Should be okay in the Dwight role...actually should have more left in the tank than Howard. Hopefully we won't have to worry about him being on the court with Ben.

Great value for minimum.

Super great now if were able to trade Ben for someone like Dame.

Only a minimum deal, but I’m not seeing the fit. He is the Dwight replacement, but I was hoping to go the direction of more of a stretch three.

The problem isn't this signing. I do think you need a player like this during the regular season. But we still need a stretch five and its an issue they failed to address at all last year and haven't yet this year.

Embiid told Morey that if they can't get Lillard he's going to ask to be traded unless they sign his son to a contract and Morey thought this is what Embiid meant.

I also dont think Drummond will sign here if he thinks Ben is going to be a Sixer this season. It would be a career suicide :lol:

+++ I think honestly we need to spend the money a stretch 4/5 that can play more minutes and with both Biid/Drummond units

Drummond and Ben interior passing with one another because of the fear of being sent to the line would be fun

Do you know where I can bet that we’re gonna lead the league in passes per game?
