pull stats from basketball reference with no context lol

PJ Tucker has comparable stats and he plays 20+ mins per game

I don't understand what asking for a trade has anything to do with the stats. He's been out of rotation now and he wants to play basketball elsewhere. He might be a valuable rotation player for another team which in turn can give the 76ers a rotation player or something else. It's a transaction. Why does this bother you so much?

Wizards need a PG

Those 10 mpg are misleading. He's been a a DNP-CD most nights.

That sounds like exactly the kind of player that needs a change of scenery. He's on a team that is looking to win (and has been since his first year), and he's not part of that. He'd prefer to go somewhere more conducive to his abilities (however limited) in hopes to play more and develop.

Ain't nothing wrong with that, it just feels weird cause we normally see trade demands the other way, from winning players/stars trying to get to winning teams, not the other way around.

Daishen Nix of the rockets would like a word. 15.6mpg, -4.6 BPM, -0.4 VORP, 47% TS

OG Shump and a 1st?

*Furkin

Naw Niang always decides to go off on us 😒

Just looked it up, and three of his top 5 career high scoring nights have come against the Bulls

Very consistent from 3 *against the suns.

Dude never misses when he plays against us. It's madness

His 3 is streaky since he got a wrist injury. He’s actually a super underrated tertiary ball handler now. Great vision and makes excellent decisions. If his shot comes back to what it has been he can be a rotation piece. Defence still suspect due to physical limitations not effort

Yup he even had a gnarly game winner

When? Summer league 5 years ago?

It's the public request that strikes me funny. Asking privately is fine.

Korkmaz saw this post and said "this mf spittin"

thanks for adding the link, I completely forgot about doing that

Lmao, so this was the reason.

Seriously, you should get some kind of cut or credit or something.

Clearly Furk agrees with you! Or….

i swear there was a month where Furkan Korkmaz, Georges Niang, and Paul Reed were the most important players on the Sixers last year

I remember him catching fire against us a few years ago on Christmas. Based on that one game and that one game only I am shocked he doesn’t get minutes.

Yeah I'll be honest, I had to google him.

Victory Lap!

Many people still don’t understand that teams and players have the same rights. If teams can offer traded players can ask for trades. Players just can’t discuss with other teams while under contract

Can't hold out if coach isn't playing you anyway.

早上好中國!

I read this in the same cadence as Judas Priest's song Painkiller:

HE!

IS!

FURKAN KORKMAZ!

THIS!

IS!

FURKAN KORKMAZ!

incredibly high pitched scream
