Speaking of shortsighted thinking.... you all realize there is a good chance you will have a top 3 pick next year. The Bucks will be atrocious.


The new lottery rules don’t reward atrociousness, just incompetence.

My friend had the idea to just sit Embiid for the entire regular season. As crazy as it sounds, it’s kind of genius. Embiid is healthy for the playoffs with less mileage. If I’m an away team ticket holder, I’d rather watch the Maxey/Edgecombe/Brown show than them feed Embiid in the post.

We obviously weren’t offering that


That’s my point. I worded poorly. Point Queen would have feasted with those 4 around him. You have a closer at the end of games now.

I have to imagine Murphy may be on the move, because we are obviously not trying to win now if that was the price.
I have a hard time believing Boston prefers this package to a Murray/Herb/2 1sts package.

Fears/brown/murphy/zion/queen would have been wild to see.
Someone needs to check on Bill Simmons. This was botched hilariously by Boston.
Paradise Valley is a popular spot to retire apparently.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted so much personally. I’m not in the “Trade TM3” camp, but this is the first trade that makes some sense for us if I’m reading that Orlando pick right (unprotected 2028 Orlando). And one I could see the other teams doing with their current situations playing out.

- could be lottery ticket draft pick? Check
- Immediate prospects? Check
- a low floor/high ceiling scoring prospect? Check
- more in line with current timeline? Check

ETA: I think Portland would have to compensate in place of the Cenac spot somehow, this is a tough pill for Boston even with Brown’s depressed market.
Booo this is actually a good OP. He’s correct on all fronts.
Between this and the Rowing at the games, Norwegians are comfortably in the lead for most entertaining WC fans.
If they can get Lamelo to be a pass first PG, this could be interesting. Hard to tell what his game could be on a team with coaching/leadership with him in CHA with a bunch of other chuckers and low IQ players.

His dunk bro


Zion can still get up. We saw it last year when he wanted to. The wear and tear on his knees/joints from jumping and landing at his weight is probably the reason you don’t see him do it as often anymore. Which, unless we are actually winning, is probably ideal for both him and the team.
Zion’s in game jumpers are nearly practice shots with the space he’s given. This needs to translate. If they have to guard him on the perimeter, he turns into a completely different player.
When you take a less than market value contract to help the team compete and they win 25 games, this is the consequence. Cant blame TM3.

Any team will gladly allow that incredible trio of Mitchell, Wiggins, and Powell to shoot 3s all game. And that spacing between Bam and Giannis? Amazing. That roster is mediocre as shite right now, just admit it. That isn’t a contender.


They’re better than they were yesterday. They traded quarters for a dollar, and were stuck in roster purgatory. They woulda waltzed into next year with another 40 win team and Ware as the only legit prospect. What’s the complaint here for MIA? It was reset or go get a name.

6 threes on 15.3 attempts a game from those 3. That’s not low volume and anything hovering around 40% is very good. And that’s ignoring Bobby Portis’ 2nd in NBA 45%. Throw his in there and it’s 8 on 19.7, which gets you above 40%…

There are flaws in ball handling, play making, and scoring depth, but saying they can’t shoot is not one of them.

Herro is not a playoff basketball player. He’s soft and he hasn’t played well in a postseason since his rookie year.

So pack the paint and beat Miami..


Powell shoots 38% on high volume and degree of difficulty. The other two he listed shoot over 40%. Davion shoots 40%.
quote:

Is that even a good offer? Idk the heat


Ware has a chance to be really good. He had flashes of dominance in year 2 and shot 40% from 3. Needs to condition in the offseason though. Dude gassed out if asked to play minutes.
After the latest rumors, I pine for the days Jaylen Brown was supposed to come here.
So trading TM3 (our biggest asset who should get us a huge haul) for 2 DMV guys and ignoring the value. This is the darkest era of Pels management.

Friday or Saturday, sure, but on a work night? No way. I'm glad this game is meaningless. I'll watch it on-drmand


Something tells me if you’re crying about having to stay up til 11pm to finish the game, you aren’t watching that thing on demand :lol:

DMV area…. Shocker.


Made me throw up a little. We’re not even objectively evaluating players anymore. Just some delusional opinion that DMV is superior to all.
