    Sixers will probably get some picks back too, good for them. I assume at least, i don't think they need Chandler at all...unless they'll move Covington and Saric for Kawhi.

    Just saw. He’s not that great but we have no one to replace Ariza

    One less team with significant cap for CAPela.

    I'm hoping Morey is targeting Otto Porter.

    Does that mean Philly is out of the Kawhi sweepstakes or do they still have the salary and or space to trade for him?

    Wilson Chandler was atop my wishlist. Right next to Otto Porter. I really don’t know what the plan is to replace Ariza. I’m convinced the Rockets were blindsided by him bolting.

    Going through this thread in 8-10 months will be fun. I'm going to @ all the people panicking. Happens every year.

    Wilson Chandler is an ok player, but I have no real disappointment in not getting him.

    The bigger concern isn't any one player though, it's that we have to get someone haha.

    Really? Otto Porter is significantly better than chandler.

    Chandler is a poor man's Ariza.

    I don't want him. He's not a good shooter.

    So, barring a trade for another star, we are running it back without Luc or Ariza. I am not thrilled.

    Yeah, i mean, it's still good for depth, but while they lost Beli and Ilyasova, they still have a toon of guards and wings:

    Simmons, Fultz, McConnell, Redick, Luwawu, Korkmaz, Covington, the guy they got in the draft by Phoenix, Justin Anderson, Saric, Holmes...and they should also bring in Bolden...i mean, they have really a lot of players in those spots lol

    It’s just carryover from seasons ago. I actually wanted Chandler to replace Ryno. Plus I’m not liking Porter’s contract situation. Definitely better than Chandler though.
