Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

I hope your prepared for the fact that what they were doing with Giannis over the last year, it’s going to happen with Embiid.

Already starting to happen right now really lol

Of course, we're already saw that BS mid Knicks package rumor lol. I think it all depends on what they do what those picks. I'm not with the cap space route. You're either over patinf for one of the Raptors players or hoping someone in their mid 30s opts out. If they make a big trade, it'll have to be before deadline. Just not sold on Lavine or OG being the prize.

If that day comes that Embiid wants out, then OKC or Jazz can come calling lol. Ship Embiid to the West and I'm good with Holgrem or Kessler lol

Per Shams that Josh Harris and Ballmer essentially got tired of waiting around and called each other iron out deal lol.

"Enough of this, what is it going to take?." While Morey was on the conference call pissed that he couldn't get more lol

Morey will likely have a presser tomorrow and will say that he achieved his goal of multiple firsts, swaps, role players who fit around Embiid and Maxey. He will bring up maintaining cap flexibility and ability to trade for a star

Look you guys did good. My only problem is Kelly Obure. Who's been playing really well off the bench. He's in this clogged position now. He was playing so good in my opinion.

One thing I still don't understand is swapping picks. I kind of wrapped my head around unprotected pick (recently). But swapping just means straight up. I'll take your pick and you take mine. We are just now in different orders during the draft. Or is there something else I'm missing.

Most sensible Sixers fans, want Oubre to stay on the bench. Rather have his scoring off the bench. I'm leaning towards think he'll start on Thursday against Toronto. I see House falling out of rotation, Green is gone. I see if being Maxey-Melton-Oubre-Harris-Embiid to start out since Clippers guys won't be ready to immediately make an impact. Then Pat Bev/Springer, Clippers guys, Reed as the primary backups.

I guess the assumption is that Clippers will be bad by then so they'll swap picks, if so. But I'm not sure what happens when a swap doesn't convey. I'm not sure if it turns to a second .

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

So does anyone actually think this Clippers superteam will mesh together? I don't see it.

Of course not, but let all those Cali guys fall apart together.

If they stay healthy and somehow mesh then they'll have a chance to make noise. Still, that is a lot to ask for with how injury-prone Kawhi & Paul are plus how erratic Russ & James are (on offense).

This would've been an incredible foursome some years ago, though.

Not even years ago for me. Each player would have to sacrifice something. Even if you got at their best. Too many ball handlers. Not enough young players either. Too much Star power for me. The only thing in this teans favor is Ty Lue could manage all of this. But I'm calling this a long shot.

James and Russ didn't work in Houston. Probably won't work with the Clippers but I could be wrong.

I do wonder what he'll do in the offseason. Will he resign or will he try to run away back to Houston.

My best thought is that. He has burned every bridge at this point. There is no way he goes back to any of these teams. Not to mention his single type of offense. I think he's a great player. But too many shortcomings. Defensively they suck!!

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

“We need a star haul back for Harden” face ***

Morey did all that for nothing

I still look at that package and think "Clippers yall really dumb"
