I definitely wouldn't call it a "great" shot. They have a shot, but the Lakers are still the frontrunners by quite a bit.

It's hilarious. Amir is a good locker room guy. That's all he is at this point of his career. The dude can barely even move anymore. There is a reason why he didn't even see the floor against us in the playoffs.


This was us back in 2015. :lol: However, my low point that summer was getting excited about David Lee. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Yeah but Amir was actually solid back in 2015. He was decent for us. This past season, though, he looked something out of a zombie apocalypse. The dude has nothing left.

Yup. Amir was cooked after his one season with us. Great guy though. If Perk is getting paid to be a locker room guy, then I'm glad to see Amir still collecting a cheque. Unlike Perk, at least Amir can still suit up and actually play. I didn't see Perk do a damn thing last season other than yell at Drake while wearing the suit Lebron forced upon the Cavs.

Eh, we essentially have a better version of Crawford in Rozier. As for West, he would have been a nice addition of we lost Baynes, but with Baynes back in tow, West would have no use here. As for Beasley? We have Morris.

There really aren't any players on the FA market that I'm interested in at this point. Just re-sign Smart and call it a day.


We have to get more consistent offense coming off the bench ..

TR is clearly the better all around talent in relation to Crawford ... Crawford's shooting is much much better, Beasley is WAY more consistent offensively in relation to Morris .. West is a nice ALL-AROUND glue guy that can score

We have way too many scoring droughts and need more shooting ..

How about Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving? There’s already a shots/minutes crunch here — and not exactly three open roster spots!

We will have one or two of Kyrie,Hayward,Brown, Al or Tatum on the court at all times when it matters. Then you have Morris,Rozier as spark plugs, Smart as a playmaker and big men that can finish around the rim. In theory, it shouldn’t be too big a concern.

Heaven's NO not all three ! One of them
Of course GH and KI help .. but we need another CONSISTENT scorer/shooter to round out the roster .. any of these 3 improves our team !

Amir is a good guy, can give you some minutes when needed. He did a good job for us in the time he was here. He moved like he should be on Uncle Drew's team, but his impact was always positive (in regular season) despite what your eyes were telling you. He was a good defender and was actually pretty skilled around the basket. He couldn't get off the ground, but he found a way to make some "interesting" shots around the basket.

He was 19th in DRPM last year for the 76ers. He is still somehow a good defender and a positive player in limited minutes. I get it. It defies all logic. He can barely move. BUT, year after year, he is a net positive because of his defensive impact.

The 76ers signing him last year for 12 (whatever the number) was kind of dumb and most likely a mistake. They could have overpayed somebody better with that money. Signing him to minimum deal is entirely different. There is nothing bad about that IMO. He is probably unplayable in the postseason, but the minutes he can give you in the regular season is more than worth the minimum.

Parker is kinda of screwed if he’s thinking he’s gonna to get a 3-4 year deal for 15-20 million

I heard because of his lack of playing time coming off injury. Parker qualifying off is only 4.3 million.

His best bet may be to get a Julius Randle type of deal 1 Plus 1 (player option) for 2 years/20 million.

Money available is running out quickly for players like Parker. Reality is setting in hopefully especially coming off major injury for 2nd time.

We aren't going to have scoring droughts with Kyrie/Hayward/Horford/Tatum/Brown/bench. I would be surprised if we aren't a top five offense in the league.

And Beasley is more gifted than Morris, but he has an even lower basketball IQ and would completely bog down our offense with his iso-heavy play. No thank you to Beas.

Hope Chicago signs him as a local guy. He wanted the Bucks to draft him and not Cleveland so he can be close to Chicago. They make perfect sense to get him.

I would bet we have kicked the tires on Parker with Milwaukee. He seems like the kind of reclamation project Brad would like. Move Morris, Yabu and Nader(Waived) for him.

Wayne Ellington can knock them down from deep consistently. Id take him as a spot up shooter. Not sure what he would cost though. Not the best defensively but if his role is strictly low minutes spread the floor and knock down open 3's id consider it. Not much else out there.
