It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

give them a break, they just didn't notice he couldn't play basketball is all

yeah a team with joel/jimmy and some spacers/defenders could be a tank.

Their 2 biggest issues are horrible spacing/lack of shooting and being dogshit when Embiid isn’t on the floor.

Jimmy doesn’t directly address either of those issues and they just lost 2 shooters. but they do finally have a valid pnr option to go to which should help Embiid somewhat.

I think either they steamroll teams with their best lineups or Simmons and Fultzs’ issues become overexposed and they regress.

No one can predict the yips xps

Funnily enough I think the most significant potential blowing up point rests with how jimmy deals with the fultz situation. Everyone in philly seems rabidly protective of Fultz and if he dares to pontificate on his mentality the way he did Wiggins and KAT I don’t think he ever recovers from his heel turn

idk jimmy shd help them with the non joel lineups

seems like it wldve been better to put fultz in that trade tbqh, prob philly just wasnt ready

If they could have traded Fultz and Saric for Jimmy they should have done it 100%

Reddick-Butler-Covington-Simmons-Embiid would be stifling on defence with plenty of spacing to boot

if they put fultz in there maybe they dont even have to include saric

phillys ownership has got to be just trash, they hired that wall st process guy who didnt know anything about basketball and years after firing him their young players are still developing weird

A hinkie apologist would argue that as long as embiid pans out he’s vindicated and fultz was a colangelo pick which essentially boils down to a league office imposition

minn might not have been interested in a pg who could generously be described as “developmental”

I want a peek into that alternate universe where Hinkie is still sixers GM

yeah but they could have also had other guys besides noel who they had to give up on before they were ready to compete because it was such a long rebuild and okafor who just wasn't a great player

76ers now have two top 12-15 players and three in the top ~25. All three play defense. They’re going to be really good. They will need to bring on some more shooting of course. Landry Shamet will probably get a lot of burn.

simmons is a curio imho

team generally is a paper tiger

I guess we got Bayless too?
Don't know anything about him

How have the Bulls been? Now you have to compare this to what we let go for Butler

Now you have to tear it all down again, Thibs/Layden have to go, get in hopefully a coach with modern sensibilities, try to see if KAT and Wiggins can be reengaged...

Such a fuckin mess

Feel like Saric and Convington obv aren't stars but good players to have on a team, though you guys would know more

Hey let's bring back Rambis, dust off the triangle, what a shitshow

Covington was first team all defence last season. When he's in the zone, he can lock down the best player on the other team and can hit down the 3 at a good rate. If he works on his consistency I think he could be great value on the current contract.

Saric is also good but has been regressing this season. Hopefully picks up.

Bayless is basically salary filler and I reckon he shouldn't get any minutes under Thibs.

But yeah, get a new coach already so this isn't all wasted

bayless is likely to be cut/waived

Stephen A is excited

Ohhhhh yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh. @JimmyButler to Philly!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/VHgNtLl73J

sga playing with poise

again with the 3 initials thing? who is sga?

Some guy, aimless

def not anyone as well known as fdr, jfk, or lbj.

This initials thing is doa

love to type shane gilgeous-alexander every time i want to talk about shane gilgeous-alexander

this imo

otm

How about Shai G-A. Or even Shai since I think he’s the only one with that name in the league. Or wait until he gets a nickname that people recognize.

Stop with the fucking initials for everyone.

Actually, do what you want. I can ignore both of you clowns.

Easy, EZ

Seems like shai has a sweet highlight play every game. Think he’s already taken the starting slot from Avery?

Yeah it was communicated he took it last night. Though Avery is out with a foot injury. Can't really see him taking him back on current form though.

He’s talented and I’m pleasantly surprised how quickly he’s adapted to the NBA game. Clippers drafted well.

ohw ait its not even shane its Shaivonte

hes like if exum was good

exum is just always injured

Looking like melo isn’t even gonna make it to thanksgiving on the rockets lmao

melo needs to hang his head and take it to china already

nobody could have seen that coming.

Rockets lost again and Chris Paul looks like he’s about to go in the oven. That contract may sink the rockets.

cp3 is so far past his expect expiration date its ridiculous and when the wheels come off w guys like him they come off fast

guess i did not realize dude turns 34 this spring

jesus he's shooting 30-27-78 so far this year yikes

thereve been some exceptional slow starts this year (most of them on the celtics)

Maybe you shouldn't sign a max deal with the guy who changed the rules so he could get a max deal even though he was too old under prior rules.

they came sooooo close last year tho

rockets are in disarray imo. spurs are missing like 5 guys and demar was shooting p bad, and the rox still never really challenged them.

derrick white in his second game: 14 pts, 8 ast, 4 reb, 2 stls. great playmaking; a lot of those 8 asts were tough needle-threading passes. great d on switches, kept a hand in the face of shooters without risking fouls. once dejounte murray is healthy next year, these two are going to stifle a lot of backcourts and make a killing in transition.

this is truly an era of exceptionally ludicrous contracts
