[Hoops Reference] The Heat were 11.9 points worse when Dedmon was on the court The Sixers are 3.4 points worse with Harrell on the court Now the two worst backup centers in the entire NBA are teammates on a Doc Rivers-led squad.

Are we sure that Morey and Doc don’t secretly have a fetish for washed centers
After watching the Eagles lose like that last night, now I gotta see this before I have my coffee. The mid level move of all mid level moves. Philly fans can’t have any peace huh š
How much worse are the Sixers with Bball Paul on the court?
Answer: 18.8 points worse per 100.
Funny how that wasn’t brought up.
Bring back DJ to complete the circle
Heat fan here, Dedmon literally lost his minutes to a rookie undrafted G-League project.
boutta jump off the walt whitman
edit: damn now reddit thinks im gonna off myself, look at what you did daryl
Weāre fucked
The Morey/Rivers partnership āeraā of Sixers basketball sucks lol
This is a catastrophically bad signing, and the only copium I can huff here is that Dedmon historically offers *some* semblance of spacing as a 5. Maybe he’ll somehow resurrect himself coming back to where it all began, but damn.
Iām gonna say āthis canāt get any worseā just to see what other shit Philly sports can do to me in this span of 24 hours
in the playoffs, i would simply play embiid 38 minutes a night, have tucker play in a small ball 5 role for 6 mins, and then in the other 4 mins just have reed go out and hack the shit out of the other team’s worst free throw shooter on the court at the time.
Come on guys, negative plus negative isā¦ Negative. Fuck.
All of the buyout market centers have bad net ratings, imagine that. You don’t want Harrell playing in the playoffs, so if that eliminates that, it’s not the end of the world.
Harrell’s net rating isn’t as bad because that all-bench lineup with Niang actually has a positive net rating (with 375minutes played). Something tells me that lineup won’t be good against playoff competition. Niang & Harrell haven’t proven they can play well in the playoffs and they’ll get destroyed on the boards/defense.
Fuck man.
Doc gonna play Maxey-House-Trez-Reed-Dedmond together at this rate.
Can someone play devils advocate? I donāt see the logic behind this move whatsoever
Daryl we just lost the fucking Super Bowl read the fucking room.
u/dmorey is supposedly an analytics guys right? Committing malpractice.
Electric ā”ļø
END MEEEEE
Morey was drunk and depressed at 2am when he made this decision, itās the only way this makes sense
I want accountability from this front office. Come out and say exactly why they made this move and why they believe it is successful. There is just no shot that Morey truly believes that Dedmon is the answer.
I still will find someway to blame Doc for this signing and hate him for it.
I keep saying it and ya’ll don’t listen. Morey is over rated.
That or he’s here to fuck over the organization that screwed his protĆ©gĆ© Hinkie over.
Just an unthinkable signingā¦ we gave up Isaiah Joe for nothing for this. Sixers are an unserious organization.
Duncan Robinson and Tyler both miss out on minutes because they are miserable on defense I can’t imagine all of that is on him.
The fact the 6ers are only 3 points worse with Harrell on the court suggest Harrell is *awesome*. He plays 0 minutes with Embiid who’s on/off numbers are 11 points different per 100. The sixers are +1.4 with Harrell on the court, which means they are +1.4 without Embiid.
In what universe would you expect the 6ers to be better with Harrell on the court than Embiid? You wouldn’t expect someone who never gets to play next to Steph Curry to have a positive on/off.
They suck, but there are definitely centers worse than them in the NBA.
