Re: Welcome Zhaire Smith
That’s an unprotected pick, right?
If true then this is awesome.

This is so dirty to the Bridges family but it's worth it. Total Hinkie move I love it.

I'm sad man.....this is so messed up. An unprotected pick for a treadmill team that will probably be bad for awhile sounds good though. We'll see.

Re: Welcome Zhaire Smith
I don’t know... I hate Smith though. He’s so developmental. I question whether he will ever have offensive value. Bridges is plug and play on both ends with room for some growth.
I’m going to look at it this way: if you had told me before the draft that the Sixers were trading 10 for 16 and the 2021 MIA 1st I’d have been satisfied.

Re: Welcome Zhaire Smith
Got a feeling before the draft that he's our guy.
His number shows he's got the potential to be a two way high impact player. Thus BB's comparison to Kawhi.
He was asked for try out for the second time, tells me they were intrigued with him.
He has upside with shooting stroke/mechanics add that to his elite D and elite athleticism.
My biggest fear was him becoming KJ McDaniel 2.0

Zhaire played as a big when he was young, thus he never developed his guard skill.
I expect him to be a near perfect 1-3 two man partner for Ben as a roll man or a guy who can pop out and shoot 3s. While providing great D
Great article on smith

So either a high impact role player or a high upside potential star player.

There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

I agree that Brett is probably going to make a
move for Kawhi and try to talk him into staying.
So what are they giving up: Covington, Bayless, 26, 2021 MIA 1st?

Re: Welcome Zhaire Smith
Best part is that the sixers obviously loved Smith and the trade was contingent on him being there.
But im sure the sixers would have been super happy with Mikal, but since Smith was available the pulled the trigger and got the miami pick. This was textbook negotiation 101

Mikal and Knox. So basically we selected two of the guys he said the 76ers were interested in and the other one wasn't on the board. 200% strike rate.
