Watching the 6ers Jazz right now.
2) Fultz is struggling a bit. He is overdribbling big time. He has a lot to learn before he is going to be ready to help the 6ers win games.

Over dribbled early in the game, unnecessary turnovers.
Settled in for 23/5/5.
Hitting near 50% of his threes.

Not too shabby....

Has any team every gone from under 30 wins to over 60 wins in one season?

Let's get to 30 first.
Then we can start talking about 40 or higher....

Baby steps.
Just get in the playoffs.
Nightmare 1st round matchup for BOS.

Setting contracts aside.....who would you rather have.....Clarkson or Oladipo?

I like Clarkson.

Setting contracts aside?

Oladipo and it isn't close.

You underestimate the impact of playing alongside Westbrook. It isn't a positive one. Oladipo will have a career year in Indiana.

Yeah. I only watched the first 15 minutes or so. It is obvious he can really score.

Slow down man!

They aren't winning 60. Hell, just hope that embiid and Simmons each play 60 this year.

For those who dont feel like reading. Pretty much the normal starting salary for this role is 4 mill yearly. Billups was offered 1.5 mill

Another example of Dan Gilbert and his "deep pockets".

Maybe Cleveland plans to go the entire off season without a GM.

lol... you can tell it's been a while with some Philly fans...

You guys take me too seriously.

There is a lot to be excited about with the 76ers but no one thinks they're going to win 60+. Due to injury history, age, and lack of established chemistry, there will likely be some bumps in the road for the 76ers.

I got them at 65-17.

What happens if every team refuses to deal with BOS?
Can HG lower his salary demands or does he already have an agreement for a set contract price?
If nobody deals with them, does the contract become null and void?

I mean, obviously, they can trade pieces for 2nd round picks in desperation, but I'm curious as to why some feel that BOS has the leverage here in a S&T and believe they deserve compensation for sending JC to UTA. Isn't the compensation GH?

They have assets that people want. It is as simple as that. A deal will get done.
