This is now the second game in a row where the refs were missing blatant calls for Joel. Instead of crying to them like Tobi does 10 times a game, he goes on about his business. You can see the determination on his face. He turns the anger into competitive drive. I think he is taking his game to yet another level. 

Both are relevant. If you don't have someone who is vocalizing an issue weaker individuals won't even be aware that it is an issue.

I was thinking this earlier today and didnt post. Now I read a Pompey tweet " Sixers just beat the Eastern Conference's second place Heat 109-98. They beat the first place Bulls twice. And beat the 3rd place Nets."

 

The way Joel is playing currently, these guys can compete with anyone. They may not win a series, but theyll be competitive with anyone. 

I really feel that if Morey just got over himself and traded Ben for a reasonable package (doesnt need to be a super star) to improve this team they can be legitimate contenders. He needs to get something done.

Seriously could he be any more wholesome. 

 

 

 

 

Add him to the trade. 

 

 

🤣

sucks that they have allowed themselves to get smoked by Washington.

Washington's starters sucked but their bench dominated. Not nearly enough from Curry, Harris, or Kork. But a Simmons trade could fix that in an instant.

I love all of these Lakers blogs coming up with trade ideas where they get Ben Simmons and other pieces and the rest of the teams get dog crap. 

It's hilarious how delusional they are 

Stein has spoken with executives and has some intriguing insight into what Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey might be thinking as the deadline approaches:

"Perhaps [Embiid] has also been sold on a concept that executives with a growing number of rival teams say they see as Morey's new preferred scenario: Keeping Simmons beyond the trade deadline to exhaust every last possibility for executing a complicated sign-and-trade in the offseason that finally brings James Harden to Philadelphia and routes Simmons to Brooklyn.

"Complicated is a polite description for such a deal [...] Yet it must be noted that there is enough noise circulating leaguewide about Harden's reported openness to relocation this summer -- after he turned down a lucrative extension from the Nets in October -- to give Morey the encouragement he needs to wait."

I just see Harden coming here and signing the biggest albatross contract in Philadelphia sports history

Yes, but the girls at Delilah's are thrilled and waiting in anticipation!!

I hate the idea of not trading Simmons before the trade deadline.  Morey needs to figure it out now.

Morey's playing the long-game.  Which is, of course, code for the 'immediate future is going to suck'.

[Real Hooper] "According to Sam Amick of the athletic: Kings seriously contemplating trade for both Tobias and Ben. Kings expected to make a big move before the deadline. If the Kings can’t get Ben they’re gonna go after Sabonis.

I’m all for it.

[Fischer] In an article on the sweepstakes from Jerami Grant: "The Pistons' package of Grant, Saddiq Bey, Kelly Olynyk and a first-round pick, (for Ben Simmons) for example, was not met with much enthusiasm by Philadelphia brass”

 

 

This is all getting old. Just ship the POS out for whatever you can get. Quit holding out hope for a star in return, it just isn’t happening.

IMO, this is the worst take I’ve ever seen you make.

We’ve past the point of no return. Get great value or let the cuckold stare at walls while abiding by the terms set forth that allow him to keep collecting a paycheck.

Wish they elaborated what the hell we would get back. I’m guessing Harrison Barnes is a given but at least he’s an expiring contract next year. Obviously also like a 3 or maybe even 4 team deal to make it work.

Or instead of Fox, then Haliburton and Bagley

If the report is true of fox not being a player the sixers want as a centerpiece of any deal got to think they want haliburton (assuming this trade is only a two team deal with the kings)

Myles Turner is out with a stress fracture so you wonder if Pacers still blow it up and trade Sabonis. Might give Sixers more leverage. 

Everything we hear is the Kings desperately want to make the playoffs
