I'm mostly advocating Capela as a much needed quality backup C, but I'm unclear how he'd do as a PF. I'd still imagine there'd be times where they could smother teams with defense though.

I'd still imagine there'd be times where they could smother teams with defense though. Paying a backup center that much money is extremely stupid roster construction. Capela holds up well on switches for a center he loses a lot of his defensive value if he's playing the four a lot. It is super easy to find competent regular season backup centers for the minimum and in the playoffs you can play Tucker there in a lot of lineups like the Rockets have MourningView fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jun 26, 2019 |

It’ll be interesting to see how Porzingis looks on a good, well-coached team. Shotblocking + threes is obviously a crazy valuable combo but he always seemed a touch overrated in NY, not incredibly efficient on offense and able to get bullied on defense

MourningView posted:Paying a backup center that much money is extremely stupid roster construction. Capela holds up well on switches for a center he loses a lot of his defensive value if he's playing the four a lot. If Embiid goes through the Kawhi load management plan, that'd probably need an above minimum pay-grade C to play all those missed games and minutes. I don't trust the Bobans, Amirs, and Greg Monroes of the world, it doesn't seem as easy as you make it out to be to get competent ones. I'm not sure what the proper salary of said person would be in the current salary climate, but it's probably at a luxury level the Sixers owners can afford. In an ideal world, Jonah Bolden will have spent 3 Earth days in a Hyperbolic Time Chamber to become the perfect cheap backup PF/C.

the entire concept of the kawhi load management plan is that the regular season minutes he misses do not matter. if they matter enough that you plan to have a second starting center then you just wouldnt rest your star in the first place

Spacebump posted:What are reasonable expectations for Porzingis next season? He's been back running drills for a bit now and should be good to go for the season. If he's back from the ACL tear you got yourself a reliable second option volume scorer behind Doncic. Also he's a better rebounder than his stats indicate since he was just always next to a black hole rebounder. Biggest issues were conditioning and injuries other than that he's pretty much a star and still like 22 years old, but the conditioning and constant injuries are big risks.

Ghost Dog posted:the entire concept of the kawhi load management plan is that the regular season minutes he misses do not matter. if they matter enough that you plan to have a second starting center then you just wouldnt rest your star in the first place The Sixers also rely a lot more on Embiid for both offense and defense than the Raptors do on Kawhi. As great as Kawhi is, they were mostly good enough to win 17 of 22 games without him. By contrast, the Sixers won only 8 of 18 games that Embiid missed. There's a reason the Raptors were considered a deep team going into the playoffs. It's probably an issue with coaching, but regardless, the Sixers went into the season with terrible backup C options and it cost them pretty big, both in potential standings and in Embiid's health during the playoffs.

There's a reason the Raptors were considered a deep team going into the playoffs. This contributes to my theory that guys like Greg Monroe are the most detrimental players to a team because they trick coaches and teammates into thinking they are serviceable. This leads to teams not replacing them and coaches being okay with them having slightly higher usage rates than they should have. My gut tells me Jae Crowder and Demarre Carroll also have the Monroe Virus , although I've admittedly watched them play less over the past year.

jae crowder has literally never made a positive basketball play in his entire life and i still dont understand how he fooled anyone into thinking he was good at basketball. demarre carrol was really good at being called a lebron stopper by announcers as lebron was torching him for like 40 pt triple doubles in the playoffs

To be fair to Crowder and Carroll, my impression is they've worked their asses off to achieve what they've gotten--they're guys who could were fringe NBA level to begin with, a lot of coaches fall in love with hard working project players. Monroe started off as a potentially good to great player but seems to have been coasting for a long time. I think their endpoint is pretty similar to Monroe, but for almost the opposite reason as him--sticking around based on reputations. Their reputations as no frills glue/3 and D guys and Monroe's as an former borderline star vet.

I would think so, but I can't remember any big contracts given out to a undeserving Pop guy. Brad Stevens getting Evan Turner a big 4 year contract is a miracle.

Why would the Rockets be after Butler? Yes he's a plus defender (though for how long as he ages is questionable), but offensively I don't see how he fits with Harden and CP3. Tobias Harris would be a great fit for them at the 4.

Chemistry wise though, yeah that's seems like a powder keg.
