2024 NBA Playoffs

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
And once again Embiid does something dangerous. If OG didn't have the rim to hold onto there he could have took a nasty fall because Embiid two hand shoves his lower body in mid air.
 
Brunson is one hell of a basketball player.

Thibs catches a lot of shit for minutes and he ranked #1 as a coach NBA players don’t want to play for. Villanova Boys live for his shit. Talk about a coach who’s made his players better.

Philly … they kept Simmons and Harris and let Jimmy Butler go. Just idiotic. Then they traded Simmons for Harden (good for contracts, not enough change on the court) and they didn’t get much for Harden when he left.

I‘d bet the house the Philly sports columns and sports talk shows will be abuzz with signing Maxey to a max deal and dumping just about everybody else, including Embiid. The natives here have had it with Joel. They’re just tired of his shit.

Oof what kind of return could they get on Embiid my goodness...

They only have 3 players (Embiid, Paul Reid and Jeff Dowtin, that’s it) under contract for next year. Fasten your seatbelts, Morey about to go hyper warp speed
 
At least the wife & I get five free Chick-Fil-A nuggets tomorrow.

I‘m getting a Dunkin Donut tomorrow in dishonor of UFA Tobias Harris. His ass will be leaving Runway 27 Left before sunset tomorrow.

Paul Reed is not guaranteed. They also have Ricky Council IV under contract FWIW.

Maxey is a lock for a max contract. Embiid should be back but it wouldn’t shock me if he’s traded. Most of the other guys will be seeking employment elsewhere.

Milwaukee and Philly both out - consensus two of top three EC teams.

Here’s what I found :


Only 4 players are under contract: Embiid, Paul Reid, Jeff Dowtin and Ricky Council. Embiid is the only guaranteed contract per above now that they didn’t make it through the 1st round. Dowtin is a club option and both Reid and Council are non-guaranteed. Talk about flexibility.

At this point I’d actively look to trade him to the west. No idea the package you could get for him, but with Maxey’s age I’d be looking for the right pieces to build around him.

They would have a shitload of money in FA, a young star guys will want to play with, a good coach, and whatever they get from an Embiid trade. If you’re going to do it, now is the time with effectively a blank slate.

Hart is 29 and Okoro is what just 23? Okoro is still young... But man if Hart is not on something to help elevate his game and play these kind of minutes... He has been a machine...
He only excels at defense and in the fast break. Until he can up his three point volume while at an average to above average %, I would be anxious about the Cavs giving him an extension. He's been borderline unplayable in this series.

After 4 seasons, he's just a guy.
