His expiring might be useful on a possible trade if we need to eat a bad contract in the process. And he is not really that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I'd like to start a discussion on what our team would look like with Fultz back in action. I know this largely depends on who is with us at the time but just speaking hypothetically. Someone yesterday posted something about how Philly's offense is a motion based offense they rarely relies on pick and rolls and that he should benefit greatly by playing for us (alluding to us running more pick and rolls). The thing is we don't run a lot of pick and rolls. We run what maybe 15% of our offense off 1-5 pick and rolls? So if the pick and roll is Fultz's strength what does the offense look like? Do we look like the same team until Vuch is moved? Just interested on how the team dynamics change with Fultz's game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 So in theory the earliest possible date Fultz could play with us is next week vs Charlotte as he's just hanging with Bamba now and not going on the road trip. But most likely it's going to be after that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he actually is fine in a motion offense being that Briscoe has no problem creating off the dribble even without a pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's can incorporate himself into the team by just playing briscoe's role. He's maximized by playing pick and roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Gordon's improved passing I'd love to see him get to have more opportunities to be the ball handler in those situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think playing with super high usage embiid and a guy who refuses to shoot hurt impacted Fultz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I continue to be confused by Lowe of all people still pushing the “what is Orlando doing” narrative. His assessment of yesterday’s deal is that we are still “wandering”. Idk, maybe we’re biased bc we’re fans of the team but that seems like a pretty obvious & straightforward trade to make. Buying low on a skilled prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45degree 3 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I would be really surprise if we don`t keep Vuc this summer, our FO will not let an above average center that wants to be here walk. This plus Bamba needing playing time, means we will lose Birch in the off-season, right? And delay Bamba evolution. The alternative is losing Vuc, keeping Birch and let Bamba start. I don`t love that either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
