Goddamn Richardson has a team friendly contract. He's going to make way less the next three years than Butler will next season. Why are the Heat doing this?

That's an interesting lineup for the 76ers. They keep their defense, size, and physicality, the same formula that took the Raptors to 7 this year. They also in better position to give Embiid better load management.

The problem for the Sixers is who closes out games? Also, it's a little bit of a weird fit for Horford. The defense will be great though.

I guess Miami could try to dangle Bam and some scraps for Beal but I can't see Washington biting on that or other teams not bidding more
We still don't know who else they gave to Philly besides JRich. If they somehow keep Winslow and Bam, I'll ship them with a bunch of scrubs to Wash for Beal. (a man can dream 😢)

Horford is really, really good, but also seems really, really redundant on a front court that already has Embiid who is best with the ball in his hands, and Simmons, who is only good with the ball in his hands. I kind of wonder if they should have gone after Beverly or something to shore up the backcourt.

There aren't really any indications that Washington has any interest in trading Beal. He still has 2 more years of team control so they aren't in any rush. They would probably need a godfather type offer to change their minds, and Justice Winslow and Bam are not a godfather offer.

Miami was basically hardcapped and they still came out of free agency better than the Knicks. lmao

Clippers have no one to surround Kawhi with

at all

He will not choose them, Clippers played themselves

Or he goes back to Toronto and they both get left out. lol

That was our first playoff appearance since 2012 and we even took game 1 from the champs lol, dunno where you getting this hot take from. Vuc and Ross immediately re-signing without testing free agency shows faith in the FO, I feel like things is starting to turn around for Orlando. If Fultz manage to be a decent starting PG we might have a great squad in the future with our core young guys developing.
It's not a hot take it's the truth. If you think Vuc, Ross, and Aminu are taking you anywhere other than a 1st round exit then lol. Beating the Raptors one time out of four when they weren't trying doesn't matter or mean anything.

Other teams can probably beat that, especially if Washington decides they want to completely bottom out

Sixers still need a backup big man. One of the problems this year with the Celtics was Horfords health. Last year was the first time I wouldn't play him in back to back games. Sixers need another big so that they can rest Embiid/Horford to make sure they are both ready for the playoffs.

Please don't ruin this Kawhi by going to the Lakers. Rather see him in with the Clippers or just staying in Toronto.

Yeah, there's no way we can get Beal to this team. Who's left out there? If I were Riles I'll wait for next year's FA and try to sign Draymond just to see what fuckeries ensue with a Jimmy/Green team.

Horford to Philly? That's a solid signing. Dunno about the money, but good moves overall for the Sixers.

I'd be higher on Philly if they had let Harris walk. That contract really sucks. But Horford? Richardson? Massive upgrades. I'd take Richardson over Butler straight up.

Well Butler was the only guy Houston was going after. Guess the Heat got him and now the Rockets have to go to plan B. Plan B might not exist
