Other Sports: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 23-24 Season Thread: Punt, Pass, Or Kick? Post Trade Deadline

[Jack Straw]

Please may I have one (1) Isaiah Crawford?



I don’t know what you have and haven’t read, but knowing your preferences, I think you’ll really like the way he rebounds.

Who are we talking about here? I don't know anything about Crawford. If McCain, I've only seen him a couple times but the word on him seems to be he's a good rebounder. 6'3" is 6'3" but a 6'3" good rebounder is still better than a 6'3" bad rebounder.

Yep, McCain! They seem to have prioritized some physicality this year.

Backup defensive big I guess if they keep him. Attempted one 3 in his career.

Very good athlete, even on the NBA scale. Getting anything whatsoever out of him on the offensive end is probably enough to make him stick in the league. Still might not!

This Bona guy has some fun highlights

He's gonna clean the court and boards

 

[Flybynite]

LeBron James and Bronny will have a joint retirement night, cuz he's out of an NBA job when his Dad retires.

 

[Flybynite]

Guess Utah is a perfect fit for him.

People who know basketball more than me (read: anyone) what do we think of Justin Edwards? Worth the cash as a UDFA?

 

[gertbfrobe16]

Props to espn for the worst draft coverage ever. Big story Bronny gets to go to dads team. The part where Rich Paul threatened the other teams not to draft Bronny was top notch drama.

He's from Philly. Maybe he'll help the Blue Coats sell a few more tix... but man he tested AWFUL at the NBA combine. Seen some reports saying he was out of shape, so I dunno... the combine was less than 2 months after his college season ended.

worst lane agility. Almost a full second slower than friggin ZACH EDEY
His vertical was like bottom 15.

I would have drafted him anyway. Don't like it, have fun in Australia. Second round picks are pretty much worthless anyway

It was Rich Paul/Klutch Sports telling teams not to draft him so probably didn't want to risk having a grudge from them over sticking it to the Lakers (or trying to wriggle more compensation out of them in a trade)

Yes. Big time high school recruit who didn’t work out at Kentucky. It happens again and again. Of course he’s not going to be a star, but very much has a chance to stick in the league.

Also a bit of an analytical pick. Hollinger had him 29th. Pelton had him 27th.

Poor McD

[Embiid]

For the record....the Bona pick was the one we got from the Celtics for Springer.

Like both of the kids we drafted as far as character and good on Morey for seemingly drafting the BPA.

At least Bona is the best athlete...God knows we need some athletes.

Gold Jerry, gold.

Ingram available for you guys now

They did a photo op and gave him a Karl Malone jersey to hold up.

Oh hell yes. He doesn't have many legit options anymore. It’s LAC, PHL, or ORL. Or a team like OKC/SA pays Detroit to help them.

The sickos are cooking up obscure ways to make a Markkanen trade work on top of that. He only makes 18. It technically works!

Trade every single piece. Who gives a shit.

If Morey can land PG and Markkanen I’ll erect a statue of him in my front yard.
