    the big "but" with Philly is they are "rumored" to have hopes of Lebron this offseason and want capspace for a max contract pursuit

    MF dribbles more than Riverman after 17 shots of tequila.

    C.J. is NOT the problem. The problem is we lack a serviceable small forward and Stotts' stupidity in line-ups.

    I mentioned this in the game thread... but I have always thought CJ came off as smug. Flame me if you want, but I've actually never really liked his attitude.

    Agreed, and of course he went to school in Pennsylvania.

    Would they give up Fultz? Would we want him? Their interesting assets:
    Covington (they wouldn't give him up but he'd be PERFECT) $16.7M
    Fultz, $7M
    Saric, $2.4M
    Richaun Holmes, $1.5M
    Korkmaz $1.5M
    Luwawu-Cabarrot, $1.4M

    To match salary:
    Redick, $23M (expires this year)
    Amir Johnson, $11M
    Bayless, $9M

    CJ makes $24M. Harkless makes $10M. Go nuts.

    Hey Neil:If this happens, please no trades to any Western Conference teams. Philly, Pacers, Chicago,Nets, Knicks....Why Not?

    they do want to get rid of Bayless's contract who is owed 9 mil this yr and next, Fulz/Saric/Bayless for CJ? We take Fultz and they take the sure thing scorer which works for them with a Simmons "point guard/fwd/ctr"

    A friend of me is philly fan and he said he wouldn't even trade fultz for CJ for 1 on 1. In his oppinion fultz is im 2 years a much better player than CJ

    You know who cares if the players have personalities? If they play well on the court you won’t care. James Harden is smug Adonal Foyle but you’d want him balling on your team.

    Nah. It's like with Nurk, he does great things, but for the love of god stop resorting to flopping. I don't like floppers on any team.

    And for the record, before anyone tries to assume what I mean or put words in my mouth, I want CJ traded for his play on the court and how he hurts the team more than he helps it, not his personality.

    They can be separated.

    agree, he looks like he is going thru the motions and has regressed from last yr and is becoming a ball hog

    Hell flop on defense every fucking possession as far as I'm concerned. Just don't flop on offense and take yourself out of the play.

    Just play the game with a shred of integrity. Not hard to ask. He does play with integrity about 80% of the time, but then he just takes himself out of plays on both sides

    :blink: Fuck. I honestly don't know whether I should flame Strenuus or if I'm angry because I am smug like C.J. You know there is a thing called "too much therapy."
