OT: Philadelphia 76ers: It’s Great To Have A Butler

[XDevilBoiX]

Colangelo's Picks:
Simmons
TLC
Korkmaz
Fultz
Bolden
Pasecniks
Lessort


I'm not sure if I'm missing any, but god damn that's a trash list of picks outside of Simmons.

He wasted so many assets, he came here to screw us

 

[Lotusflower]

Kevin Knox career game imminent

 

[Jack Straw]

Knox is going to be good. Reminds me of Tatum, pretty mature 3 level scorer for a rookie. He’s going to have his days.

 

[Jack Straw]

Saw Doncic do this last night. So maybe he could never do it again but still, sick.

 

[Stop the Madness]

Ben Simmons doing Ben Simmons things. <3

He's not a star. Somebody lied.

 

[Jack Straw]

Shake ‘n Bake

 

[Lotusflower]

Shamet, TJ, Zhaire, Furk, Shake, Bolden would be a nice bench in, say, 3 years time. Sixers dont have that long to wait tho

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Jahlil Okafor is going off in (almost) 2019. The end times are here.

 

[Jack Straw]

Celtics lose to Phoenix. I am amused.

 

[Lotusflower]

Clutchington with 4 threes in the 4th.

Correct, if you push them all down about 2-3 roster spots, this team could be really good.

So this would mean that Brand needs to find 2-3 guys either this season or next season.

2-3 bench guys really means than all those guys above won't be playing then. Obviously we need to improve, but finding quality bench guys to trade for is extremely hard. Like look at Shamut. Do you really push him down to not play him anymore as he continues to progress and get better? He needs to work on his defense, but his outside shot is extremely important. There arent too many bench players that are shooting 40%+ from the 3 and playing really good defense.

good...most of them shouldn't

Shamet would be a great 7-8th option.

They need a true back up C. Muscala can't do it, he's a stretch 4.

They also need a good back up PG. TJ stinks, I'm done with him.

Agree, those are the two spots I would look to upgrade this season. TJ has his uses but he gets exposed when he’s asked to play as many minutes as he has been. Obviously Fultz would be the ideal solution there but we’ll see.

 

[Embiid]

Fultz jacked up our progress this year....we needed him to be a regular. Instead we get the weirdest drama situation....worse than Baynum.

Precisely. Fultz f***ed this team sideways with his drama and made up injuries. I hope he enjoys sitting on his couch with his gift money watching the team bust its ass and struggle all the while knowing he's the main culprit.

I see Shamet and Zhaire as long-term pieces. Shamet, in particular, could be a future 6MOTY.

Jury's out on Shake but i'd hold onto him for at least another year or 2.

The rest... yeah, i think there needs to be improvement. As much as i like TJ, and i will miss him when they inevitably go their separate ways, i'd like my backup PG to be a better perimeter defender and 3 point shooter.

Please don't mention that name.

Muscala's not a stretch anything. He's too slow to guard 4's and too soft to guard 5's. He's a tweener.

 

[Jack Straw]

Agreed but I'd rather see him at the 4 with a solid defender at the 5. At least he can stretch the floor.

Muscala's better on d at the 5 than at the 4 though so that's where I want him. Him + Jo just means Jo has to work that much harder

Well, I was thinking more of Moose at 4 plus some one else who can defend at 5, not Embiid. And not Amir.

 

[Embiid]

Our D with Shamet, Korkmaz, Muscala, JJ, and TJ is pretty bad. When Embiid is out we have no rim protection....we need another C who can actually defend. Amir sucks and Muscala is not a backup C....

 

[Lotusflower]

I dont think Muscala is a 4 at all in the NBA. He cant guard 5's either but he gets embarrassed when he has to chase 4's.

The only time Muscala can pass for 4 is when he's out there in those 3rd/4th quarter mins with all 3 of Jimmy/Jo/Simmons.
