What the is Philly doing. Lose Butler so you can get Horford? Philly has no backcourt anymore.
This is a solid move. Horford at PF helps Embid at C. I like this move. Boston needs a big now.
well that explains the tobias signing
dno what the they're doing, but its interesting. keep in mind they also got josh richardson back in the butler deal, so that role is filled with a decent player anyway. im intrigued
Yeah, Media the other day(s) trying to lure us into it. I cringe to even think we thought about it.
We must stand fast in the ranks now. Keep our heads. Put the blinders on, cross our fingers & toes & hope we're delivered. I'm mentally exhausted, even after I napped! I'm just beside myself.
if jimmy really just wanted out of philly, then all things considered they've done well for themselves. lifted horford off the celtics, who are their main compe ion in the east if kawhi leaves. bucks got weaker. they just need to replace re with a shooter. maybe danny green...
It's really $97 million, with $12 million in bonuses for championships![]()
My issue with this is it's essentially Harris over Butler (Harris cant defend 3's on a full time basis), but if Butler wanted out getting Josh Richardson is very nice, he's an upgrade over JJ Red .
Don't know about that chief.
Better then butler for the amount of money then butler
Yeah I’m changing my mind on them losing Butler. It sounds like he wanted out and it wasn’t going to work.
Red is terrible on defense & not so hot in the playoffs. Definitely an upgrade at the 2 guard with Richardson.
Butler was a few seconds away from going to the conference finals and now he wants to start over in Miami? I don't get that.
Not to mention Horford was probably the guy who gave Embiid the most trouble tbh
Likes nude heat women
as baseline bum said, butler doesn't like having to work in the month of may. he just wants to get buckets in the regular season then vacation in miami
Horford isn't what he was in '17-'18, Embiid destroyed him during their last meeting: (Giannis also figured him out in the postseason)
Even Ibaka owns him: http://bkref.com/tiny/XM4v6![]()
Yeah, totally re ed.
Simmons, Richardson, Harris, Horford, Embiid - seems like a legit starting five to me with three role players who are decent defenders and and shooters to space out for the other two stars.
It really falls down to how much Simmons and Embiid can develop. Ben needs to shoot, plain and simple. Embiid needs to get his conditioning in check. If he can play 40 mpg in the playoffs, he can lead a well balanced team deep in the playoffs.
That starting 5 just seems too slow and unathletic. I see Giannis chewing them up like a dead pros ute in a wood chipper.
Tough to build a LEGIT contender on Ben Simmon's jumper & Embiid's conditioning.
Put Horford on Bledsoe & dare him to shoot. The Bucks can't bench him b/c Brogdon is gone. Giannis will essentially be doubled by Simmons/Horford.
