@KurtBenkert Yes. The call against the Eagles in the Superbowl was reprehensible.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@SixersSideliner Reggie Jackson will be a good sub as well. Hopefully a Lou Williams type of spark.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@SixersAdam You're way off here. He's going to be their 6th man based on usage last year. Lowry is 38 and his playoff performance left alot ot be desired last season. He and Gordon are going to be in and out of rotation based on injuries and such.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@KlutchKris76 No reason to do those older vets yet. Let's explore younger and higher upside guys like RC4. Even Keve and Mintz deserve a look for next couple weeks before committing. Those guys are not going anywhere yet.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@Donze_77 @HurtsyIvania Eric Gordon is savvy vet at end of bench and there to mentor more than anything at this point. Council and McCain will lock that spot up by mid year.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@NetsFrequent Not doing KJ Martin even up for him. Rather keep him. There will be other vets out there or buyouts in February. Can survive til then. He's not worth any real compensation. 8.5 points per game last year. Stats are unimpressive. 31 year old role player making 15 million. Nah!

[JA @tuxxologist]

@JWeinbachNBA For now, Sixers have done most of the heavy lifting. Think they can ride this outnwith NN at the helm & see how it all shakes out. No rush!. They've had years of 4 on 5 w/Thybulle & Tucker on offense. KJ Martin might fill the bill on his own & do the dirty work the lineup needs.

@maxeyeraa @Grant_Lownes @Acester25 @JWeinbachNBA Wait to get Highsmith for veteran minimum and give up no assets. Younger and better. DFS is old and expensive.

[JA @tuxxologist]

Sixers last 5 spots
1) Lonnie Walker
2) Luke Kennard
3) Markelle Fultz
4) Dario Saric
5) Haywood Highsmith

Good mix of familiarity, experience mixed with youth, scoring, shooting, passing & rebounding. And no one older than 30 years old here. @dmorey make the magic happen.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@drewmsmith @sixers Can sign Roy Hinson pretty cheap right now.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@SixersFrenzy You can get close to his production on a vet minimum. Just like with Oubre. He's done here. Be patient...

[JA @tuxxologist]

@MattTalksBall_ Kyle Lowry was a disappointment. Think he's done. Buddy was bricking too much here and inconsistent. I like Kelly.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@Zwick_Christian Fred Johnson at swing tackle is probably ahead of 6th rounder McMahon. Burks makes it on special teams & dire need for LB's. & Jobe stays as special teams ace. Brown on PUP for 1st half season & Albert O goes to PS. Agree otherwise.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@mrcrockpot @Anthony60957284 Tobias Harris is Mr. Invisible. Was Morey's biggest failing. Not dumping him like he did Horford, Simmons, Harden and Tucker. That was the one he should have done as soon as he got into town. Did better on the others. Sure was alot of dead weight on this team with bad contracts.

@SmallToxy @over_tok @KnicksMuse To add Maxey is a stud!!!

[JA @tuxxologist]

@SmallToxy @over_tok @KnicksMuse If u have been watching lately. Embiid passing the ball better than ever & not forcing it. Hield, Batum Payne & Reed is a solid bench compared to past years. Oubre instead of Matisse in starting lineup also an upgrade. Lowry is a pro & clutch. Melton not so much! Talk after. 😉

[JA @tuxxologist]

@thesilentMIA I am. 😉 Sixers on 9 game winning streak since Embiid came back. Hasn't had to dominate. Conditioning is off. But passing the ball better as teams gang up.Kinda like this version, but power & finesse is less. For now! A 70% Embiid destroys most centers in NBA still. 2 way force!

[JA @tuxxologist]

@over_tok @KnicksMuse Knicks will come out rusty in 1st Half. Expect Sixers to have lead early here & hold on to win & regain home court. Knicks are overachievers in my mind. If Brunson doesn't play out of his mind, they lose. Sixers can take turns & have depth. Philly only can beat themselves here.

[JA @tuxxologist]

@greg728_ @jasonmyrt He will be on LTIR before too long. Massive overpay on contract by previous regime and rewarding on past achievements. Flyers always seem to have 2 or 3 horrendous contracts since I can remember.
