I think it’s easier to say who is not with players that even though organizations keep things close to the vest still have controversies and red flags leak out.
I think biggest priority is moving horford, with minimal assets for some combo of player(s) that fit better. I don’t think we will be able to move Tobias, but I think he can be utilized a lot better at the 4, or even small ball lineups with Ben and Tobias as the bigs.
The other major issues are shot creation and shooting. We need at least a combo guard capable of getting their own shot in the playoffs. We have some assets to move to find a better fit with Richardson, Thybulle, Shake, and zhaire (who is mostly salary filler at this point).
agree.
Wasnt Tobias having an amazing season with the clippers as the PnR ball handler? That is how he needs to be utilized more. Go get Drose, I cant imagine him being hard to get with being on his last year with detroit, with them doing no where fast. Drose is perfect for us off the bench in a 30 mpg role as the attacking PG we need, and if I'm not mistaken, his 3 pt shooting was pretty solid last year as well.
This will allow Simmons to start, but his minutes are split up between "point guard" and center. We cant play him at PF because we then have 2 players at all times that arent outside threats. We need to minimize that as much as possible.
Hopefully the new coach, likely lue, tells embiid to drop 30 or 40 pounds and get thin and be ready to be a PnR center with the ability to be a spot up shooter.
