You honestly think Harden is coming here to be off ball? 

No, but when he needs a break Maxey runs the point. That is what I was getting at and unless one gets injured I don't think there is a reason to bring someone else to run point.

maxey will run the point when harden is on the bench. i think that's what mat was saying.

I understand why we need a better backup center but i think Gary Harris provides more to the sixers in the playoffs then getting a backup center especially if it’s someone like favors. In the atlanta series last year, embiid averaged 37.4 mins per game. So you are getting 10-11 mins from your backup center in the postseason. If you stagger harden and embiid for parts of the game so one is always on the court (eventually both out there but make sure at all times one is) offensively i think you can survive with millsap and reed. even if it’s favors I don’t think he improves your rebounding enough as someone like Harris can give you offense and defense (his defensive rating down but i think that’s more due to being in Orlando)  

If Harris is released he gives you a three and d guy. Thybulle is still a liability as a shooter and Danny green (who is a good stand in the corner and shoot the 3) but isn’t nearly the defender he once was. I think the potential upside down the road in the playoffs with Harris would be higher than with favors. Problem is there’s conflicting reports Orlando may just keep him. Add on getting him to choose here over other places. 

I think Millsap is washed, so is Favors. I think if they bring 2 guys in one should be a 3 and D wing and the other someone that can play the 4/5. Reed will be a high energy guy, but if they can an upgrade that would be a bonus.

 

If they go with one I'd take the wing upgrade and live with what they have behind Embiid.

Working on his jump shot and free throws!!  God, I just want him to come to the Wells Fargo Center and every time he touches the ball, the crowd should in unison go "SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT" chant and when on the line "BRICK, BRICK, BRICK"......Like the Vikings "SKOAL" chant but you know.....shoot, shoot, shoot....brick, brick, brick lol

The next Simmons. All about a players league but Zion fat Fing ass is pushing the limits. JJ is a guy that didn't like the Pelicans nor their GM so some if statements

 

 

 

He any good?

Guess they struck out on buyouts.

I'd like to see a 10 day contract for tyreke Evans. 

This seems like one of the thinnest but out seasons I can recall. 

He is a rim running big so makes sense to match him with Harden aka Capela role when with Rockets

yeah. We had hope that Embiid and Simmons being here would attract a star to complete the trifecta. But it didnt. Maybe thats because they were both egotistical and wanted to be the main man.

Now, maybe with Embiid maturing, and Harden instead of Simmons, maybe that changes. It seems like Embiid still wants to be the man. But he has finally actually earned the right to claim this team. And even Harden has said he is just here to add to what we already have. 

I don't think to many players in the league care for Harden either. He isn't like most other players you hear about him being friends with and wanting to play together with so and so. Maybe it's the staying up all night at strip clubs that any serious player looking to win championships that rubs players the wrong way. 

I was reading an article the other day saying Harden is going to have a hard time finding someone to talk for him at his hall of fame ceremony lol. Maybe Morey can jack him off at the podium

good signing....turrible braids.

The quality of Mitchell and ness jerseys has gone downhill over the last 10 years. Frankly fanatics/sports memorabilia have horrific customer service.

Fanatics absolutely blows agreed there. They send the wrong sheet all the effing time or nothing at all. The 2 main affiliates to help fund the message board I refuse to buy from lol.

Yup. I was super pissed about the game used brooks jersey being wrong. I was actually going to try to get all 5 starting olineman from the super bowl. I had it set up to do it and then they Fed it up.

I ordered a couch cover with the Eagles logo on it. So my animals don't eff up my couch lol .... Long story short they tried sending it 6 times, yes you read that right 6 times!! They said they lost it 5 out of the 6 times.... The 6th time they finally realized they never even had any lmao! Idiots!

Also my super bowl blanket was just a regular eagles blanket.

Sounds about right. They suck. Their customer service is as bad as them knowing what they had in stock and sending it to you. I’m hoping the nfl partners more with Amazon if bezos buys the team cause i think Amazon would take a lot of the stuff from fanatics nfl wise

Ugh I hate Amazon too lol. They do a great job but, they are like rooting for peak belichick and Brady lol. They would have zero issue shutting down every business on the planet and only have them to buy from. That I will not support. Not that he needs my money, he's just evil lol

I seem to remember a few years where he would have hot streaks with near triple doubles in a lot of games. Not a big scorer, but he can contribute in various stat categories, and he was athletic. He could defend his position out to the perimeter so a stretch big is not an issue for him. 

People seem to think this will be a great fit for Harden's propensity to throw lobs. 

I dont know how athletic he still is. But if he can protect the rim, rebound, and catch lobs we should be in good shape. If he could do all that, Im not sure why he has been a free agent all year. 

WCS is still only 28. So he should still be plenty athletic. 

He was waived January 15th. I assumed he was a free agent all year. 

For some reason his per 36 numbers are pathetic this year. 

Jevon Carter plans to sign with the bucks. So, Vincenzo is injured, and they still got a defensive dawg coming to replace him.

reportedly rockers and Schroder are unlikely to pursue a buyout.

He never developed any skills. He is just big.

hes big, and athletic. And was a decent player with the kings for a few years. 

He never developed offense. But he could block shots and catch lobs, and defend pretty well. 

Regardless, it makes no sense how his per 36 plummeted this year. He should still be plenty athletic at 28 years old.
