Make your take
In context
SalLook at you, the bundle. You're so stoic. You now don't know if you're even going to attend any games. Raheem has made it clear. It's over.
DabbundoCould be. I actually don't even disagree with DeAndre.
DabbundoI think it's a reasonable case. I'm worried about the backup center.
DabbundoEmbiid is not going to play probably more than 40 games. So what are you going to do with the backup center on those other nights is a real question, and they don't have a great answer for that, at least right now. Maybe at the deadline they will.
DabbundoThey'll make a move that'll put them in a better position. but I think that's the biggest red flag. You know, the usage rate stuff, of course they had high usage rates. Like Jalen Brown had to carry the Celtics last year. They had nobody else who could do that.
DabbundoI'm not as worried about that part of it, especially because Embiid's not going to play 81 games. So there's going to be a lot of nights where Embiid's not even on the floor. And then it's going to be a maxi night and it's going to be a Brown night. It's going to be a LeBron night when he's out there.
DabbundoSo I think they'll be fine. I'm worried about the defense.
