Philly, u have no idea how much I wanna see Ball, Simmons and Embiid play together next year.
only thing is Sixers want Simmons to man the Point. I see them drafting a stud shooter. I suppose they could do that with the Lakers pick though. Ball has a good 3p%, but I don't watch enough UCLA ball to know if he needs the ball in his hands.
Ball: Super high basketball IQ. Really good shooter despite stupid mechanics. He would be going #1 for sure if not for his shitty shooting mechanics. Not going to be an elite defender, but should be able to guard both guard positions and some 3s at a sufficient enough level, he's 6'6 with a 6'8 wingspan and very athletic. I think the only knock on his game is his overconfidence, he seems like a punk at times.
The 6ers would have an absolutely devastating transition game, a high paced offense with good spacing, high IQ and passing at several positions. And on defense, the embiid/Saric frontcourt is promising, Ball and Simmons on the wings will likely be competent defenders and if they snagged a solid 3 and D specialist who doesnt need the ball.. that would be scary. Covington could be the 6th man off the bench in a patrick patterson esque roll at PF and I still kinda like the Canadian who's name escapes me as a potential scoring punch off the bench. Not to mention any other role players left on the team when all is said and done.
My prediction is the 6ers will win 30 games next year if they get ball.

Jimmy Butler back on the trading block.
What do you think it takes to land him? Think they'd take Okafor and the Lakers 1st round pick this year? Or is that just wishful thinking? I'd even throw Saric in
I really hope Jimmy Butler comes to LA.
I wanted him when there were first trade rumors about him.
Interesting, wonder how wade would feel about this. Honestly don't hate the idea of a bulls rebuild right now, butler is a great player, but the bulls are in the also-ran category right now and I don't see that changing anytime soon with the roster structure.
The idea of tanking with Wade at the helm is weird, but cool. Dude has won it all and doesnt have anything left to prove. His prime is behind him and he's signed long term for his hometown. He can sit back, make his money, take advantage of his huge market in chicago with endorsements AND he can have fun being a mentor for any future bulls stars. + he can still turn back the clock when he wants for any surprise playoff births like in miami last year.. what a beast lol.
If I were wade, Id be down.
@philly with saric, it's a maybe. That's 2 maybe good players and one high lottery pick in a pretty good draft. I would probably prefer noel if I were the bulls though. Okafor is a real project atm.
Speaking of big trades, what you guys think milsap comes to toronto for? Ross + sullinger + picks/rookies?
Horrid, horrid showing last night for the the Warriors vs Grizzlies. Ice cold in the 4th quarter and OT. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
Fun game to watch tn vs the bulls, was old school basketball for most of the game other then some weak ref calls on both ends.
Butler really steps up against his boys lowry and demar lol. Would be really cool to see butler get traded to the celtics and milsap to the raptors to have 3 legit title contenders in the east.
Bradley + the nets pick should get butler imo.
