Maybe this motivates Banchero.

We still have fans that think JI will come back and play DPOY level… there’s homers everywhere.

JI has more of a chance than that Jabari take.

Jabari at least playing NBA games. They’re both crack pipe takes of the highest order.

76ers situation seems to be ticking bomb

Yeah they may blow that up. It was coming after getting Harden. He’s a cancer at this point of his career.

POR wants 4 1sts and young talented players on rookie deals. MIA willing to give 3 picks and Herro, but need to find a taker for Herro to secure another 1st and a young player.

We could give DEN 1st or our own 1st + Suggs to Portland for Herro. MIA gets Lillard. POR gets Suggs and 4 1sts.

Yes, I’m praying for this deal

I’d rather give 2 picks (DEN + one of ours with some protections) than Suggs… I think POR would too

Suggs in MIA could be a potential nightmare :evil:

for us. He’s not untouchable to me, but keep him or send him far away

Sounds like Fournier is letting Thibs have it now. Just a couple of weeks ago, they were saying he was a good soldier.

We still have cap space and Gary Harris to trade. I'm not sure how much of an upgrade he would be. Fultz and Fournier are familiar with each other, and he's probably comfortable with the surroundings.

I'd rather eat glass than watch a Fultz/ Fournier backcourt.

No. He would freeze out our young guards. Keep him away.

Just a clickbait, he didn't say anything bad about thibs, however he said this when was asked how he felt this season:-)

À quoi a ressemblé votre saison ? Aviez-
vous l’impression d’être dans le formol ?
Dans un caisson de cryogénisation
en attendant d’être réveillé ?
Vous connaissez “Dragon Ball Z” ? Quand
le héros Goku se retrouve sur la planète
Namek, blessé, dans une capsule de
régénération ? J’avais cette image dans la
tête toute l’année, à chaque entraînement
(Fournier a tweeté cette image, sa première
apparition sur les réseaux sociaux en trois
semaines, quelques heures après cet
entretien).

Fournier was statistically a top 10 worst defender in the last 1-2 years he played here already & since tanked (in combination with Kemba) 2 Top 3 defenses in in back to back years in New York & Boston, before they traded or benched him. He is unplayable for more than 10-20 min at this stage of his career.

Fournier was also a terrible player on offense last year. His shooting was atrocious. Frankly: it is my view that the 19M he gets this year will be the last money he ever makes as a player in the NBA.

How would you create Eastern conference tiers?

Contenders
Celtics
Heat
Bucks
76ers

Up and comers
Cavs
Pacers
Magic
Hornets
Hawks

Treadmill
Bulls
Knicks
Raptors

Rebuild
Nets
Pistons
Wizards

Evan has fallen so far so quickly.

The Magic, Pacers, and Hornets being in the same tier as the Cavs feels... off.

I also think the Knicks will win 45-50 games again.

Lots of parity in the east this year.

I was going for a unique angle, with the contenders being the current big 4 and the up and comers being the challengers. Cavs Magic, Hornets, Pacers, and Hawks are all on different timelines but they have one thing in common, they have a franchise player or two identified already.

Gotcha

I dont think I see the Magic/Hornets/Pacers challenging the contenders yet this season. Not going to lie though, looking at the Pacers team on paper they are really deep and made a few sneaky good pickups this offseason. I think they can hit 45 wins if healthy

Ah, yeah, I don't either.
