Tobias 0 points in his last game as a Sixer

incoming 100M offer from the Pistons

He can score relatively well with the ball in his hands and the pistons are just looking to get mediocre. I could see them offering a FVV type contract to him.

76ers will definitely get someone. They're an attractive market and there will be a lot of player movement due to teams treadmilling and cap pressures. It's funny Embiid blamed lack of continuity for falling short when: A) Philly has had continuity for 3 seasons now and B) His injuries makes it difficult for the team to seed higher and compete in the playoffs.

There's only one free agent, PG, and the Clippers don't have their pick. They can't tank. Can pay him the most money.

they extended kawhi already; they would've cracked open that checkbook already for PG and its not like ballmer is hurting for money. he's probably gone this summer.

If Ballmer thinks he's able to do better with Kawhi and Harden...he's crazy. PG's resigning with the Clippers. They are married to this current situation. Maybe they let Harden walk...but I can't imagine them resigning Kawhi and not PG as well.

We need to tank again next year and make sure we get a blue chip prospect to partner with Scottie. Like how Orlando has Wagner and Banchero.

Mobley is NOT that guy. It’s not just about tools, you gotta have some dog in you and I don’t think he got jr.

[treerollins]

mitchell and mobley combine for 53 in the game 6 loss (50 & 3)

i think cavs could’ve been like 46-36 with just mitchell and allen and like 26-56 with just garland and mobley

It's funny that people were calling him a generational talent before he was drafted.

[PhilBlackson]

I swear it’s not even about hating on Mobley because of the whole “argument” about who was ROTY…

Just any game I’ve bothered to watch the Cavs, I’ve watched him and just been really underwhelmed. He doesn’t seem like he’s evolved all that much since entering the league. Really good defensively (honestly a tad overrated in the moment BUT I can see him still being able to become a dpoy type of player.

Not that I expected him to be as skilled as Chet or Wemby but I did think he’d be a notch or two up from this as he had more time to develop. Maybe it’s because I imagined so much during the draft when truthfully by the time we got to draft he was top of my list (I admit it was Green in weeks prior to it lol). While I didn’t think he’d have guard like skills like the guys I mentioned I thought his game would be something like Duncan from the mid range and around the post. Just a textbook/fundamentals type of scorer who would have some better footwork, good touch inside mid to post but he’s really been used (or only stepping up to be) basically as another Nic Claxton with maybe a little more offence here and there.

It’s not even about how many points he gets because I understand he’s 3rd in the pecking order but just watching his skill set. I really thought he would start showing scary signs of potential but it’s just much of the same. Maybe I just haven’t obviously watched enough of him.

Clippers fail again. Imagine being so desperate you think PJ Tucker in the starting lineup will reverse your fortunes.

Another useless playoff performance by Harden too. Anyone who gives him close to a max is foolish.

I was never really that impressed with Mobley. Scottie has separated himself as the best player from his class. I’m actually a bit surprised at how little Mobley has improved in three years. I thought he had more upside than this when he was drafted.

[Kevin Willis]

Did Mann value drop this year? I was hoping he would get better like Maxey but it didn't happen.

[Los_29]

It’s weird how his value was so high in the first place. He’s already 27 and never really had high upside. Clippers really dropped the ball there.

[sidsid]

The only Sixers domino this offseason may be the George contract. If he's off the table, maybe they go after Jimmy Butler if the Heat kind of realize that's over.

If they truly get nothing the Embiid trade market heats up. I can't imagine he'd be happy running back a team that lost to a depleted Knicks team, regardless of his knee. I could honestly see Morrey thinking he'd rather have a great return instead of gambling on that knee again.

[Coco Costanza]

This NBA playoffs is like a nightmare scenario for the league. Bucks, Lakers, Suns, Clippers, Sixers, Heat, Warriors, all out.

Knicks and Celtics are still big draws in the east and nav’s and nuggets are probably bigger draws than the thunder and twolves but Anthony Edwards is becoming can’t miss tv.

Scottie and Segun. Now Cavaliers have a decision to make whether to max him this off-season

that butler iteration of the sixers team was the best in the embiid era. riley gonna bend morey over before he gets anywhere close to butler.

other than the bucks, its old era out, new era in. nba has to be loving it.

Orlando hasn't done sh**, y'all need to stop praising them as if they are a tanking success story. They have been bad for over 15 years, getting to game 7 in the first round once against Cleveland means nothing.

Cavs fans will blame Donovan Mitchell for stunting Mobley's growth.

He's always been a plus defender but he has not grown at all offensively.
