what young core are you taking over phillys right now?
Are you talking potential, or what they've actually done?
Potentially Philly could be very, very good, but in actuality, they've got 2 players who have performed above average for 1, and 1/2 season respectively, and another who has been NBA average for a few.
Obviously GS's future, even long-term is brighter, but so is probably Phoenix's, Minny's, and Boston's. Also looks like LA may be a "player" with Magic in charge. The past has been full of "potential" dynasties that never won a darn thing. Just a few seasons ago, didn't we hear how great OKC would be for years? How'd that go?
you can consider both when choosing
obviously i wasnt talking about golden state(scary to think they can still be considered a young core)...come on now..give me some credit...just the up and coming younger cores
pheonix - maybe after tonight if they get kp...but right now neither of those twigs(bender/chriss) are covering embiid...and dont give me alex len...hes outa the game in 2 mins after 2 quick fouls...booker is awesome but were pressing up and denying hard with big jo jo behind us...tlc is gonna be in that a$s
minny - fultz>lavine..simmons>wiggins....i think that will be proven by the end of the year...towns is a monster but i dont understand why he hasnt had more of a defensive impact there...i thought he showed a ton of potential there at kentucky...until he plays better d in the nba, embiid will have a chance to be the better player
boston - cant count thomas and horford in the young core...smart might give fultz problems with his d but fultz also gets to play free safety on d while he dares smart to jack up bad 3s...probably havent seen enough of him, but jaelyn brown looks pretty average...what does he do really well? oh and of course they have no one to cover embiid(please dont get anthony davis!)
la - we can talk when paul george is there...magic wanted the lakers to draft okafor and compared mcw to jkidd when he was traded to the bucks...im not worried there(ok a lil worried...hes still a fa draw)...fultz is roasting ball...embiid already tossed up 30+ on brook....simmons has 40 pounds on ingram
durant - great
westbrook - great
harden - great
id say it worked out well...im not expecting bc to dismantle our young big 3 like presti did...were not keeping saric or covington over simmons or fultz if it came down to it
