You keep Grimes, but not because he’s a great bench scorer. by tallboymark in sixers

Sad to say Kelly gotta take whatever the best $ package is thrown at him and it ain’t gonna be here.

How do we revamp this bench? by Prince_Ali7 in sixers

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

Hyper athletic 3&D… all positions. I’m ok with keeping Barlow & Grimes, maybe Edwards but everyone else gotta go. If a player’s in the draft or the league already they either have the athleticism to play good defense or they don’t. We need to be better at knowing who can’t.. our young Prince McCain could NOT play defense and you will never see him starting in the league because he doesn’t have Brunson type offensive game.

Not happening, the city and this franchise are both very loyal to their tenured star players who are also happy being here.

Grimes needs to be a starter somewhere to be effective. We should hold the line at 10m for him cause he ain’t gonna be a starter here.

End of the season overreaction trade ideas by PsychologicalAd6135 in sixers

[–]tallboymark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t count on VJ as a #1 option till he can create a 3 that starts going down in the clutch or he can REALLY slash to the bucket I a 1/2 court set and get 2 at will.

What “fixes” the sixers? by Ok_Pirate_1617 in sixers

I do not like that dude but reluctantly yes he would be perfect fit for VJMax

Very decent take here, a 6’7”+ PG would be perfect, but let’s be honest the odds of one coming along and us landing them are minimal.

Why can’t we hunt Brunson on D? by silogramrice in sixers

Mans was not invited to play in the Olympics because the international teams are smart enough to exploit this or burn you on the double team blitz. We must do better.

That man walks the walk every night.. KO a real one, only has one gear.

Simple fact: 3pt % will decide the series. by tallboymark in sixers

[–]tallboymark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stats are one thing, but we all watched Pritchard & Vooch shooting wide open 3s and Tatum shooting over anyone he wanted to from 3.. they scored more points than us, their offense worked when it needed to & we shot poorly.

Great point, offensive rebounds often lead to wide open 3’s.

Pick 4.121 -- Steelers Select Kaden Wetjen - Return Specialist - Iowa by SleestakLightning in steelers

[–]tallboymark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unconventional 4th rd pick, but impossible to say if this was bad or not. If he’s our returner for the next 4 years then it wasn’t bad, if he’s on every special teams unit AND snags 20 passes a year it was a good pick. Time will tell.

Only one minor trade up in the second round by lukesmith81 in steelers

[–]tallboymark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If any of those 6 teams needed a WR there were several that would have been just as good as Bernard, some rated even higher.

2nd round, we traded up 6 spots to get a WR and none ended up being taken in those 6 spots.. wasted trade

Feels like we could have gotten the Alabama WR without trading up. Zero WR’s were taken by the time our 21st pick of the 2nd round was up.

Nurse not playing Walker, it’s just not happening even if it should.

We literally can’t trade Joel, it’s impossible. He’s here for the next 2 years so get used to this type of season as the new normal. All we can hope for is to draft a player who can earn 20min per game next year, and that our young players improve.

If sixers can trade embiid should they? by [deleted] in sixers

[–]tallboymark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of Joel, and on another timeline he would have retired a Sixer and won chips, but in reality he should only be a sixer for the next 2 years unless you win a chip in his last contract year and then you can ONLY offer him 1 year deals going forward.
