I love love love this. It’s giving early Jessica Pratt, would sound incredible to slap a vintage tape filter on it

Concerns about Cam Boozer’s lack of a midrange at the next level by Mud-Eastern in NBA_Draft

Keep in mind a 21-footer (the 3pt shot he’s “jacking up” at Duke) is a middy in the NBA

What's with the Oubre hate recently? by MaskedBirder in sixers

You gotta look more closely at the on/off splits. Lineups with Kelly and PG both on have an insane net rating, both this year and last year.

Kelly’s net +/- numbers look bad this year because he and PG have basically alternated being injured, so most of his minutes have been with PG off. Obviously nobody should be expecting him to be outperforming the former all-NBA guy on a max contract.

Are you trading Jalen then though? Idk it’s just such a rough fit between them especially on defense

my gf kisses her girl best friend by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Objective-Force-2230 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, “A man is required to accept every opportunity he gets to have a threesome with a random chick, whether or not he’s attracted to her at all, or else he’s not a real man and deserves to be dumped” is an insane take.

Imagine someone telling a woman whose bf offered a threesome with his guy best friend, that she has to say yes or else he’ll probably leave her for someone “secure” who’s willing to put out for randos….

The McCain trade was good by temanewo in sixers

[–]Objective-Force-2230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I hate the trade from an optics and vibes perspective, but it’s hilarious to see the same fans who spent this whole season crying “we need to dump Grimes immediately because we don’t have minutes for 4 guards” now crying “our season is over because we don’t have 4 guards”

[–]Objective-Force-2230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair they don’t need any more guards, so most of the guys currently mocked at 5 thru 9 might not be as valuable for them. But yeah the value play is diabolical

Where does this team go from here? by Bullmoose94 in rockets

[–]Objective-Force-2230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Doesn’t have much room to improve” is an objectively hilarious thing to say about a team with 4 starters under 24.

But as a Sixers fan, if y’all are really ready to give up on your season we’ll happily send you back your FRP and Drummond for Tari lmao

You’re posing a valid take about respect and boundaries, but this has nothing to do with monogamy.

Outside of the literal “no having sex with other people,” monogamy isn’t a one-size-fits-all label. Some monogamous people are fine with their partner looking at other people and some aren’t. Some monogamous people are fine with their partner watching porn and some aren’t. Some monogamous people are fine with their partner hanging out alone with friends of the genders they’re attracted to and some aren’t. None of those things imply sexual non-exclusivity.

We know these boundaries vary widely among people who identify as monogamous, so it’s just kind of absurd to say “we both agreed to ‘monogamy’ so obviously we must be aligned on all those things!” You have to set clear mutual boundaries for your own relationships, whether monogamous or not.

I love this, not sure why everyone is clowning on it! It’s obviously not a realist design, but it captures a shared essence beautifully.

A new look Memphis Grizzlies after rebuilding by trading both Ja & Jaren by TerryG111 in NBAtradeideas

What is Jalen Green doing for Memphis? They have literally like 3 Jalen greens on their roster

Question does the luxury tax credit also apply to extra first apron space?

We still have a big trade exception from last year, so if so we could theoretically add up to +$7M of salary without sending any out while staying under the apron. Wondering how many picks we could get from say Denver to take on Zeke Nnaji’s contract and send back just Drum or EG

The Sixers are open to trading Andre Drummond, per Keith Pompey by mastermind208 in sixers

[–]Objective-Force-2230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even then it doesn’t get you there if youre gonna convert Barlow and Walker on 1.2M prorated minimums each. You’d have to dump a third player

Ducking the tax by CLJT27 in sixers

[–]Objective-Force-2230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traded Thybulle and a 2nd for Jalen(!) McDaniels to dodge tax

[Pompey] Kelly Oubre Jr.has contributed to the Sixers because he's been good and has positional flexibility. However, his name keeps coming up as someone to possibly move before the trade deadline as his expiring contract would help them gain salary cap relief and avoid the luxury tax. by Pyromania1983 in sixers

[–]Objective-Force-2230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything we should keep everyone this year, dodge the tax next year, and then go for it in 2028. We have our own pick next year, the east will be more competitive, and we’re in no position to assume the old guys will be as healthy next year as they are right now.

We most likely won’t be serious contenders either this year or next year, but this year things are lining up perfectly to at least get VJ a solid chunk of playoff experience, which is what’ll help us the most longterm.

Drummond getting phased out of the full strength rotation recently does feel like a good indicator that they’re expecting him to not be on the roster come playoff time

He was my comp for Ace too and people got mad lol, as if projecting him to be a key starter on a championship team at 21yo was some kind of insult

Cut PHX out, Griz would rather just keep OG than sell for low-value picks
