He's a perfect fit next to Simmons and Embiid. I wonder how far they could trade up with Korkmaz and their own 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't trade up with that pick and they come out with a combination of Mikal Bridges and Gary Trent Jr (assuming he goes pro), I'll be beyond pissed. Those two are perfect modern day NBA fits on that roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having 2 big men, even if they can shoot, strangles LeBron and Simmons. And if you just plant Saric on the 3P line, you'd be better off having Covington in because he's a better defender and lets LeBron defend the worst player on the opposing team. In this scenario, he'd be better off on the 2nd unit with Fultz. Saric against back-up big men would be great for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Huge matchup tonight between Nuggets and Wolves. Definitely most hyped I've been for a regular season game this year. Not a literal must win for the Nuggets, but if they can't beat the Wolves at home, I have a hard time believing they'll beat them on the road next week, and they'll need to win at least 1 of these 2 games against them.

Those two are perfect modern day NBA fits on that roster. It's highly unlikely he'd fall to 10 or 11, but I want to see it happen because I want Philly to turn into a juggernaut. Even without LeBron that team is going to be serious trouble if they get Bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs is a joke and deserves for his team to limp across the finish line and finish 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG: Ben Simmons - Markelle Fultz - TJ McConnell SG: Mikal Bridges (11) - Gary Trent Jr (26) - Timothe Luwawu-Cabbarot SF: Robert Covington - Vince Edwards/Gary Clark (37) PF: LeBron James - Dario Saric - Ersan Ilyasova (MLE?)

Hes way to streaky for my liking. Hes barely a better 3 pt shooter than Lebron. You would still have Fultz coming off the bench so I assume JJ is still in the starting lineup. Ben, JJ, Lebron, Dario, Embiid. Dario and Embiid already play a ton around the 3pt line so I wouldnt see much changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario and Embiid already play a ton around the 3pt line so I wouldnt see much changing Redick is not coming back if you sign LeBron. You'd have to dump Bayless and another player to be able to offer him even a semi-competitive contract. Unless Redick takes a big discount, he's gone in the scenario that LeBrom comes to town. Covington is a streaky shooter, but his value on defense and taking that pressure off of LeBron is huge. Plus Saric is much better suited as a secondary playmaker and scorer than as a stand-still-and-hope-the-ball-comes-to-me player, which is what he'd be. I know he CAN do that and has done that to an extent this season, but it would hurt Covington to ask more of him on the 2nd unit and hurt Saric by not giving him as many opportunities.

I certainly am not polishing my knob to the Celtics' now slim chances of winning the East. Trust me, I'd have loved for the Cavs to get some serious competition. Raptors still might give it to them, but obviously I am not going to count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JJ is back 100% if Lebron signs or not. He loves this team and theres a reason they paid him 23 million. I expect him to sign like a 2 year very team friendly deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
