Have to say, for all the pics he posts of his greased arms with veins bulging every offseason, hes gotten extremely unimpressive results after 5 years of training in the NBA. No pecs. barely has abs. Seems to have little love handles... Look by his right hip he has an hourglass figure. wtf? Maybe he has been in better shape other years. But at least this year it doesnt look like hes even doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion Giannis got too big especially in the shoulders and he lost shoulder mobility aka why he can't shoot FTs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not only has he lacked dedication to improving his basketball skills. He has usually at least seemed to stay in great shape. Now, that looks questionable as well.

hukdonfoniks Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Just milk a little bit more out of Sacramento and get it over with. It can't possibly get any better for us the longer this goes on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before, the only good thing about Sacramento is that when I saw it, I knew that I was half way on my drive from San Francisco to Tahoe....other than that, it is a city in the middle of no where. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm officially at the "F this dude" part of this saga. I don't know what to say about elite level guys who want to continue playing for **** franchises without a shot at winning at title. If that's what you want out of your career, good riddance. Obviously we have our own pile of issues over here, but we also have an Embiid. If you're too scared to burn bridges with your home grown team who is going nowhere fast, stay there and rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox makes his money with his speed and ability to finish in traffic around the hoop. That description of Fox sounds a lot like Maxey. I say we keep Maxey and get Buddy + Haliburton + Haliburton's girlfriend or Buddy+ Bagley + two 1sts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be a professional, show up, work hard, and Sixers will trade him. Problem is this isn't Houston where fans don't care in the situation with Harden. This is Philly where fans have had months of rage and energy to boo his **** ass the second they see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 At this point, Simmons absolutely cannot be on this roster when the season begins. He’s going to be booed mercilessly by the home crowd, and it’s isn’t going to be a good look for the organization. Just cut your losses and take whatever you can get for him and be done with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so stupid. Every day that goes by you lose leverage. If he loses the support of the fans and refuses to play or plays poorly he'll have almost no value.
