Derrick White = 17.5 million per year

Delon Wright = 8.5 for this year only

I do not think White is worth that money to come off our bench when Wright has stepped up in a major way lately. Before Wright got here his numbers were very similar to White's on a per minute basis. White's role would be exactly what Wright's is now, as a combo guard who can defend. We are getting really good minutes in that role from Delon at half of the cost.

We would also have to send out a good player or two role players to bring in his contract.

White cannot do what Bogi did last night. He costs more than Wright and Lou combined. 

He is subtraction by addition.

We got the city edition unis tomorrow and they got the puke green. Puke rec puke in da bay mayne. 

I’m still getting one..  I know they have been bad luck for us but let’s turn that around and just make them our good luck ones too! After all, red and yellow have always been our predominant colors anyways. 
 

 

Welp, there goes our streak.

Per Kirshner

For tonight’s game vs. Boston: Danilo Gallinari (right eye irritation) is questionable. De’Andre Hunter (low back discomfort) is questionable.

Oh maaaan, lower back, at least not the knee but damn is Dre not as strong as his body suggests? We can use him but if he needs to sit them by all means, sit and heal.

Remember Dre was almost killed by two Hornets in that dirty af foul where he landed hard on his side and back.

I think Morey has been told by the Sixers partial owner that is good friends with Harden to wait until the offseason to either S&T Simmons for Harden or to move Simmons to clear space to sign Harden.

Smells like a tampering charge heading Sixers way, but the NBA's punishment for tampering is not even noteworthy enough to deter teams.

Lou can guard wings. At least the Lemmon pepper kind.

If Dre sits, 

We might as well just Let the C's wings go at Kevin/Bogi while their teammates just stand around. We’re at our worst defending screen actions and closing out on shooters anyway... It may be best to welcome post ups and isolation plays. lol... I’ll take giving up slow developing 2 point baskets over fast breaks, wide open 3s, and back door cuts.

I heard it on NBA radio and thought chalk that as a loss, my source is an idiot.

You "think", huh?

Remember when BSPN cracked down on Woj pre-reporting picks at the draft.  So, instead of outright saying what the pick is, he would be like "the Cavs are leaning towards so-and-so".

Is this like that?  Actually, no, don't answer that.  We don't need another round of mod-wars kickin' off.

Too soon?

Nah but I'm kidding.  I do think that's a plausible theory.  I also think it's bullcrap tampering.  I also think Adam Sliver's league won't do a dang thing about it other than shake his widdle fist and clinch his teeth slightly.

It's probably why they're trying to glom Harris' contract onto the discussion.
