Embiid is playing out of his mind this year, so going for it, especially with no real competition in the East beyond Milwaukee, makes sense. 

Yes I agree. This is good. Im very excited that those tickets I bought the other day to see Embiid vs Joker will now have Harden joining the show as well.

Im not bashing it by talking about the next step. Im just looking ahead and thinking.

He’s not playing 48 minutes per game in the playoffs. 

And the back up will go against back ups. 

Name one back up big that has skills that will expose any team for 12 minutes a game. It's wings and guards that dominate this league especially the 2nd unit. 

Sixers would put Drummond in a high pick and roll over and over when they play them in the playoffs until he can't be played.

Jealous of this fact alone, bro.  Have a great time!

The biggest P-U-S-S-Y in sports is now in New York!!!

This is good. THIS is the deal that will prove Morey to be the genius people say he is. 

Acquiring Harden at this age, and at the cost of his next contract is nice to get rid of simmons. But its not like getting a superstar in his prime. This isnt special. Its what the GM can still pull off when he has a team so cap strapped that will really prove the genius.

Im off of Fire Morey mode for now. But, hes not proven himself yet. A Beal, or LaVine trade could have done that. A Murray trade with the Spurs might have done that.

This is good. But he needs another shoe to drop at some point to be great. 

I’m guessing next year harris, thybulle and other assets are gonna be used to bring in pieces that fit better if Harris isn’t clicking with harden and embiid. Curious to see how Harris plays alongside embiid and harden. If he does well that’s awesome if not I’m guessing another move at the deadline next year or the following offseason.

We are sitting baseline section at the end of the 6ers bench in row 4. Its gonna be nice! Should be close enough to smell the p*** all over Harden from Cheerleaders pre-game.

If they get Dragic and Robin Lopez on the buyout market...Morey should demand apologies from everyone.

I love Hinkie but we are so far removed from his process I wouldnt even credit him for that. Id give it up to Morey. Dragic and Thompson or Lopez is a homerun for this season.

LOL. Meant Morey. Too much going on today.

I really hope Simmons doesn’t **** out of playing in Philly March 10th. Going to be crazy if he plays. Imagine if Embiid dunks in Ben’s face in front of the Philly crowd. The building may actually explode.

Whats the story with embiids tweet??

He cropped out the caption because it uses the N word, but here's the whole thing....

Spoiler

 

Would've rather had Hield but oh well.  Harden is alright, too.

Unless we win a championship this year or next, I'd have to say the Nets got the better end of the deal given Simmons young age and Curry's ability to score from the outside. Harden better show up and give 100% because in the games I saw him, he looked, slow, lazy and disinterested. He better be the triple double threat he can be or Philly fans will be upset.

He truly loathes Ben so much...

Apparently Bertans went with Dinwiddie in that Porzingis trade.

I have to think he's going to be more excited than anyone to defend the low post against Ben when we play the Nets. The trash talking is going to be epic. 

Shelbourne already reporting that Simmons likely won't play until after the All-Star break. Needs time. 

If the Nets had fans, they'd be furious.

So glad that bish  isn’t our problem anymore. 

Apparently 6ers were working on more. Will see if anything is announced in the next hour or so

Your favorite redheaded step child.  Had to get salaries to match.

[Levin] i'm not saying he will, but the CBA clearly states that Daryl is allowed to dip his balls on the foreheads of everyone who said he should trade Ben for Buddy Hield
