HazletonEagle Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Cool how Embiid was watching the game in the locker room, and he came running out to celebrate with the team. They should do a giveaway. Any time Joel misses a game for rest some fan should win the opportunity to watch the game with Joel in the locker room. That would be a blast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Drummond is talking to the media right now and instead of talking about his big game, he said in shoot around he told the guys we are missing 20 some shots, and 30 some points tonight (with Embiid out) so you guys are gonna need to get those shots. Said his job is to be a ball mover and figure out how to get those guys open. Cool to hear, Drummond on a 1 year deal who could be looking to get his and go get paid as a free agent, instead is all about getting the other guys increased production. Just now, iladelphxx said: Ben would have been at home playing COD. Joel could have been home with his super model wife. But he watched the game in the arena instead. That was awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealdawk Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 That was insane. As good as an NBA game as you'll ever see on a Monday in January. If you missed it, find a replay. Focus on the match-ups on both ends from Maxey/Tybulle and Morant/Bane. Always extending, always moving. The speed and athleticism. Too bad that game was not national. It was as good as it gets. Tobi haters in my section are finally coming around. It was obvious between missing Ben and the covid bout that he needed time to adjust...and he has. Andre Drummond was a monster on those boards. Kork was big pimping in his street clothes. He was "drip" master of the night. No Embiid and Seth went 1-8 from three. Great win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepard Wong Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 What a lunatic. Dude admits he ignored all of Doc’s attempts to reach out to him but is angry Doc didn’t just show up where he was working out. 19MM and counting in fines accumulated so far. Hope he loses the eventual arbitration and never sees the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a lot of sense when he cries about Rivers not coming to see him while he was training, even though he ghosted Rivers when Rivers tried to call him.

nipples Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Been saying all season that under no circumstance do you include Maxey in a trade. Kid is going to be a star very soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some crap you'd only be dumb enough to do in your early 20's. Burning $30+ million because you're mad at your coach—who bent over backwards to shield you from criticism—finally cracked, and admitted that it's a little weird for a starting PG to be terrified of shooting. Just hope I'm alive long enough to hear 50-60 year old Ben Simmons' opinions on 24 year old Ben Simmons screwing himself out of $30 mil because his little fee-fees got hurt. I also like the comment about Ben feeling upset because Embiid called him out for the Atlanta series when Ben didn't call Embiid out over the Toronto series. I don't remember any specific Embiid failure in that series, but if he failed, he failed while actually TRYING which is 1000x more forgivable than your starting all-star PG refusing to shoot the ball. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_hunt Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 next step for maxey is playing with this type of aggression when jojo is also on the court. he's young & tends to defer a bit too much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I kept thinking while reading it. Clearly she was fed this by Rich Paul and Klutch, and it still makes Ben seem like a spoiled brat. The team is better without him, both on and off the court. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will come with time I’m sure. I’m just excited to watch the kid develop and see just how good he becomes. The kid won’t even be 22 until next season. Right now the sky’s the limit… and he seems like a dude who will actually put in the work to get better, unlike the guy he replaced in the lineup.

But they paid him and they allowed him not to play so he could get bonuses the following where he won rookie of the year. So we already paid him one year where he didn’t play at all and he could have. We’re not doing it a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehardfan Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 All they need to say is the guy is healthy and is choosing not to play because he doesn't want to honor the contract he signed. The end. Nothing in his contract about people having to coddle him because he is a wimp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Have to wonder if Morey starts to feel a little pressure to do a deal as long as the Sixers are this hot. He HAS to see that getting a couple good players back in return can help push this team over the top. Needs to stop holding onto the pipe dream of getting a star in return for Ben when he can make a trade that can help this team NOW rather than wasting a year of Embiid’s career.

He already said with the way Joel is playing, they are willing to accept a top 40 player rather than a top 30 player. At the same time he was saying there do seem to be packages with the Kings that would work. Reportedly Haliburton, Hield, and Barnes was offered. Conceivably, Fox is on their top 40 list, but wasnt offered. And so, still no deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I’d rather have Haliburton than Fox. Better fit IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morey could be counting on the March Embiid injury to happen again as well and is willing to hold off to see if better offers come this summer.

I struggle to see better offers coming in the summer when Simmons is then over a full calendar year since the last time he stepped on a court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
