the us olympic team has won 4 in a row. heard on nba radio that this is the first time zach lavine's team has won 4 straight since he was in college.    

 

 

I may have missed something because I've been focused on the Olympics but has Embiid had his surgery for the meniscus tear?

No and he's not going to.  He's been working out feeling fine.  Morey said there is no concern with his knee at this point. 

 

A hard elbow to his jugular in his first game against us.  The T will be worth it for Joel.

He is such a spoiled little bleep. Embiid has flaws, but the guy grew up and works his butt off. He also came from nothing unlike Simmons who has been pampered and told how great he is through his life.

Look no further than Giannis.....dude and his brother were homeless selling CD's on the street.  He came into the NBA with zero ability to hit a jump shot or a free throw.  Now he is 2x MVP and NBA Champion.....Ben?  Well I guess he's busy f'ing Kardashians.......and if the crowd counted to Ben like they do to Giannis when he shoots free throws, Ben would wet himself and cry.

He can go and not shoot threes somewhere else.

3's?  Hell I'd be happy with 10 footers and free throws!  ****!!

I’m betting he’s really not going to enjoy Sacramento. 

 

I wouldn't be laughing that he is pissing and moaning. If he is being disgruntled and making demands other teams know they can get him for even less now sixers can't turn back they have to move him now. Being a disgruntled **** lowers his value. 

Of the four Cali teams I feel like Sacramento has the most realistically available assets that I would want. 

 

 

The only redeeming thing of Sacramento as a city was that I knew I was getting closer to Tahoe on my way from San Francisco.....send him there!

agreed....and it's not close. 

lakers have nothing. clippers only have paul george but it's doubtful they'd move him. gsw only have wiggins. 

enjoy sacramento, ben!

I almost want them to just bring him back just so he has to go into that locker room and talk to all of them.

It would never happen ever but I’d love if the sixers told him you are gonna play and if you don’t shoot we are just going to bench you. And you can watch from the bench until you do. We have 4 years left on that contract. So either you are going to really learn to love riding bench wasting your career like you wasted the past couple seasons here by not shooting or you can grow the F up and start shooting like you should’ve started doing already. 

We resigned Danny Green?   I just heard this on Missanelli's update.  I thought Green was a goner.

Watch the one and done documentary about him. He's an entitled d bag. The whole time he was at LSU he complained about having to go to class, said he was already a "professional" He hasn't acted like a professional in the least bit since he got here. 

It's almost laughable that Ben could actually be better than Giannis......same size, Ben can actually handle the ball better....neither came into the NBA being able to shoot yet look at the drive and determination.....one is absolutely afraid of failing, one has NO FEAR of failing and it shows in their play and the results of their play.

I think he asked for too much and the money dried up elsewhere.

I question if he can handle the ball better. His handle is a crossover and if that doesn't work he panics. Every aspect of his game has stalled. 

If we go back and watch his LSU tape it was the same. A reason those fans hated him, he was lazy back then and would take games off. 

He just is a lost cause and who cares if he becomes something.

some analytics nerd put out a value chart or something like that listing how much players were worth & danny came in at around $20mill per year. danny's agent must have seen that....but was quickly brought back to reality when the offers were coming in for much less. 

 

We will look back and say he was the dude of the last 20 to 30 years that had the chance to be an all time great. Talking top 7 to 10 all time and he just didn't give a F.

Yup. I feel like he’s going to realize he wasted his career after his career is over. He might wind up on a championship team but he’s never going to be the guy everyone thought cause he really doesn’t care enough. A shame he doesn’t have  Tj McConnell’s heart and love for the game cause This whole situation is avoided if he did.
