Justin is a forward he has good size but he will have to improve his strength and rebounding to play the 4 in spots.

Justin Edwards' primary position should be SF where he has good size. He'll play PF in small-ball lineups though.

Yea he has good size but a little less than I originally thought. I thought he was a legit 6'8 220,.

Combine measurements say 6'6 shoeless 210 with 6'10 wingspan. So pretty good for a SF but about average for a combo forward.

Hopefully he can go into the off-season and work on his strength and explosiveness, that should help be able to play both positions when needed without being a liability.

Well hes way bigger than i thought. Almost Ideal size for a SF then. Great pick by Morey. Hes been killing lately with our picks: Maxey, Mccain, Bona, Justin and Ricky. Im not that excited about Ricky, but hes has some potential still. And he got grimes, which is killing lately.

In my opinion his only big blunder was resigning Embiid, he should have waited. PG is whatever, he was injured alot this year, but if Embiid was healthy maybe things would have gone diferently.

I agree the only real (massive) blunder was extending Jo. Signing PG into pure cap space was fine. As you say, he'd be playing and helping out if Jo was healthy and playing. PG will rehab his value next year and we'll be able to dump him if needed.

Jo being injured and awful is the sole reason for this season's catastrophe.

What makes it so bad was it was completely unnecessary and all about “feels”. He’s not supposed to be worried about feels. A shrewd GM tells Joel to pound sand or he would have been traded for a haul; it’s not like he has a track record of winning anything anyway.

Not knowing Jo’s medical is what makes this so difficult. Theoretically, if you land a top-2 or 3 pick you could run this thing back if Joel’s healthy. PG can be fine as a super role player, but without Embiid, PG is not anywhere near being a Batman. If Embiid isn’t healthy, you must get creative in trying to move him and/or PG.

This is really impressive tanking. Imagine if they had started this earlier.

Andre Miller-esque behavior.

Clutch challenge. Gotta be a good block

If we lose today and BK wins against Toronto probably at worst we end with the 6th worst record. Beating the Nets will be hard, they are tanking with passion lol.

Checked the box score and we were down 15 with like 4 and change. Knew it was too early to celebrate. Losing to Washington is impressive though.

the_process · Post #276 » by **the_process** » Thu Mar 27, 2025 1:26 am

Brooklyn is bringing their A+ tank game. They are not fooling around and are unlikely to win another game this year. Good news is Toronto is no longer a worry.

eyeatoma · Post #277 » by **eyeatoma** » Thu Mar 27, 2025 1:27 am

As long as we don't win another game, we've got 5 in the bag.

Outside chance to catch New Orleans. I think it's at least as likely the Pelicans win three more than the Nets win one more.

Fantastic job laying down for Washington. 9 to go.
