I think Doc should put him in the starting lineup and move Green to the bench. 6'5" with a 6'10" wingspan so has the length and as Joel said they need to shoot more 3s. We have seen a lot of rookies similar to Joe get minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing for Korkmaz over Joe. Not even a little. Just Doc prefers playing vets and always has. I remember that being a gripe of some fans at his other stops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Looks like Ilyasova signing with the Jazz. That was one vet min type guy many 6ers fans were interested in adding. Hopefully our sights are set higher, on Nance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but teams are doubling Embiid right away and make the others beat them. With his assist to turnover ratio still high it is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is a flip of the coin and Simmons sucks in half court. Why I keep saying trade that guy ASAP, but they will keep him, probably make minimal moves, and get bounced in the 2nd round again...unless they make the big move they need to make. Doesn't mean trading him per say, but they need a big move or they are a fugazzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you ask the Blazers about Lillard but get laughed at. The Rockets owner vetoing the trade for Harden put Morey in a bind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough rumors are floating with the Bulls something could get done. Lillard isn't an option, but there are enough out there to get something done. Point remains if they don't make a big move they aren't going any place unless Simmons is pulling a Rocky II and will suddenly switch and start raining down 3s in the playoffs. Outside of that he will play defense, which won't matter a damn once Embiid gets shut down, Harris gets cold, and the bench has nothing to give. Unless they get another piece they will never win with Simmons the way he plays. It just doesn't translate in the playoffs and they don't have snipers like the Jazz to rain down consistent 3s. If they can do that and keep him fine. If moving him is the only way then they need to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEagles4Life Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 They need Ben to shot even a bit and be aggressive getting to the hoop and need more shooters to spread the floor. I think they may have run into a juggernaut in the Nets this year if they get Drummond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you go 3 all stars (arguably second best player on the planet in KD) and then have Drummond, Blake and Harris after them. The sixers don’t have a better big 3 and then I’d argue out of the top 6 players Kd, harden, Irving, embiid, Simmons and Harris the next 3 best players are all nets. They’d have to get Lavine and still add two guys with the trade exception and buyout market and might still not be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaEagles4Life Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I like Wright as a back up guard on a good contract next year is 9.5 million as well. Still need need a wing and a stretch four in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddening. Doc needs to pull him aside and show him some of Kork's stats. He'll chuck 12 up and make 3 some nights it seems. Keep Kork on the bench and tell Ben to chuck them up instead.
