[DaveEarly] Have heard that the #Sixers recently held internal talks about acquiring Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a potential Ben Simmons swap. OKC is also a key team to watch as a facilitator in a potential multiteam deal.

Sounds great!  They can build the team around Josh Giddey and Ben.

How in the F will they pull that off. 

He might be the most under appericated player in the league in my opinion. Kid is a monster even though his shooting is down this year. 

I don't think he is comfortable sharing the ball with Giddy so much and mentioned this a while ago. Would be another adjustment for Maxey but back to a more natural position of off ball guard. 

I would do it just to hear WIP callers mispronounce Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

I was happy to see we were on ESPN tonight.  No chance of having the female NBCSP broadcaster trying to sound like a dude.  But just my luck, Beth Mowans doing the game for ESPN.  FML.

Probably Maxey and Ben but just a guess with the kid going to a 3rd team for something else back for OKC. 76ers may get a toss in. Not saying I'd do it but that's probably how.

Looks like we have pre-2020 Embiid again.  Disinterested, lazy perimeter shooter.

good thing they super maxed him. 

That was 1000% a traveling call 🤣🤣🤣

This team stinks. 

Joseph Embiid woke up.   

Fing terrible shot 

I wouldn't go looking up Garland stats either. Kid is a stud. 

I'll take it

I love garland. He’s going to be so good. Sadly play for cleveland so not as much national attention. 

I was at the movies last night and missed the game.  After reading this thread, I was shocked to discover they won.

The first half was really ugly, especially the second quarter.  I was 99% convinced Young was going to hit a 3 from 10 feet outside the arc to win the game.

Sounds like catching the end of game highlights is as much of this as I want to see. 

how many sixers would you guys say are above average athletes for their position? i'm talking pure athleticism...running, jumping.

 

 

Huge break for the Sixers

Simmons is the only one, and he sucks.

Maybe Thybulle, but he has no skill to show it off so he may as well not be.

Could have said Embiid, as a rookie. Not so much anymore. 

Maybe Maxey.

Thats it. 3 guys that make  you say eehhh? mmaaybe???? its a stretch.  The only other guy who unquestionably is, is worthless anyway.

Nope. I’m not including Maxey for a guy on the wrong side of 30. I’m still a big believer that the kid is going to be a star in this league for a long time.
