[Mecca of the “B” Team]

All right @trojanfan12 @Stakesarehigh @Heatles84 @Shanemansj13

Last call for alcohol.

I got Burns, Yanez, Holland and ……..Periera.

Dude just has Izzy’s number.

I want him to win so bad.

But, might not be in the cards.

Go Clips!!

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

That’s 3 name guys who may go their whole career with no titles.

Embiid will get one.

Might be the David Robinson, maybe even Alonzo Mourning way , instead of Hakeem.

But, he will get 1.

I'm so torn on Periera and Izzy. I really want Izzy to take it down.

The other 3 are pretty clear and I agree with you.

A lot of heavy favorites this weekend.

Sixers gotta dangle maxey to get dame

 

[tlance]

It's Beal or nothing and I'm not sure if he is worth the money but Embiid, Harden and Beal is nasty regardless.

I’m not sure how much Beal has left.

Wizards waited too long.

Right now I think any trade value he has is based on his name, not his recent play.

Yeah I agree on those picks and Periera does own Izzy. Pretty crazy.

Man

I'd just feel more comfortable with a slightly younger guy

Izzy had his ass last time but dude just caught him.

Oh, my GAWD.

OOF.

Could Dame and Harden work?

I would damn sure try…lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Izzy had his ass last time but dude just caught him.

That’s the problem.

Only takes 1 punch to scramble his eggs.

Nobody wants to see Izzy fight like Thug Rose and Carla Esparza.

So, he will get touched.

Can he withstand?

History says…no.

This guy has cement in his hands.

Alex just seems way bigger don't he lol

Like, what is he rehydrating with?

A roids and hgh cocktail?

I don’t know.

Sounds like a big 3 destined to come up short to me.

Sixers should make a move if they get bounced 2nd round this year…

But I think it should be to go after a wing who can shoot and defend.

They don’t need another ball dominant guard who adds more pressure on Embiid defensively.

Wizards waited too long.

Right now I think any trade value he has is based on his name, not his recent play.

Plus, looks like they are negotiating with Zingers.

Why sign him and Kuz just to deal Beal?

But, who knows….

The Knicks are still out their with a shit ton of picks.

After the Cavs knock them out in the first round, they might get desperate.

Gonna hurt to get dismantled by the guy who should have been wearing your uniform.

Yeah.

But, teams are hoarding those kinds of guys.

Who could they realistically get?

Do they have money for Josh Hart?

Are the Thunder willing to part with Dort?

Would the Raps send OG to a team out East?

What’s the price for DFS because they have no shot at prying away Mikal.

Never know what the Wizards are thinking. Their moves rarely make sense to me, at least on a big picture level.

What do they think is going to happen if they bring all those players back?

Better health, 5 more wins and a loss in the play in?

I just don’t see much more upside than that.

Good question.

I don’t know who the right player is, I just don’t believe it is Dame.

6ers better off keeping Maxey IMO.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yep. Dame Beal Butler, any player of that caliber will take Maxey, draft picks and Harris expiring contract. I would do it. I don’t want to sell the Embiid window short because I want to be a 5 or 6 seed with Maxey when Embiid is on the back end.

Another week of DNP-Fat

 

[fightinfunbags]

Ideally yes but Embiid is getting older. The time is now. I think the window is only open for 2 more seasons of him being the elite guy we see now. Ideally, with Harden being facilitator Harden and a 2 like Dame or Beal, you want to see Embiid shift his goals to being defensive player of the year and giving them 24-26 PPG instead of having to get 33 and he’s less committed to the defensive end.
