2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

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.

yeah i like him he put up good numbers at the end of last year

luka back at it already

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...

no trading marcus

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

he's their only point guard now isnt he

yeah this fills me with dread

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.

i mean, they have a whole offseason of moves to make

marcus is a good point guard! its by far his best offensive mode, also gives them good size on D

im excited about this role for him

kemba-marcus small backcourt
marcus-evan big backcourt

Pritchard definitely had a very good rookie season, I could see him being an ok starter eventually. The defense is good right?

def had a good year, idk if hell be a starter but its not out of the question, one thing is hes pretty old

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

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!

simmons is the obv move.

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

make it happen

i was mocked, derided, outcast, labeled an insane man for suggesting that which now is widely considered destiny

nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

lol that was an escalation, i tip my hat

ben simmons and dame would theoretically complement each other right

sure

“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."

could be he needs glasses

one time the Vikings had a receiver named Troy Williamson who was super fast and athletic but couldn't catch for shit, they ended up sending him to something called Nike Vision Camp

they call it lasik now

yeah I got the sense out was supposed to be more "skills" like getting better at looking at a football

they were like ok now look at the football now you see it ok catch it great

sports science

"keep your eye on the ball" is a pretty time-worn piece of sporting advice seems like

peyton pritchard isn’t a starting PG in the nba

not now and probably not ever

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?

Hawks can’t buy a shot right now

Embiid taking over, this is fun

playoffs thread is thataway

generally agree with this but on the other hand seth curry started a playoff game this evening

yeah but seth curry has an elite skill. i think pritchard is a good back up PG, nice find at the end of the first round, but i don’t think he’s a starter

seth is playing out of his mind but if he's "starter caliber" that's a relatively recent development

i mean what is "a starter"

yeah but seth curry has an elite skill.

pritchard is a shooter fwiw could easily end up as good on that measure as seth curry, shot 40+% this year on often not easy looks

i mean what is "a starter"

there are guys who start and you feel good about it.....and then there are guys who start

yeah but seth curry has an elite skill.
