Hard not to be a Warriors fan if both Kelly and Andrew stay there.

This may quickly answer the whole “is Oubre better than Wiggins” question

Jackson lived in Detroit ( or somewhere in Michigan, MICH? ) from a baby til high school.
Jayhawks consolidating which is good because fewer teams to root for but bad if they steal playing time from each other.

luckily, Josh and Svi have shared minutes before

Vonte
Wiggins
Oubre
Marcus
Embiid

Mason
Josh
McLemore
Kief

12th place in the East.

Wiggins would only have to be the 3rd best player

Vonte

Oubre

Embiid

Mason

McLemore

12th place in the East.

I have included 2019/2020 stats fwiw - which may be nothing - or something - I'll leave it up to others to decide.

Embiid 23 points / 11.6 reb
Diallo 4.7 points / 2.8 reb
Azubuike ?
MC Morris 16.7 points / 5 reb
MK Morris 9.7 points / 3.8 reb
Oubre 18.7 points / 6.4 reb
Wiggins 21.8 points / 5.1 reb
Jackson 9 points / 3 reb
McLemore 10.1 points
Mykhailiuk 9 points / 1.9 reb
Graham 18.2 points / 7.5 asst
Mason 6.9 points / 3.2 asst

PLAYOFF team in the East
Why not?
What 8 teams would be better?

Brooklyn (if they can stay heathy - which they have proven they can't)
Boston
Miami
Milwaukee (Probably/maybe - but who the hell knows who is/will be playing for them? - I can't keep track)
Indiana
Toronto/Tampa

After that - who?

Remember, Philadelphia wouldn't have Embiid.
Orlando? I don't think so.
Charlotte? Maybe.
Washington? Probably not.
Chicago? Should be, could be, don't think so though.
Knicks? Not based off of last season no matter if they get Westbrook and/or Hayward or not.
Pistons? Maybe. Underachievers but have made a LOT of changes so I really can't even guess.
Hawks? They were horse shit last season despite having Trae and some talent.
Cavs? No.

You don’t have star power.
I’m not sure if Embiid is ( sadly enough ) the guy to lead your team.
I could see 8th in the East, sure.

[ousdahl]

It’s still early in his career, but maybe just maybe Devonte has “the guy” ability

Its hard for a center to lead the team in todays NBA

[pdub]

Agree.

Bucks pulled offer to Mason. He’s an unrestricted FA.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Weird. They need friendly contracts like Frank’s. They must be trying to make a deal for a vet.

My thoughts too. Probably have a vet coming on a minimum deal.

[Sparko]

Frank is a winner and tough as nails. Want to see him get a real chance.

The Bogdonavic deal falling through had to play a role.

There's still a lot of time left and granted, this is a bad time in the world for this, but he may be soon staring at the decision of either making $50m overseas for a decade or being the NBA's version of a AAAA player.

If he was bigger, he'd be a starting PG, no question.
