candyman93 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Kinda crazy that Mike Dantoni will never win a title. His system just can’t get it done, but it’s always going to be known as exciting basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think simmons is off the table now with brown gone. They will probably want to find a HC who can make it work with both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmons typically is healthier and easier to build around IMO due to him having a somewhat similar skill set to guy like Lebron, Luka, and Giannis. He can’t thrive with a big clogging the lane and having Embiid trying to space the floor and shoot jumpers wastes his talents down low. Their games just don’t compliment each other.

I don’t think they could ever work but I think the Philly FO wants to give another coach a try before they break it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I absolutely think Embiid and Simmons work together. They just cant work together with Harris and Horford as your 3/4 options and no shooters. If they still had Reddick + a few other shooters I think that team would be amazing. Unfortunately they have no trade assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Lets say the Celtics call and offer 14 + 26 + 30 + next years first for #5. Do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of really exciting high upside guys projected to go later - ex Cole Anthony, Pokushevsky, Maxey, Patrick Williams, RJ Hampton etc.... I'm not convinced taking multiple shots doesnt give you higher upside in this draft. And guys like Vassell, Okoro, Okongwu are more high floor guys projected top 10 anyway.

I generally agree, but it’s also about assets. 5 first round picks over 2 drafts add significant assets to a team who has next to nothing as far as young talent. Realistically it’s 3 guys. The slew of picks from Boston may not net a star, but they could net some role players (a 3/D wing, a defensive minded big, a long term developmental guy, etc) that could be valuable moving forward as potential trade pieces. I’d prefer to draft a stud too, but I’m not sure one is there at 5 and in that case I’d be tempted with multiple chances to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was 11, 21, and 30, then maybe. But with 14, 26, and 30 you are likely only to get 1 of Aleksej Pokusevski, Patrick Williams, Daniel Oturu, and Jalen Smith. At 11, 21, and 30, then you have a chance at 2 of them and still get a high floor guy like we did with Windler in the last draft. It's not just about the number of assets, but the location of those assets and where said players are projected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
