I'm so glad guys like you aren't GMs. Yall would make the Sixers organization look foolish trading Okafor from a team without a PG to a team with a PG and having his game explode while Jae Crowder comes here and turns into a poor man's Covington. :noway:


Guys like me??? :lol:

But yet guys like you want to play OK4 at the 4, Ersan at the 3, and Cov at the 2 :lol:


a young big whose game will blossom with an All Star PG and legitimate NBA head coach.


and who might that be??

Dude, Michael Carter Williams is on ESPN right now. That dude may have just bricked the loudest three I've ever heard. I mean....it literally smashed off the glass. God that guy sucks.

Surprised ATL is throwing in the towel on this season even though they're a playoff team. KK gone to Cleveland and sounds like Millsap is on his way out soon. Don't know why they signed D12 in the first place if they knew they were this close to rebuilding.

He makes sense......If you're playing NBA 2K lol.
I do like Milsap, and he'd be a great fit next to Embiid in the front court, but I'm with ya...it doesn't really make a lot of sense. If we were a playoff team looking to add a piece he'd be perfect, but we're like 9-47.

Philly was already removed from the article as a team that has shown interest.

Jabari +2.2OBPM
Wiggins -.2 OBPM

Jabari is also miles better on defense.

I'm actually like a quasi Knicks fan been that way for years and I want no part of dude. Horrible defense with an alpha personality on offense that doesn't fit his talent level. He can shoot the 3 to a degree but not worth it.

Sure would, for a 2nd rounder. Not sure of what his contract situation is, but if it were just for this year I'd take a shot.

I wouldn't take him for a 2nd, (unless I had a deal lineup up to trade him for a better 2nd).

This seems an accurate description to me as well.

Dieng mentioned about Wiggins picking and choosing when he wants to play. I did a bit more research and the tweet had taken the quote out of context anyways.

It's still interesting as it's referring to his performance in broader scope of the season, but they made it seem like he was referring to specifically last night.

The Buck's GM may Ben the best GM over her last 5 years. What he has done is incredible. He got Greek Freak late in lotto. He got Vaughn in second round. He got Brogdon in second round. That GM is a beast. I just saw Brogdon scored 22 today. Omg. They have a squad.

Why is Vaughn included in that?
