yeah. We had hope that Embiid and Simmons being here would attract a star to complete the trifecta. But it didnt. Maybe thats because they were both egotistical and wanted to be the main man.

Now, maybe with Embiid maturing, and Harden instead of Simmons, maybe that changes. It seems like Embiid still wants to be the man. But he has finally actually earned the right to claim this team. And even Harden has said he is just here to add to what we already have. 

I don't think to many players in the league care for Harden either. He isn't like most other players you hear about him being friends with and wanting to play together with so and so. Maybe it's the staying up all night at strip clubs that any serious player looking to win championships that rubs players the wrong way. 

I was reading an article the other day saying Harden is going to have a hard time finding someone to talk for him at his hall of fame ceremony lol. Maybe Morey can jack him off at the podium

good signing....turrible braids.

The quality of Mitchell and ness jerseys has gone downhill over the last 10 years. Frankly fanatics/sports memorabilia have horrific customer service.

Fanatics absolutely blows agreed there. They send the wrong sheet all the effing time or nothing at all. The 2 main affiliates to help fund the message board I refuse to buy from lol.

Yup. I was super pissed about the game used brooks jersey being wrong. I was actually going to try to get all 5 starting olineman from the super bowl. I had it set up to do it and then they Fed it up.

I ordered a couch cover with the Eagles logo on it. So my animals don't eff up my couch lol .... Long story short they tried sending it 6 times, yes you read that right 6 times!! They said they lost it 5 out of the 6 times.... The 6th time they finally realized they never even had any lmao! Idiots!

Also my super bowl blanket was just a regular eagles blanket.

Sounds about right. They suck. Their customer service is as bad as them knowing what they had in stock and sending it to you. I’m hoping the nfl partners more with Amazon if bezos buys the team cause i think Amazon would take a lot of the stuff from fanatics nfl wise

Ugh I hate Amazon too lol. They do a great job but, they are like rooting for peak belichick and Brady lol. They would have zero issue shutting down every business on the planet and only have them to buy from. That I will not support. Not that he needs my money, he's just evil lol

He any good?

I seem to remember a few years where he would have hot streaks with near triple doubles in a lot of games. Not a big scorer, but he can contribute in various stat categories, and he was athletic. He could defend his position out to the perimeter so a stretch big is not an issue for him. 

People seem to think this will be a great fit for Harden's propensity to throw lobs. 

I dont know how athletic he still is. But if he can protect the rim, rebound, and catch lobs we should be in good shape. If he could do all that, Im not sure why he has been a free agent all year. 

WCS is still only 28. So he should still be plenty athletic. 

He was waived January 15th. I assumed he was a free agent all year. 

For some reason his per 36 numbers are pathetic this year. 

Jevon Carter plans to sign with the bucks. So, Vincenzo is injured, and they still got a defensive dawg coming to replace him.

reportedly rockers and Schroder are unlikely to pursue a buyout.

He never developed any skills. He is just big.

hes big, and athletic. And was a decent player with the kings for a few years. 

He never developed offense. But he could block shots and catch lobs, and defend pretty well. 

Regardless, it makes no sense how his per 36 plummeted this year. He should still be plenty athletic at 28 years old. 

Solid points. 

 

It's been noted Giannis "guarded" Thybulle last game and basically roamed in the paint instead of really guarding him. 

At least he's taking a few 3s. But teams still aren't going to bother guarding it at such a low percentage.

Copying off the Warriors when they played the Grizzlies and had Andrew Boget guard Tony Allen.

And Fing crazy that Ben needs weeks to ramp up. I tell his ass he can get into shape as he plays just like most of the NBA does these days.

There’s part of me who thinks he really doesn’t want to be in Brooklyn either and going back to when he was here and there was always the rumor he wanted to be on the west coast particularly LA and would leave to go to LA.

Love to see Embiid dunk on him hard in the playoffs

Harden looked a little thinner when he arrived in Philly.  And looks even thinner today. Like fit basketball player  thin now. 

My suspicion at the time was that the wait to see him debut had less to do with his Hamstring, and more to do with his conditioning. It's something the team wouldn't report- he needs to lose weight before playing.   So the Hamstring was a convenient excuse. 

It's encouraging to see him shrink again.  Feel like we could be in for some great play from him.

I don't think he gives a f about basketball, in general and never has. I mean he literally threw gas on 20 million himself and burned it

I wonder if there is any chance of Curry requesting a buyout before that deadline passes. 

Through Steph's words it doesnt sound like Curry is thrilled about leaving Philly. And now the report that there was not a great relationship with Ben...

Though I guess maybe BKN has made sure those guys were on board before accepting that package. Thatd be tough to lose the best filler player in the deal in a buyout.

Tracy McGrady was accusing him of wearing a fat suit to force a trade

It looked like he did that in Houston when he got traded to brooklyn. This time he wasnt that big. But he was clearly fluffier than he is right now.
