He shouldn’t be starting. He is a bench player. 14-18 mins a night
Yep i said it all long. Go back to starting Caleb and use him as the backup 5. This was a top 5ish defense before he got here. The defense would be ok if they used him at the backup 5 instead of starting pf

So Lu Dort has drawn 83 non charging offensive fouls this season. The next highest in the league is Brunsons 46. Dort has the most since Anderson Varajao back in 06. He is basically impossible to screen is how he draws these fouls. I really hope he makes the all defense team, he should.

Sixers might as well start resting people. 2 games back of Boston but that’s really 3 because Celtics have the tie break and 4 behind the Bucks with only 8 games left. They’re pretty much locked into the 3 seed up 3 games in the loss column to the Cavs.

Why not?

That is the kind of piece you need to add to go from good core on the rise to contender.
It would seem Lebron wants it as he keeps talking about the Thunder but I just don’t see Presti doing anything like that. They will add veteran help but this is going to be the Shai, Chet and Jalen show.

And it still will be ....Bron won't have to do as much as he did in previous stops. Be a mentor and facilitator....every now and again when they need a big bucket....lean on him.

For 1-2 seasons

Shake your head all you want, won’t make it happen. Presti has the keys right now, he’s not giving them to Lebron.
And yr personal relationship with Presti tells you this?

LOL.

It’s an interesting discussion though as Lebron was rumored to have tried to get Presti to replace Pelinka.

It is funny how matter of fact you are.

More likely than not LeBron ends up elsewhere.

But for all these rebuilding teams with young cores, you need to land that difference maker in free agency before you have to pay your core.

And if they can’t get somebody younger?

Adding LBJ for a year or 2 would be a great move.

And you are foolish to think Presti would say no out of principle.
