Oubre for the tMLE is a steal, and I don't like him Oubre.

Once Harden's camp gets wind of this latest report they're going to try and put that out to reset any leverage.

So predictable

What is Oubre?

I really don't want Kelly Oubre. We don't need guys that put up empty calorie production. We need smart players that maximize possessions. He sure as heck ain't that.

Who would you like to add that's available to shore our dearth of wings.

Hami Diallo is sitting right there to be had.

In 133 games with Detroit, he's averaging 10.3 ppg on 51.9% shooting with a 2.4% steal and 1.5% block. While being an elite athlete with a 6'11" wingspan.

We definitely need to acquire a wing or two via FA or trade. I don’t mind the current roster but it only works if we can successfully play double big a lot. We just don’t have any lineup flexibility at the moment which is critical in the playoffs.

I wonder what the salary constraints are at this point. I think they have about $18 million under the second apron, but part of me thinks they are still going to try to get below the luxury tax.

Kelly Oubre averaged 20 ppg, so prob not an efficient scorer, but still a guy that can score in this league. Not a good long-term fit and I wouldn’t make a big commitment, but at this point he stands out from who is left.

Oubre can’t really shoot tho. Career 33% from three. I’d probably rather give Justise Winslow a shot on the vet minimum since he at least has some passing chops & toughness.

Stop with the strawman. He was not blamed by anyone "for all the problems", but he played a major part in the playoff losses as well as being responsible for the lack of young player development over the last three years. There isn't a thing that will kill the narrative that he was a hideous hire that was allowed to stay at least one year too long.

Maybe we could get lucky and catch a high variance year from him. If so, he shoots enough of them to make a difference.

It's not a strawman. There are millions of Sixers fans in the world. To say he was not blamed by anyone for all the problems is just false. I've seen the people on social media saying precisely that over the years. They may be a minority, but they do exist.

Now you can argue that they don't represent the fan base and who cares about them. And to that you'd be right, but they're annoying and I want them to have to STFU about Rivers for my own amusement.

Def want both Oubre and Winslow. Get rid of Furk, Tucker, & Harrell if possible.

LeonJordanJr24 · Post #1754 » by **LeonJordanJr24** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 9:56 pm

This team can't make "A" bucket when we need it but we cancelling out players that actually can "Play" beacuse of there 3pt percentages.

Dudes like Niang and Korkmaz got a spot in the league because they are "Shooters" but "Really can't play the actual full game of basketball "hoops" when we need them the most".

We are so effed and it feels like the organization cares way less than we do.

Don't worry

Morey simps know he has something big up his sleeve and are more concerned about the future than now

Bodner's got them at 5.84 above the tax with 13 guys (minimum 14 players). So I think a minimum signing puts them above the first apron (7M above), and they're a little less than 12M under the second apron (17.5M above).

What did you want done differently in the last year? We’ve all been following the plot and things have been rough since the ATL series, curious why you think things are far worse recently. Or think something else should’ve happened.

What is Oubre?

A wing with pretty ideal athleticism/length/strength.

7'3 wingspan. Among league leaders in deflections. Willing 3 point shooter, even though he's not very good at it.

I think he's easily an upgrade on McDaniels. Just stronger and more coordinated.

Not the smartest player, but would fill a role here.

Oubre once scored 40 points in a game I think while he was playing for the Warriors.
