Who had to rest the last 10 or so games of the year with knee issues.
I’m with you...no thanks. Not for that many years and that many dollars.
Anyone who believes or listens to anything twitter related 24 hrs before free agency is crazy.
Things are oddly quiet. The only smoke seems to be growing reports of a sign and trade deal with Butler. For a team with every incentive to run back last year’s squad, it’s odd.
Along with Kyrie and DeAndre Jordan. 2019-2020 is a bit of a wash, but the Nets will be pretty good the following year.
Welp. That shoots a hole in the theory where the Sixers bring their team back.
Sixers need to find a 3 point shooter now that JJ is gone. I really thought JJ would be back. Good locker room guy and leader plus he is intelligent. Defense wasn't the best. Sixers will miss JJ
That's a lot of $$ for a player that's pretty old by NBA standards, and can't defend. I was hoping the Sixers would bring him back, as he filled a nice role on the Sixers. With all the unknowns for the Sixers (I believe only 4 players are on a contract for next season), especially with Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler, it would have been nice to be Redick back, but not at that rate. There are some shooters available as FAs and RFAs. Hopefully, the Sixers can land one of them, in addition to most of their core.
#RunItBack basically ends at the start of the free agency period.
Tobias signs max...5 years $180MM
*with the Sixers. Guess I should have added that

New Orleans can now put 5 Dukies on the floor (and they fit together fairly well)
Jahlil Okafor
Zion Williamson
Brandon Ingram
Frank Jackson
JJ Redick
with Trajan Langdon as the General Manager
GLOV, make sure you sign up for the NBA package out there in Wyoming.
Everyone points to JJ’s defense which if you watch is not bad in the team defense concepts. Those who really understand basketball knows how important he was to embiid and Simmons with his movement and spacing. JJ set tons of screens to open both up because teams had to respect the pick and pop, watch the struggle next year without him. Simmons can’t shoot and embiid thinks he is a 2
I have to think they have a plan to offset his loss. It may not work as well, but I would not count on them just letting him walk with no replacement.
Aside from his presence in the locker room, JJ is the easiest sort of player to replace.
Jordan isn’t that good. KD is getting older and just had a pretty serious injury that will require him to sit out all of next season. That’s just long enough for Kyrie to get the $hits of Brooklyn and his teammates. I’m predicting failure for this lineup.
