Who do you think is the best player?
All around? I would go with Richardson because he is really good on defense and his offense is solid.
Best offensive player? I would go with Dragic hands down

@TurnUpTheHeat I would feel better about the thorough ass whooping Embiid put on Whiteside- but damn if Embiid and the Sixers are not a little bit scary and id prefer Miami take the series.
Embiid- had not played for weeks: 23 pts, 3/4 from 3, 7 boards, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal
Whiteside- 5 pts, 2 rebounds , 1 block
Whiteside has a grand total of 40 minutes played in 3 playoff games and has made 3 field goals, and has 12 rebounds. Simply awful.
I agree.
No Heat fan has defended him, his play, or made excuses.
I have a feeling that you would go with Richardson. You obviously watch more Heat than I do but I feel like Richardson's offense consists primarily of perimeter shooting. He can't create on his own. His defense is excellent though.
They had a shot of Whiteside sitting on the floor with Spoelstra talking to him. And he looked absolutely dejected. Like he didn't want to be there.
if you can get LeBron you get LeBron--- but Embiid just got extended, Simmons will be up soon- and Lebron isnt taking anything less than starting at 35M---- it would basically devastate a lot of the rest of their roster.I agree.

I really question if Philly should even try to go after LeBron.
Might help short term, but IMO prob not worth breaking up what they have.
What do you think the Heat should do with Dragic? He's your best player. Tyler Johnson gets 19 million a year? Ouch.
IMO, the Heat need dominant scorer at the swing. All of their guys that can play that role are defense first guys.
Yeah, TJ signed a backloaded contract that the Heat matched on when he was a RFA. At the time it didn't look *too* bad because he was still improving.
Tyler Johnson
Unfortunately, it seems he's reached his ceiling (which he's decent) but he's going to be playing under his value as opposed to over (like this season).
I think Miami needs to get another wing as well. Although Winslow is finally starting to show flashes of offense this year.
With Dragic, I'm not sure. I guess you put him on a 2-3 year deal that expires along with the other contracts Miami currently has.
4 fouls and 2 turnovers in 14 minutes isnt gonna get it done though. He almost kinda seems out of shape if you ask me. Like the speed of the game is too much for him right nowIm sure he’s frustrated.
End of the day, right or wrong, Spoelstra will decide his minutes.
He has no choice but to accept it.
He does have a choice how he handles it.

I dont know.
Even if not in top shape, you could still play well for a shorter time.
Seems like the Heat wastes his first 5-6 minutes on the court though.
I would think they would have tried to get him involved right away.
Why not try to get Embiid to pick up a quick foul or 2 ?
yah Johnson had that contract that ballooned in the last 2 years....dude make 38M in the next 2 years.......Yeah, TJ signed a backloaded contract that the Heat matched on when he was a RFA. At the time it didn't look *too* bad because he was still improving.

BTW, yet another reason why I love Ben Simmons.
I think all this nonsense about garbage time scores is ridiculous. And I think that Embiid and Covington are making way too much about it.
However, when Ben Simmons was asked about Dragic's shot on Monday he said "Nope. I would have dunked it". Exactly right, Ben.
I've noticed that we have a large contingent of Sixers fans all of a sudden. Where were they the last couple of years. I was only aware of two since being on SportsHoopla.
Ben Simmons pisses me off in terms of this series. Overall, I like the kid's attitude. His career is still in its infant stage, but man does he look like he could run this league. The only weakness in his game is his mid-to-long range jump shot. He gets that down and its over.
To be honest, there hasn't been much to talk about prior to this year other than waiting for the Process to come to fruition. One can only worship Sam Hinkie so much.....
