HOW???? 

Morey is foolish for not doing the Russel trade when he had the chance

People say Russell makes boneheaded decisions at end of games, but I feel like he is always clutch in these situations against the 6ers dating all the way back to summer league

WOW!!! DRUMMOND!

Probably the best vet minimum contract signing in a very long time.

Naz Reid, McDaniels and Vanderbilt all have 5 fouls.

He has been sucking lately and I felt like even if he had the chance, he was going to miss the tip in. 

but, he didnt. 

Thybulle.... stupid....

and again...

We are in double OT and Embiid has 35 while no other player has hit 20 yet, and Thbulle started and still hasnt hit 10. Everyone has been horrible tonight except for Embiid. 

Embiid has caught fire.

And then pisses on himself to put it out

yeah. what a trash possession. whats he thinking trying to go 1 on 1 above the 3pt line with a center more athletic than him. And hes just holding the ball. Like...go. Do somethign. Just turns it over....

Maxey uncharacteristically with 4 turnovers tonight, and that was a bad one. Of course, everyone feels like they just need to defer to Embiid. Maxey had Russell, who isnt a good defender, and then had Reid switched on to him. He should have been able to go to the rim for an easy 2. Instead tried to wrap a pass around Reid and it got taken away. 

Fing Embiid.... giveth and taketh away. 

When will this team ever learn to get him the ball in the post. He cant play out there. 

That was the worst 42 point game in NBA history 

Need a lead guard. 

Goran Dragic is wasting away on the Raptors but his salary is 19.4 million. 

Should have just signed and traded for Lowry with Simmons involved 

They need a killer on the perimeter.. It’s been the missing piece since Butler left. They could have had one in Russell. This is just getting ridiculous at this point. Sitting on Simmons seems like "the process lite”.

This team blows.

Morey isnt getting enough heat for this. He is costing a lot of wins, and is apparently willing to do it for 2 years. Everyone is quiet.

I think it's more like when the league forced Harris to fire Hinkie and bring in Colangelo. 

The League/Owners are obviously encouraging the Sixers to hold the line in this

imo, theres no reason to take it any further. Theyve won. They didnt trade him when he requested. He held out. They didnt cave. They fined him. He tried showing up and being a D. They sent him home and fined him anyway. He played the mental health card. They called his bluff and fined him again. Now he is reportedly broke. 

Theres no further step to take this. The proved they could do this. Now its become a case of cutting off their own nose to spite their face. There comes a time where it makes sense to bring in help for the team. And make a move for the betterment of the team. Not for Ben, but for the team. 

Theres nothing left to prove here. Its time to move on and try to help the team win now. 

To add... if they continue this, and have a very mediocre 6-7th seed type of record, it begins to look like Ben is winning. 

His value this season was at its all time high when they were on fire while playing all of their backups. Now, theyve come back down to earth a bit. And if Embiid cant take them on a big hot streak its going to look like theyve missed yet another opportunity to trade him at peak value. 

I disagree they need to act now.  The last thing you want to do is just give him away for nothing.  They already did that with Fultz.

Yep. Screw it. Wait it out.

Man that was frustrating. Both us and the refs.

They wouldn't be giving him away for nothing.  The reported offers have all been good.
