Wouldn't be surprised if he isn't for much longer, especially with Furkan coming over this summer.

So does jj start for the 76ers?

...Yes

Who else is playing SG for that team? Timothe Luwauwu ?

It's gonna line up like
PG: Fultz
SG: Red dick
SF: Covington
PF: Simmons
C: Embiid

The back half of the roster is up in the air because of free agency, but Richaun holmes will be the backup 4 as 5 to make up for Okafor, who will be their scorer off the bench but play with the starters plenty, Bayless will probably split around, Luwauwu and Stauskas will get minutes somewhere

All we need now is for a new Covington deal to get done, preferably heavily front-loaded, and this will be a perfect offseason.

Reddick can really shoot and do nothing else, Stauskas can shoot a little and handle a little and be an emergency PG. Their games aren't very similar.

If Redick starts, I guess that means Saric comes off the bench? I'd like to think that Fultz will start from day 1.

Lou Williams can take JJ's minutes and production for the Clippers. Obviously he isn't as good as JJ at shooting but hes not bad at all and can do a few other things

Yeah that was probably always going to be the case.

Saric and Simmons shouldn't be on the floor together for too many minutes, unless Ben got quicker and can defend better than I think he's going to

e: I'm very interested in what this means for Stauskas and Bayless. You have Reddick coming over for a year, and then Korkmaz, and TLC can also play minutes at the 2 and are probably more in the long term plans

The starting lineup will most likely be
Fultz
Redick
RoCo
Simmons
Embiid

with Saric putting in 25-30 mpg as the sixth man.

They probably have to make some decisions with the roster with regard to Stauskas and Anderson and whether or not Bolden comes over this year.

The 76ers core is very exciting hopefully they can stay healthy. I don't see how that isn't a playoff team with all the quality additions.

Additionally who is TLC? I have no idea and none of the players on the Sixers are good enough to have earned nicknames yet so I'm extra confused.

25th pick last year - Timothe Luwawu Cabarot

Was projected to play in the G league and surprised everyone by making the roster and actually looking decent as a marginal 3&D wing by the end of the season

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I'm phone posting, but I just saw on Rotoworld that the Pacers are vying for George Hill. Yeah that might have been nice before we burned the bridge with PG. A Teague/Hill/PG/T. Young/Turner starting lineup with Lance as 6th man would have been fun. Expensive, but fun.

I would say Pacers, but it looks like Simon is telling Pritchard to try his damnedest to put together an 8 seed.

Mario Hezonja is going to blow up this year, he'll become Tracy McGrady with aggression and a 40% outside stroke, game breaking talent, dunk people to death. Aaron Gordon will translate his dunk powers and become Shawn Kemp with better dietary and sexual habits. Here they come y'all can't be stopped
