So the JJ Redikk talk is real? I was thinking he could lo key fit. And there goes a "veteran" everyone else keeps screaming we need.

Bet they take on a bunch of expirings to meet the floor
JJ wouldn't be a big splash. 2-3 year deal at 18-20 million per year.
Embiid was hanging out with JJ at Steve Nash's annual charity soccer event in Brooklyn earlier this week.

Ben at the 4 with Jo at the 5 is honestly gonna be the match up nightmare for teams. That 4-5 PnR is gonna cause a bunch of problems because Joel can pop, slip or roll.
That is where Ben belongs long term, it's where his lack of a jumper causes the least amount of damage because it pulls one of the opposing bigs out to guard him away from the hoop.

This is what I have been looking forward to since last year. Ben and Jojo running the PnR with fultz at the one and reliable shooters should be unstoppable. It's why I asked if everything plays out, can we be on the Warriors level. Because I don't think any team can truly stop the Warriors from scoring. But just like how we can't stop curry and Durant PnR, they wouldn't be able to stop ours.
Next couple of seasons should be epic in the NBA

Fultz
TLC or FA
Covington
Simmons
Embiid
Is my expected starting lineup. It's the most well balanced with 3 + defenders covering for what's likely to be 2 negatives on that side of the ball. Offensively TLC and Covington should fill the low usage role...the rest of the 3 I have no idea how it plays out. I think Embiid sacrifices a bit of his post touches but it kind of balances out with more roll attempts in the PnR.

I don't know why people want Saric to start. He's an ideal 6th man.
It's better for roster and lineup balance too

Even without a healthy Biid, I think y'all make the playoffs if dudes like Luwawu and Covington are respectable from 3.
