I disagree. KAT and Tatum don't fit.  KAT doesn't want to play center.  Tatum and him want to play the same position.  Celtics would still have no defense at the center position and no distributor.  I actually think it would be a parallel move for them.  For that reason I'm all for that trade.

I think they’d play KAT at the 4 as a stretch big with moving horford to the 5. They are forced to have horford at the 4 in their starting lineup cause of Williams is strictly a 5. I think horford is best suited to play the 5. You’d have to make Schroeder and smart as your perimeter cause they don’t have anything better unless they go Richardson which is a mistake and Tatum as the SF. Do i think it makes them better? Questionable but i do think KAT at the four and moving horford to the 5 is better than what they are doing with horford right now. Frankly if i were the Celtics I’d try to get malik Beasley in that deal somehow. That way i go smart, Beasley, Tatum, KAT and horford as my starters. If they somehow pulled off malik in that deal I’d argue that’s a better starting lineup then what they are going with currently. 

You know who would be perfect in this lineup? 

Jimmy Butler 🤨

I don’t think they deal him but just saying he’s not going to be like "hey we told him we are shopping him” to the media. 

I think Simmons for Ingram would be great, send him back to that swamp known as New Orleans to a crappy team, will seem like college all over again for Simmons!

I'm not sure what the cap looked like back then but losing Butler was a major mistake.

On the surface it looked like it was between him,  or Harris getting paid.  But it really came down to Butler or Simmons, and they chose Simmons. They didn't get along so they let Butler go and paid Harris.

Mistake.  I can't think of any other Philly professional player from any sport who's been a bigger overall disappointment than Simmons.

Is Springer a bust? I mean how bad does he have to be to not get some run when the team is depleted??

His offense didnt even look good in the summer league. Hes nowhere near ready. Im not sure he will ever have adequate offense to play his position. Hes not a bust, YET though because I think the team knew this. Hes only 19 years old and is expected to be a project.

Yeah… Embiid all but confirmed that Ben was the reason they lost Butler.

It was but a huge mistake was signing horford. It was the last time we were going to have significant cap space. And we used it on a over the hill center that the analytics said he was better at center and declining. All they have to show for signing horford is Danny green and giving up a pick to move horford 

I think we also should have resigned TJ McConnell. 

He has developed into a solid backup PG..... Averaging 10.5 points while shooting 41% from 3 and was among the league leaders in steals last season.

You can thank Brand for all that

Tom McGinnis!!! 

maxey is looking awesome right now. 2 finishes, and a great feed to Harris. Making plays every time down the court.

My god. Drummond just has no touch at all. But isnt it crazy, a center can actually receive the ball in the low post? wow. Wish Embiid would do that.

Drummond is killing us on offense right now. 

wow Harris is on fire so far.

Kork looks like he is still gonna be slumping. 

Am at the game. This offense sucks and doc has no plan. Reminds of our tanking offense with nothing but dribble handoffs 25-30 ft from the rim

yeah this is the worst theyve looked all year. I get that Indiana is shooting a ridiculous % right now from the floor and the score is more lopsided than it should be. But.... 6ers arent playing well either.

Shake and Paul Reed dont belong on the floor outside of blowout situations. Doc needs to make a move. Not even necessarily a Simmons move. Trade Shake and something for a guard.

Holiday has 19 points in 8 minutes. And they are shooting over 72% from 3, and over 77% from the floor. 

We need Embiid back
