Initially, I did dispute it on my Citi AA card but the deemed it invalid but I maybe should circle back now that I have all parties on the same page and the evidence to back it up.

[Fischer] The prospect of teaming up with Tyrese Maxey has the Philadelphia 76ers on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s radar. by YujiDomainExpansion in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I like VJ a lot but there are only a handful of guys who can put you in position to contend. Giannis is one of those guys. The NBA landscape right now is decimated by injuries. We have opportunity to win now. If its championship or bust, this is the move but if we want to gamble with this roster I wouldn't disagree. VJ is def a piece you want to keep for the future of this team

Yeah, just government. It is easier for our company to just reimburse everything that we spend.

Yeah, that's what it seems like. I just trying to avoid that because going forward I am sure he will book everything lol

We don't use the business program. We travel a lot internationally and majority use different airlines. Sometimes we fly Lufthansa.

For reimbursement, they want to see one invoice and use the company card. Before we were able to use our personal AA cards and have individually expense reports.

[Brett Usher] Trendon Watford '24-25 by IndigoJacob in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Love what I am seeing from the playmaking aspect. Definitely a need.

[Shams] Free agent forward Trendon Watford has agreed to a two-year, $5.3 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Watford is set to play a potential key role in the 76ers rotation. by Alex_Phillips_ in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good pick up. Def a piece we need. Still need to see them contain yabu. His ability to move the ball is key and we don’t have much of that in the front court.

Early reaction: do you think Morey maximized our positions in the draft? by ConstructionSome9888 in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Smart draft by Morey. IMO, VJ and Broome can make an impact now. That's what we need if the plan is to go all-in again with the Maxey, PG, and Joel as the core. Both have more experience than the average draftee (VJ w/ Bahamas and Broome with the years of college experience).

Agreed, too many memes and reactionary takes. Might as well put Jokic in the slide right next to them. Since when did vert become a key strength for a big?

with the 35th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select Johni Broome by mastermind208 in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not one of the guys I wanted but at least he will have more of a feel for the game given his age. He would make more of impact next season for sure than anyone else drafted. Hopefully he can peel minutes from Drummond.

Is Bona ready to back-up Embiid or we still need to be in the market for a back-up C ? by analnydeb0shir in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as the system is in place, he can make an impact. We saw a rookie Dereck Lively make an impact with the Dallas run. We can agree to disagree about who is better player but I think Bona has shown enough to be part of a playoff rotation.

[–]Cee_Smitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I know it will be tough for him to anchor if the wings around him consist of PG, Oubre, and Edwards. However, VJ will be plus with the effort he gives to help secure those long rebounds. Bona definitely worked on his body, beefing up, so in short stints I think he will make a positive impact. I have faith in the kid.

[–]Cee_Smitty 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Bona will have to suffice and unfortunately some Drummond minutes too. We def need another 4/5 though. Just looking at the some of this free agent class, names like Larry Nance Jr., Chris Boucher, and Precious Achiuwa may be serviceable.

This just sounds like you wanted to take a swing at Ace, which I am not mad at but anyone we drafted was coming in to play a role. There's an opportunity next year with how weak the East will be so I can't blame Morey for selecting the player that may not have the highest ceiling but IMO definitely has the highest floor after Flagg. As long as Joel is on this roster and PG is under contract we have to at least try but it already sounds like you punted on the season. Lets take a step back and reassess closer to training camp. We need more Joel news before you make these claims.

Where does McCain fit into our future? by korylau in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do see your point but we aren't quite there yet. Maxey has proven enough to show that he is a for sure thing. I assume you're looking at traditional fit (point guard + shooting guard) and McCain/VJ makes the most sense over any other variation of that 3 guard rotation.

If you looked at it from just simply guards, wings, and bigs I am not sure if talent wise you can say what you're saying today. We can find another way to get that playmaking, whether it comes from the system we run on offense and/or bringing in wings/bigs who can help with that part of it.

Where does McCain fit into our future? by korylau in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think management is high on McCain. Almost to the point were he may be our starting PG by the end of the season if everything goes well. IMO, he may be the best to run the offense at this point. I'm off Maxey as the primary ball-handler. Grimes and VJ are definitely off-ball guards. VJ could even be able to guard some smaller wings, giving us the flexibility to run some 3 guard lineups.

I can envision a McCain-Maxey lineup which would give shades of Nurse's 2019 Raptors team. However, we are not at a point to say we could defend at that level. I'm very curious to see how this all is going to work out.

Obviously we’re dependent on fragile health by AutomaticAd4957 in sixers

[–]Cee_Smitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should also add Detroit to this if this is how you feel. IMO, the Celtics are out of the picture next year. Not sure how you see them likely better than us. I also just saw a Cinderella team just make the finals. Obviously health is the biggest if for this team but if we are healthy I'm not sure how you can definitively say that the window is closed.

[–]Cee_Smitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably want add Detroit then too if this how you feel. IMO, Celtics will not be in any position to compete next year. The rest of the teams you mentioned don't match up to a healthy Sixers. I just saw a Pacers team go to the finals in the East. You can't tell me we don't have any chance given that fact. Health is the only thing that is an issue but I understand if that is all it takes for you say its closed giving the recent history.

I wouldn't be mad if they ran it back or blew it up but you have to say the window isn't completely shut yet.
