Maybe it allows pat to start? Noel/siakam is a nightmare on offense but at least it's not yak/siak and maybe siakam jumper comes along later in the season?

I'd like to see bebe play. It's a lot to ask yak play 100 games on an ecf team and if jv gets hurt we're thin. Less so with Sully but fat guy on one foot is not ecf material.

JawsGT wrote: View Postperhaps, and then when Sully returns you have various frontcourt options to roll with. And I guess Poeltl and Pascal would lose their minutes. I honestly don't know how I feel about that, but they are rookies and will have plenty of time to get minutes next season and beyond. I think it's too early in the season for me to get behind any trades right now. But I feel about Poeltl the same way I feel/felt about Norman, and that he is a legit NBA player and very likely an impact one at that.
I like the rooks but heavy mins on 905 would be a good thing too. Similar your norm comp.

lewro wrote: View PostYeah, I think you are right but maybe a little more 5/4 than 4/5 compared to sully. Raps would need the Sully situation as you say but noel is so much less familiar with the 4 than Sully. I'm splitting hairs but I think noel is big insurance if jv goes down or certain matchups. We'd be in trouble if jv gets hurt right now.

If the goal is to beat the Cavs, then I'd rather have CoJo than Noel.. CoJo has proven he can defend Irving. We don't need guys defending Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love.
Cav's were 23rd last year in Points in the Paint. And they are 25th this year (sample size is small, but trend seems to be the same as last year). So I'd rather have a defensive guard than a defensive big if I'm trying to beat them.

Jv, poeltl, siakam, pat. That's ok but a full season and playoffs is a stretch. I'm discounting Sully bc I'm not expecting much.

As a C Philly was outscored by 6 pts/100 poss. As a PF Philly was outscored by 20 pts/100 poss.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Better to have a perimeter defender than a rim protector if you're trying to beat the Cavs (or the Warriors). Wright is too inexperienced, and both Norm/Ross do better against 2's and 3's.
