Do people really believe Smart and Richardson are good returns for a star and this somehow makes them MORE attractive because they got extensions? smh.
This is who they decided is their core and what they hope is good enough. That's a scary thought. If you were excited about any of our young guys like Pritchard, Nesmith, Langford, Madar or Begarin, think again. Ime is all about low ceiling high floor veterans. The real question is, how soon does Tatum demand a trade.
Yes, I do. If they play reasonably well, they will have asset value. The real value will be the picks and potentially/likely need to include someone like Nesmith, who also hopefully pops with some more run this year.
As for Ime, how the F do we know anything about what he likes for players? He was just working with a superstar trio and before that was assisting on a top-heavy Sixers squad. Also, this isn't really about Ime, this is clearly Brad running the show from the roster-building standpoint.
