Not sure if that’s worth reading into. I’m sure Doc was looking to pump up some people (and ingratiate himself to them). Al’s a pro and those shoutouts probably won’t impact whether he buys in or not and probably won’t impact the media narrative

I think the question was related to scorers and so he listed off the other 4 guys and Shake. I’m sure if someone asked about Al Horford things he would have mentioned Horford.

D'antoni would have been fun but I was so happy that the Clippers clipped him because he seemed perfect. Didn't think he would take the job but it is hard to get a built to win franchise. Those Clippers teams were sort of that way also but I think the Sixers issues are more fundamental and Brown obviously didn't do shit to clean that up. If they get his son and Hield the ball is rolling. Maybe Ben can learn to shoot and Embiid remembers he isn't Pete Maravich.

This Horford for Hield scuttlebutt. What kind of package are we talking about here? Zhaire/Horford/21/36 for Buddy, something like that? Too bad Vlade isn't still running things, we'd get picks back.

Probably have to take Harrison Barnes' contract back from SAC in the deal to make the money work if you're moving Horford's contract out. Hield/Barnes for Horford/Zhaire/Mike Scott/picks works in the trade machine from a money standpoint.

If you’re using ESPN, they still have Buddy’s contract from this year. The first year of his extension starts in the off season and his contract goes up to a little less than Horford’s. No filler needed or probably something small at worst.

Yep. That's what I was doing. Thanks for the heads up. Haven't used it much and thought his cap number seemed low, but they had five years left on his deal. Should've known better since that part of their site looks like it's straight out of 2007.

He did talk about Al, unfortunately the crap audio cut out most of it.

Would anyone else be concerned that Buddy Hield finished 131 out of 138 in DRPM among SG’s this year and in overall RPM behind both Korkmaz and Thybulle?

Yes, well not the DRPM specifically because there’s noise there but he’s never been a good defender. Also concerned that he’s had issues with the coaches, and it’s another Tobias situation where he’s never played on a good team. It’s a buy low move that’s not without risk, hopefully that leads to a lower price though.

Yeah I came here to see if anyone else though that was weird. It had its unique charm when he was an opposing coach for the Celtics, but seemed a bit over the top here.
Continued success, thanks for comin' on the show!

Didn't he get the nickname from constantly wearing a Dr. J shirt? Seems like an homage to me.
