36ers to sign Shelvin Mack.

Any more legs to this rumour or is it deader than bat soup?

Yeah if they’re really serious, they probably need an import wing. I wonder if they think highly of McVeigh and Dech and are willing to throw them in the deep end though? If one or both stands up under pressure, then they know they’ve got a building block(s) for the future. Conversely, if one struggles, they can bring in a mid season import to get more production at that position.

A recommendation from Coach Flynn (haha) is no glowing endorsement. A lot of SA cigar smokers in here.

I feel one import isn’t enough quality to cover PG-SF given the other guards/small forwards on the team. Putting that into a spot as backup PF doesn’t seem like the best way to approach it

wasnt there a story about Kyei training at the 3

I don't really understand why they'd want Kyei to leave?

That would have them at 3 bigs.... Is there a better "Backup PF" out there?

The weakness they have is at PG/SG/SF, that's where they should focus on two imports.

Admittedly, Daniel Dillon is an inconvenience in the whole situation unless Mudronja can be a DP again

"Do think Dillon needs to be let go and they need a cheapy import SF..."

36ers would have to pay out the last year of his contract. That would make the "cheapy import" poor value for money. i.e., it'd be like keeping Ramone Moore and paying him double what he got last year.

Shelvin Mack and Sunday Dech will be one physically strong, bully-ball backcourt for Adelaide. He's not Jerome Randle scorer though.

I like the Idea he can play the 1 and 2. At times I hope Giddey should be given the reigns, let him use his Ben Simmons level passing skills. Mack score first I reckon at the 2. Dech can play the 2/3, McVeigh could even play as a stretch 4 at times with Humphries at Center.

The roster looks strong in terms of dynamism. They can go wjth a few different lineups and have players that can play multiple positions.

Do think Dillon needs to be let go and they need a cheapy import SF...

Cue argument about whether he's a PG or a combo,
and claims that he will start on the bench behind Giddey.

8 seasons in the NBA? He is 30 and wasnt drafted until he was 21/22 years old.

But this would be a very interesting signing for the sixers.
