So they got rid of Simmons, got a star player in return and sent him to a divison rival when he is too scared to play in Philly. I'd call it a win

I really doubt that wusssy will have the balls to play when the Nets come to the Wells Fargo Center in March but man....if he does?  Any time Simmons touches the ball the crowd should be screaming SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT......whenever he goes to the line BRICK, BRICK, BRICK.........

That ticket will be worth the price of admission.

Really to me it’s not even just about athletes. Probably should have not just mentioned athletes in that paragraph. it is people who have mental health issues and mental health crisis they’re going through and it’s actually something they have to deal with everyday. And this ass clown decided because he didn’t wanna play for Philadelphia anymore and still wanted to get paid that he would use it to his advantage. That to me is so insulting and infuriating to mental health issues to stoop that low and play that card. knowing damn well the only reason you’re doing it is because you want to get paid for sitting at home because you’re too scared and too much of a child to play a game of basketball where you signed a contract paying you 30+ mil. 

Well speaking on my own behalf I don't care what any of these pro athletes do. They make up a very small percentage of the population and don't live in the real world. 

 I'm sure other pro athletes will be pissed and should be pissed. Now if someone on my level of life would do that like a coworker then yes I 100% would be mad. 

The last sentence where you said he gets 30 mil plus a year... Yeah that's why it doesn't bother me when a guy like that does it lol. They don't live in my world

Now the big question… when does Harden actually step on the court for the Sixers for the first time?

I’m guessing this weekend will be too soon. Maybe Tuesday vs Boston?

Either tomorrow or Tuesday I think. Also depends on how injured his hammy actually is.

I have a feeling the hamstring miraculously healed sometime around noon yesterday

Could use him against Cleveland tomorrow but I’m thinking the Boston game is more likely.

I’m sure those nice kind people in Brooklyn will go easy on him when he doesn’t shoot.

Does Brooklyn even have fans? NY is a Knicks town, no matter how much they suck and for how long. 

It's amazing to me how many people (on NBA TV, ESPN, etc.) are like the Nets crushed the Sixers in this trade!  The Nets won this trade hands down!  Yes, Simmons is great defensively, yes he can rebound and push the ball....yes they have great offensive players in Durant and Irving....but quick question, what can Durant and Irving do if you foul Simmons the second he gets the ball in a close game?  You are basically taking the ball out of Durant and Irving's hands.  Now let's go to the Sixers, not sure if these analysts are aware but...ummm....Simmons wasn't playing for the Sixers and they had the 5th best record.  Now you add Harden and the Sixers are worse off?  

I don't know how this will ultimately turn out but I'll take a shot with Harden (you know, the guy that had two recent triple doubles with over 30 points in them before his hamstring - or supposed - injury) teaming up with Embid and see if we can win it!!

I’ve noticed the same with the national media. I’ve even seen some pundits (Stan Vangundy, SAS) say Harden will be a bad fit on the 76ers and it was a bad move 

the national media wants the nets in the finals...preferably against the lakers  so they'll always push that narrative.

I’d think 76ers would out draw the Nets for ratings but who knows. Evidently no one in NY cares about the Nets.

Could it be possible that Harden is a stepping stone to a deal next year for a guy like Beal, or Ingram?

He opted in to the contract for next year so itll be an expiring deal for a bad team looking for cap relief. On the other hand, do we really want to extend a guy who will be 34 years old for another 5 years 260 million?

 

I dont know if its true, but I read Kyrie will get the shot now. He just wanted Harden gone.

Can someone let him know Doc likes to run all bench units for way too long in games?

Where the hell is the Philly media?  It like to know if Daryl will be speaking to the media today? Or when? When will Harden PC be? Most importantly, any news on when Harden will be available to play?

Why the hell is there radio silence since the trade went down, now almost 24 hours ago?

Harden isn't done his Philly strip club tour yet.  Give it time.  The strippers are massaging his hammy with their asses.

Meanwhile in Brooklyn, Irving is burning some sage to kill the negative energy of a 10 game losing streak.

I guess Harden isn’t playing tonight?
