You shut up lol

If Butler could shoot the 3 Sixers beat the Raptors easily. Miami would have had a chance against the Lakers.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

If Ben could shoot threes all of the discussions on this board would be half as big lol.

I do have a clue I don’t think you do at all.

Herro/Robinson were the liabilities as they should have been not Butler

I offer alternatives, and rational thoughts
but please share us your wisdom.

AD was going under screens. Butler was passing up wide open 3s. Do some reading.

2. Mike Scott needs to be waived. Ben Simmons in the playoffs is best functioned as a F/C. Thybulle needs to slide to the back up 4/3 position. He has the length and quickness to disrupt both positions. Offensive he will be better up positions.

You need to stop your whining after every game. Butler having no 3pt shot and shooting 26% from 3 was a massive factor against the Raps.

In fact, it was a massive factor for Miami against the Lakers.

Just shut up man.

Without Jimmy Butler there wasn’t much of a series. He kept us afloat against the Raps. Now looked what he’s done afterwards.

No I mean to say there’s a chance it’s even worse than that. I’ll keep my thoughts private but the middle/end career Ben isn’t going to be pretty at all unless he puts everything and I mean everything into defense. (I don’t think he has that mentality at all spoonfed, number 1 pick etc, college lazy, the warning signs have been there pre draft.)

I think we have the same belief but my position is to just make the most with the cards we’re dealt with.

Even Morey knows this when Ben was almost traded for Harden.

You can even say Rafael Stone and Fertita may both also know this thats why they rather have Oladipo.

This is also why Im not a fan of the Al trade because we wasted one of our most valuable asset (2025 1st is our highest valued 1st round pick) for cap flexibility to sign (likely overpay) mamalou dialo and bobby portis in the offseason

Anyway were now here.. this is what we have.. good thing we didnt double down on our mistakes by overpaying for Lowry.

Let’s just find ways to maximize Ben. Then be more efficient in translating paper assets into talent. And if there’s an opportunity for a big talent, let’s be aggressive.

Yup, I’d include everyone including Maxey, Milton and Paul Reed.

I’m of the belief we should add younger underutilized/undervalued talent that has age demos between (21-24) that could well breakout into solidified consistent minute players based on better circumstances on this team. There’s needs to fill and popping up a second or third stringers that really shouldn’t be (Simons/Goga/Nowell/Hart) could pay off down the road. I can see all 4 playing more minutes on this team by virtue of filling an important role. Backup center, Backup PG, Backup SG etc.

Hill will do a lot for Ben and Embiid’s game. But it’s high strung on the limitations on Ben (below average big man skills).

Would you swing for the fence on Jalen Green in this years draft? I believe if he’s not picked in the first 3 (he shouldn’t btw if I was a draft scout) I would swing for him. Caters for now and for the future potential to be a superstar two guard.

His athletic profile and what he is already screams out as the top pick by a margin for me.

Its likely (most times but not always) smoke and mirrors.

Watch TLC amateur highlights to know why.

Most of them are just playing against subpar competition. They’d fold once they meet guys like Gobert around the rim.

I’d be more comfortable if he has a good foundational skillset. Like watching LeBron back in HS.

^ just the last 10 without Embiid has been great too, still the top defense over that stretch by 3.5 p/100. Excellent effort.
