Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

He's a 5 who can handle and pass the ball and make a few shots along the way. Think Kevon Looney, though I don't think Reed is that level of rebounder.
He smokes Looney as an offensive rebounder. They are pretty close as defensive rebounders with the edge going to Looney.
 
So a little over 6 hours to go. I figured with the way Ainge set up the poison pill, Philly was gonna take it to the 11th hour without tipping their hand.

At first I thought it was a no-brainer that Philly would let him walk, but that fan base is beside themselves over the idea of him leaving. I’m guessing Philly matches and ponies up the tax fees.

My thought as well. They will wait until the last minute if they match.
 
Every single thing they've done since suggests they don't think he's ready to play... yet.

He’s super raw. I’m afraid all this “NBAready” talk is irrational exuberance

Hope I’m wrong.

They are going to ease him into nba minutes and get a lot if g league development burn
 
Am I the only one who thinks sexton is a pure undersized 2?

All this pg talk has me confused. What do you see that makes him a 1?

It comes from not caring about positions, because at the end of the day they don't mean anything. Sexton is someone who plays with the ball in his hands, whether you call that a PG or an undersized 2 doesn't really matter.

Defensively, Sexton is also almost always going to need to guard the smallest guard or a spot up shooter with no other threat.
 
When you put the provisions in the deal that we did, being passive aggressive is your only card and you’ll take it.

Also, the whole deal was a big "screw you" by Reed to the Sixers. At some level you have to wonder if it is even worth bringing a player back after something like that. I'm sure they are doing their diligence to see what the locker room feel is around Reed and if there are any issues that they need to be worried about. It isn't the greatest locker room to begin with.
