Hi Bone, do you still want me to fill this thread in? Happy to do it but I want to confirm first so that we don't duplicate work.

That would be great! Thanks!

Finally got the thread finished, sorry it took so long guys. My baby has been sick this week which has been keeping me busy.

Sorry, Marty. I feel bad. I would have finished it if I knew.

No problem! You do a ton for this site; happy that we always have each other's backs when needed.

Glad we didn't get this guy after all.

Could be worse for us:

I very mistakenly thought the 76ers would be good this year.

Random thought but if they keep sucking ass, I’d trade Bol and a 2nd for Yabusele.

Don't see why Philly would accept such a low price for Yabusele. They could probably get a 1st round pick for him. Besides, I don't think they have come close to giving up yet. They'll need a few more bad months before they get desperate to sell.

Speaking of Philly…. Shared this with Charley smithy a couple of weeks ago. Was about 30 seconds into my 2k game and this happened….




I was rolling.

Very much enjoying the JJ Redick-Lakers implosion taking place this season. Maybe JJ is/can be a good coach but it's not happening in LA and he was pretty smug and arrogant coming into the season.

He’s on a 1 year minimum contract, with no bird rights. He’s basically a rental, so I really doubt anyone trades a 1st rounder for him. I think it’ll come down to who gots the more attractive 2nd rounder they would be willing to give up for a half season.

And I agree Philly isn’t giving up on the season which is why I said “if they keep sucking” haha. Come trade deadline and they still ass I don’t see why they wouldn’t be selling. I guess we’ll see.

Agreed. Would absolutely love Yabu for a second round. He even had the game of his life against us early this season.
