Tobias is 26 and a very solid starter. He'll get overpaid but Philly still has first round picks. This was a smart gamble by Brand.
He essentially took the weaknesses of Simmons and covered them with Tobias who's a much better 3 point shooter and ISO Post scorer.
Switching is easy between Butler, Simmons, and Tobias so it masks JJ reddick or Connell out there.
Their problems with Boston are mental. Similar to how Boston mentally crumbles with Lebron teams.

Prediction: if they don't the Knicks will.

This. We had the game won last night and gave it away. Joel tried to get the refs to bail him out.

Everytime a player has a less than perfect game some people are up in arms. it happens, they are human. Tobi is a great player and the Sixers are going to the finals

It will be interesting with Butler and Tobias both being free agents this off-season.
I'd feel more confident giving Tobias $20-22 mil a season than giving Butler the max.

Based on the fact that they have the strongest team.

PeroAntic said it. They will probably not even make the playoffs now.

The Sixers have a better starting 5 but they fall off a cliff when they go to their bench. Who are their key reserves anyway? Boban, McConnell, and the other Simmons? :lol
This is gonna be a problem for them. Not just against the Celtics but against the Bucks and Raptors as well.
And dont give me that "in the playoffs, depth doesn't matter" bs. Uhm yes, it does.

They have the two biggest young talents but Giannis, Leonard, and Irving aren't that old...and the Celtics have been beating them without Irving. Of the four top EC teams Philly is worst at closing games offensively and the bench is poor.

He's like the Lou Williams of forwards.
Will fill up the stat sheet but aint gonna give you the impact you needed. Teams aint afraid of him. Lou is clutch though.

The fear we Tobias is you give him a huge contract and he settles. Clippers traded him because they are trying to lure super free agents to their team.
If you give him Otto Porter money, he's still a better player.
Embiid stays right and Simmons improves and everyone on that team gets better.
He's like the Lou Williams of forwards.

I mean when you think of a 3rd or 4th option does Tobias not fit the bill? He

They have to now...it would be a disaster to give all of that up for him to walk.
I like Harris a lot, but I wonder if the Sixers should have paid a far cheaper price for Porter. They could have gotten him for matching salary and their first round pick this year and kept the Miami pick.
He's not as good offensively as Harris though....and that might matter a lot because Harris can create his own offense in a way Porter can't.
However, Porter is a better defender, similar spot up 3 point shooter...and probably even or slightly better passer....and while Porter is overpaid, he's expiring in 2 years and wouldn't demand the salary/years Harris will unless he takes a discount.

You can say what you want about Steven's having Simmons number or Horfords ability to defend Embiid.
But the Celtics still don't have an answer for TJ. The guy keeps overachieving.

Giannis is younger and better than Embiid.

I sit corrected.

If he improves his defense, then he would be worth the max imo.

The real mistake is letting Ben Simmons be the point guard. I like the guy, he's a good player, but he's not a good point guard, and it's not just because of the shooting.

He's nothing like Lou Williams. Lou Williams is an explosive clutch scorer who does little else. Tobias does a little bit of everything at a moderate to high level and has no big holes in his game.

If a player never has a bad game he will be among the GOATs. Nobody said that about Harris. Still a great player but should have been more assertive tonight. Onto the next one.

Rough game, but Harris isn't really the problem with this team...
If you are trying to contend and you are also playing Mike Scott 32 minutes...and don't have shooting or the guard play you need...
I'm not sure what you are doing.
