Not defending the man, just saying let's let Embiid play more minutes than Greg Oden before we make fun of people for ice cold takes.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Lockback posted:

Embiid hasn't played meaningful minutes yet (less than 800 in the 3 years since drafted) and they didn't use the picks, they just traded some to move up. I assume that's what he meant by "They'll never use those picks" because otherwise its pretty nonsensical.

Howard Eskin and nonsensical go together like butter and toast.

Would Jimmy Butler really be their best option at getting over the top though?
e: they'd have to dump Love and a few other fillers and probably some future picks, I just don't see it

The only good part of LeBron in LA is that there are a ton of Laker fans who poo poo on him constantly out of some sort of weird Kobe loyalty/insecurity and it will be very funny to watch them have to quickly backtrack

Butler without losing their big 3, I think that leaves them inline to challenge GSW.

If it means losing Love, probably puts them right around where they were, so no.

She's also from there and it was her choice at the time iirc. She was part of the reason he went back to the Cavs too.

Yeah. If they can get PG or Butler without giving up Love then they are in a great spot. But giving up Love is just swapping around deck chairs for a pattern that maybe matches the boat design a little nicer

Do you think Gilbert called Lebron and he approved ? Or is he indifferent and not answering ? Or like passive aggressive and being like "do what you gotta do , bro"

Butler dominates the ball a lot more offensively, I'd rather have George if I already had LeBron and Kyrie

Lebron is going to go from team to team, leaving each after they have exhausted every bit of luxury tax penalties they can pay. Lakers are the ultimate challenge.

If Butler is the third option, his numbers will fall just like Bosh and Love's did. Love was a WS > .230, PER > 25 player just like Butler. Butler is also just 1 year younger, so it's not like there's a big difference in age or anything.
