THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dray signed a 3 year deal initially. Does that have anything to do with it?

Let the Noel/ Jah Era begin.

So far, the team would look like this:

C: Jah
PF: Noel
SF: Jerami Grant (for now)
SG: Stauskas
PG: Tony Wroten

After thinking about it, I can see Jah and Noel work. Noel has the potential to be a KG type of player defensively and works better facing the basket rather than back to the basket. Jah will dominate the paint (maybe more offensively than defensively) but it can work out. The biggest factor for making this work is if Noel develops a consistent jumper.

If Noel will learn how to play off the ball and become an offensive garbage man, that duo will case problems when team double team Jah on the block. If Stauskas reaches his potential, he will complement this team beautifully.

Wroten, although only 22, still has room for improvement but looks like he suits the 6th man roll best. When Dario Saric comes on next year, our team will look like this:

C: Jah
PF: Noel
Sf: Saric
Sg: Stauskas
Pg: (either get someone via lottery, trade Embiid for a PG, or acquire someone via free agency)

6th man: Wroten
Grant
all the other picks in the next few years

Man...this team is 100% potential (which I hate), what this team needs is some veteran leadership. We have to bring a veteran from a winning franchise.

Stauskas going to beat out Covington?

 

[casper90403]

Imagine going from $900k a year (which is a **** ton of money already) to making $15m the very next year?

People wonder why athletes lose their mind act above everybody else. That would be me.

Wanna see all the African bros do well.

Jahlil, Embiid, Mudiay etc. Wish them dudes the best.

YOOOO

Byron Scott is on this show on Time Warner Cable and he just did a flawless Mike Tyson impersonation 

re-telling a story about running into him at a club

The impression came out of nowhere

The Sixers are about player development so I see them giving Stauskas a chance to start and earn a permanent spot if he plays to his potential (which is higher than Covington's)

I was hoping the Sixers draft Mudiay, we would have had an all international team give that Noel is Haitan and Daric Croatian.

They have his full Bird Rights because he was under contract for three years.

Can stauskas play defense at all?

 

[Clyde Frog]

extremely unfortunate about Embiid but the sixers made the right picks. Still in amazing shape with Okafor and Noel. Offense and Defense. I feel like once people realized KAT was better it overshadowed the fact that Okafor is still gonna be a force. And he's better offensively than KAT on the block.

he's actually a surprisingly good shot blocker for his size.  But otherwise no, not really

Thank you for your well thought out answer. You have completely changed my mind.

Breen bringing up the point that year round games and training starting at a young age could be a factor in all these injuries

i've watched every minute Nik Stauskas has played in the NBA. His ceiling is nowhere near Robert Covington's. He will probably never even be close to as productive as Covington already is

What is his ceiling then? And what do you think Covington's ceiling is?

@TimBontemps Mark Cuban on whether he will push to make changes to the free agency moratorium: "I don't give a f---. It won't change anything."

@TimBontemps: Cuban on if issue Jordan situation was matter of etiquette: "I pick my nose at the table ... I don't give a f--- about etiquette."
