Paul Reed on Anthony Davis: He's a big flopper
Sixers big man Paul Reed, who figures to get a look at Anthony Davis when he does get on the floor to back up Joel Embiid, discussed the keys to defending Davis on the floor. He went right to Davis’ penchant for selling calls at times on the floor. “He’s a big flopper so make sure I don’t get in foul trouble early by any—I can’t be too aggressive with him,” said Reed at shootaround on Monday. “He’s gonna be flailing so I gotta make sure I stay out of foul trouble.”

Monday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast! Anthony Davis dominated Sat. in Cleveland. Can he maintain that level tonight vs. Joel Embiid? Plus, will there be minutes for a thriving Max Christie when guys return from injury? @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

StatMuse: Most stocks this season: 67 — Victor Wembanyama 66 — Brook Lopez 64 — Anthony Davis Wemby is the only player with 20+ steals and 25+ blocks this season. He has 45 blocks. pic.twitter.com/xaOHg6u2Fg -via Twitter @statmuse / November 27, 2023
Keith Pompey: Sixers guard Jaden Springer (illness) and forward Danuel House Jr. (left quad bruise) are listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Wells Fargo Center. Meanwhile, L.A’s Anthony Davis (left adductor hip spasm) is probable. LeBron James (left calf bruise) and Cam Reddish (left groin strain) are questionable. Jarred Vanderbilt (left heel bursitis) and Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) will miss the game. -via Twitter @PompeyOnSixers / November 26, 2023
Jovan Buha: Lakers’ injury report remains the same vs. Philadelphia: — Anthony Davis is probable. — LeBron James and Cam Reddish are questionable. — Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent are out. -via Twitter @jovanbuha / November 26, 2023
Defense and working around the basket are what will get Reed more consistent playing time. While the Sixers would like him to shoot more 3s, it isn’t a priority. Philadelphia wants him to focus on what he does best. “It’s been like that all season for me,” Reed added. “Since the first game, I’ve just been locked in on just doing whatever the team needs me to do, and I understand defense is one of my strengths so I kinda rely on that to get my game going.” -via Sixers Wire / November 16, 2023
As an example, Anunoby’s first-year maximum salary is projected at $42.8 million based on a five percent salary cap projected increase. The Sixers could offer him just shy of that amount while keeping Joel Embiid, Paul Reed, Jaden Springer, their 2024 first-round pick, and the cap holds of Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, and Kenyon Martin Jr. They could then utilize the $8.1 million room mid-level and re-sign Maxey, Melton, and Martin Jr., or sign-and-trade a combination of them for higher paid players. -via HoopsHype / November 10, 2023
As for Harden, this is what he wanted. The Clippers were always his preferred destination and Paul Reed, who thought of Harden as something of a big brother for him, gave his thoughts on the deal. “It was kinda crazy, but I’m happy for him,” said Reed. “It’s something that he wanted, apparently. So I’m just happy he got somewhere he wanted to be at.” -via Sixers Wire / November 2, 2023
