It will be interesting to see if Memphis can hold off Portland they have 17 or 18 games left against 500. + teams more than both Spurs/Portland, I think missing Jae Crowder (traded) will hurt them, his trolling/toughness/shooting will be missed and not sure if Winslow will be back or when. They could very well mirror the Kings where they drop off towards the end after trading away there tough SF vet but the future sure looks bright I rather they make it than Spurs/Portland I've seen enough of both those teams get someone new in.
Tyler Johnson continues the trend of athletic combo guards having a couple of excellent seasons than washing out once they lose half a step, Got waived by the Suns I reckon there would be other teams that pick him up for a small scoring punch.

Man, if you say so. Al Horford has made every team he's ever played for better. That Philadelphia appears to be no better than they were last year says more about the 76ers than it does about Horford, in my opinion. I certainly don't look at the 76ers an think, "Horford should be a sixth man," I look at them and think, "Brett Brown doesn't appear to be a good coach."
Starting Horford put everybody else out of position they literally were playing 3 big men at a time. Al was a C playing PF, Harris was a PF playing SF/SF, and Ben just stayed near the basket. Putting Forkmaz in the lineup frees more space and gets harris back to playing PF and Embiid getting more space down low.
Also Elton Brand destroyed the process he’s a bad GM. You already traded for Jimmy Butler why would you give up Shamet a near perfect role player for a ball dominant player like Tobias, you need players like shamet to win let alone throwing 1sts into the trade. He than drafts Mikal Bridges a perfect fit but no he trades him to Phoenix for an athlete who can’t shoot in smith. Bridges/Shamet would be perfect next too Embiid/Ben.
Still the wrong choice, but they had an arguable position. Even though we're in the era of the devalued big man and he isn't going to stretch the floor, he's a monster center that can be overpowering in the post, a great passer, and the potential to be a defensive force even if his effort has been questioned.
