    Mitchell Robinson, Alonzo Trier, and Kevin Knox all appear to be pretty legit, too.

    I honestly think it’s going to take some time to recalibrate our idea of what “good” is based on offensive levels this year (not referring to any of those guys specifically, just in general)

    they had the normal vice jerseys last year. they were the best city jersey by far.

    i think i prefer the normal ones still but these are still really great.

    Looks like they fucking need Jimmy Butler in Philly because they just traded for him.

    sixers have 2 ball dominant guards who can't shoot, i know lets trade away 2 of the only players on the team who can actually shoot a three who are on very team friendly deals for another ball dominant guard who can't shoot and is a gigantic locker room problem on an expiring contract that we'll have to max and blow up the entire roster. hoo fucking ray.

    they might just win a championship if they can get in a time machine and travel back to the fucking 70s.

    god that trade is just trash.

    Philly wanted another superstar I guess. Not a great trade for them.

    I like the deal for Minnesota assuming the 4 picks thing was bullshit.

    If Rose keeps playing like he has Covington and Saric are exactly the kind of players they need to complement that roster.

    Plus Butler was an obvious cancer.

    he's as cooked as fultz, but just good enough that a team might think they should max him.

    inefficient points are hardly better than no points at all.

    What are you talking about? Jimmy Butler can absolutely shoot. Do you think they traded for Rose or something?

    he can shoot, but he's not a shooter. attempts 3 3s a game. covington shot 6 and saric shot 5 a game and the sixers were already a team desperately short on 3p shooting.

    This is my take too.

    Also why would you ever let Butler into the same locker room as Fultz?

  • ph blakeph blake Registered User regular
    If Butler kills Fultz and wears his skin does the team have to pay Fultz's salary?

    This could be a cost saving measure.

    Butler would cash that check for him.

    One Reddick would, that seems like a Duke thing to do.

    My guess would be they are prepared to move on from Fultz because HE can't shoot.

    If they can retain Butler and he's not a total locker room cancer this can help Philly leapfrog Boston in the East. You can get bench shooters for cheap. Cleveland will likely have a fire sale with two or three alone.

    I think Butler is smart enough to realize that the 76ers are Embiid's team. I'll be shocked if Fultz is in Philly by the all star break.

    My guess is Wiggins flourishes and Fultz is traded to like, Orlando by January.

    I think the only team that could carry him is the Warriors, and they obviously have a lot of better options. He has never been much of a veteran mentor figure, was never great on defense to begin with, and has lost the only thing that made him valuable - his shooting.

    He could very well be out of the league unless a team just wants to pick up the contract to fill up cap space or sell jerseys or something.

    I kind of want to see Melo on the 76ers, just to see how Butler, Embiid, and @Knight_ respond. It could work!

    There actually is a story on Bleacher Report that the 76ers are considering a waiver claim on Carmelo.

    There’s no source identified, but I’m pretty sure it’s Carmelo Anthony.
