but do you think they move the same?

I think Exum looks quicker. Lets not forgot he's playing against Australian white guys and MCW is playing against the best in the world.

4-0 Phils. Can't say I haven't been discouraged, but this division is wide open.

I know the Bucks really like Antetokounmpa (if I spelled that right, I should win something), but I'm not sure he's a PG.

I guess they would consider Exum. I would be surprised if they took him though. Maybe Wiggins will throw a temper tantrum and make it clear he doesn't want to be in Milwaukee.

They have a -28 run differential and the Nats have a +39, yet the Phillies are only 5 games back. Possibly 4 after tonight. Unreal.

A's have a +132 run differential. The next best is +47. The level of baseball intelligence between Billy Beane and RAJ must be too large to quantify

Pretty much. Whats the point in drafting a guy who will likely leave after 4 years.

I would do everything possible to move up. I'm not sure what I'd do, if I couldn't.

My choice would be either Embiid or Exum.

It appears Wiggens really wants to be in Philly, but we'll see.

If you had the option of Cleveland, Milwaukee or Philly, where would you want to be?

Cavs have to be disappointed. A healthy Embiid may have enticed Irving to stay.

Yep. Add in a Rich owner, Young Core and tons of cap space and it's a great destination.

I think we should really do up the Gayborhood in Philly and try to bring him aboard as the Phillies GM. David Montgomery should write him a blank check

Actually, there are two former major leaguers with similar names.

Billy Beane is a former journeyman outfielder and GM of the Oakland A's.

Billy Bean is a former journeyman outfielder who is gay and is now a real estate agent.

To be fair, I thought it was the same guy, too. I was wondering how an openly gay man could be GM of a baseball team and it wouldn't have been huge news. Then I heard of the other guy.

Ducks are walking away from Koivu, Winnik and Hillier. I culd have some interest in Winnik at the right price. Pretty effective bottom six guy, coming off a bit of a down season for the Ducks.
