Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
There are reports out that two weeks ago the Cavs tried to trade for TJ and the Sixers turned them down.
Our boy has truly made it.
Our boy has truly made it.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
I heard that too. A) I'm glad because I can't stand the Cavs and b) the sixers must see him as part of the bright future they are building.
He may become a backup if Philly ends up w one of those top 4 PGs but , at the very least, he has cemented himself as an NBA rotation guy.
I personally think he ends up a starter somewhere at some point.

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
It's nice to see other teams recognizing the value he brings. The Cavs would be a great situation for him, where he is a backup on a really good team.Chicat wrote:There are reports out that two weeks ago the Cavs tried to trade for TJ and the Sixers turned them down.

The Sixers can get there too, but the Cavs are already there.
Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
Makes me wonder what they offered and if the Sixers told TJ and let him choose? Probably not...

The Sixers want young talent. The Cavs don't have any of that except for Kyrie or Love.Chicat wrote:I'm guessing the Cavs didn't offer much.Jefe wrote:Makes me wonder what they offered and if the Sixers told TJ and let him choose? Probably not...
I'd guess a second rounder, maybe Felder included.

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
Yeah, I see why the Sixers turned that down. McRae...well, you can get him in the second round of the upcoming draft.Chicat wrote:Same age as TJ. SG out of Tennessee.

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
Wow, what a joke. TJ is the best deal in the NBA
Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
yeah, it was like the cavs asking for pacific ave to complete their monopoly and offering the sixers baltic ave, water works, and a get out of jail free card

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
The thing about TJ too is that he was (and is) always fun to watch because he's hustling and getting the most out of his other teammates. The team just worked better. He's actually one of the more entertaining players in all the NBA. I'm not saying he's the most talented, I'm just saying he's a lot of fun, and all the Philly fans chanting MVP are taking a liking to watching his game. It's not just boring 1 on 1, or pass around the perimeter and shoot 30 3s a game that can be the bane of the NBA at times.
I'm a Bulls fan, and would trade Rondo or an over the hill Wade for TJ in a heartbeat.
And Jordan McCrae for TJ? That's the most laughable trade offer ever. Cavs GM had to at least try, the Sixers front office used to be absolutely atrocious in the recent past and probably would have entertained such an offer due to McCrae "upside".

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
We all know the guy is an idiot, but for someone who pretends to be such a historian, he should know that the Thunder draft Durant, Westbrook, and Harden in consecutive years with top 4 picks.even though literally no team has ever won by tanking- among other things, to rebuild
Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
Double digit assists in 5 of the last 6 games. Sixers are 3-3 unfortunately.

Snubbed from The futures game. When you see some of the guys on the USA roster you are gonna die (cough Exum, Marquese Chriss, Kaminsky and his 39 % field goal percentage).

Ran away from his teammates and off the court. Terrible teammate. Real PGs on the street courts of Philly embrace their teammates and deliver only the crispest of passes.

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
It was such a terrible shot that it needed the rim to go in. He ignored 7 open teammates to take that shot. Did you notice how he left his man to go steal the ball in the end?

Re: TJ McConnell's 'MAGIC' Numbers
The Sixers beat the Heat tonight and TJ had 11 points and 10 assists. He also had 4 rebounds, 2 steals and only one turnover. Of course TJ's hater is continuing to hate.

He even sounds like Miller. He'd make a great assistant coach for Arizona as a start to his coaching career.
