C's have no dependable bench. We ain't depending on Sam Hauser to save them. Baylor, Hugo, Walsh, and Luka are still young and question marks all around. I have no idea what Mike Conley can produce at this point. As for starting core- Pritchard can only do so much. White's offensive production keeps dwindling each season.

And with LeBron to 76ers, the 76ers are the better team than BOS.

I think the bench is the least of their problems. The Sixers Knicks or Heat also do not have an incredible bench. It is why I think the Cs will be fine in the regular season again just like last year.

Come playoff time the starters matter a lot more and that is where the talent gap becomes apparent. I think the Sixers and Knicks are more talented in their starting lineup.

Philly's bench looks pretty good at least offensively. Simons, Wade, kid from Bama, Bona, KCP

I have no idea what Mike Conley can produce at this point.

Nothing. He is kaput. Finished. Worthless.

He is a safe pair of hands. Nothing more.

He is a below average defender. A non-rebounder. He provides no dribble penetration anymore because he is too old and slow. He provides no playmaking anymore. He can't create his own shot. He can't get to the rim. He struggles to shoot off the dribble. His stand still spot up 3 point shooting is below average.

He is useless.

The only thing he can do is bring the ball up the floor and avoid turnovers. That is it. He can't do anything else. His body is gone. He is finished. He is not an NBA level player anymore. He shouldn't even be in the league.

You might want to check his offensive production below (not dwindling as you say) since he joined the Cs.  Yes his shooting % dropped last season but that's about it....Oh, let's not forget he was 1st team all defense....

21/22 - 11.0 pts/g  3.5 assists
22/23 - 12.4 pts/g  3.9 assists
23/24 - 15.2 pts/g  5.2 assists
24/25 - 16.4 pts/g  4.8 assists
25/26 - 16.5 pts/g  5.4 assists

Hmm does it? Besides Simons I would disagree. Bona is not very good. Who knows if the rookie can contribute. Wade put up like 5ppg as a starter last year and is more of a defensive player. KCP has really been falling off a cliff lately. So it is basically Simons but I think come playoff time he will hurt them a lot defensively. But again the starters on that team will carry them come playoff time and that is what I think matters most.
