I know it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but Suggs + almost any solid vet SG seems to be clearly better than Suggs + Black/Fultz at this point based on how little we're getting offensively from both Black and Fultz.

More to the point, I want to see more Suggs + Harris backcourts so we can get a feel for how Suggs can handle the role at this point in his career. If we can live with him there, that would open up the SG trade market for us instead of having to limit ourselves to looking for a PG.


Same sentiment here. Better to know what we have and later on look for an upgrade in SG. We can live with Suggs as PG since ball handling duties is evenly divided in this team.




Suggs ball handling is till not that good although it’s improved some. Not sure that’s a good idea.

I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Nah either he doing that on purpose for the cameras to mess around or something is really wrong again with his shoulders that was wild for them to even post that. That looks like hownit was 3-4 years ago...

It was Phillip who posted it not the official account. I don’t think Fultz would be doing that on purpose to mess around.

Lmao ok but this is back to Philly air balling free throws bad. Big difference from last two years whether it’s TOS or Yips it’s back and I think we can’t count on him anymore.

I feel like the East is up for grabs right now. There are no really dominant teams.

I know they faltered in their last game, but I think the Celtics will be fairly dominant

TOS never went away. He just took pressure off his shoulders when shooting by using his lower body.

I’m not optimistic now that he will return anytime soon. Praying for a miracle.

He needs momentum from his legs. The hitch has always been there. Just look at him shooting free throws.

Its just more evident now because he cant even bend his leg haha

That's literally the shooting form from Philly. I had a feeling it was more than random knee tendonitis acting up.

They aren't like the Jordan Bulls or even the Shaq Magic. Our duo of Franz and Paolo may end up better than theirs.

100%. That hitch is him temporarily losing feeling/control in either one or both arms.

Clearly aggravated and causing him issues, possibly occurred during the b2b we had.

Either way, this makes our decision on his future a bit easier, due to the fact that his TOS is clearly an ongoing injury that any risk/benefit analysis will need to account for.

Really, really sucks to see. The only bright side is now we can revel in the "fake injury/it's mental" crowd having to eat crow.
