I do not want this kid to be a trade fill in like Shamet.  This was a good scout and pick.  Let's reap the rewards. 

You know he will blow up right after we trade him. This is a blind man knows skills asset. Gotta keep Joe.

Isaiah Joe is a guy I was banging the table for prior to that draft. I was pumped when they got one of my guys. Ill be pissed to see him go seeing how well he is developing. We all credit Maxey's work ethic. Maxey compliments Joe's work ethic. Thats high praise coming from him. 

someone in here earlier suggested cutting Riller to sign Terry. There is now a sixersense article stating the same. Does someone in here write for sixersense?

I am assuming this means Maxey starts at PG, and Furk is the backup PG. 

Exum would really be a nice signing I think.

That dude feels like he was drafted 30 yrs ago lol. Even still it was almost 8 yes ago and he is still only 26.

And a major disappointment overall however has turned in to a decent role player.

I know, I was excited I thought he could be good. I've been looking for the next Penny Hardaway for years lol. 

Bridges got a 4/90M extension from the Suns. Wonder what Zhaire Smith is up to.

Holy crap. Chris Dunn is waived too. We got 2 solid backup PG options out there. Exum or Dunn

Dunn is such a bad shooter Grizzlies couldn't keep him even though a great defender

yeah weird that he shot 35% with the bulls that one year. Exum is likely the better option. Either are good defenders who can get in to an offense and distribute the ball to shooters though. I dont know that we need a great shooter as long as they take a few. This is a temporary option until a ben trade happens and brings a real guard and Maxey takes over the 2nd unit.

Avery Bradley just became available. Good/great defender and can score when needed. Could be a good bench piece.

Full quote:

"We got an opening to our season coming up. Truth be told, that's honestly where our focus is. We're grown men here. This is not middle school, seventh grade, eighth grade, 'Oh, you did this to me, you did this!' Nah, as soon as we step on that floor, it's just basketball and honestly thať's the way it should be. We're here for one thing, that's to be the best team we can be and compete, get better as a group. So all the energy and this or that, the vibe was what it was. Was it perfect? No. But we're here to do a job and that's to win basketball games. So, put our big boy pants on the floor and we get on the floor and do what we do."

I saw the clip where Howard Eskin kept prodding Tobi regarding the specifics of his conversation with Ben.  Why would any reporter think that Tobi would divulge that? 

Quote

[Noah Levick] Per Sixers PR, Ben Simmons will talk with reporters tomorrow.

Quote

[Neubeck] Georges Niang describes his role on this team: "Make sure my guy doesn’t get in Joel’s way.”

 

[Jamie Apody] Although Doc Rivers tells me the "chemistry” with @BenSimmons25 and his teammates is getting better everyday, I can tell you he did NOT put his hand in the team huddle to end practice and stayed in the back before immediately exiting the court while others stay out shooting.

Ben was a full participant in today's practice.  And when some of the players were asked about it, they were short and barely gave any insight.  This season is going to be interesting.

I wonder if the players really care about this stuff. I can see if he said the team sucks as it is currently built and I want out, but that is not what he said. They know this is part of the business and probably just take it in stride

Id love to see him try the Zach Ertz playbook and turn his shorts inside out and die his hair yellow. Maybe itll work?

I like Riller though. Riller and Terry is nicer than Terry and Springer.

Yeah I never liked Terry Springer either.
