News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

Embiid, Horford, Harris, Richardson, Simmons.

Philly stocking up on 5’s and 4’s. That’s such an odd freaking lineup. Would’ve been better keeping Embiid, Butler and Harris, and then trading Ben Simmons for another starting guard or wing.

Such an odd offseason.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Really depends on how much cap space we have left after signing Bojan. Might still have around 8mil cap space left to put in an offer. Possibly not enough for Portis but may just be enough to scoop Jabari
