If they get Ellington then yes, I agree, but that's very risky considering he'll have a lot of suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True to some extent, but Rubio would definitely be a downgrade in terms of spacing and leadership. Even then, I would hope Conley could net more than an expiring contract and a late first rounder. Assuming Detroit doesn't make the playoffs and ends up with a decent lottery selection, I think they would be a team with keen interest in acquiring Conley in the offseason.

Utley Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 1 minute ago, seminoles1 said: The 76ers need defenders, but having someone who doesn't have to be defended more than negates that. Ross would have been more helpful. I would bet they use Ben in the post in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they get him. They were in on Matthews, too. I'd be surprised if they don't add a shooter, and there's even a chance that it's Ross in a buyout. Well, looks like Detroit is getting Ellington.

Utley Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 To be clear, this deal was about the picks, not the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true, but again, even when staggering minutes you're still going to have lineups featuring some combination of Simmons/McConnell/Boban, an extra scorer/shooter would go a long way.

Still have three weeks left to buy him out and they're 5 back in the loss column. The writing will be on the wall soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true. I'd bet Simmons is on the floor with at least two shooters and Embiid or just three shooters throughout the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least it'll be interesting to see how the rotations work out come playoff. Brown definitely has his work cut out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
