I'd like the Cs to look at klay Thompson ,he'd be an automatic upgrade off the bench, and someone with champship pedigree!

Sure but they don't have the money as he isn't coming here for the vet minimum

I see.. we need a consistent scorer off the bench.. the Js minutes need to be managed next season.

More than last year? JT averaged 36 and JB ave'd 33. They were fine.

Well maybe it seemed that they logged alot of mins. But in reality they didn't.. JT is playing for team USA this year so he definitely will need the same mins managing.

An unpopular take…trade Pritchard and Thompson can have his minutes and $.

I doubt Thompson would sign for $7.5M. Paul George just signed for $50M+.

Interesting take... I wouldn't mind that.. I know that we don't have the cap space.. however wyc has already said he doesn't care he'll spend the $$$..

Sure…pay him something reasonable. Him coming off the bench would be huge. Somewhere between 20-30 minutes a game.

Agreed! I still think klay can help us. Champ mettle a humble guy that played with a tenacity. Still can step up and hit it from deep.

I fear the Knicks way more than the 76ers. Regardless the East has four high tier teams.

Same here. Embid will drop 40 a game on us.. but the Knicks have much more firepower.. especially when Randle returns.. they are the 2nd best team in EC imo.

Imo

1. Celtics
2. Knicks
3. Bucks
4. 76ers

76ers fixed their problem of having an oft injured star who tends to turtleshell in the biggest games, and who always seems to disappoint in the end…by adding a second guy who is exactly like that.

Also, George is 34, 4 yr deal. I don’t love that signing but I understand why they’d do it.

Thats if Embiid actually can play. Hes not known for his durability

but the Knicks have much more firepower.. especially when Randle returns.. they are the 2nd best team in EC imo.

Indy, NY, Philly, MIL are all in that bucket.

ThE pRoCeSs ended up being:

-One player acquired by the actual tanking (Embiid)

-One player who was taken 21st where tanking was irrelevant (Maxey)

-One player signed as free agent mercenary (George)

Probably better just to try to win games.

Milwaukee ehhhh... Gianni a year older, Middleton, dame... banged up aging team.. indy definitely.. they are a run n gun team that is deep and fun to watch. The Knicks grind you, make you work for everything.. league has no answer for Brunson.. they are a force to be reckoned with a healthy Randle.. your right embid is a monster whenever healthy though..

A) No and B) it still wouldn’t be nearly enough money.

…and lose.

Didn’t realize until now I can have multiple orgasms at once.
