Who will likely replace Danny Green in the starting lineup?

[stormi]

I really think playing Reed or Bassey next to Embiid a bit more often (and the other at the 5 when not with Embiid) will go a long way to helping our rebounding.

Absolutely our rebounding was the pits last season. Fix that and this team is a lot better in short fashion.

All he really needs is a corner 3 ball and a coach that believes in him, because with him in the game instead of that popeyes addict on a max, you have a vastly improved rebounding unit, improved rim protection and the makings of a lockdown forward defender.

Can run the Capela role as the screener alongside Harden in the HC as well.

Reed, Springer and Bassey are all huge talents. Pittance they're trapped behind garbage like De'Andre Jordan, Tobias Harris, Furkan Korkmaz etc.

How do you guys feel about Joe Ingles for the league minimum if he's healthy? Smart player and can hit a 3. Don't know about his defense though.

[stormi]

I'd take Jingles on a minimum just to have another body around. If anything, the fact that he was never really all that reliant on speed should serve him better post injury. If he's still hobbled though he might just ultimately end up being another Niang.

Super versatile player though on his day.

If we don't make an addition I'd play with an Embiid-Reed-Harris front court. Reed offers enough defensive flexibility to make it work if Harris will continue to be a willing shooter that he was during the end of the year. I doubt that Harris has truly turned a corner in that regard though, too much data to suggest otherwise.

I'd love it but I think both Ingles and the Jazz have been angling for the reunion since the trade basically. He was only traded because he got hurt and the Jazz needed immediate help for the playoffs.

I think he's more of a tax payer MLE target. Even off the injury, I can't see him coming here for the minimum in a league starving for long wings that can shoot.

...but yeah, he's a no brainer for the minimum. He'd start on this team as currently constructed.

How about a S&T of Ingles (~$5M) for Reed + Thybulle?

Why sign and trade when he can just be signed for the mid-level?

We’re not giving you enough. Would you like Maxey too?

[Kobblehead]

Nah, I don't want Ingles. He's going to be 35 in October and coming off major injury. Unless you're one of those types that believe in imaginary windows that make no sense, I can't see a reason to make that deal.

I'm fixated on realistic ways to replace Danny in the starting lineup. Here is my latest idea. Please give me your thoughts.

I would try to trade Matisse Thybulle for a FRP in this draft. I would target the Hawks for #16 because I think it would be high enough to draft Jalen Williams. My questions do you think the Hawks would go for this trade and do you think Williams would solve our wing problem?

Here are some notes on him Williams:

PLUSES
Mature playmaker who stays under control at all times. Selfless passer who can seamlessly pass off the dribble using either hand. On the break, he makes tremendous outlets.

Good ball-handler who has improved each year in college. Granted he played at a mid-major, but his height, feel, and vision are translatable at any level. He can facilitate pick-and-rolls and handoffs, or just keep the ball moving when he isn’t involved in an action.

He made 44.3 percent of his catch-and-shoot 3s as a junior and looked comfortable shooting in every way imaginable—off screens, handoffs, relocations, you name it. Though he didn’t shoot a high percentage in prior seasons, he always had good numbers from the line and displayed soft touch on floaters.

Talented off-the-dribble scorer who is comfortable dribbling into midrange jumpers, runners, or even 3s. At a minimum, he looks like a player who can run secondary actions and attack closeouts and mismatches.

Does all the things a role player should do, including being a headsy cutter who runs the floor hard in transition.

High-effort defender who, despite a lack of quickness, always stays active and engaged. He has a never-give-up attitude.

I love the idea of Thybulle for a FRP, but the guy I'd target at #16 would be Malaki Branham. Picking that high, go for the kid with huge upside, and make it clear to Glenn that he's playing from day one.

Problem with Branham is that I don't think he will get past Cleveland since he is from there and they have a need at his position.

Looks like the Sixers will be replacing Danny with PJ Tucker. Thoughts?

Don't love PJ needing to fill starter minutes or trying to play SF.
