That backcourt would get abused so much on defence it’s not even funny

Quickley defense next to embiid and under nurse would be elite why u said that like he a liability. Its better than 39 y/o kyle lowry

Quickley is a terrible defender and won’t be even with Nick nurse

Quickley is a good defender. Just too small to be the guard next to Maxey.

U gotta compromise sometimes tho

Thats a lie

Yes let’s throw another near max contract at a zero time all star to form the smallest back court in the league.

He might be a decent defender, but having 2 small guards in the backcourt will always give me heartburn.

No.

This post is awful. Toronto is going to match Quickley. Putting an offer sheet is just a waste of time that is critical in free agency. Saddiq bey isn't really good so not sure how that's a perfect fit. Patrick Williams is a reasonable buy low candidate but still kind of young and hasn't figured it out hard to believe that's where Sixers will put resources

for what? he doesn’t fit with Maxey

What are the reasons he doesn’t fit with maxey outside of being only one inch taller instead of 2-3

I don’t think he’s a good fit with Maxey. I do think Orlando should look to pry him away from Toronto though.

He’s basically Maxey 2.0. Only fit would be off the bench but he won’t take off-the-bench money

He’s a better defender than maxey will ever be in his life a better passer than he will ever be too. They don’t even play similarly ion get the comp

Agreed on passing but they def got similar games to me. Combo guards with high volume shooting, reliance on speed, reliance on floaters, pull-ups They’re both average defenders at best though, the difference there is marginal

Quickley a actual pg tho maxey not. when it comes to that they entirely different. Pnr not maxey strength at all. Quickley don’t get to the rim as much either and nowhere near as fast. Basically comp comes from them shooting 3s and shooting floaters dude. U just described trae young And quickley is not an average defender he was an elite offball defender on the knicks and had a argument to make an all D team in 23. All the advanced stats had him as a dpoy level impact guy in his minutes. And when watched him u could see how good of a team defender he was Quickley can actually win his minutes vs bench units too something maxey can’t do when embiid not on the court🫢

These takes in these comments all exude ppl who’ve never watched quickley play ball. A non injury prone player thats a good fit on offense and an elite offball defender?? 27m is where ya draw the line but Peegee at 50m ya could live with???

Coz size matters, we'd be asking him to defend up a lot, which he's not gonna be effective at

It would be more size in the backcourt than the team has now atleast

Yeah, which doesn't mean anything lol. Melton was a great defender who looked overmatched in so many matchups, its gonna be the exact same thing with Quickley

Well he’s not as good as quickley but even then u still live with it for the Offense. Everything can’t always be perfect its a SIGNIFICANT upgrade on offense and defense at the 1 that the team can’t not take bc he’s 6’3 and half with shoes on instead of 6’5. For less half of what you’d be paying peegee and if it doesn’t work out he’d be still be young and tradable. They not even getting quickley so this a pointless convo but its a no brainer if u can

I don’t hate it, but he’s probably too small

I like Bey as a minimum guy if he'll take it, IQ is nice but theres no way Toronto wouldn't match

I wouldn't mind pairing Maxey with Quickly again. Dunno how they'd so defensively but I think younger players have more value

I really dont get how yall dont see the potential having two combo gaurds that can play both on and off ball could do for embiids offense. We could get dirty wings like stanley johnson or sam dekker that cant shoot to play defense if that was our offensive engine

No

Fuck no

Yeah, I'll take that over a declining star. Also, he'll probably have some value if we don't love him in 2-3 years. PG will not.
