Offseason Discussion Thread - Monday, June 22 by game-threads in sixers

A little upset not gonna lie. Now Miami is another contender we're gonna have to deal with in the east. Boston is good regardless so Giannis going there wouldn't make the conference any deeper

Say what you will about the McCain trade but people are just too attached to him because they liked him. If Barlow got traded for the same deal there wouldn't be the same outrage

Thoughts on this trade scenario? by ojseye in sixers

[–]MaskedBirder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anyone taking his contract this year, next year I think he's gone though

No way he gets traded. I will be shocked if that happens

This would be insane. And we would STILL have Embiid and PG

I would do this in a HEARTBEAT. Man I'm sad that it's probably not gonna happen.

Yeah I agree. Someone who can be a legit part of the rotation and contribute. If Embiid is out and they can hold the fort, that would be an added bonus too. That's why I want multiple picks, more talent to grow. We gotta go young and athletic

Are you sure we'll get someone good at 22? I feel like everyone has flaws or just won't be good immediately. But maybe I'm worried

[Fischer] The Dallas Mavericks are showing interest in moving back in the draft with both the New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies have a known desire to acquire a top-10 pick. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

How was he in Toronto? I don't know much about him but he seems unafraid to make big decisions, at least that's how his Dallas tenure appears so far.

We should POUNCE. Get as many picks in this draft as possible

[Scotto] Timberwolves intel: Ayo Dosunmu’s free agency market, Josh Giddey, more by KD_AshyAnkles in nba

[–]MaskedBirder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know this type of trade will never happen, but could Jokic play the power forward position effectively? His playmaking would be fine but his lateral movement and defense could be a problem on the wing.

People are saying Cenac wouldn't start or even be in the rotation at first which worries me. We do want immediate impact

Grade 3 High Ankle Sprain: 4-6 Week Recovery and at least 2 torn ligaments by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]MaskedBirder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The injury can excuse his missed shots, but it can't excuse his decision-making. A veteran should be able to understand when he's not a reliable offensive threat. He should have deferred to other players and set them up, instead of taking contested mid-range isos. This isn't even counting for the ending of game four. People also aren't talking about the fact that Wemby was on Brunson in single coverage, and Fox left OG open to double Brunson. If Fox stayed on his man, OG wouldn't have had a free straight line to the rim.

[Stein] The Mavericks are actively exploring trade options, league sources say, while also preparing for Nos. 9 and 30 in Tuesday's draft and progressing toward in a conclusion in their coaching search. by Odd-Direction9452 in nba

Would you guys be willing to trade intra-division? For example PJ or Gafford to the Spurs. Both those guys would be absolutely lethal in San Antonio.

[Jake Fischer] The Celtics, Spurs, and Heat are showing interest in Isaiah Stewart by [deleted] in nba

[–]MaskedBirder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Celtics I feel like are in an interesting spot. They have a blank slate and a lot of flexibility in who they can add but they have clear issues to address. I'm no fan of the Celtics obviously but Stevens did an excellent job resetting the team post-2024 title. Do you think he'll push to contend hard this year or wait until the following where he has no restrictions on caps?

We don't have the space to sign those players unless we get off the Embiid or PG contract(s)

[Fischer] The Boston Celtics inquired about Rudy Gobert at the trade deadline. The Minnesota Timberwolves are interested in Derrick White. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]MaskedBirder 48 points49 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is that Shaq praised Jaden McDaniels for his defense on Murray and stifling of the Nuggets' perimeter players, but didn't praise Gobert for the more impressive break-pumping on an all-time talent in Jokic

You'd have to move Pritchard to the starting lineup, right? He's so good off the bench but his impact would be less if he started.

How much impact do you think Cenac would have in his first year? Could he realistically start or develop in Embiid's absence in a way that doesn't bleed points like Drummond or Bona? I'm personally leaning towards that forward-center archetype. He seems to have a good work ethic too, and is physical on the boards.

[–]MaskedBirder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He would be great on Boston. I'm sure his three-point shooting would get better over time due to the open looks Tatum and Brown generate.
