Well there goes our big lead. Smh.

stewie griffen What's the Embiid/Noel combo produced together?

Can you get an Ortg and Drtg for them?

Before today's game they had played 5 minutes together for the whole season.

Not enough sample.

Voted Kyrie for all star game 50 times today in spite of this threads poll

Good thing you can only vote 10 tonnes a day then

I don't think they would have played more than 10 - 15mins together yet.

Sixers do have 6th best defensive rating the last 4 games tho since it's been a thing with no Jah mins.

Didn't think they'd much together yet but I thought it was more than that, boo.

 

[stewie griffen]

Sorry. Was referring to the Carroll trade rumor

[SloaneysDanger]

Lmfao.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Stop it Kyrie you sexy, sexy man.

 

[mitchzz]

ZaZa is showing everyone why he'll be an All Star starter

 

[mitchzz]

Amazing sequence by the Warriors

 

[SloaneysDanger]

LeBronnnnnnnnnnn

 

[SloaneysDanger]

And that's why Shump is on the team. Brilliant defence again from Shump to seal the game.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Very nice effort from the Suns, especially after being down 22 in the third.

 

[Drummer_19]

Julius Randle has put a real nice stretch of good games together recently. Been quite aggressive off the dribble and play making.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Booker 1 of 6

DS is cackling somewhere

And finishes 12/24.

Pricey's mum doesn't like early blowers

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Drummer_19 , if the Sixers were to look at keeping Noel, how do you see a) the minutes/rotation working out and b) Noel's contract extension value?

DLo fining some consistency as well and keeping the turnovers down. And Ingram is waking up.

Lakers making some progress

 

[hamG]

has Montrezl Harrell fg all come from dunks? currently 28p 12-13fg

His name is like someone trying to cheat in scrabble.

Dunleavy apparently refusing to go to Atlanta and requesting a buyout...

Wut?

Well its not like having DeMarcus Cousins bail on us. You aint that valuable Mike.

 

[hbk_aus]

How does Cousins only take 11 shots in a game? Surely should be getting more looks than that.

It's an interesting situation because there's so many parts to consider. His minutes distribution if they kept him would depends a lot on Okafor being moved, what they do with Ilyasova and how flexible Simmons is (this is hard to answer since we havn't seen how capable he is at guarding 3s in the NBA) but lets just assume they're keeping him because Jah gets moved and Ilyasova isn't on the roster and the depth chart looks something like...

C - Embiid, Noel, Holmes
PF - Simmons, Saric
SF - Covington, X

I think you can get something like 32mins for Embiid, 16 for Nerlens at C. Simmons 20, Saric 18, Nerlens 10 at PF. Covington 30, Simmons 12, Saric 6 at SF.

That's just a sort of rough mins distribution but it's kind of hard to say since the Sixers roster situation is so fluid and you don't know who's going to be there, like if Ben is able to be a legit #1 ball handler you can have some pretty funky line ups build around him which could see Nerlens/Embiid start together or Saric start at the 4 and Covington start at the 2 with Ben at the 3 which would open more mins up. I abslolutely think there's a place for him if the roster ends up (and that's my hope) like that.

As far as money goes, I think he gets a lot, likely a max or close to it. I was on the side of not wanting to pay him a few months ago but have change my mind, it's not like they're paying anyone and it wouldn't handcuff them cap wise (contract would still be moveable too in a couple of years if they wanted to) as it's not like they're going to sign any gun max players this off season. That Embiid/Nerlens center rotation can be something special defensively going forward, Nerlens actually looks a bit better on offense too in a very small sample.
