Simmons, Thybulle, Maxey and a pick or two for Curry? Count me in.

Embiid and Curry do in no universe coexist on the same team.

Defense suffers, Embiid in constant foul trouble, ball taken out of Embiid's hands, Embiid would have to play the Draymond role.

Embiid plays the Embiid role.

I mean, this isnt even hard to comprehend. I worry about fans.

Curry and Embiid could easily coexist. But Curry is a Warrior lifer.

So are we all rooting for the Celtics?

Of course we are. Would be nice for those worthless bastards to help us out for once!

For some reason I'm not getting my notifications, any one else having this issue?

Normally I think people overstate it but this was particularly blatant. Of course ESPN is barely talking about it because it’s worth a fortune to them for him to play and were probably pushing the NBA to look the other way.

He has Klay coming back, and that's essentially all they need to be a very good team again. Klay being so automatic would have punished the Grizzlies every time they double or tripled Steph on the perimeter.

And he also seems like a Warriors lifer.

If Klay can come back to a reasonable facsimile of himself, he has missed two years now so it's very questionable, then the Warriors are back to being a solid playoff team. But I'm not sure just Klay gets them a top 4 seed out West. They really need to turn Wiggins and those draft picks into another star level player if they want another look at a ring.

I have a similar feeling.

Bucks are top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency and with the addition of Jrue Holiday, they probably have enough shotcreating to score consistently in the halfcourt.

Bucks are the best all-around team in the East. We could very well have a Bucks vs. Jazz/Suns Finals. Good basketball, but the ratings would be dogpoop.

I could see Myers pushing for another star to give their 3 one last window to compete using some permutation of their own picks + the Minnesota pick(s) & Wiseman

Maybe for a Siakam or something

I've literally never seen a good argument presented about two elite stars being unable to coexist when the rationality included "the ball being taken out x's hands".

If you say something definitively enough, maybe others won’t press you on the asinine statement.

Steph is on a shortlist of guys that I think would be the perfect co-star for Embiid. Along with Lillard and Irving.

Miami needs someone that can attack the rim off the dribble. It's a shame Okpala is buried on their bench, because he'd provide that much-needed playoff trait.

Giannis might be a worse shooter than Ben. Everything about his mechanics are busted to oblivion.

They gotta do this for 6 more games and then one of them gets to play the Nets? Couldn't be my team.
