News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[cowhide]

Gettting better. Butler was not signing and Richardson is a stud. They take the East.

Sixers Jazz finals. team of my youth vs my team of today

They have no outside shooting. Is Harris a 3? Can Horford still play the 4?

Glass half full: Jazz take the West.
Glass half empty: Jazz now top 5-10 defense, no trifecta for Rudy as DPOY.

Instead Rudy is an star and in the finals and 1st team all NBA. I think he will be ok with that

Very good, but not elite. And that's okay because their offense is def elite.

No. Elite. Cuz ROYCE

Can Horford still play the 4?

No.

So basically the 4s that are left are Jamychal Green and minimum guys like Jerebko. If we wait someone like Ryan Anderson or Ersan Ilyasova might get waived and stretched and they might be a decent option... but it’s kinda slim pickings... wonder if we pivot and use room exception on center instead of the four position.

Tony Jones says we are interested in Jeff Green, FWIW.

I was gonna say him and Wilson Chandler are available.

I have mixed feelings on Jeff Green. At the room exception that’s fine.

All of their front court can shoot rather well. Both Horford and Embiid are strong in the post (Harris might be as well?). It is a modern way of building an old-school juggernaut, but it will rely heavily on working the post and kickouts from those post-ups.

The problem is Ben is still nearly exclusively a transition player that can’t shoot to save his life. No running mates, and he makes all those post-ups worse.

I know little about Richardson, but I don’t see him zipping around screens for jump shots which is something you’d hope for with all of the screening potential.

Harris isn’t getting the ball in his hands much as a PnR ball handler which is a skill they wasted last year.

Also Portis and...um.. Jabari Parker are still around, but I think at least Portis will get more than the room exception.

You know what, I appreciate that the Sixers are going to try out something that could only work on paper. It’s interesting, I’ll give them that.

Lol

What?

So now its a good plan to run two bigs?

Could have swore you were against this.

He is still against it if you read his post. He said good on paper. As in it looks good, but ain't gonna work

I would rather have Wilson Chandler. He'd be cheaper and he can still hit the three and play defense. I think Green is going to get a nice deal.
