I didnt even realize this… i wonder if theres something going on between Grant and Tatum.. that was no friendly push..

PJ sold it as he should in such a one sided game, but the velocity of a guy running full speed on defense then receiving a top tier push off is being understated. Some peeps never played sports.

I actually kind of like Grant. I think he let's Tatum know what Tatum doesn't want to hear a lot of the time.

F*ck Grant Williams and his ham head. Dude is a boston butt

Epitome of a ham head.

Looking back at near the end of the 2nd quarter of game 3, I didn't see any limping or him looking like he was in any pain so I wonder if he felt "some discomfort" and decided not to risk causing more issues, especially when taking in consideration being ahead, Bam giving effort on the offensive end and having someone like Oladipo to replace his minutes.

Honestly we couldve used 3 more minutes of Bam lol each time he came off the floor the defense was not the same..

Yeah, we need another Bam to come in and anchor the defense. That was supposed to be Precious I guess.

We need to draft another defensive gem to cover for him and PJ.

I like the Bamba idea for this depending on how much he wants in FA. Magic don’t want to keep him because they’re draft pick needs his minutes.

He’s a different kind of defender but he’ll have an impact there and Tyler’s man won’t have a free layup every possession when they blow by him

Apparently he had to be restrained last night to not play the 2nd half lol I believe that’s the quote I saw. The training staff made the decision and he was not happy

I haven't paid attention tion recently but wasn't Bambas motor in question. That obviously won't cut it here. He does have the skillset and the measurable to entice.

I like Koloko a lot in the draft. Some other bigs look promising. Rafy brought up Jabari Walker as an option at forward. Not Bams but more high level D.

I’m not sure tbh but I see he averaged 11-8 with 2 blocks a game in 26 Minutes, shooting 38% from 3 on 4 attempts. He’s tall and long too. Basically a cheaper Turner but can shoot better. Scored 32 on Embiid in 1 half this season too

[3ammy3uck3ts]

My thing is, if we win the championship this season I don’t think we can repeat next season without a strong move or 2. Also Bam has to be the Bam we saw last night, he has to stay aggressive and the scheme has to feature him every night as a main scorer.

Signing someone like Bamba to beef up the front court and preserve Pj for the playoffs and then flipping Herro/Duncan/Yurt and picks for a Mitchell/Beal/Lavine is the way imo. Someone we know that can give us an efficient 25-30 a night when the playoffs come around and can just single handedly will us to a win. Mitchell’s age fits perfect with Bam and he’s had some great playoff runs.

Lavine and Beal a little older than Mitchell but may cost less, especially Lavine who apparently is done with CHicago. We can’t rely on Herro to be that guy and I’m not waiting another year to see if he can change it, especially if we don’t win it all this season. His max contract is looming and that’ll be terrible

[3ammy3uck3ts]

And I know we may want to draft a big but I saw a perimeter guy the other day who looked like he had an elite scoring package and had the potential with athleticism and size to be a very good defender (he’ll he may already be I don’t keep up with college until the tourney) I’ll find him real quick

Mitchell/Lavine/Beal won't be coming here.

Mitchell will get outbid. He will cost the equivalent to Bam & Herro.
Lavine has no relationship with anyone here. I would like him though.
Beal is not someone we want anymore. He costs far too much for what he offers.

John Wall is a-comin'.

Idk if I linked this right but here he is. This dude looks like he has star 2-way potential. You can see the 3 level scoring here and he is very good at getting to the line. He’s a freshman and 6-6 180, we’d probably like to see him get to 200-210. 3rd in scoring of all true freshman in college averaging 18-6. If we move some of the perimeter guys for a star I’d love to bring him in and I don’t get excited about college guys very often lol.

The mock draft I saw from 2 days ago actually has him going 1 pick ahead of us to Dallas with us drafting EJ Liddell, the star upper class man from Ohio state who would play the 4 in our system and is actually built like PJ Tucker with a better scoring skillset and good 3 point jumper. Idk how he is defensively

We shall see. Bam and Mitchell are best friends, we may be able to pull something out there. Lavine and Bam are boys and played USA ball together. Then we already know Beals relationships. I believe Miami would want Beal if he wanted to be here. Andy would have to work his cap Magic.

I agree John wall is coming lol.

I was shocked to hear nobody in Bam's circle has urged him to be more aggressive & it was UD that pushed him. I think Bam needs to diversify his social group to include not just yes men & have real cats to be real w/ him.

[Wiltside]

I just hope and pray that the aggressive, decisive version of Bam is here for real. We are such a better team when he stops being passive and deferential and decides to be the best player on the floor.

We call Grant 'Fat Lemon' in our household.

dipo has proven enough, he should be resigned

Abso-f*cking-lutely!

That version of Bam is arguably the 2nd best player in this series behind Jimmy. It guarantees we advance imo.
