Ace Bailey at a ROCKED UP 220 lbs. is a problem for any opposing D!


It appears Ace isn’t the only one getting “rocked up”.

Daryl is leaking that information to make sure he's still on the board when we trade back.

Negrodamus - this is our chance! lol

He's gonna need that weight to muscle through defenders since he can't go by em.

At the NBA Draft Combine, Derik Queen weighed in at 247.8 lbs

Side by side in that photo, Queen doesn’t look so thic

Maybe Ace now being so swol makes Queen look more svelte :wink:

Seth and Melton were both bad trades IMO. The alternative in both scenarios was preferable.

Let's just hope Morey has a good trade coming tomorrow.

If you squint, you can see hulking stretch marks.

Great, now he's got a little pooch belly and he's skinny fat instead of just skinny.

The alternative of David Roddy, Tyler Bey, and Josh Richardson over Melton and Curry? Or the alternative of the Mystery Box?

I can't rate a trade as bad when they got the best players out of everything traded in both deals.

Are we one of the most active teams on the forum?

I went to go check the Nets post Porzingus trade and only 1 person had commented about it in their general off season thread.

If it was over here, the trade would have it's own thread with about 5 pages of responses lol

I'd be ok taking Queen but only if it's paired with Bailey or Tre in a trade down. For him to be their first pick would be gross.

Yeah with 18 or lower I'm willing to roll the dice on Queen.

The Curry trade was fine. Melton was not, he was decent here. Trading a FRP for a “decent” role player is not a good idea. Jovic, Nembhard, Christie or Watson would all look REALLY good on the Sixers right now. Hell, atleast 3 of them could probably start for us right now.
always a jump shot away.
