Agreed, Randle will have to go. I’m not gonna just name a bunch of guys because who knows who’s available or not. When healthy I still don’t think we have enough high level shot creation. It would be nice if the guy could play d too but who knows if we’ll be able to get that. My guess is that they don’t get anyone noteworthy this summer but maybe somebody shakes loose during the season.
Windhorst def thinks we will get someone. Bill Simmons says he thinks it only a matter of time and thinks Mikal Bridges is the ideal fit (I guess all depending on if the Nets can make another move) because keeping Bridges at some of his peak value on a bad team makes no sense for a high end role player.
It doesn't need to be a name star. It could just be someone that is seen as a very effective two-way player in a similar light as OG. Like he's not in the conversation as one of the best players in the league but he's one of the best two-way players and if we determine that players impact to help put us over the top).
I think we def need more size whether thats at guard or at the wing. It doesn't sound like Embiid is realistic anymore especially not with the jump Maxey made this playoffs and Sixers probably try to add to that roster with there space.
I think the mold for the NBA is have two high level offensive players and then have a team structure and identity with the rest of the players that are impactful and buy in.
Suns fizzled out because they had no team...they had 3 high level scorers but didn't have depth or role players.
Mavs playing well - Luka/Kyrie but then have guys like Josh Green, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford/Lively ect
Twolves - Ant/KAT with basically just role players and defenders. Naz Reid type having a big impact
Boston - Tatum/Brown and then to a lesser extent KP (but they got those elite role players like Whie/Jrue
even a team like Indy with Haliburton and Siakam are the two name players but those guys like Turner/Nesmith/McConnell really impacting playoff games.
probably getting something similar with Sixers.
Now obviously if Giannis becomes available sure...but if not I don't know who that player is. Paul George probably would be a good fit but the age and injury concerns worry me. I don't know if there is a younger version of him available but that type of player.
Spot on. The days of 3 superstars taking up 90% of a team's cap are over.
F*ck the Pacers. I don't respect them. But look at the remaining clubs:
Minnesota: Ant-Man, 3 high level bigs, a good PG, young wings.
Dallas: Luka, Kyrie, defenders and shooters
Boston: Tatum, Brown, and a high end supporting cast
It's all about having the most complete team now and not doing what Brooklyn and Phoenix did, just throwing 3 super max contracts together and praying it works. It's not 2010.
This roster is already set even if no moves are made. But obviously, some retooling is in order because Thibs at least needs 9 to 10 guys he can trust to play at all times.
minny will have 3 stars all on max deals next year though. gobert is a star, it's just not on offense. the celtics start 4 guys who have been all-stars and will have the most expensive starting 5 in the history of basketball. they have 4 guys making over 30 this year and in 2 years 2 of those guys will be making 50 each. you guys are kind of twisting the rules to fit this narrative. you can win with 2 or 3 if it's the right players. people point to the suns but maybe that's just a bad threesome and not the example that sets the rule. the clippers looked pretty good when healthy with their big 3. and sure you need good role players but you always needed some of those.
