2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[B Sox]

Adding a legit 3rd piece on the wing to Dame and CJ has always been the move, IMO, but that **** is hard, especially when Anfernee Simons hasn’t really popped yet, Zach Collins was hurt, and the kid from UNC hasn’t really done anything.

 

[getback]

How many shooting coaches have the Sixers had since Simmons and Fultz were drafted

Has to be a record

I feel like they need less shooting coaches and more spiritual advisors.

They’ve been behind the 8 ball since all them bad signings years ago

Trent was a huge come up for them and Powell on his own is a nice rotation player but what was the rationale behind that trade again. why couldn’t they go after a bigger wing lol

 

[pmatic]

Blazers were the #1 offense in the league after the Powell-Trent trade.

Big wing costs a premium though (if teams even want to give them up in the first place), and their young guys haven’t shown enough to get them one. Much easier to get smaller guards.

None of them are needle movers. Especially when paired with Dame/CJ. Just decent role guys.

Imagine letting Ben Simmons force your organization to go on national television and make apologies.

 

[Moheezy]

doc making the rounds on behalf of the 76ers

He definitely has a future in politics.

You gotta fire doc today

I agree. Doc is so lucky Ben is getting all the attention. Once he's traded, all eyes will be on Doc.

xbox avy good to go

If you are talking Canadian politics, he's definitely a Liberal. Never takes sides, a bit two faced and do not hold themselves accountable when it matters.

 

[lawdog1]

Lock-out soon come

(Meaning when the current CBA is up)

 

[Coupé It]

I still can’t believe First Take became Stephen A & Friends…

Anyway, Doc is doing some good work today.

Tricky path forward for Portland.

They had a top 10 defense with Aminu & Harkless but the Pelicans just trapped Dame & let CJ go 1on1 & got the sweep.

They eventually shifted philosophies to what they have now, shooters & scorers all around Dame so they score 120 every night but give up 123.

You obviously want two-way wings but so does everyone else I don’t know who’s realistic with what they have to offer.

Is that MCW in the Li-Ning Sonic ixs?

Right. Also funny that folks have always said you can’t win it with that small/defensively challenged back court (Portland) and now they basically have a 3 guard lineup lol

 

[Zo gif]

Covington been on more teams than PJ's BM.

 

[blakep267]

The blazers retool with what lineup?

Dame, Powell Ben Nurkic and maybe simons. Zeller and nance off the bench

 

[blakep267]

Draymond Green elite?

Too often people conflate elite with being able to score 30 points a game. It’s a team sport after all. Draymond when he was younger was definitely elite and integral to that team winning

Tobias and doc are the people that are next up. Ben was the agreed upon scapegoat for this off-season.
