Shai rests the first half of the 4th, but he plays the entire 3rd.

Yeah, resting half the 3rd or half the 4th is the same.

As long as it isn’t the second half of the 4th.

They really are, getting Mecca and myself excited.
Buried in that article was the fact that the Thunder were the best team in basketball in January.

Thunder were 9-5 in January. Haven’t checked everybody but the Sixers were 11-3 in January.

Honestly I don’t know what net rating even is, but an article said the Thunder were best at something lol
Ha! It’s likely net offensive rating minus net defensive rating. It shows they were clicking on all cylinders and that their 9-5 month could be less anomaly and more who they are going forward if they can stay healthy.

Yeah I did see something where since mid December the Thunder are top 5 in both offense and defense.

Grade my trade:
Bulls get:
Thybulle
Shake Milton
Furkan Korkmaz
Paul Reed
2 of the Sixers 4 2nd round picks in 2023

Sixers get:
Caruso
Andre Drummond

This solidifies Maxey as the 6th man so you can stagger his minutes with Harden. Maxey is feeling his way through this role now. Once he gets comfortable, he can be one of the better 6th men in the league.

Starters
Embiid
Harris
Caruso
Melton
Harden

Bench:
Maxey
Niang
Tucker
Drummond

I think this is tangibly the best roster the Sixers could field weighing what’s out there. Nobody wants Tobias Harris until you get mid year on the last year of his deal when he’s 35 million of expiring cap space. This roster gives you flexibility to pair Embiid/Harden with offense (Maxey Niang) defense (Tucker Caruso) and two way players (Melton Harris). In Drummond you get a competent NBA big that can give you 10-14 minutes for non Embiid minutes.
