What do we make of this Charlie Brown guy? Crazy how quickly he went from not being on the roster, to forcing the team to cut Aaron Henry and earning a 2 way contract, to consistently getting minutes in the 76ers rotation. I know Thybulle is out, but they spent a 1st round pick on a guard who can defend. They like CB's defense so much they are playing  him over their 1st round pick.

Is it the hair that gives this kid the aura and makes you feel he may be something? Is he the next Covington that the 6ers discovered out of obscurity?

 

I think he is a kid that has played in the league for a bit so he is use to the speed a bit more and maybe impressed in practice. 

[Derek Bodner] "The 76ers have asked the Kings for guard Tyrese Haliburton and multiple first-round picks, and asked for a package around John Collins and multiple first-round picks from the Hawks along with Atlanta taking on Tobias Harris, multiple sources tell The Athletic."

[NBA Central] "The Charlotte Hornets have been among new teams placing a Ben Simmons inquiry to the 76ers, per @ShamsCharania & @sam_amick"

He makes a lot of sense with Hornets but unless willing to give Bridges then hang up. Even then he is a RFA at the end of the year 

I mean Morey is playing it as well as he can - if any team wants him now they better come with a package that makes Morey okay with punting on the S&T possibility for Beal/Harden this summer - but entering year 10 of this team asking for patience from the fans is just too much. Everyone is burnt out. Simmons torpedoing his trade value at the worst possible time has been the icing on the cake for this snake bit franchise. This will go down in history as an era of woulda/shoulda/couldas.

I'd do this

I'm sure you would lol

They can’t even get a star in return for Simmons now, they think his value is going to somehow go up next offseason when he’s more than a year removed from even playing? Morey is delusional. 
 

They need to just take the best package they can get NOW. Getting a couple of decent to good players in return is better than playing short-handed. I’d be getting pissed if I were Embiid. Dudes out there playing out of his mind to drag them to win after win, and they refuse to get him help. What it might take for a deal to get done is for Embiid to just say hey, either make a move or you can trade me too.

From everything I've heard, multiple times throughout the season, Embiid is on board with this. If Embiid wanted to take the best deal now, they'd do it. They know Embiid is the franchise and treat him as such.

I’m sure it is but I don’t think it’s a total bluff. If Morey doesn’t get what he deems good value, I think they’ll wait for the off-season. I’m hoping all the leaks are an indication that a team is close to something he would take and he’s trying to get them there.

 

anybody else not really want old, fat harden?

Prior to this year I was on board but he has lost a step this year

I didn't want him last year when the rumor was we were trying to get him.  So ....no thanks.

Certainly not with the contract they'll also be giving him.

Well then he is dumb too. If anyone knows that this level of play from him is not guaranteed next year it should be him. 

Redick on his podcast said they should make a trade rather than wasting this year of Embiid. 

He's sometime,  along with TJ McConnel who spoke glowingly about Simmons at PG.

So it's coming from someone who values Ben, saying they should just make a deal already. 

Does anybody else miss that team? 

Dario, RoCo, TJ, JJ, Ilyasova etc? 

They were so fun to watch.... This team is just.... Meh....

Embiid and Maxey are pretty much the only thing worth watching with this current roster. Maybe Curry when he’s on a hot shooting streak. 
 

If Embiid wasn’t playing at an insane level right now they’d be in serious trouble. 

Still not as bad as the Horford year

if morey really does this, he's the dumbest gm we ever had because they were other stars that could have been dealt for him, it's all about his ego and certain players he wants like that's not the way to win because he's wasting embiid's talent.

You wanted him last year before Houston traded him to Brooklyn
