No... those three guards, Ant, CJ are all kind of similar impact where in the right role they can lead an offense but it's more about what teammates they have. Id focus on building a roster with those teammates first. One day if we get more pieces or a star - we can then easily add a guard like that - if it's still even needed.
Wrote this in the other thread, too : With Sixers looking to trade 3rd pick to get rid of George, I'd send them Ayton as an Embiid insurance policy and Grant and take George and 3rd pick. Then send Simons to Magic for 16 and filler. Draft Bailey, Demin and a good C prospect at 16. We'd be set for years. Alternatively, an insane one - pack #3, 11, 16, George and 28 swap back to Bucks for Giannis. Scoot, Shae, Camara, Deni, Giannis, Clingan, Walker, Murray plus bench fillers. That is a contender right there
The Sixers aren't using the 3rd pick to salary dump. They're using George as salary filler and trying to get another star.
Not with Embiid and Maxey still on books. Second apron is brutal. They need to add depth and Embiid insurance policy. Grant gets you George numbers at lower price and Ayton can play major minutes so you can save Embiid for playoffs.
Sixers want to use a player they overpaid and who is injury prone and might be a season or 2 from hitting a wall like Grant and become just average at best to get a superstar in return. As much as I get on Cronin for being average at best I think Morey has lost his fucking mind and is the definition of delusional - period.
That's what I'm saying - we can afford to take on George, and if we go young his contract will come off the books in time for extensions. No one is giving them a superstar for George + 3rd.
NO NO NO ... NO NO NO NO NO NO .. NO NO NO to PG We have enough dead weight ( bad contracts ) on this roster as it is let's not add to it. I just looked at the contract and it's worse then I thought FUCK NO 25-6 -- 51.6 26-7 -- 54.1 27-8 -- 56.5 -- Player option
Well, then we go for the insane option - ship him to Bucks with all the picks and get Giannis. There are all just fun fan musings. The important part is - we really have a lot of good pieces to trade. Add to that how weird(cough, cough) draft was with none of the heavy tankers getting rewarded and this offseason will be a crazy one for the league.
Camara and Shae are featured... but I wouldn't say Scoot is absent. He get's about as much time as Clingan and Deni in film.
I mean, that pick would be post Jokic. With that and 2030 Bucks swap, we would have a good chance to retool of this generation does not pan out. MPJ is a mental midget, though and gets lost on defense. Nor a Billups guy.
