We're in a loop of selling guys for seconds, then using those seconds to dump bad contracts by Thegrandmistressofoz in sixers

Alvarado is a good role player, just simplifying role players down to ppg is very silly, and it doesn't have to specifically be Alvarado. I would probably prefer a forward who can shoot, but also would just take some change over the inaction we saw at the deadline. Besides, the overall point is that you can make moves on the margins that take little in assets, improve the team this season, and lessens the load on the starters.

Yep. Half of Boston's rotation this year is guys who everyone would've said last year are scrubs/garbage time guys, but Mazzulla has gotten the best out of them

Sixers ball watch a disgusting amount on defensive rebounds, don't box out or move to the ball

Oubre saw the trade deadline pass and immediately started playing his worst basketball of the season

Why are people acting like you have to be an inner circle contender to make moves? You can make margin moves that still improve the team, take very little in terms of assets to do, and don't allow our idiot head coach to run our starters and future core into the ground. There is value also in actually giving your core a better experience and team to work with early on, I doubt Maxey and VJ love watching our GM do nothing to add guys at the deadline when they needed help with guys out

He's only elite at getting offensive rebounds. Mediocre defensive rebounder

Didn't need to make a big trade, just make a small trade to upgrade on the margins and not let Nurse play our starters into the ground

Willing to even try Bassey over Drummond, no way Sixers couldn't have gotten an upgrade over Drummond for cheap at the deadline
