Lol wut

I'm hoping we add Ariza after he inevitably is bought out by Phoenix and leaves soon. He makes too much sense. Also was thinking about someone like Otto Porter or Kelly Oubre maybe via trade (trying to think of any Fultz scenarios). Or even freaking Josh Jackson from Phoenix. He seems to be losing minutes in Phoenix because of the fact that he isn't the best fit for what Suns are trying to do. Swap Fultz for him? Who says no? Phoenix needs a PG, and Fultz still has hope if he goes somewhere not here (I really think that if he is on the team all year this season, Jimmy Butler ends up just breaking the little spirit left in that kid when it's over with....). And for FAs in 2019....right now my #1 hope for us is to resign Jimmy, and then sign Tobias Harris. Harris is gonna be a FA after the seasons over. He's only 26 still. Has developed into a very good two way forward and has improved from not being able to shoot 3s at first years ago to now being a 41% shooter on 4+ attempts a game. A lineup with Simmons, Butler, Harris, and Embiid as 4/5 starters is filthy. So much defense. So much versatility. So much scoring. So much playmaking. Simmons would be able to do his best work distributing the ball and making plays all over the court with his elite basketball IQ.

Kemba would be a horrible fit here. How do you play Kemba, Butler and Simmons all together on one team? Simmons' development doesn't need to be stunted any more either. Simply put we need to go after shooters, ideally a wing player who doesn't need the ball in his hands and can just shoot spot up 3s and play defense. Wed to move on from Fultz, ideally in a trade where we get something for him but right now the guys trade value is legit just nothing. Nobody knows what to make of him. For now, we will definitely be adding guys via buyouts and such like we did last year in Bellinelli and Erlyasova (just not Korver)

Hahahahahaha Lincoln Riley is never leaving OU to come coach newly signed, $150 million Dak Prescott with the Jones family running things. Keep dreaming though.

I just wanna bring attention to this stat that I heard today: we have scored more than 24 points ONCE. That was the Giants game. So we have been better than mediocre on one occasion scoring wise. That's it. (Side stat that's arguably more egregious than the one above: the Redskins have now gone 9 games straight this year in which there have been ZERO lead changes. So they either just score first and win, or get the crap kicked out of them. God our division is awful) But isn't it telling that in the year of the offensive explosion, where you literally are able to dominate even with a bottom 3 defense (see: Chiefs), that we have managed to score over 24 pts one freaking time. It's a combination of a lot of things. The OL has been hit way worse with injuries than it was last season and Wizniewski basically belongs on the back of a milk carton. We have absolutely no run game, so bad that we are clamoring for Josh Adams to get Carries. Josh Adams! That dude is so average it's almost comical. Nothing about him stands out to me. then in general, our injuries have just been everywhere instead of just a few key positions like last season. We our down are top 3 corners. Our starting safety. Our starting DT and DE. Not only has JP been gone most season but Lane has been dinged up badly and Wiz is somewhere in Qahar lost I think. Ajayi is down. We have no run game to speak of and lost Blount too in FA. Mack's been gone all year, Wallace went down 2nd game, Jeffrey was gone through the first month with Carson... Like, this year is literally twice as bad as last year's injury wise. So when I see all these morons on TV talking about " Why can't the Eagles compete??? They won with some players hurt last year!" I scoff and throw a bottle at my screen. It's not even comparable. And I won't even delve into the losses of Reich and DFP. It would be different if Doug had been modest enough to replace those two with some other fresh, intuitive offensive minds rather than just promoting two positional coaches who clearly are not on that level. Maybe it was hubris. Maybe not. But Doug is at his best when he is the President of a Democratic Nation. Not the leader of the People's Republic of China.

Happy with this trade. Saric has been disappointing this year. Covington is a very underrated 3 and D wing which we need, but we just got a 29 year old All Pro caliber SG/SF who can defend very well, plays really hard, and wants to win at all costs. I think to go to a young team, this is the best one for Butler to go to. Embiid is the kind of player that you hate if you're not on his team, but love if you are. Guy is all about winning, loves to talk trash, speaks his mind....Can you imagine what he would have done if he were KAT when Butler berated him?? Lol. Them dude's would have been throwing fists. Butler and Embiid will be our two stars who just fly around the floor, talking ish, making plays. And then Simmons is the quiet, deadly playmaker who Butler is going to LOVE playing with. Think about all the PGs he has played with in CHI and MIN. Simmons' passing ability and his effort on D will both make Butler very happy And like @ninjapiratesaid, we didn't even give up the Heat pick!!! @ninjaneer

You're kidding right? Payne is so inferior to Cox, that Payne should immediately offer his wife or girlfriend to Fletcher whenever they meet.

I guess maybe not in the way we knew her on the show. But IMO in that world she'd be looked at as one simply because of who she was. But I guess she wasn't exactly deceptive in the way that Maergery was in that Maergery was incredibly charismatic and charming and affable but all with a purpose. Cersei moreso just used fear to get people on her side so yeah you're right really. But I still believe Watts will be playing someone with Lannister blood. Lann the Clever sort of established house Lannister. And though people assume it was a man, we don't know for sure.

My thoughts as well. I think the show might purposefully kind of switch around some details compared to what we know from the stories told in the books to show how much stories get embellished and how just small details can change over time.

The only thing known about Watts' character is that she's a "charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret". Hmm. Sounds like Cersei. I'm guessing she could be playing Lann The Clever. Who was best known for being a legendary hero who helped build the house of Lannister.

Yeah, I would gladly give up a third or fourth for Clinton-Dix. It's even better for Washington in that with a safety and how deflated the value of the position is, the franchise tag is still an option too

Key to my heart

Whos got two thumbs and is the freaking God of Draftkings.? This guy. Me. Bacon. Aka Brock. Sup I didn't even bother with the Bills Pays crap show...but I won $150 total by doing a few different NBA contests (I entered into three total with just a $3 entry, $1 entry, and $5 entry lol) . The $3 one I didn't place. There was like 9,000 entries in that one. I placed 3rd out of 792 entries and won $80, and the other placed 67th out of 39,635 people lol. Thank you Klay Thompson, KAT, DeRozan, Oladipo, Siakam, Zach Collins, and Ibaka I know people never care about other people's fantasy teams....but I just had to gloat . Ive been wagering on NFL for years on a weekly basis, and I stopped keeping track but I remember making $6,000 one NFL season in college. But I can't believe I only recently got into daily fantasy. It's fantastic. I'll do a bunch of small $1-$10 entry fee contests, and sometimes a bigger one if I've eaten more bars that day than normal. I put in just $50 3 weeks ago and I'm up to $700 now (!!!!)

Tbh it might have happened in my imagination. Srs question...what's up with your OL? I know Frederick is out indefinitely...but have the other 4 starters from last year's team just not been as good? Have they been banged up?

Im 99% sure that @Matts4313 and I argued rather vigorously about Collins..... He claimed that Collins was good. I disagreed
