Doubt he’ll even be there. He’ll mysteriously have a minor injury that forces him to miss just that one game.

He will 100% not play

Do you think he will go full bish mode and not even travel with the team for that game ??

See i feel matisse is more replacable than seth

The issue with Seth Curry is you have to give him an extension this off-season because his contract runs out at the end of next year. And you’re gonna have to give him a nice extension even though he’s 33 when the extension kicks in. Frankly I’d love to get a buddy hield in here to replace the shooting you use with curry. Even with harden I’d still like another shooter. 

Isaiah Joe becomes key now imo.  If he steps up, we’re rolling.

and I cannot wait to get Ben in the WFC

Why? Because Harden was demanding out and he overpaid a bit to get him? Genius would have been taking a longer term approach like the Sac deal, clearing Harris, and getting him for nothing if he was that serious about getting out. Not saying it was a bad move but it's not like he pulled off a trade out of nowhere.

We also have no real clue how serious Harden’s injury is. I mean was he intentionally using it as an excuse because he didn’t want to play, or is it a legit injury that will be nagging him the rest of the season? Hamstrings are a ****.

Well Seth wasn't a functional defender so they break even

truth. and they'll split the sf minutes with green & thybulle like they have been.  it's not perfect but it works. also, seth has been looking worn down a bit this season...i think all those minutes are catching up with him. maxey/harden should be an electric backcourt!

I’d put money on it. Dude is that mentally fragile.

It will be hilarious if the match up in the playoffs and he doesn't show up to any of the away games.

Why do you think all of a sudden he was demanding a trade and for some reason it became news Simmons was vaccinated.

And if the vaccine mandate isn’t changed so Kyrie can’t play at home. They’d have no Kyrie for home games and no Ben for road games in that series.

You like the guy?  I don’t.  Congrats.  
 

 

Screaming A talking about how good the Nets are going to be. Yeah, we'll see in the playoffs when we can back 15 feet off Simmons when he's on offense, and Simmons is terrified to try to take it to the rack against Embiid. I can't wait, Embiid will eat that fool alive. 

Nets, Bucks, and Sixers all got better. It's a 3 team race unless Bulls make a move and Vuc remembers how to play basketball

funny part is...i can't stand harden...never liked his style of play. hopefully it will work out though.

A couple days ago I didn’t think it would get done until the off-season. I still had it wasn’t gonna get done until the off-season if thybulle was going to be included that deal. They were never going to give up thybulle knowing in the off-season they could get James Harden without having to give him up. I think they’re OK giving up Seth Curry in that deal because they’re not gonna give him an extension after next year because it’s gonna be way too costly for them to do it at 33 years old.

I think the other thing that came into play is that Brooklyn saw the writing on the wall that if they kept James Harden he was going to do what he did in Houston and then leave to go to Philadelphia in the off-season and they get nothing if the sixers moved Harris.

I’m not a big Harden guy, and would have rather seen them do the Kings trade, but this is at least better than going through the rest of the season with no Simmons and no replacement. 

Glad Ben is gone though.  @Khani1   I’ll message you later.  Once I’m off the course.  Congrats.  I hope I’m wrong.

I think the nets are incredibly stupid more then the sixers are geniuses but, at least they finally got some damn help for Embiid to make run this year

He's a great passer. We can let Maxey play off the ball and I think the starting 5 becomes dominant. It's only the bench I'm worried about. 

ben in philly....3rd quarter....gets fouled going up for a weak right handed half-hookshot....goes to the line....misses both free throws....free frosty's for everyone....the crowd goes wild!!!
