Honestly?   I think Maxey can become Lillard at this point.....

This is probably the only way you make that work, and it's a wash......   Unless they can sign a good 3 and D wing or Stretch 4 with the Harden money if he doesn't come back.

 

Yeah not willing to deal maxey in that deal. I think you have to try to get a 3 way deal with tobias as an expiring contract, include whatever picks we can and use harden as part of it going back to the rockets. Even then i don’t see the sixers being able to get it done.

Not trading him for Lillard at this point in their careers.

Lillard was better than Aldridge in his 3rd year in the league. Maxey doesn't have to be the man with Embiid and some of Harden taking the attention. 

I wouldn't make the trade though. 

Donovan Mitchell is a better comp for his ceiling. 

Basically LCL really affects his rotational power and it can get worse.

extremely rare to have an isolated LCL injury. Would bet he has some kind of offseason surgery, if he even makes it till then.

Jimmy was on a heater 

Jimmy Buckets is possessed right now

Sickening to know that we had that dude on our team and let him go 

Butler as the #1 option is not a championship team.

The list of true #1 in the league is tiny: Giannis, LeBron, Steph, KD, Tatum, Kawhi (if healthy)

Jimmy

Potential to be 

Jokic, Embiid, Booker, Luka, Ja, SGA, Ant (maybe), Paolo, Wemby

Playoff Butler belongs on that list. This Heat team is bad with Herro, who is hurt, and Bam, who can't get anything over Brook. Made to the Finals in 2020 with a rookie Herro and Dragic going crazy in the bubble. 

Last year, Butler was a missed 3 from carrying that team to the finals scoring 47 and 35 in Games 6 and 7. He does everything you ask for a number one dude to do, his supporting casts have been not great to bad, and yet during playoffs he will carry a team. Giannis still may have something about the Heat going home, but doesn't diminish what he doss. 

 

Too bad the NBA doesn't re-seed lol

 

Saw this movie so many times already.  When will Netflix remove it from their on-demand schedule?  

looks like another year of watching round 2 like this:  

Even with a fully healthy Embiid they weren't beating Boston anyway 

 

 

 

Didn't Embiid have the same injury a couple years back?

I think this all depends on the severity of the sprain.

Grade 1 tear is a few days to a week and a half recovery timeline. Grade 2 tear is a 2-4 recovery timeline. 

Assuming Boston clinches tonight, If it’s a grade 1 tear, I’d imagine he’d be fine for game 1, and if they want to be precautious, game 2. If it’s a grade 2, tear I don’t think we see Embiid to game 3.

Would be HUGE If the Hawks could pull one out tonight. In that case, I don’t think Embiid would miss any time.

Kyle neubeck had an article yesterday that was actually worth reading. If the Celtics win tonight the series starts earlier but the nba is more likely to give more days off in between games 2 to 3. Like basically 3 nights off and then 2 days between game 6 and 7. However if the Celtics hawks series is extended and the series starts a few days later then the sixers-Celtics series is likely going to every other day format games 1-4 2 days off between game 4 and 5 and game 6 and 7.

If it's not going to be healed,  you want more days between games. If it's minor enough that it can be healed,  the days between games are worthless, and you just want the series to start later to give it more time to get to 100%.

With Embiid, I'd bet on it not being healed.
