I knew I shouldn't have quit drinking again back in January. I could have been in downtown Cleveland drinking free beer last night!

Does Kyrie still think the Earth is flat?

If you think Jimmy Butler was the problem, then you need to catch up on T-Wolves basketball. Not even the Wolves fans in here are bashing him, but the remaining roster minus him and their coaching staff.

Also Simmons and Embiid are the real deal. Hate to break it to you. Embiid is what you would hope Ayton turns out to be. And additionally, no team would take any suns player, including Booker over Simmons.
Yeah, agree....

Booker wants to be the next James Harden , sans elite playmaking ability.

He's a really good scorer and is capable of initiating the offense.

But, I'd take Simmons too.

How about a Jackson/Wiggins MMA style fight? I think it would be much closer than people think.:lie:

No Stack Jack would murder Wiggins. It'd be a deer in the headlights. Wiggins don't want that smoke.

Wiggins is an unknown but there's plenty of footage of Jackson knocking the shit out of fans, lol. He choked out Steve Francis at a club, he got a gun charge in a strip club parking lot. Stack is bout that life.

Whatever you say. If Booker was on Philly he’d probably be a two time All Star by now. He’s younger than Simmons and averaging 25-5-5 a game. He needs to improve defensively for sure. certainly didn’t have the cast around him that Simmons did.

Phoenix came into Philly last season and Booker cooked the entire team. Made Simmons and Embiid look silly on more than one occasion.

Booker is able to put up monster numbers on a team that doesn't do anything. Hell compare his numbers to Monta Ellis during his Warrior years and you'll see quite a close comparison. Meanwhile the overhyped Simmons (in his first year playing) and Embiid who you said was playing every third game(63 games last year, including rest games) got them to a 3 seed in the East.

Booker is a good player, but there's no validity to his numbers just yet. Booker's won a total of 68 games in his first three years. The 76ers won 52 last year alone. Huge difference.

Ellis averaged 25 points one time. Booker is doing that at age 21. And I’ll take a chance on Phoenix winning more than 68 games in three seasons if they were in the East.

Yeah I wouldn't wanna get in a fight w/ Jackson.

Probably, but not much more. I'm not even trying to be a hater, but your teams just weren't that good talent wise. Also you guys had a better record against Western Conference teams last year than you did Eastern conference teams.

Booker's a great talent and I hope he develops, but no one is taking him over Simmons or Embiid.

So basically what Cleveland should have done with Kyrie. But also could just be a ploy to extract more value. I'd say the chances of him landing with the Knicks, Nets or Clips is going to be on the lower end of the spectrum.

Honestly Philly should go after him. I know it's reported that he doesn't want to play with young players, but I think it's more he doesn't want to play with undisciplined players. Simmons, Embiid and Covington would show him that they know how to compete. Especially Embiid, lol.

If I'm Philly I'd offer Fultz, Bayless and Muscala's expiring contracts and a 1st round pick for JB.

T-Wolves get back a former #1 pick from a year ago, 14M in expiring contracts and a 1st round pick likely in the 24-25 range. Then they could deal Teague for other assets.

Too much.

Philly may well offer a deal for Butler, but Fultz won't be part of it. If they wouldn't part with him in a Kawhi offer, they would be hella foolish to trade him for Butler. Reports out of Philly is that Fultz's shot looks great and they are very high on him again.

Yeah, I doubt they deal Fulz. Which is why the guys they got for Nova kid have to be in play if they're gonna swing a deal.

You insight is quite enlightening.

George isn't better than Jimmy Butler. Minnesota was never a contender last year. Pretty obvious logic really.

Having Butler, George and KAT would've been a really good start.

And as I've said before they shoudl've gone for Lowry over Teague and Gibson.
