OT: The Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers are glad to have a Butler part 2

[Hiesenberg]

I keep thinking, I wonder if Zhaire can get healthy enough to at least be a solid rotational defender this year.

 

[BigToe]

You guys think Patton gets a look this year?

They need to get backcourt depth now. They are paper thin at guard.

 

[kelmitchell]

Embiid, Simmons and Harris are 24, 22 and 26, with Harris being a near perfect fit. Butler has to prove he can blend in and prove his value within this team construction. As said before we can go an entire different route this summer with just resigning Harris and having nearly 40 million dollars in cap space (excluding Fultz).
Let's see how much Butler really prioritizes winning instead of bragging about it in the media.

Most likely not

Someone's coming in, whether it's Temple or Prince or any of the million other guys available. You don't make these two trades and not fill that gap.

 

[The Madrigal]

Rumor is Fultz for Ross is being discussed.

What??? They got Fultz.

 

[Jtown]

Im not crazy about this. I really wanted to keep that miami pick

Terrance Ross?

I don't know anything about him, but I would love to put Fultz in Portland.

yes

Hes a so so player, has lots of consistency issues, but is athletic and can shoot, small forward as well, so hed be good depth

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Sooooo, after thinking on it.

We got a 26 year old star for Shamet and 2 firsts if I reallllllly dumb it down.

Our bench now sucks asshole though.

Dude you are insane if you think Harris is a so-so player. He’s about as good a fit based on pedigree/play style that you could think of.

Edit: this may have been a tad aggressive, I didn’t mean it that way.

Double edit: I’m just dumb, ignore me.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Bench sucks for now. The Sixers have minutes, a MLE contract, and promise.

I'll think they'll be a very buyout favorite market for players.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Ross is an acquisition I would kill. Fultz is the only way to make that happen.

At that point, I would have rather expanded the Clips deal to include Fultz and Lou Williams. You need a guy who can hit Corner 3s.

Harris's efficiency numbers are absurd. Do not worry about that at all. For example:

He was talking about Ross not Harris.

Im talking about Ross, not Harris lol i love tobias harris

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The other need is a guy who can stay on a lead guard's hip. Don't see one.

Had no clue he was this good. Also didn’t know he’s only 26. Hopefully we can get some good waiver pick ups.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Harris is a guy I think they should prioritize in signing over Butler and I love Butler.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Just to be clear, he's not good defensively. Never has been. He's not awful, though.

What this stops is teams from helping off of Simmons. Harris will kill you all night. Tremendous slasher.

You also now have two top 10 leaguewide shooters in your starting lineup. And Jimmy Butler. To go with your stars.

I wrote something about that on the page prior, i agree with this 100%

 

[Hiesenberg]

The Sixers need defense no doubt, but they need spacing. Jimmy has helped a little, but not as much as one would think. Harris should space the floor A LOT. You'll have to have guys on him and JJ, that'll leave Jimmy/Ben 1v1 all night and if they double Joel, somebody is gonna be free up and can cause major damage.

New thread y’all.
