This annoys me.

brett has been talking about how he would like (and Jah & Embiid would like) to play together. BUT it has not been possible due to minutes restrictions and lack of bigs. NOW we have Embiid, Jah, and Noel soon to be available, but we can't find minutes to play him? Really?

I know he wants to finally win games, and Illy in the starting line up @4 has been good for Embiid. But, Illy isn't a long term piece, Jah maybe is. I think you bite the bullet, run Jah & Embiid together, and then move Dario up to the SF in a line up with with Illy/Noel off the bench.

Sergio-Henderson-Roco-Jah-Embiid
Bayless-Nik-Saric-Illy-Noel

TJ/Hollis/Holmes fight for 3rd string minutes for a little bit, you have to think long term here, and if you don't try these combo's now, we could really end up regretting the guy we keep/move down the road.

You're not the first person to express those sentiments. Can try it to see how well/if it works, then go from there.

Some good news, I like that. Whether it will be successful or not is another question. Any news on Simmons?
