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.

Didn't they go to dinner with him when they were in Dallas? I don't think he hated anyone he just thought he was a starter.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

downplaying the development of Fultz is just a defense mechanism for tempered expectations so that when he blows you out of the water next season, you can sit back and count your bonuses.

Team Kelle all the way

I don't remember seeing that, but if he wants to bring his all-star level defense back for 15-20 mins a night on a prove it one-year deal, sure!

Idk if this makes me feel better or worse but I think Porzingis will be better than Tatum and Fultz even with a wack jumper is better than Okafor.

Fultz will average 15 next year

I don't feel bad about Porzingis at all, tbh. There was just no way the Sixers could have chosen him after the two previous drafts, all the scrutiny they were under, and having just announced Embiid would miss another year. Really bad spot from which they made the worst move.

And honestly the Tatum/Fultz thing has gone laughably beyond reasonable expectation.

Get this summer right and ride

Porzingis is never going to hold up over the long term imo. Just feel like he is always going to be battling injuries.

That embiid dunking on some dope video is from a park one block from my house. I should have been out hooping today
