Your point?  They were both being aholes apparently.   I was watching and hoping Melo decked them both.  Good job by the officials and security to remove the **** nozzles before it escalated further.  Heckling is one this but they obviously crossed the line.

At least no one assaulted him with a piece of popcorn.

Well, apparently the one guy was calling him "boy” which is something black men were called during slavery (and since by racists I guess).

Although maybe Chris Haynes is talking about a third fan.  IDK

Yep.  Everything is racist now.  FFS.

How did they cross the line?   What did they do or say to deserve to get decked?   Since you know, please share.  I wasn’t there.  

I have never in my life heard of the word boy being referred to as a racist term. That's a new one.

I've never heard it used that way. I must live in a perfect racist free zone.

Cool thing for embiid to do

Yeah...I have in movies about the 1800's and then the 60's.  

But it takes triggered sensitive Lebronites to save the world from the use of the word.  These guys are so GD soft...No one condones racism...But come on.  Boy?  In 2022?  Give me a Fing break.  

I guess when heckling someone they should say Sir or Mr.   Only in Philly and not surprisingly, a team with Lebron, his buddy Carmelo and Russel Westbrook on it.  

 

Now we know why Lebron didn't want to play.  

If this were to happen, I’m out.  I want no part of Harden.  
 

 

Morey LOVES stars over everyone. We all know that from his history

IF by some chance it doesnt include Simmons, then its ok. Because you can still do a Simmons trade and add more.

If he is about to trade everything we have left for old fat harden, then hopefully theyll fire him. 

How many times will Harden need to be traded before people realize that he is getting traded away....not used as an asset...And for a reason!

Harden is certainly not the player that he used to be, but here he wouldn't have to be.  He's definitely a more reliable #2 scorer than Harris is (although Toby did make some timely shots last night). His contract would obviously be a little bigger though.  Still, I think he could be a helpful piece to our puzzle.

I wouldn’t even do that trade now. Just wait if you want harden in the offseason. If he chooses to leave the nets then in a sign and trade the nets lose leverage of what they can ask for cause sixers can just get another team (i believe can do this) to make it work. It’s why i brought up the (very highly unlikely) idea of in the offseason you do a sign and trade of Harris, green for harden in a sign and trade. Then use Ben in another deal. 

well, they're not gonna get harden for just simmons....so i'm not surprised if maxey would be included. and you couldn't really have harden, maxey, & curry on the court at the same time. i doubt anything happens but this isn't exactly shocking.

harris is the type of guy they'd need to attach a young asset to in order to get rid of. it would more likely take a guy like thybulle than green to get a team to take on tobi.

First i don’t think that trade happens this season. Nets aren’t giving up their best shot to win a title which is with harden this year. 

second the time for sixers to strike on a harden deal is this offseason. If he wants to leave the nets then the nets have less leverage. In a sign and trade the nets can decline to do so but I’m guessing they aren’t going to want harden leaving and getting nothing for him. They’ll take assets like the warriors did with Russell when Durant left.

Depends on when they deal Tobi. His contract becomes more helpful after 2022-23 season cause it’s an expiring contract. If it’s now you’d be correct. If it’s this offseason probably still correct.But you also would have green’s expiring contract which is also helpful to a team. And value to the sixers If at the deal line next year it allows teams to set up using him as an expiring contract. Offseason of 2023 it helps cause its expiring contract and could see teams taking it on due to that.

no doubt him and embiid is a very dangerous pairing. But.... all the assets, and at his age a big contract extension.... bad plan. 

Here we go. If Morey gets Harden we will probably have a tampering investigation.

Frankly he was friends with them way before this and the sixers were trying to get a deal done with the rockets before he went to the nets. Sixers behind the scenes likely have always talked about it. It’s much more realistic now then it ever has cause harden wants to test FA. This was always going to be a huge story cause of the morey connection and Rubin being his friend.
