I hope we keep D’lo, he’s not perfect, but he’s paid role player money, and when he’s hot, he’s fucking hot

We’re going to let them back in this game

I don’t know if I’m old and out of touch, or if this halftime is trash

Or maybe both

There’s already plenty of big men that aren’t fantastic perimeter defenders, he wouldn’t be any worse there. I think fans these days really underestimate how quick he was in LA, even if he was bigger. His last season or two, he definitely was slower, but 96-01 he was pretty damned quick.

Anyways, on defense, he’d be doing similar to other bigs in the NBA, mostly ‘hiding’ near the rim, and helping on inside shots/grabbing boards. Would be targeted on PnRs, and depending on the players involved that could go whatever way.

On offense, he’d be unstoppable, unless they call a bunch of offensive fouls on him. But, Giannis, Zion, etc get away with a fair bit of physicality, so I think he’d be ok.

One thing to note, a lot of players can’t be traded until mid December or mid January due to the types of contracts they signed in the offseason

OP talks about how FT pts percent doesn’t tell the whole story, so I provided FTr as the context. I can delete it if you’d like.

Simpler way of doing it:

FTr for players above 300 minutes played

At least on the perimeter defense front, Cam should be back very soon. Vando sometime over the next week or two, I’d think. No idea on Vincent.

Alright, while I don’t agree with this trade idea, it seems the fans and media want it to happen, so here’s the salaries. Who are you trading to make things match?

He is not playing at an MVP level.

This is not a contending team. Not sure what changes we need to make, but something has to happen

This game shows why AD will never be a DPOY, even if he’s a great defender. Letting someone put a 30pt triple double on you speaks volumes

Cutting it down to 15 feels like a win lol

Just wait until Ariza returns

This is the sorta game we might as well treat the second half as garbage time and play the end of bench guys

Terrible defense, would it kill anyone to contest a three?

We’re a pretty mid team, this is going about as expected

Maxey is getting open looks all night on those handoff screens

Will never understand how we are so bad in the first quarter

I don’t think there would have been enough to overturn that, Embiid’s legs got into AD’s, that’s always a 50/50 call
