Who you going to bump to get him the minutes? Realistically only 9 guys get rotation minutes.

Thybulle might start but even if not, he takes GP and Hart’s minutes. Some of Dame, Ant, and Grant’s minutes. He’s the best defender this team has had since Wes or even going back to Sheed. 4th string? Get out of here lol…
 
I’m glad we got some picks.

Interested to see if Reddish becomes something other than a bust (can he pull a Wiggins for us?)

Interested to see how/where/if Thybulle gets used.

Not a huge change but we got dumpers (guys we can dump and not think twice), picks and possibilities.

Curious how the team gels and what moves it may portend for the future.

Seriously hoping Sharpe gets significantly more minutes and grows and learns so he is better prepared for becoming a cornerstone.

Chauncey has already said he's starting Nas. I think there's a battle of wills between him and Cronin. Cronin's trying to FORCE him to start Sharpe and Chauncey is just stubbornly refusing (in the same way that he refuses to play Jabari).

That's a nice made up narrative you got there.
 
I doubt if our coaching staff has any idea about rotations ...I'm sure they'll figure it out over the break. Sharpe will be in the rotation but probably as a 2 guard off the bench..a 6 man role.

I respect your input, and hope you're right. Without knowing more about him, it's hard for me to see a 'defensive specialist' that only averages 2.7 ppg getting rotation minutes.

... and the use of 'lol' on this site gets old. It seems that it's used as a slight to diminish the other person's perspective or input. We're all no experts here. We're fans. I enjoy reading everyone's take, even if they're significantly different than mine.
 
I would assume they're going to Reddish a real shot at some point during the season so they can make a determination if they want to extend his qualifying offer. Proabably won't start, but will get 15+ minutes a game once it's clear we're not a playoff contender.

Reddish, Blueish, or Greenish. He still sucks
 
We were in TWO, not one, 4-team trades. For your confused viewing pleasure...the combined trades in an easy-to-memorize format.
-----
TRADE #1: THYBULLE FOR PAYTON

gave
Gary Payton II

got
Matisse Thybulle
**We got a guard defender who has enough talent to stay in the league without exciting floor-burning self-destruction.**
-----
TRADE #2: A NO. 1 (19th overall if the draft were now) FOR HART

gave
Josh Hart
**That's 2 Mr. Charismas we dumped before they dumped us after we inflated their value (Gary Trent).**

got
#1 2023 New York (protected top-14: if lottery, #2 2024 Detroit, #2 2026 Minn or NY [less favorable], #2 2027 NY, #2 2028 NY)
**There's no Stepien, since NY owns their own #1 2024 & #1 2025. So why isn't the contingency #1 2024 New York??**
Cam Reddish
Kevin Knox
#2 2023 Atlanta/Brooklyn/Charlotte (2nd-most favorable)
#2 2024 Atlanta (removes protection top-55 from when Atlanta traded #2 2024 Atlanta to Portland for Skal Labissiere in 2020)
Ryan Arcidiacono

Greg Brown III (waived)
Bojan Dubljevic

Got it. I'll have it memorized for the quiz tomorrow. Hey, somebody said you were dead. Is that true?
 
This won't happen but it should be Dame, Shae, Cam, Jerami and Trendon. Feature Ant and Nurk off of the bench together and talk about their +/- after every game to drive their trade value up.

I want Shae to get every minute we can give him. I want to see what Cam can do. I think we know what Thybulle is and should resing him for it. The only thing we need to know is does the Dame/Shae back court look like it could work because the Dame/Ant back court fucking sucks together. They are so far and away less than the sum of their parts. What will happen is that the team will stay with the Dame/Ant back court thinking that playing them both the most minutes will drive Ant's value up the most but I don't think that's the case.

Dame, Shae, Cam, Jerami, Trendon, Ant, Nurk, Thybulle and I guess Drewbanks. Feature Ant and Nurk dominating bench competition to improve their value as the two salaries that go out with first rounders to get Dame a true second star, while at the same time getting Shae more experience and ready to be a starting SG on a contending team next season.

I thought one on one that Shae was the best defender against Shai during the Thunder game.
 
If we tank again, we could have an asset pool of a lottery pick, high non-lottery first rounder (Knicks dependent), our future picks, Ant, Nurk, other players. .

I was thinking about Cronin's "pushing all our chips in" comment and it made me think about Philly underachieving again and Joel asks out and we take a swing

Pushing all our chips may mean that a year from now, we're rolling with

Dame
Sharpe
Mikal/OG
Jerami
Embiid

That's a workable framework, a crazy scenario. It's free to dream #aimhigh
 
Our rotation right now is:
- Lillard vs. refs, a whole lotta chirping on tap
- Simons finding avenues of escape on defense
- Grant looking forward to his big payday
- Nurkic wearing silly costumes
- Nassir playing total spazball
- Sharpe might get pinged on radar
- Eubanks getting blamed for everything
- Watford stats, if he doesn't foul out
- Keon dazzling in garbage time
and a handful of new RFA's that should see action, but might get cut this summer.

Sounds like a winner.
 
I think to get Embiid and Bridges you would need 7 unprotected FRPs
