Not sure what they' can do about finding more perimeter shooting, though. Sent from my SM-G935V using Operation Sports mobile app

So this a though one. Ben has always said he is the starting PG. So I wonder if he'll take a position change. Mostly not.

Not sure that it would help Fultz's development being the 4th ball handler/option behind three ball dominant guys, but we'll see.

If Fultz hits his stride and starts making serious progress, then he'll have to move back to the PF position. PG would be ideal for match up purposes, but I think PF is Ben's long term spot based on personnel and need.

Good pickup for Philly.

$190 Mil for Butler though...sheesh

I don’t think much would change for Fultz or Simmons. They both already start together. Simmons would just be more of a 4 defensively, set a few more off ball screens. Not much unlike what Bron and Kyrie did.

I think the hope for Fultz was to be a James Harden type combo guard who has potential to be good defensively. He obviously hasn't got his confidence back yet.
I would have Fultz running the 2nd team until he ramps it up. I would start Shamet at the 1 and Reddick at the 2 and Simmons at 4. That way Simmons still gets bulk of ball handling and you have shooters in backcourt.

I think there’s like a 30-40% chance this makes Philly worse. In the very least I think the team is incomplete. Maybe the talent will overcome it, but their spacing is going to be absolutely horrific if they don’t make additional moves.

Kyle Korver + Tristan Thompson

For

Wilson Chandler + Jerryd Bayless ???

Between Toronto, Boston, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Indiana, anyone of those matchups in the playoffs is gonna be a fun/tough 7 game series.
