Imagine if that phrase was around when you were coming up? How different things might have been.


We had other phrases when I was coming up. Power to the people. Make love not war. Tune in, turn on, drop out.


Had to google that one. First time hearing of this in my life.

You can learn a lot from Walt, folks!

I think Maxey is better then everyone on our roster other then Scottie. Getting Maxey is amazing for us, and f**ks the sixers.


Maxey is coming off the bench right now in Philly.

Maxey is an undersized combo guard who doesn't really play defense. He's a good player but he'll be getting paid big time in a few years. At that point, is he the type of player you want to pay that kind of money to? I dont think so.

Yeah the answer is not to move OG it's to trade FVV, get a playmaking PG, and change the offense.

Wait, what?? According to this chart, Pascal is one of the best in iso scoring, only 4 guys better than him, is a triple double threat every night (meaning he makes passes and gets assists), he's in the same area as the idolized Kawhi and Tatum, and you make this into a slight against Pascal? GTFO.

Also, I thought all you dumbasses told me Siakam can't be a 1st option? How the hell is he in the quadrant of Kawhi, Tatum, KD, Zion and DD?

(also, wtf Demar!)

OG is reportedly unhappy with his role here and possibly wants out. That's why people are discussing a trade for him. Honestly, you're not going to find a player with the AST:TO ratio that Fred has. I'd love to have a prime CP3 on this team but there isn't one available. Playmaking isn't the issue on this team. Scottie, Pascal and Fred are all good-great passers. What we do need is more shooting and shot creation in my opinion.

I actually think it will be good if we can get some young pieces back for OG that can contribute right away. They won't demand the ball as much as OG does and would likely fit a bit better offensively because of it.

It just means that when I have something to say I put thought into my post, not like the toxic drivel twitter finger BS that gets spewed out here nowadays.

It also means I haven't been forced to get a new account because I'm too embarrassed of the previous one, ain't that right, "newbie", lol.

Tell me again the good reasons why we trade Pascal?

Maxey is coming off the bench right now in Philly.

There is a reason for that though.

With Melton starting they are better defensively. And doesn't need offensive touches so Harden and Embiid can just play the 2 man game play after play and kickout to Harris, Melton.

Then Maxey comes in and is immediately unleashed to push the offense and score for himself while Harden and Embiid get rest.

It's about better team balance....and in the end of the game plays 30+ minutes. But they don't waste Maxey minutes watching Harden and JE play catch.

Just like when Gary was coming off the bench or playing with the bench, he would immediately be all about him getting his own shots.

Who's even talking about trading Pascal, Einstein?

Just because you'd shift the offense into a more ball-movement oriented one doesn't mean that Pascal wouldn't get his ISO touches still. Every team utilizes ISO to an extent. It for sure doesn't mean we need to deal Siakam, especially now.

So lets say we get JJJ + Dillon Brooks + Some picks for Siakam.

Keep OG and shooters around Scottie.

JJJ
Scottie
OG
GVV
Dillon brooks

True long bois that can all shot around Scottie!!! ;)


Memphis would not trade JJJ straight up for Siakam little own include Brooks and picks. Morant(23)/JJJ(23)/Bane(24) are their young core. Anunoby at 25 fits their timeline.
