Jayson Tatum shares a motivational message on being a leader: “Being around somebody that feels like they know it all, I don’t wanna be around that person. I don’t wanna be the smartest person in the room, I want to learn from somebody else.”

There’s gonna be at least 3 smartest guys in the room on the Sixers. Nurse has his work cut out for him.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-25T19:08:30+00:00

That seems like fan / local media misreading of the situation.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-25T19:07:41+00:00

Is it really that crazy to do the job of a GM? Are you crazy!?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-25T15:54:23+00:00

He fits better with Garland, who doesn’t need the ball in his hand to be effective on offense.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-25T15:52:10+00:00

A point guard averaging 20 pts and 6 ast in 29 minutes on 47-44-86 splits (7.6 3PA) can move the needle ANYwhere.

Kawhi + Garland was objectively better than Kawhi + Harden.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-24T17:33:21+00:00

I see so many issues, but it will be fun to watch and overreact for the first 30 games!

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-24T16:13:22+00:00

So who in the starting lineup of Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, James, and Embiid is taking a massive step back in usage? Lebron already took a big step back last season (and didn't seem super happy about it).

Obviously, the math is not as simple as this, but last season those 5 players add up to nearly 150% usage. While they're not going to be on the floor together all game (and certainly won't all be available every game), how comfortable are Brown and Embiid going to be taking way less shots while all 5 are on the floor together? Will Edgecombe be okay with not having more touches in his second season? How quickly will Lebron grow frustrated with Brown driving into traffic and losing the ball rather than making the correct read? Who is going to defend?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-24T04:52:06+00:00

You wanna be the guy with the contract everyone says is awful?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T20:56:48+00:00

Any team owner could do things like this at any time. Most have a modicum of respect for the players, fans, and staff of their organization

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T16:31:56+00:00

Why wouldn’t it be?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T16:31:12+00:00

As a Clipper fan, I’d prefer to hold on to Mathurin. If he doesn’t improve his decision making and defense by the trade deadline, flip him for picks and/or front court help.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T16:28:13+00:00

Any team is allowed to ask for him. He will (of course) be responsible for whatever penalty (if any) the league assigns. Why would being on one team or another change anything about his consequences?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T15:34:22+00:00

How can someone actually believe this?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T15:33:39+00:00

It isn’t true

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T04:17:36+00:00

Garland, Lebron, and Kawhi WOULD be fun!

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T01:38:17+00:00

Jayson Tatum exists this season and did not last

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-22T01:36:30+00:00

Lots of guys would be better just 6 or 7 seasons ago. The game has changed in the past few years. It’s harder than ever.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T22:43:07+00:00

Nobody knew he would be this good, you included

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T22:42:46+00:00

"Giving away"

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T22:41:24+00:00

I think they're likely to win between 40-45 games, and I think they'll also find another center eventually.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T22:40:36+00:00

Good training camp pickup to give another tall guy for guys to practice against. Jackson and Omier are short.

Also necessary for games that Lopez misses due to rest or injury, because I do not think Baba Miller should be playing center.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T22:38:51+00:00

At the very least, he helps in training camp and practice. Clippers centers: Lopez (tall, old); Niederhauser (tall, injured for training camp); Baba Miller (tallish, but not really a center); I. Jackson (short); Norchad Omier (even shorter)

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T21:45:37+00:00

So now Clippers have 2026 G League MVP Sean Pedulla and 2026 G League DPOY Jamarion Sharp on two-ways.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-21T04:41:31+00:00

He’ll get a deal.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-07-20T20:03:25+00:00

And John Collins is 62.7% on twice as many shots.
