KJ Martin would be playing 15 minutes if he had an All-Star PF in front of him :mjlol:

KJ actually played and was pretty solid and is younger than Obi yet he still only netted two second rounders. :comeon:
Again, Thibs could do no wrong in your eyes bro. You got it lol. And KJ Martin started in half those games. We're dealing with reality, not him hypothetically starting behind a Randle lol. You can't compare them or their situations

If a player who played more than another player and is younger still got traded for two second rounders what does that tell you about the market for said players?

Obi playing 20 minutes instead of 16 wasn't going to do shyt for his trade value execs and scouts were never too high on bro. That's my guy but face reality instead of blaming Thibs for shyt out of his control.

1. Harden being better than Brunson is still a debate.
2. Julius is not a good fit with Embiid and has been W.O.A.T. in his two playoff runs here I'll cut him a lil slack because of his ankle this year.
3. Rokas may never come to the NBA and we don't know how good he'd be in the NBA he is not even a consideration for me.
Would YOU trade Brunson for Harden right now? Purely based on current talent, not age and contracts.

Harden was still 21/6/11 last season and had a couple of 40 balls in the playoffs and moments where he stepped up in absence of Embiid or when Embiid didn't step up even though he ultimately choked along with Embiid.

It's fair to say, that yes, Harden is more talented than Brunson. That's not wild at all based on RS play Harden is an All-Timer.

In this comparison you can't ignore age though because Harden is getting up there and again I like players who can ramp in the playoffs and show exceptional character/leadership (which is why I pushed hard for Mitchell and Butler). I don't want a player who has underperformed in the playoffs almost every year of his career in some instances epically who stay in the strip clubs, hanging out with rappers, and plays himself into shape. I'm good on that I'd stick with Brunson.

At this point in his career Embiid should have made a Finals at the very least every year its the same thing and I don't see that changing here.

I forgot we had Isaiah Roby he was solid in OKC that could be our back up 4

I’m not mad at Craig, Watford, or even Markieff Morris on some vet 15th man shyt

It’s gonna be Hart/Barrett small ball 4 minutes too don’t think the FO stressing Obi’s minutes
