It really it. It's perfect for watching like whack ass bench players who you haven't seen in a minute who get so little time that you can't even pull up a GD/DowntoBuck clip.
K.J Mcdaniels still in the league. Still getting a couple dunks every 10-15 days

The payroll is high but those players aren't the best talents....Olshey should go first. They have a bunch of decent role players but only Dame and CJ have big time potential/Production

But but but but but the foot steps
The foot steps, you still hear them but act like Middleton isn't out, this is the perfect window for them to miss the playoffs and get another talented player (Fultz or Monk to move Delly to the bench). I remember telling you the Raptors should have tanked, now yall just constantly looking for that 3rd guy to push you over the edge, that could have been your squad drafting Embiid, but nah you wanted to watch your team lose to the old ass Nets, and now you stuck in the Cleveland Invitational cycle where your best players are the same age as theirs
You late
How you gonna try and son a Euro with Eurosteps? He was born in it and was a Guard/Forward until he was 17 ish.

Breh nevermind with the Raptor synopsis ok im not interested you been wrong for years on that front,we talmbout the Bucks here...You been said for 2 years now the Bucks on the rise they got next,guess what nikka you wrong on that front too....Giannis and bari is a good start but that team is ass around them,they will never be more than a middling seed in the east until they completely re tool that lineup around those guys...There front court is garbage and they need muich more than Middleton to make that spacing work....
There is no foot steps with this team,they arent going anywhere and will never be a threat unless they make some smart changes.Only thing you right about is they wont be able to do it thru free agency.
I am your conscience.
Oh, I've been wrong?
"Nets don't scare me" - You
"Wiz don't scare me" - You
"We owned the Pacers this season, no way this goes past 5" - You
"We won the season series vs the Cavs, I think we can win this (Lose ECF by record margin)" - You
The Bucks are coming, how was I supposed to know Khris would tear is hamstring off the bone? Had Middleton not gotten hurt they'd very obviously be the 3rd seed right this second while having a high ceiling for growth. You act like losing a 19ppg scorer for a young team and replacing that player with Tony Snell has no impact, and Middleton wasn't just a floor spacer, he was their 2nd best facilitator on offense. Their roster isn't that far off, the problem is their roster currently has guys in starting roles (Snell / Delly) that should be coming off the bench, they're even missing Plumlee who is a solid rim protector which means they have to play Monroe more than they'd like to. I'd like for them to miss the playoffs so that they don't become like your squad, which is just Memphis Bleek Grizzlies east, one piece away just waiting and hoping better players get hurt or some team gifts you an all-star.
You still talking about finding that 3rd guy almost 3 years later, where is it going to come from Miggs

Contrary to belief winning the title isn't EVERYTHING. We learned that with the Process. This is still entertainment and as great as Embiid is already and the excitement we feel in Philly over the arrival of him and Simmons they're both still unknowns and I think most fans would take the run the Raptors have had over the past few seasons with Lowry and Derozan over the abomination the Sixers were over the past few seasons. Only one team can win the ECF & the Finals and having the 2nd best team in the Lebron era isn't anything to be mad at. Despite not having a chance in hell at winning a chip I appreciated those Doug Collins Sixer teams before the Tank knowing we had a real shot to beat anyone every night. I loved the Tank and thought it was a great idea but still, championship or not you still want you team to go out there and compete. Lowry and Derozan completely legitimized that franchise and added excitement to it.
Building for the title is all that matters, that is why @Miggs is constantly talking about the mysterious 3rd guy, he's not satisfied with just watching his team make the playoffs. That gets old after awhile, you see any excitement for the Grizzlies? People have soured on the Clippers, just making the playoffs and not having a shot to win it wears out fans after awhile.
Embiid brings excitement because he is elite on both sides of the ball, Okafor posted big numbers last year but he didn't pass the eye test like Joel does, he is a championship caliber talent if healthy and that is the reason people are excited in Philly. They have an elite talent that could be a top 5 player in the league, that is where the excitement stems from that. Those fans that would pick Lowry & DeRozan over getting Embiid don't know what they're doing, because right this second if the Raptors offered their backcourt for Embiid they'd hang up the phone laughing. You need an elite talent + all-star players, the Raptors have two all-stars neither of which are as good as LeBron, which is why he's the gate keeper in the East. The Buck, Knicks & Sixers have young players that represent that next "gate keeper" in the East.I also think the Knicks are making a mistake not finding younger players to pair with Kristaps
