Around the League: 2023-24 Season

[mjkvol]

We should circle around both teams. Im ok with Lavine and DDR, but im not looking to give up much.

Why on earth would you want to blow cap money on Levine? At this point it should only be a difference making PG or wing that gets any money extended beyond this season, and Levine is neither. The one thing the Sixers don't particularly lack is offense, and that is all Levine offers at a crazy steep price. Playmaking, defense, rebounding, and maybe a bench scorer should be the sole focus right now.

In a scenario where there’s no big FA to sign and we can just absorb Lavine and give up 1 or 2 protected picks, or in a scenario where they also add Coby White in that package.

But why? You're talking as if we need a player like Levine. If I'm going to 'absorb' a high priced player it damn well better be someone at a position of need who offers skills we're lacking. The Sixers can score the ball - what else does Levine bring that makes it worth absorbing that toxic contract?

Anthony Black was drafted 6th and they can't find more than 4 minutes per game for him in Orlando? Terrible pick to begin with, but at least give him some time. Poverty franchise.

I kinda like Black as a prospect. Seemed like a good kid and one of the few freshman that was willing to be a defender.

Makes sense. Hendricks should be playing in the 2nd half of the year, though. The John Collins thing still doesn't make sense.

I decided to see how the bucks and celtics look so far and early on I notice the celtics and bucks schedule is a joke in comparison to the sixers.

Cam Thomas looks good so far this year. I undertand it’s cool to hate on “chuckers”, but I suspect if he was a Sixer people would be singing a different tune. Hell, you have fans who are excited for Terq Smith

I just think his ceilling at best is sixth man.

His 3 pt shoot is mediocre, has too big of an USG, is short and his defense makes him an easy target. He can score but defenses are gonna give him more and more open 3s looks to avoid his drives and midranges.

Having him there with Simmons and Claxton is gonna kill the Nets spacing eventually.

For sure. I think there’s a bright future ahead of him and he’ll develop into a better passer, just like Maxey.

Maxey was averaging 3 assists on his second season with lower USG than Thomas and playing next to Joel and then Harden. That's not a great comp

I just nod my head and go along with the Cam Thomas discourse. When he’s getting targeted constantly on defense in the playoffs, it’ll be clear why he’s not a real cornerstone player.

Can somebody explain to me why Killian Hayes is starting over Jaden Ivey?

Luka was constantly switching on him already

Toronto scored 130 on the Bucks.

Early on the season, but man, the Raptors half court offense is the worst thing ever. Not necessary to panic, but if i was the Bucks i would start to have some worries

Warriors and Kings are again playing against one another. Once CP retires, GSW then replaces CP with Podziemski and Saric with Trayce.

Celtics shot 57% from 3 as a team

The Raps crushed MIL on the glass. I think that's a high variance outcome that occurred.

They’re my favorites to win. But I have GSW as my dark horse.

Bucks look bad on both end. But they’ve been in this type of situations and turn it around quickly. I believe in that season when they won the championship, they looked bad at one point of the season because they were experimenting their rotations and schemes.

So Harden’s debut is scheduled to be at MSG against the Knicks.

[76ciology]

The thing about Dame is, most of his value is for that “dame time”. In those non-clutch moments, you need to run the offense with more flow where a guy like Payton Pritchard would already be enough. Currently, their situation is very similar to when we had Jimmy and we had to integrate him to our offense where Jimmy was finding balance and mostly reserving his ammo down the stretch. But atleast Jimmy can play good defense on the other end.

[76ciology]

CP3 has been awful with his shooting but the team is playing -4 NetRTg worse when he’s off the floor and +18NetRtg when on the floor.

[76ciology]

GSW wow. Kings denied steph then Klay just hit a pull up jumper at the top of the key.

I don't like the approach of Keegan Murray this year. He's shooting 9 threes a game despite only shooting 27.8% from three.

Bro, stop shooting if they aren't going in.
