So much more fun to watch than the eyesore we had to deal with the last 2 years of Soften dribbling the air out of the ball.

To be as good as last year: Oubre or Tobias, or both, as 15-20ppg 3rd option

To be be as good as Celtics: To be as good as last year then upgrade Tucker (i.e Jonathan Isaac? naz Reid? towns? Jalen Smith? Siakam?)

He'll get his chance soon. Bench isn't strong enough to keep him out for long.

Good win. I know the Raps aren't great but it appears that Embiid and Maxey may have elevated their games with their passing.

It's too bad Morey is going to waste this season for "cap space". If you help Embiid and Maxey, this team could do something this year.

This team would look amazing offensively with a big guard who can play on and off the ball with Maxey and Embiid, Melton fitting in on the bench. They look awkward from the lack of ball handlers in the backcourt, which is probably holding Springer back too.

I love Melton, but he is going to get paid this offseason and Springer can very much be a Melton replacement if we ever more Melton for value.

Forget about being an All-Star, Maxey is gonna make the jump All NBA.

The Simmons and Harden sagas were the best things that could have ever happened to him. Without the former, he'd likely still be buried on Doc's bench and without the latter, he'd just be another good scorer with tunnel vision.

We really can't let Soften come back. His presence will stifle Maxey's growth and torpedo team chemistry

Keep him far away until he's traded.

Need to go on a 3 game win streak (next 2 PTB and RAPS) then have the Clips start losing, starting with their game against Wemby tomorrow. With RW bricking a lot of shots. Imagine losing to Jazz and Spurs, consecutively.

Barneys viciously turning on Siakam. The dream would be to get him in the Harden trade, either directly or in a menage a trois.

The problem is.. Pat Bev might cost us them not wanting to be here lol
Pat Bev doubles down on stance that he’s not “threatened” by Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby:

“Like I said. No dogs.”

Oubre is better than Toebias, yes i said it. And someday i will quote some of my old posts in Maxey topic. I´m gonna look real smart, telling that he would be a star in his first or second year lol
