The sixers have made mad moves, signing JJ Redick and Amir Somebody, it's gonna be a big year!

I think they're still searching for the right pieces and chemistry
They were only a few wins better than the sixers last year, but they had Towns, Wiggins, and Lavine. They should have been better, me thinks.

Amir Johnson. Good for business guy, but his ankles are shot. Hope he does well. Spent the season defending him, even though he didn't have much in the tank.

Both guys signed a 1 year contract, so a large amount of flexibility and low amount of risk for the Sixers. Hopefully they can win 40 games and attract bigger name free agents the following season.

C's get Gordon Hayward.
Sadly, this prolly spells the end of the Kelly Olynyk era in Boston. :D

Ooo, they're loading up to challenge the Cavs!

Tatum looked decent in his first game, so did Fultz. I really hate when people watch 22 minutes of summer league play and call Fultz a bust.

Here's a highlight video for the truly bored!

Markelle Fultz Full 76ers Debut Highlights vs Celtics (2017.07.03) Summer League - 17 Pts, 3 Blks

The only thing that disappointed me, a little, was the lack of foot speed. I thought Fultz was a little faster. He seems to be able to jump, 3 blocks. Smooth jump shot and good handle. Maybe not a classic point guard, but a definite offensive threat. He'll be good.

I don't know if the Celts are done yet. Aren't they supposed to be going after one more free agent?

I think they need to.  They lost all their bigs (except Al Horford)

Kelly Olynyk - gone most likely
Jonas Jerebko - gone most likely
Amir Johnson - gone
Tyler Zeller - gone

That's our guys 6'9" and taller.

Obviously Ante Zizic will make the team.  We don't have anyone else.  Rebounding was our problem last year, and it doesn't look much better.

Maybe they get Marc Gasol. I'm behind on my NBA rumors today.

This is a good article. Maybe a bit Phillycentric, but it's a good snapshot of the league right now.

Maybe at the Fontainbleau! When I was there in March. I saw two really big guys who seemed to be college or NBA players.


I've never been to a Heat game or A Dolphins game. I've seen the Panthers twice, and I've gone to 4 or 5 Miami Marlins games. i have a friend who used to have season tickets to the dolphins, he gave them up a few years ago when the team started to get bad.

Lonzo "airrrr" Ball! Lonzo had a bad shooting night in his summer league debut, 2 for 14....bust! :D

It ain't Philly basketball until someone gets catastrophically injured.

Lonzo ball doesn't really bother me, but his dad's a cretin.

He got into a twitter war with Joel Embiid, It was silly. I'm kind of annoyed at Embiid too, he needs to get off the damn twitter! :D

You should start a thread titled 362443 in which you post what Embiid tweets. :D
