if they can trade role players and pick/swaps to improve the team they should do it. go over the apron. do whatever. this is the year.


They’re already better than us and if they can get a semi healthy Paul George they’d sweep us pretty easily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah this is our only chance with the east being so weak. But even then the teams coming out of the west look tuff. And I thought we might have had a year or two more before we had to seriously worry about wemby but my calculations might have been wrong.

wemby is ready now but there's too many young guys on that team to make it to the finals this year. he has to put up 35 a game for them to be competitive right now. it's too soon for them. unless they make some trades.

I tend to agree. I have no idea why they paired Fox with him. Thdy should have went with a middleton type of wing. Hell they should have went with Lavine over Fox.

Just hope they dont get Giannis cause then ill be forced to start watching the premier league.

i'm not a fox fan either. seemed very out of character for that team to even go after him. he's not their type of player.

I'll be surprised if Wemby can play a full season healthy with the way he drives and attacks at his size. Had the same worries about Porzingis, just so vulnerable to players crashing under their legs.

I wouldn't say that I believe in the Sixers. Especially since Embiid is so questionable. But Edgecombe is really nice. Very disciplined for a rookie.

Maxey, Edgecomb, McCain and Grimes....is there a better quartet of guards in the NBA?

Remember when the Knicks were the up and coming feelgood story in the NBA? Me neither...

All they need is a SF.
