That's really not true. Roberson once shot 40%from 3 on over 4 attempts per game in the playoffs.

I mean sure, if Roberson was also an elite ball-handler and passer. Simmons does so many things at an elite level, the problem is the one thing he doesn't do well gets exposed in the playoffs when the game slows down.

It's been fun watching Cam Payne turn into a clutch playoff scorer too. Both he and Reggie Jackson have been huge.

I don’t think he leaves but I don’t think he has a long career ahead of him. His days as a superstar are numbered, in my opinion.

If he’s load balanced , I think he can still turn it up time to time.

The current clippers with him load balanced might not reached conference finals every year though.

Feels real bizarre to have preseason schedules already coming out that tip off less than 3 months from now, and we haven't even had our first Finals game yet. Hope we're not in for another injury ravaged season due to the quick turnaround.

We could have used this his rookie year.

He’s one of the more surprising late developers for me.

This came right after Edwards got hurt yesterday + Isaiah Stewart getting hurt today. What a disaster of a camp so far

I dont know what Minnesota has to give up but this could be huge for them.

Anthony edwards or D’angelo russell?
The first is like an overpay the second is so so underwhelming.

Seems like it would have to be Russell but the only way for Minnesota to make up value would be to add picks. If I were Philly, I think future unprotected picks from Minny could be pretty valuable but I don’t see morey playing the long game with that stuff.

Unless it’s 3 or 4 way whereby someone wants that future pick instead and a second piece is going to philly but I definitely want a singular better player than Russell for Simmons , free throw and three pointer issues and all .

It's one of those cases where even if Minny overpays in value, 5-6 quarters aren't worth a dollar to the 76ers.

But it’s one of the instances whereby embiid maybe only have a few elite years cause he might not be healthy forever.

Though there’s always team that can easily beat Minny best offer.

Anyone interested in Dejounte Murray? He's apparently being shopped by the Spurs. I think he'd fit well on OKC, and his deal isn't terrible at 4/64 (expires after 23-24)

If we're planning on another blatant tank it probably isn't the best move though

I like him well enough as a player but his fit on our roster at this time doesn’t seem ideal.
