I'm just trying to see where our growth is going to come from. JJ could be a game changer for us. If it's just more of my turn/your turn Trae and DJM, I'm not bullish on that as a winning formula.
I don't think they are taking discounts so the team can afford to max out some other guy. More likely they felt comfortable here, and told their agents not to play hard ball.
Soth, once you stop growing, that's it. You dont stop growing for 5 years and then start growing again. Go look at photos of OO from high school. He was an early bloomer, not a late bloomer.
Um no. OO literally hasn't grown since like 10th grade. Look at his old pictures where he is towering over Lamelo Ball. That's not how growth works. Probably just how he was measured or a wink-wink PR move. Photographic evidence will show he is the same height as before. He will be noticeably slightly shorter than players who are actually 6'10".
They aren't trading Embiid. The fact that Morey didn't offer Harden a max extension perhaps is a sign he's finally coming to his senses. There is nothing worse than over paying/over extending past their prime players.
