I predict that Horford won't start with Embiid. But he's going to get like 30 minutes a game between PF and C anyway. The Sixers will go deep into their rotation. Horford will start those 20ish games Embiid sits for load purposes.

They definitely need some cheap pickups like Curry or Lin or something. Maybe Calderon.

so we can all get a hearty laugh at the Rockets and Celtics and probably Lakers right now right?

hey, the rockets are perfectly positioned to keep grinding 50 wins and eliminating some younger, probably more fun to watch team in the playoffs before flaming out

Yeah it does not make any sense to me. I don't know how the Sixers managed to assemble a talented starting five that's even less coherent than the 2018-19 version, but hats off to them.

Also makes the Mike Scott signing weird. He's the fourth best PF on their roster now

I mean its interesting in the sense that like, this is the ultimate test of "get the best talent you can and worry about fit later" but, and I cannot stress this enough, they are starting 3 centers and a power forward.

I know there's been Twin Towers, but has there been a lineup simply called the Great Wall?

Man I wouldn't be shocked if injuries or something crept up and janky games had lineups of Simmons, Harris, Scott, Horford and Embiid.

Can Miami do much with Butler and... uh... Whiteside? And one more year of Dragic?

Beal is telling every reporter he can find that Ted Leonsis has promised not to trade him, for whatever that's worth.

Your point is true, but to at least in the Sixers case, Ben, Joel and Al are all proven good or great defenders.

The Jump just said Dragic is being spun off to Dallas, but I can't find anything online confirming that

e: Nichols originally attributed it to Woj but then said it was Shelburne. She hasn't posted anything on Twitter tho
