Maybe this drives down his value even more for us and we can get him for cheap, if a bigger trade like Cousibs doesn't work out.

it'll be fun to see how he meshes with embiid and simmons.   Nice young trio there.

Philly doesn't care about his feelings, he's not going to be on the team by opening day.

Can this be a back fire of tanking so hard ? you try get what you think of the value of the draft pick which is reasonable.  :)

In terms of individual talent, it seems that way. But as a front line, as a team, their outside game is looking potentially very suspect. Can all of them play within 10 feet of the basket is the question I would have.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

\they added some decent shooting via free agency. Nothing major, but the guys they added should help.

I'm starting to get the sense that the Celtics are going to get one of the sixers bigs before the season starts.

I was talking about the front line mentioned in your post. If none if them can shoot from outside of. 10 feet, philly has trouble.  Let's see how it plays out.
