No but kork, green and a first for Rubio would be good.

Replace the shooting with who? You took 2 of the better 3P shooters. 

I think Rubio makes sense on this team, BUT his 17 million is better used elsewhere. If giving up Green you need shooting in return. 

Won't trade maxey in a lavine trade...lol what is wrong with some of you. The chance of an unproven rookie being as good as lavine at 25 years young, is highly unlikely.

People always want potential over proven players. 

Cough Bridges trade cough, a Fing disaster of a trade

No one is saying he shouldn't be traded, but won't be. Keep on your narrative that Ben is someone he isn't. 

This record is because of Joel and Harris playing at a higher level. Tobias is a shooting a career best 51% from the field and 43.8% from 3 and Joel is in the top 3 in MVP race right now. 

Hell, Seth is shooting 50% from 3, 50% from the field and 100% from FT. 

Ben's per 36 is really showing us he is stepping up his game.

I'm sure Ben is loving how well Harris and Embiid are playing along with more shooters. Now he can hide even more 

I'd rather have George Hill over Rubio - and it is looking like he is going to be a potential buyout candidate when he comes back from injury.

We have a few rookie's that will step right in and fill the void.

Just that simple?

A rookie in the NBA, who was picked in the 20s or 2nd round usually take a few years to develop especially if they only played 6 months at college.

Joe is the only rookie that can shoot. He is shooting 38% this year, but his sophomore year at Arkansas he was 34% from 3 on 10 attempts. Which is way down from 41% on 8.6 attempts his first year

Who is the other? Knowing Maxey is shooting a BAD 31% from 3 and it's not a fluke because he shot 29% at Kentucky.

Hill can play off ball and facilitate, career 80% from FT, 38% from 3, above 60% from the field, and is a better on ball defender than Rubio. 

But sounds we should trade away the one wing shooter Sixers have for a guy that can pass, like Ben, but can't shot, like Ben.

I'd love to revisit the Hill, Mills, Derrick White ideas that floated around in the offseason.

Milton is doubtful tonight with an ankle sprain. 

Curry has a Sprain too but is available. 

Scott still out.

Should be a bigger Maxey night.

White is out. He signed an extension, 4/73.

I forgot.  What a **** he is for doing that. 

Bens new special lady must live in Portland or something cause he is dominating right now 

Well great start for Ben. Probably his best first quarter of the season. Meanwhile lillard apparently going for 80 tonight at this pace 

Well certainly a lot of scoring. Looks like they really focused on running the offense through Ben tonight for whatever reason. Have to say it’s going well. He’s played amazing. 

Maxey struggling so far

The sixers defense in both of these two games in the first half to start the road trip has been dreadful. 

solid end to the half. I cant stay up for the 2nd but Im calling a win. Defense will eventually clamp down.

Going to need Danny Green or Seth Curry to do something in the second half. Not sure you can just count on Ben Simmons giving you another 15 point half

Love on offense embiid is scoring and doing what he supposed to do. However Enes Kantor Has just owned him on the boards. Kantor 13 boards to embiid’s 4. Had about 6 points off those and blazers another couple baskets. Been huge for portland. 

Honestly F melo. Legitimately every time he plays us he plays like vintage melo
