That's where I'm at with it too

We were still figuring things out

Jimmy and Tobi getting time at PG

Jimmy with the ball in his hands to close out

I honestly don't think this team played at it's full potential due to lack of on the court time as a whole unit

The missed defensive assignments were something that I believe irons itself out with experience

Love Jimmy, absolutely think he fits the city to a T

Nobody in Philly would blink an eye if they maxed him

Buckets is the priority

No, he's not worth 5/190 or even 4/150

He misses games regularly; load management. Did Jimmy invent general body soreness as a legit reason to sit? Don't think I've heard that anywhere else

Unfortunately, we have the money, this ownership group is anxious to win now, and Jimmy is the piece that makes this work IMO

Would not be surprised at all if they maxed him the second it was allowed

I would rather that, than sit through a summer of reports from Jimmy's Johnny Be Good campus tours

Where I think this gets interesting is Brand as GM

He likes to make moves

We could easily bring back errybody

But looking over the list of available FAs

There is room for improvement

I don't know what a max for Tobi is, but he's also worth it

We need a 50/40/90 guy, as does errybody at the 4

I think both Morris twins are available, Faried, Milsap, etc...

I keep Scott, add depth at that position


Same for the 2 guard spot

Ennis should have been starting

JJ should come off the bench

and there's alot of players available

Matthews, Ariza, Hood, Ross...


BB should have been fired after Fultz was sent packing

Reports at that time credited the pick to him and his enthusiasm

The team's inability to execute in the half court and end of clock/period situations never got resolved

We're a dogg on the road

The plea cops of flipping the roster 3Xs might save him

-1W reg season and +2W postseason, really feels like a push

And when you assemble a roster with that much talent, I can't rationalize bringing back the HC for what feels like a waste of a season with no tangible progress

But he's also losing his assistants

Might as well make the change, I just don't see it happening

Run It Back.
