expertly done by presti, horf played 28 games then was sat to preserve his value and let the team tank

wonder how shai feels about the thunder bringing in another lead guard in so that they can "rebuild his value"
― J0rdan S., Friday, 18 June 2021 17:56 (three years ago) link
doubt theyll do anything to get in the way of shai, plenty of minutes to go around, sure theyll keep kembas minutes down anyway as they did w horf, aging guys with injury histories and so forth
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 18:09 (three years ago) link
besides everyone loves kemba, good guy to have around
one thing about this deal is it makes resigning fournier easier from both a cap stand point and because they have a starting spot and more looks for him now which is good cause if they dont resign him they dont have much ability to go out and get another guy
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 18:16 (three years ago) link
do you want to resign fournier tho?

got to, hes a pretty good player, def limited by his lack of athleticism but he can ball
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 18:21 (three years ago) link
with all the good perimeter defenders the celtics have they should be able to hide him pretty well
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 18:22 (three years ago) link
Maybe Moses Brown is a Drummond type who compiles defensive stats while not actually helping much, but the guy is a great rebounder. I'd definitely kick the tires there.

i like fournier a lot as a 3rd or 4th option. he's a pro and seems like he's pretty low-maintenance.
i wonder who they could get for thompson/smart and a pick...

he's their only point guard now isnt he

fournier looked good for them. he def felt like a “playoff player” to me, he’s tough and can shoot

There's the rookie point guard the C's drafted last year, Payton Pritchard. He's still green, but promising enough as regular season, gives you 12-to-14 minutes kind of guy. Not who you want starting.

marcus is a good point guard! its by far his best offensive mode, also gives them good size on D
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 21:08 (three years ago) link

Pritchard definitely had a very good rookie season, I could see him being an ok starter eventually. The defense is good right?
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 18 June 2021 21:35 (three years ago) link
def had a good year, idk if hell be a starter but its not out of the question, one thing is hes pretty old
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 22:30 (three years ago) link
his defense was better than what you might think but hes still small and unathletic so prob has a pretty low ceiling on the end, will have trouble switching and so forth
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 June 2021 22:32 (three years ago) link
trying to work out what the sixers will do if they lose to atlanta tonight. they can't run it back, they can't move embiid, they can't fire doc. so do they hair-trigger it on simmons and/or harris? those dudes can't have lower value than they do after this series. try to make some moves to get a bench? it's a real situation!
― Clay, Friday, 18 June 2021 22:37 (three years ago) link
simmons is the obv move.
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Friday, 18 June 2021 22:39 (three years ago) link
simmons value def at an alltime low tho prob still has fans out there theyre certainly not going to get what they could have a couple years ago, harris had a really good year and his stock is prob up a bit BUT his contract is completely insane hes making ~$40m in 23/24 lmao, if they lose to atl im guessing simmons is out

“I have news for Philly fans, the GMs of the other teams watch the playoffs very very closely. And there are definitely teams that I have talked to in the last 48 hours who were once in on Simmons, who say, at lease to me, it could be posturing, “eh, we’re a little less in than we used to be.”...“I know Sixers fans will be disappointed because even a week ago they were talking about Lillard and now we’re talking about McCollum but I think you have to to consider it."

I don't think Simmons and Embiid are particularly tight. After this season, Embiid's gotta be thinking, "I need to get this guy out of here before my knees give out." Maybe he forces the issue?
