Also if I could get off this Metz club BS y'all needed while Zeke Moore moved on to leave room for better players. ok... if the 76ers dont make the playoffs next year, i will lobby to have your post limit removed. if they do make the playoffs, you impose a 1-year self ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'm pretty sure we could put together a billikens.com all star team that could make the playoffs in the east next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Willie is going to make at least 4.5 million next year. That's pretty legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkielBreakers Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Boston should go after him. He would be an upgrade at center for them, and they are looking to win now. Obviously, that would be fun for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see BOS tying up money long-term with their impending FAs, nor Willie settling for a one-year deal at that price but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Memphis could probably use him too. Zach Randolph just left for Sacramento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie is a different kind of 6'10" forward than Chandler Parsons is, to be sure. But I would still be surprised if the Grizzlies have the minutes or the money to devote to Willie this year.

I'm not sure a team like the Grizzlies can realistically hope for much more in today's NBA. Even with Randolph, they couldn't compete with the super-teams. But making the playoffs year in, year out seems pretty damn good for a market like Memphis. Every year they have a chance to get hot and beat a team or two like San Antonio in the postseason.

Also, Lionel Hollins and co deserve the credit, and Hollinger has done little to improve the situation. I am not a Hollinger fan. My frustrations began with the Rudy Gay trade. I think it ended a real shot at making the finals, maybe even a championship. An outside shot, but with the way things played out that year, it was much more significant than most think. He had a long-term losing contract, but did Austin Daye or Tayshaun Prince really make up the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Their margin for error as a 7 or 8 seed is low, I'll admit, but I don't expect them to be significantly worse next year. Their biggest problem has been drafting over the past several seasons. As I see it, that's the biggest reason Gasol/Conley/Randolph and Co. were never able to reach the Finals. But there's no rule forcing Memphis to keep drafting terribly. Solve that problem and the core that's left is still good enough to keep building playoff teams around.
