He is the missing piece they need....if they don't overpay for him.

 

[shopson67]

So, Blazers have flat out said they are keeping Scoot.

Now what?

His goals and reality aren't going to mesh.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You love being a Grandpa.

It’s actually super cute.

It's D-pa.

 

[bksballer89]

LOL.

Not sure whats funny. He isn't a bad player

So, the AZhumane society hoodwinked my ass again.

Got a call that my new puppy’s litter mate was returned to the shelter and they needed a emergency foster.

I picked her up a week and a half ago and could not get those motherfuckers on the phone for the last 4 days.

Why did I check my mail today and found adoption papers and a microchip activation kit.

Fuck them…lol

Now I have 3 dogs and a fat fucking Cat.

If im a contending team, i would offer Dill 3/45 with a team option in year 3

 

[fightinfunbags]

I’m wishing and hoping. But for me, this is a purposeful leak again to try and get more money or more years or both from the Sixers.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Not sure whats funny. He isn't a bad player

He’s not worth more than the MLE though. In the areas where he is supposed to do well, he’s just average. He’s not an accomplished scorer. He’s not an accomplished shooter. He’s not an accomplished playmaker. He is supposed to be a leader and a shut down defender. In those roles he’s about middle of the road. I’ll pay solid money for a dude who is a legit shut down defender. I won’t pay that for a guy who pretends to be.

I wouldn’t personally. I’m not paying a player that money if I feel uncomfortable closing out the game with him.

 

[trojanfan12]

Objectively, that's probably right around what he's worth.

I don't think he's as bad as he came off/looked vs. the Lakers.

But he's also not good enough to run his mouth like he did at a player with Lebrons resume.

"If you come for the king, you'd best not miss"

He missed. lol

 

[shopson67]

It is bad faith.

Asking for something totally unreasonable like that could absolutely set the tone for and impact future deals with the 2 organizations.

If the people running the Cavs believe the 6ers to be unreasonable, they are less likely to seek them out in the future when there might actually be a deal that makes sense for both.

Would be better for Philly to come straight out and just say that they don’t value Allen as high as most because they have Embiid. And that would likely stop talks in their tracks, but in a more respectful way.

We don't even know the context of the discussion. It could very well have been the Sixers saying "NO, we don't see any players that would fit an acceptable deal unless....." which then gets spun to push criticism back on the Sixers.

Morey responded today and said the report is nonsense.

 

[shopson67]

Good deal for both sides imo

Probably the deal he gets from any number of teams in free agency (full MLE 3 years with raises). Opting to stay in Minnesota hasn't typically proven to be a good career move.

 

[shopson67]

Would NO do this?

LOL, no.

 

[bksballer89]

I think with better coaching, he can play to his strengths more aka not shooting 3s.

He is more efficient and better player if he limited his threes attempts to like 2 per game. He avg 6 attempts per game lasf year
