All NBA list coming out later today per Lowe. Embiid gets a 30% max if he's first team otherwise 25%.

People questioned Colangelo jumping the gun on that extension but if he ends up being 2nd team it could save the team a lot of money/cap space/luxury tax over the next 5 years.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

You're right!

Embiid gets 2nd team all NBA.

Simmons was the 4th highest vote getter among people that didn't make a team and the highest forward. Paul George had 54 points to Bens 36.

Fuck Tatum. I'm sure he's going to be a career 43% shooter from 3 after shooting 30% in college.

Sixers were never going to take Tatum at 3. So it's Fultz versus either Jackson or Isaac (in reality). I think Ainge was the only GM in the league who ranked Tatum in the top 3 of the '17 draft. So give him credit, but fuck him and the Celtics just for spite.

I don't know how we would know that. We know that the Sixers loved Fultz but how do you know they didn't think highly of Tatum? To me I feel like Sixers though Fultz was tier 1 and Ball and Tatum and Jackson were all the next tier down.

Celtics were taking Tatum at #1 if they stayed which means our next option was either Lonzo or Fultz at #3.

Exactly. There was no way to get Tatum. If the Celtics had the slightest concern that we would take Tatum, they wouldn't have traded with us.

Don't see the fit with him and Simmons since neither can shoot though. That was the upside of Fultz, someone who could play off the ball and hit shots.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, assuming we keep #10, in order to have enough room for Lebron we need to get rid of Holmes, Bayless, and #26 right?

I ask because it seems we’d more desperately need a top backup C/PF at #10 if that’s the case instead of the options we have been looking at.
