The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[Tremendous Upside]

The Sixers have a big Embiid-shaped problem.

He's done. Can't run, can't jump. Most of the time he can't even move. Philly's game grinds to a halt when Embiid is out there. They force feed the ball to him at the low post, and then everybody stands around and watches while he takes crazy one-legged fadeaway jumpers over two guys. The fast-moving small ball they've been winning with goes out the window.

They should be going with a heavy emphasis on Maxey, VJ, Grimes and Oubre, with Adem Bona bringing crazy hustle and rim protection at the 5.

But what do you do when you have a future Hall of Famer on the roster who wants to play and won't take no for an answer?

A couple of random thoughts:

- Steph Castle has been really good so far this season and I haven't heard anyone talking about it.

- The Brooklyn 2027 swap rights that Houston has looks extremely valuable. I'm not sure how Brooklyn turns it around in one offseason, they have almost nothing to build off.

- CMB with another good game.

Bronny James might be an NBA player

imagine you're the Raptors and you picked Dick instead of Keyonte George. Catastrophic. Hard to think of a team that mismanaged their nice assets (FVV/OG/Siakam) worse

- George

Missed this. He has a lot of pressure on him.

Therapy helps, my dude. Don’t knock it.

Maybe the song “MMMBop” would cheer Hansen up.

If you need shooting, why would you ever pick Keyonte George?

I was never a Grady Dick fan to begin with and he's been an underwhelming NBA shooter so far, but in college, he was a 40% guy from the perimeter on pretty big volume.

I thought it was awesome actually. Everything is better kornified.

The Sixers look great this year.

I don't know how we get him, but we need Herb Jones. He's such a menace.
