Siakam likely gone. And reports show they want him

I hope not. With that said I couldn't care less if we moved Pascal.

Might make sense. We need a playmaker and Simmons will be better as point forward and younger. Only downside is his shot but Raps seem to still want him

FVV/Flynn
Trent/Barnes
OG/
Simmons/
Achiuwa/

Thats a way better situation for him to thrive. Philly fkin ruined this guy.

I wouldn't be against it as I always thought the fit between Ben and Biid was suspect af. It spaces the floor for Ben, which would be beneficial for him. But I'm not sure if I want his prima dona attitude tbh.

Spain is winning so far vs. US

If we come away with Simmons I'm going to laugh my ass off. Reeks of desperation.

How many guys are we going to look at who can't shoot the ball? LOL

You just listed a bunch of 2nd/3rd string centers and don't see a problem with that.

For the record I'm cool if we were tanking but a team with Fred/OG/Siakam is too good to tank unless you want to fake injuries like we did this past season.

Because they're all stop gaps. Please tell me how any of the FA signings pushes us ahead of the top teams in the east. We don't have to "tank" yet. We can wait till trade deadline like many teams have done before, whats with the impatient with this board lately?

Because it would be the 3rd offseason in a row where we have gotten noticeably worse. No one likes that we're losing more value than we're adding. That might be fine for a team tanking but not one that seems to be competing, which I think we are.

I might classify this as a mollywhopping if Spain gets a double-digit lead, they up 9

True. I'm just showing why it might make sense for us. I'm surprised tbh but it seems this siakam nick nurse thing has legs. And Masai with Rich Paul today could mean they orchestrating it

It won't be too bad honestly if the other 4 guys can shoot, that's why it would've been dope to have a floor spacing 5 like Olynyk. Maybe Markkanen is still possible, or perhaps they start Boucher at C.

You didn't tell me which FA signing would have pushed us over the top. Who did you want? People are crying for the sake of crying.
I understand being critical of Masai's moves, hell he did make a mistake going all in on Giannis. But this FA IMO isn't one of those things/situations.

Looks like there is a good chance we get Powell or Kleiber. If we get Powell, would people be ok with our C position then?
