BUT when he played Joe didn't perform.....now this is probably due to Doc's quick hook but still.



Joe did average 37% from 3 (37/100) when playing 10 mins or more second year when he struggled. Take it what you will but no one can develop without proper consistent playing time. That’s on Doc

It’s reg season plenty of minutes to go around

The biggest thing for me was Summer League. He packed on weight and looked really sharp.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see the difference with Springer and Joe with Nurse here and he’s coming from further back

Deeply conflicted about Miles Bridges hitting the go ahead 3 to beat the Celtics.

Seems to me PJ Washington should be available now.

Once again, length, defensive effort, and decent three point shooting will beat the Celtics more times than not. Lamelo Ball is tailor made to beat Boston. If he were ever to become available I would give Charlotte whatever they asked for.

Would absolutely throw the store for LaMelo. He’s also the type of player that would interest Morey.

I thought you Maxey fans would like to know that it looks like Jaden McDaniels sprained his ankle tonight, and may not be available for our game on Wednesday.

What a perfect night. The Eagles win and the Celtics lose. Can't get any better than that.

The Wizards suck but at least they don't have Brad Beal anymore.

It's a shame that he likely won't be available via trade during the season and even if he was, I'm not sure if all of our current assets short of Maxey would be enough to get it done. Then again, Charlotte isn't known to be the best run franchise, so anything's possible I guess.

Would be interested in what the trade gurus in the fantasy thread come up with.

Some players and some teams are only going to trade that type of player if he asks out. Now he may not be far from doing that, but unlikely this or next year.

SGA is a superstar. But am i the only one who finds his game to be boring?

It's about time. That team has been picking in the lottery since we had Bynum it feels. Same with Wolves.

I have a sneaking feeling Morey's in season trade is going to be simply to duck the tax, and then he will go in to the summer planning to have 60M whatever in cap room.

For anyone who looked at the Porzingas pickup as putting the Celtics over the top, this is the sign of things to come.

I watch very little pro hoops aside from the Sixers, but caught the 4th quarter of the Knicks-Heat game (where somehow the top 'dawg' couldn't get it done) and heard the new lead broadcast team for ESPN. They succeeded in replacing a fun team with some chemistry in Breen/JVG/Jackson with two arrogant blowhards with zero sense of humor who never shut the hell up in Burke and Glenn. Just dreadful. In one quarter, Glenn must have said "like I said earlier" a half dozen times. Leave it to ESPN to make a move like that.

I haven't watched anything ESPN related other than if we're on there since Stuart Scott died. Kendrick Perkins, Rivers, Burke and many of the new faces just annoy me.

I really don't think so. Wasting a year of Embiid for the chance to max out Anunobi makes 0 sence to me. There is pretty much no chance we form some kind of superteam in summer, so it's way better to go for it now and have one more shot.

Like, I don't like LaVine at all, and I hope we won't trade for him, but I'd prefer that option over waiting.
