    Noel, Landry and Brand are Philly's only fit front court at the moment.

    Pretty shocking for a team full of bigs. I guess you can count Hollis Thompson as well who really is a SG, played a fair chunk as PF today against Brooklyn... Can this season be over already.

    Man it's gonna be another rough 5 years IMO. I don't think Hinkie will see this vision through. Brown is a nice coach, but there is literally zero to build on besides Jah & Noel, who I'm not sure can consistently play alongside each other.

    Another downside to the tank is that now you're going to have to overpay FA's because you've been one of the worst teams in the league going on 3-4 years now.

    Roster isn't looking good now, but I reckon we have a few assets that will improve our team next season. :embiid:

    Dario Saric is very keen to join the Sixers next season, haven't seen much from him but heard a lot of good things about him over in Europe. I think we will be unlucky not to get Simmons or Ingram as well. Then hopefully another late pick gem! :')

    Need to turn things around quickly, that 2012 playoff series feels like a long time ago :emoji_slight_frown:

    Jah is good, Noel is good...Joel, who the f--- knows lol. Ish Smith, Covington, and Grant are good role players. Saric needs to resemble a star on the perimeter, just try to have realistic expectations because in Chicago we thought Mirotic would be the 2nd coming of Dirk. You guys got a lot of picks, it's just a matter of hitting on the right guy.

    Tbh Bulls would've won the title that year if Rose didn't tear his ACL.

    @redsoxx you guys think you have a shot at KD? With a few upgrades Boston could be a sleeper IMO.

    Probably not KD, Horford is possible though. If it were all about winning the C's would be a top 2-3 destination this off-season, considering the 3 upcoming Nets picks and the fact that they are already where they are.

    Ainge has a history with Durant and it was widely known that he wanted Durant over Oden whether the C's won the lottery or landed at #2 that year. Danny even got fined for sitting next to Durant's mom back when he was at Texas. I always wonder what would have happened if they would have hit on the lottery that year. Probably no KG or Allen, maybe Pierce would have been traded and then they build around Big Al and Durant.

    2 teams fighting for the 8 seed in the East over the 3 seed in the East vs the 3 seed in the West? I know the Celtics are banged up, but still.

    So Matt Barnes & Jon Henson both got ejected, after Barnes got ejected he ran into the Bucks locker room looking for Henson and the Police had to come to sort everything out
