That’s a little steep. I’d prefer to keep Thybulle. If he can get that 3 point shot to be more consistent he’s basically Covington, but an even better defender. The future firsts I am ok with, and though I like Maxey’s potential I’d be ok including him. But I’d prefer to give up another piece besides Matisse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a 25 year old who is averaging 28 ppg, 5.1 assists, 5 rebounds, 43.5% from 3 on 7.9 attempts, 85% from FT on 6 attempts for just that? Absolutely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about thinking your assets are more valuable than they are. 1st round picks should be late 20s and odds are the player you draft is nothing more than a rotation guy. Maxey isn't some amazing rookie lighting the world on fire, and you just compared Thybulle to a better Covington. Covington isn't a Top 50 in the league right now. But this is too much for LaVine, come on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is too much for LaVine, come on All I’m saying is I would much rather include another piece than Thybulle. Hell I’d include Shake rather than Matisse. LaVine is a great offensive player but his defense is pretty awful. Thybulle brings that elite defense that you’re not getting out of anyone outside of Simmons and Embiid right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYEagle Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm on the phone now with the GM from Chicago...please hold, I'll let everyone know if he is good with my offer!! Because yes....I would do it in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Wizards are not engaging teams who call about Beal. Thunder are interested in trading Horford. Clippers are interested in Rozier, as we should be too. Magic consider Fultz and Isaac as their only untouchables. Thats weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what it would take to get Rozier. 6th man of the year if he would accept that role. Show him what Clarkson just signed an extension for, 4/51, and he can still play big minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 As weird as this may sound, I almost feel like it's a detriment when Kork has a few good games. It's like he starts thinking he's better than he actually is, and forces even more stupid shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsFanBill Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Harris just basically took over this game and got the W on offense and defense. Impressive game from him he’s now on quite the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider their all around games (offense, defense, rebounding, etc) it’s basically a lateral move. Add in the fact that Harris really seems to be developing that closer mentality, and it would be dumb to move him. For whatever reason, this is a guy who just thrives playing under Rivers.

I think Harris is becoming that guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEagles4Life Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Danny Green has to know he is holding this team back. You can't have your starter consistently give nothing, but 3ppg in 28 minutes this last month. And playing Kork in clutch minutes is NOT the answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my thought. If Brett Brown was still the coach then Lavine is a clear upgrade over Tobias. However, Toby under Doc's coaching makes it a wash.

therealdawk Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 BTW, If you listen to Toby's post game interview with Zumoff he was subtle about it but basically mentioned that the direct match up with All Star Julius Randell meant a lot to him. Toby wanted to prove a point tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just getting Wayne Ellington and putting him into the starting lineup would be such an upgrade over Danny green’s inconsistency. It is absolutely ridiculous that like one out of every three games Danny Green is giving you 0-5 points and he’s shooting horribly when doing so. i’ve said this before but if Danny Green is giving you nothing offensively then you should just go with thybulle because he gives you better defense than what Green is going to give you at this stage of his career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very strong and some of Harris best games have come when he can exploit a miss match in the post. Impressive game last night for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
