What did you mean by losing only one regular game?

by only losing one regular season game at home. 40-1.

Embiid will have RotY eligibility at age 30 and the 76ers will think he has more potential than Okafor or Noel. Kawhi is the quietest top 5 player ever. If the Ws win 74, it will be the same as last year. Some of you will proclaim them the goat before the playoffs, I'll say no, and they will not win the title.

 

[Dominator13]

Can anyone explain to me how the Noel, Embiid, Okafor thing is going to work out in Philly? Even Simmons has always look like a 4 more than a 3 in college in my eyes. A trade HAS to be made no?

 

[Philly85*]

^^100% yes , something will have to shake out.

By the way what is with all this Kevin Love trade discussion popping up again. A bit ridiculous IMO. Saw ESPN First Take (garbage I know) and some other places say the Knicks are involved and Melo could be going the other way.

Don't forget they have Dario Saric too.

Apparently Colangelo wants to see Embiid play a couple of months first before he decides who to part with.

Nobody wants Kevin Love in NYC. He sucks, not to mention he plays the same position as Porzingis. This is probably Lebron trying to get his buddy on his team and the Cavs trying to unload that dead weight

Send him to Philly or another rebuilding Eastern Conference team--except Miami.

Ty Lawson to the Kings.

Ty Lawson to the Kings.

Hopefully he works out better for your team than he did for mine.

The Basketball forum has 7 threads after the latest purging. The Lounge has 187 pages.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The lounge is full of tweens who like posting the same memes over and over.

Surprised the Kings signed Lawson. I thought that bridge was burned last year when he hit the hookah, or whatever that was.

Saric seems to play more in the back though. He plays like a real tall shooting guard, Durant style.

He really doesn't.

 

[darko]

Saric draws comparison to Toni Kukoc. Kukoc is a better shooter.

Yep, and Dario is more energetic - while Kukoč was very methodical in his approach - especially on the defensive end.

 

[McOilbleeder]

I'm pretty sure it'll be Okafor who's going to be traded. They are just going to make sure Embiid's health is legit and then deal for some guard help.

 

[Dominator13]

He really doesn't.

Well like I said, I'm judging by what I saw with my own eyes. He looked more of a long range shooter then a net driver to me.

 

[Elvis P]

If I based my opinions on NBA2K17, the T-Wolves would be the 5th best team in the league.

 

[Morozov]

Tbh I wouldn't be all that surprised if they were.

If Rubio stays healthy watch out.

 

[Virtanen18]

I have no expectations for the guy so he can only impress from here.

 

[Ivan13]

Well like I said, I'm judging by what I saw with my own eyes. He looked more of a long range shooter then a net driver to me.

And I'm telling you he plays nothing like that, and I saw the kid play for years. Of the SFs in the NBA, Durant is the one that makes little if any sense as a comparison. If you want to compare him to a Warrior, Green is the only one that makes sense, Šarić isn't as good defensively, but he plays point forward, he can slash, spot up, crash the boards and be relentless on both ends of the court. He is also an emotional leader and a guy that will go through a wall head first if the coach tells him to, an epitome of a Philly style athlete.

 

[Ivan13]

If Rubio stays healthy watch out.

He'll be the one thing that holds them back.

 

[darko]

Another somewhat decent comparison I've heard for Saric is Boris Diaw. Diaw is much better defensively.
