To reliably compete for a championship, you need one generational talent…Embiid is borderline on that front.

Then you need a second star that you earned…either by drafting yourself or by trading smartly accumulated assets.  Don’t have that.

Then you need a freebie star 3 who joined the party to cherry pick on the title fun.  Don’t have that.  

They had #3 with Jimmy Butler but let him go.

Are you trying to make things up to look better in an argument? I seem to remember Kawhi winning an NBA finals. He has 2 titles. So you are wrong again. 

My points are solid, you got the dope take of Embiid not being worthy of the max as a top 5 to 8 player in the league right now.

You can't replace his talent in a trade no matter who you get back and Sixers would be worse off the next 5 to 8 years without him. Embiid makes any team legit title contenders when he is on the team.

Yeah... everyone used to say you can't replace Simmons value in a trade too.

You know when Joel's value matters? In the playoffs.  So when he's not healthy for us then,  his value is 0.

Shaq barely watches basketball and his shows when he talks on TNT. 

Are a handful of teams that have no good young talent or fit the style of Ben's play and should absolutely take the risk because of his upside.

Not everyone is as stupid as the sixers and want to take that risk. 

You don't need to watch basketball regularly to know that Ben is a lazy ass that refuses to get any better at anyone else's pace but his own.

But again are teams willing to take the risk on him because of lack of talent on current team and/or fit for team. 

Have said it for years, Ben doesn't work with Embiid because they both need the paint to operate. Are absolutely teams in the league that Ben would make better tomorrow. 

Imagine if we would have traded Simmons for Kawhi in 2018

No Drummond tonight 

I missed the start. Who started at PG with Shak back? 

 

shak isn't back yet...neither is shake.

these idiots on TV definitely said no Drummond tonight due to his ankle sprain, but Shake returns from his ankle injury.

I dont think so.

But we blew a game against the Nets who lost to the Hornets tonight. Thats sad for the 6ers and the Nets.

I would trade Simmons for Giddey. Think OKC will go for it? Probably not.

How do you score 23 in the 1st and then have nothing the rest of the game?

Every single player on this team is like that.

Danny Green started hot and scored nothing.

Embiid did the same thing last game. He never scored a point in the 4th. Im not sure if he scored in the whole 2nd half.

Harris does it all the time. 

Its literally every player.

Amazing that a guy gets hot and then the ball just never finds him again.

That was Fing stupid, Joel....

 

Watched some Kings and Davion Mitchell might be a better playmaker than everyone thought. Might make Fox or Haliburton available.
