turner doesn't play the 2. he's the 3 on this team. iguadala's old spot.

vuc was part of the trade to bring bynum here. again, if bynum is healthy, he's the best center in the eastern conference. so would rather have that, or vucevic?

and vucevic played himself out of meaningful minutes last year. he was shooting 35% in the 2nd half of the season. he was hot early on but played really poorly as the season dragged on. still averaged 16 minutes a game.

everyone has alluded to the doug collins burnout because it's happened everywhere he has been. again- if bynum was healthy, i don't think this would be brought up as much as the team would be much better.

i like the core more than you i guess. we now have an all star and 2 of the best young players in the league. throw bynum or another big in the mix, and you're a much better team.

I meant that turner isn't going to play the point with holiday here. he can't play the 2. and by having him primarily at the 3 it's not utilizing him to the best of his abilities. This is why I don't think he's a great fit.

You keep saying 'healthy bynum'. might as well talk about unicorns and leprechauns

I like thad young, but he's pretty inconsistent. Doesn't really have a position or an outside game.

I definitely don't like them as much as you. But that's not breaking news...we have been having this discussion since turner got drafted.

Like I said before...getting rid of the iggy/brand salaries was the easy part. The tough part is adding the right pieces. Even with some cap space (like you said, for a change), they're still in a shitty spot. Bynum is gonna be a lose-lose scenario due to his health and the amount of money he's going to command. And they are likely going to have to overpay for any big ticket FA they try to sign. There is so little room for error with FAs. There will be a tremendous amount of pressure to hit on their signings. last thing we want is another brand/webber/geiger like bust, which will again set them back for the duration of said contract.

The way I see it, they have one piece in holiday. The rest is crap. I wouldn't give bynum the amount of money it's going to take to sign him, which makes that trade a colossal failure (again, I think either way they end up losing that trade since they can't depend on bynum being on the court). so they need a frontcourt, a shooting guard, a bench, and a coach.

thank god for the flyers

the fixer dropping knowledge in 1/03. Start on page 74

this is why I'm a no show here...not fun to debate unless there's a chance you can lose.

funny how you've completely stayed out of the Flyers thread after being proven completely 100% wrong about Jeff Carter (ever team has 5 forwards better than Jeff Carter you said...fucking hilarious) and the direction of the franchyise when you loved where they were a few years ago and the Eagles thread after trashing the Chip Kelly hire even more than i did. funny how you are silent in those these days. i imagine if/when the Hinkie era doesn't go as well as you think you will disappear from this one as well.

can you tell us all again how no one believes Aaron Gordon is a top 10 pick even though he went 4th? or tell me how Shaq wasn't on the Heat's 1st title team and wasn't very good even though he was in fact on that team and was 2nd team all NBA that season?

so that was interesting. nerlens kind of held his own last night. not sure how he can only come away with one board but he was constantly making things difficult for howard down low--disrupting entry passes, getting some steals and stuff. very encouraging.

NERLENS!

I didn't get to watch much of it but it sounded like he was fronting a lot which would make it more difficult to get rebounds. Obviously, I'd still like him to get more than one. KJ looks like a player.

Lakers are tanking, too

Soooooo close. Brett must've thought they had a chance to win so he yanked Nerlens.

boom!

:-bd

i only caught part of the game. that part i missed i did see one of the other alley oops which was ok, not as good as that one

I didn't watch last nights game but almost beat the Bulls????

fife said:

sorry for the beating last night. man i never knew the 76ers were that bad.

Noel didn't play and Cater-Williams is out until next week but yea this team is atrocious.

Raptors got a nice team. If Cleveland continues to struggle and Derrick Rose is never fully healthy wonder if Toronto can make a run at being the best team in the East.
