Are videos of Mitchell Robinson and Goebert hitting multiple 3s in an empty gym and then never take them.Yeah. the worst NBA shooters look incredible with no defense to us normies. You can tell Bona has been working on the shot though. Form isnt looking too bad.
July 2, 20251 yr Morey should get it done with Grimes before the holiday weekend.Summer league is starting up. Put this signing to bed.Then see what we can get with the MLE before all those guys are gone.

They both will get sped up and clank.

It is a HUGE concern of mine though watching VJ Edgecombe "make his first 3" in the 6ers practice facility. I posted it in here. Bona is slow, but its not as wonky as Broome's. You can tell Bona has been working.
July 3, 20251 yr Off Topic.... Is it a violation for a Sixers fan to wear a Larry Bird Dream Team jersey on 4th of July?
July 3, 20251 yr I saw Ace a few hours ago at the SLC airport. Didn't look happy 🤣 Glad we didn't get him.

July 3, 20251 yr Grimes holding up Sixers.Make a reasonable offer and hold firm.Use your MLE on a big because we have injured part timers in Embiid and PG.If he doesn't sign, let him go. Move on.A team that is hungover on fat contracts and tight on salary cap is in a hole and should stop digging deeper.He's a backup on this team? Sixth man?Only got minutes because we were tanking.(Yabusele didn't want to be here. Grimes also doesn't want to be here. Let him go. The team is a toxic loser that caters to Embiid and PG.)

Then he either gets his guy, or doesn't and we are left with scraps.They should make an offer to Giddey and see what Grimes does then.This team with a lead guard would be nice. He might tell Joel to get in the post. He would also make the shooters like Maxey and McCain look nice. And he rebounds very well for his position.

And he is still young so he will be a valuable trade asset if there ends up being a log jam at guard in the future.

I also don't factor in any signings or future plans with Joel in mind. If he is there for a few games, so be it. However, they should be building this thing around the young guys.

If he signs elsewhere, Daryl better be sure he gets Grimes done.

Not that we are going to be a contender in the next year or two but still thinking ahead.

Last year up to 37.8% on 4 attempts which is also his highest volume. PER has increased each year. 18.1 this year. Win shares have increased every year. Box +/- and VORP have also increased each year.He appears to still be an ascending player, and still very young.
July 3, 20251 yr Apparently Omar Cooper Jr is working as a guest coach at summer league. So Ace Bailey's agent's son is coaching him.

He is an elite passer who showed last year he can shoot a little bit. He does need the ball in his hands to be successful but the kid can hoop and still has 4 or 5 years until he reaches his peak.

I think it'd be a nice fit.
