It's for the BAE, so not bad at all.

Trade coming for sure.

Philly is really not trying to keep anyone. They want two max slots or something? They really going to sacrifice another year of Embiid’s prime by the oft chance they get someone a year from now?

Any option on the contract?

He was bench fodder for them anyways.

I don't know anything about this guy admittedly but it doesn't seem like he's a knockdown 3pt shooter. Not sure I get the signing.

There's no minutes for him with Nurse giving PJ Tucker 46 a night.

Seems like a good idea. Stats aren't bad, FT% suggests he might be able to hit some more 3s than he has so far.

Solid depth for 4.5M, which we will need if we turn Porter, Boucher and Thad and a first into a new starting PG.

Wrong brother. Jaden has some serious upside and can actually make somee 3's.

Yes for sure but they let more go than just him. I no none of them is particularly compelling but in total their depth is reduced.

Decent signing if the goal is to gather young talent with upside. If they believe we’re Finals bound I don’t get this signing at all lol. He’s 11th man/non rotation on a good team

This is a longboi move...we are in it now!

DreamTeam09 · Post #55 » by **DreamTeam09** » Sat Jul 1, 2023 11:14 pm

I like it, he's actually solid depth

Schroder
Dick/OPJ
McDaniels
Precious
Koloko

Way better bench the. We've had in the past

Both years player option.

Guys this is low key a nice signing. He fits into any timeline and he can really defend multiple positions. Can he make corner 3s consistently? Probably not.

I believe we were at the deadline.

He's 25 and lol 6'9. But it's not a bad flyer for a bench SF. Still we're loaded at the forward spot with little guard depth again this year. There has to be a trade coming to clear the logjam.

Hits 40% of his threes but only takes 1 per game.

40% on the sixers in only 24 games. Career 34%, pretty terrible.
