Just wanted to come on here to ask a question/try and understand the purpose of saying we are fraudulent. Not even a week ago we were able to beat a full force Celtic team and for the most part we were controlling the game. Then we have a back to back game with missing pieces from our bench/significant scorers (Oubre and Batum) Also just an Embiid stinker where he looked sluggish and out of it, Nurse also decided to have Pat Bev and Morris on the floor at the same time combined they went 0/7. How does this mean we aren’t able to beat the Celtics consistently. If Embiid plays somewhat competent and Nurse puts out better rotations that game we win. I also get the perspective that they were missing two starters but shit happens. I seriously see this team as a contender that competes with the big teams. Regardless just wanted some answers/opinions on this matter.
We’re not frauds, I do think we are a piece away from being true contenders though. But luckily we have the assets to do so. And the piece probably doesn’t even need to be another all-star imo, just a good fit high level starting role player.
Ideally we can have a roughly 8 man roster come playoff time:
Embiid - Batum - Tobias - NewPlayer - Maxey - Oubre - Melton - BBall
Maybe situationally we can use RoCo or maybe springer if he develops enough by playoff time. Really, patrick beverly or kork never really needs to play in the playoffs, and definitely not morris (ideally, he’s gone with the trade for our last piece)
