I like the idea of JB/Timelord/PP/Picks for JoJo obviously but does a KP and Embiid front court work?

At that point you just trade Porzingis for Marcus Smart, Gallinari, and Muscala to balance out the roster.

Embiid/KP pick and roll 50 times a game

Probably? They can space for each other, at least. They'd be closer to AD/Cousins in mobility and fit than Rob/Al, Mobley/Allen, other double bigs..

meh Joey wouldn't know what to do with that Double Big lineup. It's the complete opposite of the bland offense we've been running. "Live and Die by the Three"..... Now if you said this before the Zinger trade , then it would have been a homerun! Not trying to be the Timberwolves of the East....

Imagine being under contract and saying you aren't going to budge on what you want.... The league messed up letting it get to this point. Being under contract means nothing anymore. Or very little.

Luckily, he's not the only coach on staff. We also have Cassell as an assistant. Cassell was an assistant in Philly last season, when Embiid won MVP. I'm pretty sure Cassell could share some insight on how to use him..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

Very few trades I would trade Jaylen Brown but this is one of them.

I have never been an Embiid fan so can't say I'd want to give up much for him. Doubt 6ers would ever send him here anyway, unless JB is involved, which I wouldn't do if I were Brad.

Yeah, this stuff is getting out of hand with stars like KD, Beal, Dame, Kyrie and Harden thinking they can just go rogue and force their way onto whatever team they want.
If you're a free agent, by all means - go to whatever team you want.
But if you're under contract, play for your damn team, shut your mouth and stop acting like a a self centered brat.

Tatum, Embiid and KP would be insane. Philly would need us to overbid everyone BY FAR to even consider it though.

OT - Bless Toronto Raptor fans, don't know how you could have 21 page thread on Dalano Banton signing with the Celtics.

It's a joke. If I'm Cronin there's a ZERO percent chance, I'm trading Dame to Miami. F that! Encourage teams to make offers and trade him to the highest bidder. Publicly state that Dame had no issues accepting the max contract we offered him. If he wants to be traded, without an NTC, he will be traded where we decide to trade him. It's a two-way street.

JB/Timelord/PP 3 unprotected 1st rd picks, 3 2nd rd picks, and a swap. I'm not sure who else could beat that unless a team like OKC got involved, or NOLA.
