Elf traded to Phoenix for second rounder

[tiderulz]

Saric is crazy efficient. 15-7-3 on just 11.5 shots per game. 40% from downtown on 5+ attempts.

I'm not saying he's better than Gordon, but I also won't say he's not.

helps that he mixes it up down low and has averaged between 3-4 FTA/game the last 3 months.

Hennigan really looks like complete fool for trading pick and Šarić for him now.
Chain reaction , if team never traded Šarić they would never got Ibaka and Oladipo would still play for Magic.

PG- Oladipo-Gordon-Šarić- Vučević lineup would probably battle 4th sead right now.

or they would have traded Dipo for someone else. maybe a PG since they didnt draft Elf.

Maybe they would draft D'Angelo Russell next year ? Šarić would miss 2014-15 season anyway, tanking would be on point anyway. Worst case- Mudiay.

Yup, and he still doesn't get as many calls as he should get from the refs. Been watchin' Philly lots this year and it's hard not to notice that.

Btw, I'm so jelly of Philly. I've always liked them, I'd say for 20 years now, maybe even more. But. They aren't Magic, hence not my team. Which saddens me a lot. Such a good, young and potent core with 2 possible superstars and maybe 1 or 2 possible all-stars. FML.

IMO Šarić and Gordon could work well off each other, not to extend of Simmons and Šarić but it could work.
Šarić isn't great perimeter defender by any streach but he is solid post defender and does good job defending PFs.
Gordon isn't much of PF defender and does lot better on perimeter.
On offense one is 40% three point shooter this year and underrated passer , other is good enough to not left wide open and super athletic.

They would be nice combo. Tbh if we gave Gordon and Harris more time they would work fine as well.

Imagine Oladipo - Hezonja - Gordon - Saric - Vucevic line up, just run and gun, lolz.

Birch would be much better suited for that role than Vuc imo.

btw it will be interesting to see who will step up the most for 76ers if Embiid goes through concussion protocol ( last night Fultz hit him with his shoulder or head somehow ).

i'm jealous about 76ers roster right now. They can afford to use 1# overall pick as just another guy from bench

Sentinel comes hard at Payton yesterday.

I'm wary of taking much of substance in these post trade deadline stats. The season has been over since mid December and alot of teams are taking too or not even trying at this time of the year. With that said, Elfrid is a beyond horrible defender and there is no excuse, he just does not understand defense.

I literally was saying this stuff 3 months ago and people argued that he was fine at defense.

I don't remember anyone saying that Elfrid was a good defender this year. Maybe 2 years ago, but its been plainly obvious this year that even a 1 foot tall orange cone would defend better than Elfrid. At-least the cone has the potential to trip someone on the way to the basket.

So I checked the news and found out that Elfrid didn't play Wednesday or practice today due to knee tendiopathy, and that he's questionable for Friday. Something to chew on.

Most likely playing through injury. He's never been one to kick up a fuss about that sort of thing.

I had people argue with me that he was not the reason the Magic were so bad at PnR defense. I pointed out exactly what he was not doing and why it was failing and people came at me for it multiple times.

There are people in this thread who were very verbose and argumentative just weeks ago. Now they are gone.

I gotta admit, it's kinda nice seeing Elfrid suck. No regrets.

As a Suns fan, it’s nice to be done seeing him suck in a Suns uni!

[Revived]

Not sure if this dude will get a contract longer than 1 or 2 years in a low risk signing type move by some team.

[Revived]

Screw Skiles. He cost us Tobias, and quit on the team when things got tough.

At lease he did one nice thing for us before quitting then.
