That's what's Barnes is supposed to become

I don't doubt that he will become a star but perhaps acquiring another superstar as his vet will be beneficial to him the way Maxey has Harden right now or Booker got CP3

Maxey is a **** freak

Yep, add OG to the list.

I think if we do get a primary scorer, with Barnes, we're looking at a solid contender. But we don't got that guy at all, and haven't pretty much for the last decade. Only guy we got we traded for a 1 year rental.

torontos problem is they are mediocre in top talent. they need to trade peaked siakam and fvv for someone like a healthy AD/Kyrie version and consolidate. they also dont have a pg and trying to make scottie draymond point center role but it will not work out.
scottie needs to equip a 3 and follow what patrick williams is doing. his voume stat is deceiving everyone like raps have no holes but he is a tweener thats master of none and jack of all trades. having a bunch of fringe stars will get you nowhere you need your cornerstone doncic star.

They will make that trade when their younger players are ready. They're not there yet.

As a Sixers fan we are conditioned to kinda expect this. Every year, no matter how smooth things are going or how it looks like it's the year to make a run, this kind of **** happens.

Welcome to our world.

Maxey is great. He got the mentality to takeover game without being a ball hog. Although a punchable face lol

Don't even try to complain, you got a few titles before the wheels came off. Not even close to the same man.

59% of Real GM took the Raptors huh? Honestly I had this as the easiest series to predict. Toronto just isn’t built to be able to handle Embiid and Harden (and apparently Maxey). Van Vleet too small, no size to really be able to handle Joel. Philly was always going to be able to exploit mismatches all series long.

Where was that call all series?

This Philly team is super impressive thus far. I thought the Raptors team had something special especially on defence when healthy. 76ers have absolutely steam rolled them. Raptors gunna have to find something special at home to extend this series.

Black Mage · Post #2494 » by **Black Mage** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 1:31 am

I don't think I've ever seen Siakam so out of sorts like this.

nikster · Post #2495 » by **nikster** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 1:31 am

Even the raptors transition offense has been terrible

OfficialRef · Post #2496 » by **OfficialRef** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 1:31 am

I had the Sixers in 6, but I was surprised at the optimism with the Raptors. Without Lowry theres no offense besides 5'10 FVV and fraud Siakim.

Sixers are a legit super team that can win a title.

Not surprising considering the rabid Raptors fanbase on this forum

Don't insult/bait fanbases. -b
