Fun random stat I just read...Wilt Chamberlain in the 1961-1962 season sat out 8 minutes....TOTAL FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR

Averaged 46 minutes a game his entire career.

Damn what a crazy stat. Pretty sure he also never fouled out of a game.

Read that the Kings are interested in Thybulle. Not sure the Sixers match up with them. Sixers need a back up big for Embiid because Harrell is unplayable in the playoffs. Rashaun Holmes represents a similar issue with defense that Harrell has.

SAC is low on bigs as it is I’m not sure they trade Holmes unless they make another trade to grab Poeltl or something

Does Len even play?

Does Len even play?

12 games this season.

Orlando is interested in VanVleet but I'm not sure that makes sense. They have a log jam of guards. Fultz, Anthony, Hampton and Suggs. Add in Harris but I'm sure he will be flipped. Ross is off the books next season. Still makes no sense unless they part with Fultz or Anthony.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Orlando has a nice little core, add another big piece in the draft...they just need to figure out their roster construction. Too many guards.

Suggs seems to be a bust. Wasted minutes there. Anthony is very streaky and is a low % guy. If Fultz can stay healthy he is the guy at point. Replace Wendell Carter Jr with Wendebamya or even add Scoot. Scott and Fultz backcourt. Wagner and Banchero. Trade Bamba and the clusterfuck of guards. Another team to watch for in the east in the next 3 years or so.

They have meh guards.

They need a DUDE.

They need to make a move. Anthony is a fine 3rd guard.

They should flip Fultz before his value tanks again.

How dare you not mention Isaac.

Teams seem to trying to keep their true desire close to the vest.

Half of the crap out there is one team trying to get an opponent to jump after a player and keep them occupied while they're going after the guy they really want. Like the Celtics going after Poeltl. Are they really willing to pay the price? I think not.

Payton Pritchard for Naz Reid of the Timberwolves makes a ton of sense since the Wolves are on the hook for $77M next year with Towns and Gobert. Keeping Reid isn't a financial smart move next year.

Thybulle, Harrell and 2nd for Holmes....

It works if the goal is shedding Thybulle but they don't need to trade him. I am only on board with a move that makes them better. I think Thybulle should be a bigger piece of this group. He gets about 10 minutes a game now. I want to see him at 16-20 minutes and I want those minutes to come from PJ Tucker's totals. Holmes is no different from Harrell. Both are unplayable in the playoffs because of their defense.

That's what I'm saying. I don't think the Sixers matchup with them. They don't have a back up big that's enticing. They don't have a wing that's better than their current wings they'd be willing to trade. Maybe a third team can get involved.

Also unplayable in the playoffs.

Fultz didn't have an eye-popping stat line last night but it seemed like when he was on the floor the Magic got into their best stuff and got their best looks. The prob;em with Markelle has always been staying healthy. Hope he gets some good luck on that front.

If the clippers didn’t get on that hot streak…they should’ve considered this to fox their tax problem

But yeah, they can’t now lol

Tax problems?

He’s a multi-BILLIONAIRE.

They don’t have tax problems.

You can’t look at the Clippers payroll through the same lens as other teams.

Ballmer won’t just throw money away for the hell of it.

He wants to win.

Oustide of the hard cap, they don’t have financial constraints.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

If they’ll deal him, he’s fine

McConnell is a solid backup, but you don’t even have that right now either…lol

Reggie is a shooting guard.

If he’s cold, he’s an executive towel waiver.

Love the avi…..lol

MxConnell reminds me of a poor man"s Scott Skiles.

That’s HARSH…LOL

Fultz hasn't tanked yet? I get he is only 24 which seems crazy. I guess that contract isn't bad.

Anthony is a decent guard in that clusterfuck but for a backup/6th man option. Adding Scoot would be ideal
