No Harris no Simmons for prob a month. Part time Kyrie.
.... boy I wish Caris was still here
We should still be alright most nights with KD back in the mix but I would like to see this team turn the corner within the next few days
Caris is pretty injury prone himself and with the luck that the team has he could’ve been down if he was still here but he would help with relieving part time Kyrie stress. JA is pretty resilient so he could’ve helped for sure. Especially after seeing the big men rotation get demolished time after time since his departure. Last night they kept going with Dre and LMA and they were getting abused by Bam bc they aren’t quick and explosive enough to keep up. Dinwiddie would be good Kyrie insurance but he’s been pretty inconsistent, injury prone, and he’s expensive. As for the rest like Prince and Kurucs, they aren’t really factors. Turning Dinwiddie, JA, and Levert into Harden/Simmons, Drum, Seth, and others was kind of a step back because the big man position has been a disaster, not really due to depth (part time Kyrie at the end of the season was the final nail in the coffin tbh. That’s a 25+ ppg 50, 40, 90 player sitting without a replacement. That’ll kill any team). Back to the big men, Clax is in and out the lineup, Blake
, LMA
, Sharpe is young and glued to the bench, JJ
, Dre
they need to use some of the picks to get Myles Turner or someone with young legs that’s reliable and able to at least keep people like Bam, Embiid, and Giannis working instead of just being outclassed and giving them easy 60+% shooting nights. Even Scottie Barnes has field days with these dudes
all these Ls are demoralizing.
