They could have held onto Russell and pawned him off on frustrated teams that couldn't pry Beal and Lavine away via trade.

Locking into Wiggins seemed baffling. Also, they just passed on LaMelo Ball for a big that can't play defense. I don't trust them in making a good pick with that Minny 1st rounder, anyway. Bob Myers sucks.

Turn up the hotseat on Brad Stevens. He's a completely different personality than Thibs, but shares a similar quality. And that is that they're both defensive coordinators that suck as head coaches.

Starting to believe Jerry West made all of the decisions during his time there. They haven't done one smart thing since he left.

Nesmith played 21 minutes and only attempted 2 fga? Damn, what's up with dude? Is there some kind of mental thing causing him to be a bust up to this point?

Yup. And a Philly-related analogy I'll connect is...

Jerry West is to Pat Gillick as Bob Myers is to Ruben Amaro Jr.

Doc and Ben should watch heat films and find a way like how Heat makes Bam useful in crunch time. A lot of DHO plays with inverted screens that opens up opportunistic scoring options for Bam.

Tobi has to add more muscle. Honestly, I look at him more like a SG with his 6’7 length and shooting touch. He should watch more of how Jimmy plays using off arms and legs to create space. He also has to add a lot of muscle. The difference with him and Jimmy is Jimmy gets more high % shots in the paint off drives where as Tobi likes to just jack it up. What Tobi’s advantage over Jimmy is a little bit of length and a lot more shooting.


Tobi doesnt have the first step and ball handling ability that Jimmy has even after jim has lost a bit of quickness.

Doesnt have the passing, better scorer in a general sense. Way higher offensive rating for a good reason, way stronger , better shot creator/maker
elite as heck free throw rate
Also defense is poles apart.

My question is legit in what regard? Does he have sources on who will be the next mayor of New York City? Is his source pool bottomless? Or... maybe people were talking about it being "almost done" () and he threw his hat into the ring for that sweet, sweet clout.

In today’s NBA, you just need to have decent handles and good shooting to get by people (i.e doncic or brogdon).

Restricted Area
Jimmy 4.8
Jojo 4.6 attempts
Tobias 4.0 attempts

In the paint non restricted area
Jimmy 4.1
Jojo 4.5 attempts
Tobias 4.2 attempts

The problem with Tobi is he shies away from contact while Jimmy (or Doncic) tries to attract contact.

That one nobody knows.

Like i’d take his info with grain of salt but i wouldnt completely just disregard it.

It just depends on how many info you can take. If you just want less noise then rely on the guys who knows how to play the insider game like woj.

Free throw rate, yes. Jimmy tries to absorb contact and likes to get to the line. Tobi tries to shy away from contact and tries to shoot it cleanly.

Defense, jimmy’s defense is overrated but maybe is better than Tobi. Guys like Kemba and Kawhi lit him up.

I suppose my question to you is, would you believe me if I randomly started saying I have a newfound source of NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB information and post rumors every so often on here?

Where is the line of credibility? I am 100% confident that I can do the same thing that Mr. Fosh does if I sat at my computer all day reading rumors.

It really depends on you.


When it comes to inside info, you have to understand how it works. Like if your source is the janitor who serves coffee to the war room of daryl morey, then you get the same quality of info as vinfosh. But if your source is Morey himself, then you get a higher quality info. In this scenario, Considering Woj as an “legit insider” compared to vin is subjective.

I’d repeat. I’d take vinfosh’s info with a grain of salt. But I personally wouldnt completely just disregard it.

He's admitted that he's just playing with people like a dozen times though... I would disregard it because anything he's saying that's legit you can probably just find on the hoopshype rumor page like he did (and that way you don't have to deal with the stuff he's just making up)...

The Sixers are the only team in the East that would be on pace to win 50 or more games if translated to an 82 game season. Last year's Eastern conference representative is currently on pace for what would be a 31 win season. Weird year.
