OG is the only free agent worth a damn (assuming he opts out). I would have back channel feelers on him right now to see if he's be interested in coming aboard. If he's not interested, I'd probably make the deal for Grant.

It’s pretty bad that I only feel confident with one guy on the court (Maxey) handling the ball. Melton is… chaotic to say the least.

Well if Maxey adds the PnR to his 2 game with Joel that''s amazing too

Looks like Maxey learned how to draw fouls. The kid keeps adding to his game.

It's hilarious to me that the Blazers are using the double big line up with Williams that worked so well for Boston and they cannot cover the paint for ****.
Ayton looks like a guy on his last contract or something

If we’re bringing back Harden this season, we should CP3 him and have him come off the bench. He with Oubre, Reed, etc would probably reflect his Houston days more so than the starters.

Embiid is playing elite defense so far in this game. Rebounding exceptionally well compared to his usual game.

Camara is that dude from Dayton that popped on video when everyone was scouting Holmes.

After one quarter, Embiid is on pace for the first ever 40pt 5x5 quadruple-double.

Between his raggy, oversized clothes and his beard, Harden legit looks like a bum on the bench.

I'd strongly consider it even if it put us in cap hell for the next few seasons. I'm sure they would take Tobias's expiring in a heartbeat.
I seriously consider Soften + Tucker for Brogdon + Grant. Gives up on the cap space plan but gets us two long-term pieces that fit with Jo + Max.
Brogdon + Grant sign me up 2 really solid players. More so anything to get out of Tucker playing here.

DaRon Holmes' draft stock slipped last year. He actually had a great year on the court, but not great enough to maintain his first-round draft pick status, which is where he was a year ago. Last season at Dayton, Camara was better than Holmes most nights. Holmes is still the better defender, though. I hope he goes first round next summer.

If hit hits about 30 threes this year, I think he goes round 1.
He's already got the athleticism, post offense, and shotblocking.

It's the Toumani Camara show right now. I hope the throw-in player becomes the most impactful part of that trade.

Bench is what matters and our bench is subpar.
