Only a picture of Redick.

Ben wants Jimmy and Tobias out!

To me that always looked like a sneezing emoji, so I've been very confused over a bunch of his tweets up until just now.

Why does Ben have "the get indignant so you blow real hard out of your nose" emoji there?

I would really like to have Malcolm Brogdon on the Sixers.

I saw you weren’t the biggest fan of John Wick movies, c’mon man!!

Not a lot of CGI, I’m old, so growing up in the late 70’s to 80’s, the explosions were real, everything wasn’t graphics. John Wick, has murder, mayhem, chases, and cool cars, the cars are what make Fast and the Furious movies cool.

The only thing it’s missing is gratuitous nudity. But then again, I’m still a fan of wrestling, so what do I know.

Im not that old, but i also enjoyed some 90s action movies. And i’d atleast want better storyline than just putting fighting scenes above any storyline. To start, all these trouble started because of his dog. Hahaha

Spoiler:

Seems to me ben is also trying to say that thanking the fans doesnt necessarily means leaving.

More interesting when both Jimmy and Tobias liked the tweet.

Am I the only one who doesn't want JJ back? I just don't see the point when this team (including Tobias and Jimmy) could be really elite IF we get an SG who can both defend and attack. The defense really grew a whole bunch in the playoffs and the potential they have is exciting. I'm really intrigued by what KCP could bring to this team alongside Ben. Lamb, Ross and Beverely are appealing too. I mean Beverely's defense alongside Ben's? SMH that would be some epic stuff man

Yes, because bringing him back doesn't preclude you from getting one of those guys if we're acting as an over the cap team. I think optimally he returns as our 6th man, and then, you know, we'd maybe have a decent bench.

J.J. isn't as well rounded as those guys but he still operates at a level above them on the court.

I don't think you can take for granted how productive and efficient J.J. is. All while being extremely smart, coachable, and hardworking. So few players in the NBA embody those qualities.

Ennis declined his option as expected. I highly doubt will see him here again

youngcrev · Post #595 » by **youngcrev** » Mon May 20, 2019 3:33 pm

Looks like Ennis officially declined his option. I don't think he'll be back.

In what way does he operate a level above those guys? Both KCP and Beverely can attack, defend, rebound and assist which imo would benefit this team way more than someone who only shoots threes. In a tight game like game seven against Toronto having a guy who has those skills in his make-up is what can be a deciding factor.

Getting KCP, Beverley ect would cost about 8-12m and then we could spend the rest of the funds on building a better bench instead of giving JJ another hefty sum to sit on the bench?

The rest of what funds? Do you not understand the relationship between signing someone with cap space and having to let Harris/Butler, Redick, and Scott go?

J.J. produces fringe-allstar scoring production at elite level efficiency. None of those guys come close to operating at his level.

And of the list, Beverley is the only guy that actually has comparable intangibles.

I like Terrence Ross, but his basketball IQ is pretty low and this was the first time in his career he actually had a noteworthy season.

I don't mind Jeremy Lamb, but he has a poor motor and he coasts more on his abilities as opposed to relentlessly working hard.

KCP is an unreliable doofus on and off the court. His own agent (LeBron) was dangling him at the deadline. Coaches can't stand him and a lot of teammates dislike him.

I get the desire to replace Redick with a more well-rounded player, but until his game falls off, you're not going to find a player as good as him.

If you bring back Harris and Butler you won't still be under the cap, so you'd need to use the MLE to add one of those guys. You have that whether you bring back JJ or not.
