He's active and he can shoot. It's good to see what this team will look like with a stretch 5

Welcome MM. Hope you can drain 3's for us. Maybe teach Luke that offense you learned in the ATL.

On another note, anyone remember comments from his crazy dad? As if the Lakers needed another one...

The FO can save some time here with this:

"Mike Muscala joins our program at a fantastic stage of his career," head coach and interim GM Brett Brown said in a statement. "He has enjoyed some NBA success and his upside in the future is extremely bright."

"some". Even Brett didn't believe the rest of what he was saying. Didn't even last a season. His career best 3 season, 1.6 at .418, so .7 a game, less than a single three. And his superior FT shooting, on less than 2 attempts a game. Jebus, at that rate, he can shoot 100% from the line. Way too many folks are on that volcanic planet on the outer rim with Anakin if you think that anyone is going allow more space to the hole by guarding that lunkhead out at the 3 point line. Everyone else on the floor is going to be rather more dangerous than even an unguarded him at the 3 line.

Some were speaking to building a team with no shooters. They also built a team without a backup PF. Now they've got this lunkhead.

This thread is already taking over for this:

Muscala’s outside shooting will be a great addition to the second unit, and pairing him with Wilson Chandler, T.J. McConnell, and likely Markelle Fultz could do wonders for his game. Overall, the ability of the newest Sixers big man to stretch the floor fits perfectly, and it’s easy to envision him having a strong season with his new team.

How did that go? Now some are penciling him into the starting lineup. Jebus. Wept.

And relying on VORP are we? No, you don't want to go there:

-3.1, -0.4

Say hi to Brandon for me. And so one wonders why NO basically ignored MajRob.

Lastly, re those Philly fans who are going to miss the chicken running around with his head cutoff:

A whatever trade. How the heck did we give up Zubac and Beasley for this guy? For a supposed knock down shooter he sure does not seem to make a lot of shots. 39% overall and 34% from three and the third year in a row his shooting numbers have regressed. Not a fan of the trade.

Since this is a welcome thread I'll be civil enough to say - welcome aboard MM. Hope you find a role here and play it well.


I'll say what I think about losing Zubac in the Zubac thread.

39% from the field and a 34% three point shooter?

So what you're telling me is that there was no point in trading for him when we already had Wagner whom can do that while he's developing

This is a crap move, engineered just to get rid of an RFA that was playing well. That's all.

Rational thinking is being skeptical of a 39% from the field 34% from the three point line center and moving Zubac and Beasley for that center.

Calling it out, doesn't mean you aren't thinking rationally. Acting like there's nothing wrong and blindly accepting it cause its your team would be though.

This post is just one of many. I wish you could have one shred of optimism. Things aren’t ideal but it’s not as bleak as you paint it either.

His efg% is more than 50% though. 39% overall because most of his shots are from 3.

For a sixth year player it makes more sense to look at career numbers than just one half of one season. Muscala has a career 0.47 FG% and 0.365 3P% and 0.84 FT%.

RPM is decent, 16th among centers in the league, ahead of Aldridge, Turner, WCS, Boogie, Drummond, Randle, Capela, Ibaka and all our centers

He'll be useful
