Wiseman and Draymond on the front court, oh lawd.

Yeah Simmons for Beal is a hard pass, I thought that might be a reasonable trade, Wizards might need to throw something else?

No matter what, Horford was always a bad signing. I mean, who the fuck throws over $300 million for 2 players who combine for 5x AllStars & 1 All-NBA/1x Defensive Team?




Yeah that's fair, I don't know about the fit with Beal and Embiid.

I still think if they had grabbed someone who could shoot 3's, and create off of pull ups --- would give Simmons/Embiid some breathing room to rest.

Harris is not someone I'd trust to create his own shot consistently.

Why does everyone love Beal do much? Is he even top 5 sg in the league? Hes a third piece at best.

He's pretty fuckin' good. I'd also wager to say he's been snubbed several times on ASG, and his defense has been improved. This year is a wash for him anyways since his team is complete butt.

So who's in your top 5 then?

I got

Harden
Booker
Klay (jury still out if he regains his form,)
Beal
Mitchell

Then Brown & CJ McCollum as honorable mentions.

Hed be in the 5 6 bubble with cj

The 76ers needed to keep jimmy
That was their best shot

Brown over Beal
Butler
Mitchell
Oladipo
Middleton,

The list goes on.


Beal is a chucker on a perennial shit team. He is their only shooter. Especially since John Wall jewed, his ppg has doubled because WAshington is trash and they need to give the ball to a flashy chucker to put something of value in front of the fans. Put Beal on a serious team he is Alex Caruso.

Beal is 40/35/80 and his rebounds per game are trash for a shooting guard and his assists are too high for a shooting guard meaning he throws up 15 plus foot shots with his 40/30 percentages while being the primary ball handler and distributor as a 40/30 SG. Literally a circus act for Washington fans so they keep buying Season tickets in Hopes John Wall stops getting high one day and plays basketball.

Booker, Beal, and Mitchell over Middleton? Middleton got more 2nd team All-NBA votes

Sixers bench is as good as it has ever been under the Embiid/Simmons "The Process" era. That's with Simmons playing of course. Last year the bench was non-existent, I mean Mike Scott was basically the only guy off the bench we could use last season (him and James Ennis who we dumped mid-season this year) and this season he's not even in the rotation at all. This season we're in much better shape bench wise, but that's assuming Simmons is healthy and playing. Also, Glen Robinson III has been out the entire bubble too and has yet to play so he's another missing piece.

Burks, Thybulle, Horford, GRIII, Korkmaz, and Scott is solid compared to what we used to have ssuming our starting rotation was healthy this season.

Middleton hasn't played SG since rookie year, (2014-2015, he did play that too, my mistake,) he's a wing/forward and even then I'd take Booker, Mitchell or Brown over him personally.



That's my guy. Aye.

I like Beal, I think he's just on a shitty team/situation.

Definitely do not agree with your Alex Caruso statement though, that's a terrible take.

pos 2 and 3 are amalgamated in todays game. interchangeable really. a 3 can typically drive better and a 2 can typically shoot from the perimeter better but again in todays game the latter argument can be chalked up to style of play of the team rather than positional duties.

i.e a small forward is basically a shooting guard. Unless you are Lebron James in which case a 3 is a 1,2,3,4,5.



Probably better than that ya I mean its a circus act but he can balance on the ball while doing the 5 hoola hoop spinnin and provide 30ppg so he cant be that bad.

Middleton looking like playoff Middleton I see....5-for-22 (23% FG) so far in the playoffs averaging with 4+ turnovers a game. Averaging a whopping 8 PPG on 23% FG.


Like I said he's on Tobias Harris level
