WHY EACH TEAM DOES THIS

76ers

KD, Embiid and maxey would be the best offensive team since the 2017 warriors Retain key pieces such as batum and oubre, guys that have been crucial to our success Add a bench ball handler which we need albiet a good bit worse than melton Still maintain our defensive identity

Projected lineup

Starters

Maxey, Oubre, Batum, KD, Embiid

Bench

Beverly, Killian, Roco/Mccdaniels, Mook/Roco, Reed

Pistons

Adding a talented powerforward for cheap Retain Bogi who provides crucial spacing Add an interesting young wing in KJ

Projected Lineup

Starters

Cade, Ivey, Bogi, Tobi, Duren

Bench

Monte/Sasser, Burks, Ausar/KJ/Livers, Livers/Ausar, Stew

Suns

Adding an allstar caliber player for KD Adding 3 firsts and 3 swaps in addition Potential to shoot for a guy like Wendell or Allen to replace nurk as they fit the mold of what Vogel needs Increased defensive versatility

Projected Lineup

Starters

Booker, Beal, Okogie, Pascal, Nurkic

Bench

Goodwin, Allen, …

Sixers

POTENTIAL LINEUP

Maxey, Melton, Og, Batum, Embiid Fultz, Bev, Oubre, Roco, Reed

Why We do This*

Adding defense Adding Guard depth Getting Roco more minutes Keeping chemistry Despite a "overpay" in terms of raw value OG is infinitely more valuable than tobi in the nick nurse system

Raptors

POTENTIAL LINEUP*

Shroder, Trent, Scottie, Tobi, Poetl Flynn, Springer/dick/Bouknight, Mccdaniels/Porter, Smoth/Precious, Boucher

Why They do This*

Cash in and begin rebuild around scottie Still solid roster that can compete for a playin spot Good return for siakam and og (3 firsts for og and pascal nets in 3 prospects and a solid starting forward 2 firsts and 4 seconds) Have a set direction for the first time in years

Pacers

POTENTIAL LINEUP*

Hali, Brown, Nesmith, Pascal. Turner TJ, Nemhard, Mathurin, Toppin, Richards

Why They do This*

Build a legit contending lienup Strengthens their weak defense Gets a great bench lob threat rebounding center who is good defensively Only tra…

HE PROVIDES NO SPACING

Demar derozan is a career 29% 3 point shooter on 1.5 attempts per game, As the sixers do have legitimate spacing issues (Bottom 3 team in 3's attempted) with key guys like Maxey, Embiid, and harris need space in the paint to opperate, it makes legitimately 0 sense to add such a low volume shooter to our roster

HE IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH DEFENDER

Despite nick nurse doing a solid job with our defensive scheme, we consistently have issues with guys like maxey and embiid being hunted in the pnr opening up our back line, We had guys like Oubre and Nico to provide extra defensive juice but with them out, why would we add at best a solid defensive player to our rotation

HE IS NO LONGER SUPERHUMAN FROM THE MIDRANGE

Averaging a career low in midrange shot% if im not mistaken at a pitiful 34.2% why would we want to add a player whose best strength has been bad thus far? Also with him climbing up in age it is ebst for us to avoid any harden to the clippers type of scen…

He heavily insinuated that KAT was a guy that had virtually no trade value due to the fact that A sais a former teamate of jimmy butler had no trade value and B said it wasnt tobias harris or ben simmons, With us knowing that he is incredibly solid for information draft wise and nba rumour wise it's not to fark out of reality to assume that Kat has no value.

His credibility

Said the Cam Whitmore drop

Said bilal was promised by the wizards

Said harden would opt in and ask out

Siad the clippers and suns were front runners / Heavy buyers for james

As I got into the draft more than ever this year, I found his accoutn and followed him since october, hes worked with teams in the past such as thw wizards and does have connections in the league, not to far to assume that KAT seems like a buy low guy more than anything now…

DEFENSE*

The phrase defense wins champions has held true as most teams in the past 25 years have won the chip without a top 10 defensive rating, The 2 that didn't, The 2001 Lakers and 2017 Warriors, Are head and shoulders consodered one of the greatest teams of all time. Teams that fit that criteria are

Cleveland, Boston, Memphis, Milwaukee, Bulls, Pelicans, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Miami, and Minnesota.

As the raptors are 11th and are not heavy favorites in any playoff matchup thats 10 teams that could win the chip, we can now eliminate the

OKC, LAL, LAC, GSW, Denver, Brooklyn, New York, Atlanta and Sacramento

Phil Jackson Clause*

The Phil Jackson Clause is that no team is a true contender if they lose 20 games before they win 40. The 40-20 rule is more accurately the 40-22 rule due to the miami heat and the 95 rockets who added clyde drexler at the deadline. Teams that fit this criteria are the

Sixers, Bucks, Celtics and *Suns (KD Clause)

Shooting Rule*

In the past 10 years n…

We probably aren't making it out of the second round, we are a pitifully unathletic and slow team, not to mention our issues with rebounding and how efficient teams shoot at the rim against us, if we truly are going to make a finals push we genuinely need soemone who can provide secondary rim protection alongside embiid who can also help with our issues in transition offense and defense and/or to fire doc, firing doc won't happen till next season at the earliest. The thing is we have no way to make a move like that due to how pitiful our pick situation is, at best we are maybe an ecf out but that means almost everything has to go right for us…
