    He’s coming off the bench right? What sort of production were you expecting from him?

    they need to run the harden/mann backcourt because it’s the only way they have any backcourt or transition defense

    with harden, PG, kawhi and westbrook on the team are you really surprised he’s not getting stats, all those guys want their stats. they take all the shots

    Clippers love their talking points. Terrance Mann is a great young player. Zubac is an incredible center who they got when the FO fleeced the Lakers. Four HOF players with So Cal roots on a mission.

    It’s like their entire team is run by the marketing department. Jerry West has been ignored and kept around only as another talking point. Remember he’s the guy who found Shea.

      Terrance Mann is a great young player.

      This one is especially funny because when you tell people he’s 27 you’ll always get a person in the comments doing a double take because they’ve bought into the marketing and never questioned it.

        Yep. Whenever I see Clipper fans talking about what a “promising young prospect he is” I say “yeah, imagine what his 5 ppg could blossom into when he’s in his mid 30s in a couple years.”

    Good defender, and they were right, they didn’t need to include him in the trade. Harden is still a good player but far from someone you can just plug n play. Someone like Caruso is obviously not as good as Harden, but every contending team wants Caruso while Harden seemingly only had one suitor.

    Well, good for the Sixers that they didn’t get him then. Worked out for them.

    Why are 76ers fans obsessed with dumping on Mann if he supposedly sucks so much? Lol it feels like a jealous ex or something. He’s a good role player and one of their only decent glue guys, for a team as old and decrepit as the Clippers, that’s worth something

    While the primary goal of the trade was to get the first round picks, the Sixers got a huge upgrade getting Batum and Covington in the deal. Can’t say enough about how great they are defensively. And can’t say enough about how washed PJ Tucker is. Once Oubre comes back, the Sixers have a solid 9 man rotation with Covington, Batum, Reed, and Beverly coming off the bench. They went from having an extremely weak bench to a very solid one.

    After the trade, I heard from Clippers fans that the Sixers were fleeced because the Clippers kept Hyland and Mann, but that doesn’t really seem to be the case.
