We have to get rid of Horford before we’re stuck with him. He’s aged a lot. Maybe it’s our offense or our defensive scheme but he’s been useless with the exception of a few games. He’s been a huge disappointment and he’s killing our cap space :snoop:

We just ain't got it, spacing, flow and offense is so awful and they're letting that frustration on offense affect the defense.

Brett Brown can't make adjustments or design plays to beat the zone.

I would try bringing him off the bench and putting Mike Scott in the starting line up.

Sorry to all you Ben Simmons fans but he has to go I am sorry. I am pretty sure we can get some pieces for him

See, I actually think Harris is the one you trade

Then you play

Guard
Thybulle if he's ready
Richardson
Simmons
Embiid

With Horford coming off the bench

I thought about that but he was brought in to protect the rim and play defense when Embiid is out. But be honest watching these games has he looked any better than Boban or Amir when he’s out there without Embiid. I’d trade him for some shooters hell I was against K Love, but I’d make that move lol.

Tobias has been the most consistent player with the exception of tonight and when he was playing sick. Horford is basically stealing a check right now and costing the team 109 mill he needs to be moved.

I said this in the NBA thoughts thread but they need to move Simmons off the ball for a scoring guard (Who Fultz was supposed to be) I doubt it ever happens because Brett is stupidly stuck on the idea that Ben must be a PG

Ben just stagnates the offense too much to be the primary ball handler because he's not a threat to score. Imagine if we had someone like CJ McCollum at his position

Imagine anyone at this point who doesn’t pass up dunks and layups for open 3’s to average 3pt shooters.

Not saying I would trade Ben because I wouldn’t but he needs to come off the ball. And I saw J Rich, Trey, Neto, and Tobias all do the same thing in this game passing up a shot at the rim for a 3pt kickout. This is Brett’s goofy offensive scheme. I think we have maxed our potential with bul.

I wouldn't trade Ben either. But he has to come off the ball

Harris has been the best player on this team, I'm not trading him

Y'all would obviously know better than me. I actually think there's a fix if you can find a guard on the buyout market.

You could still go

Guard
Richardson
Harris
Simmons
Embiid

Unless you think that Simmons and Embiid absolutely can't play together. But y'all are right, I think Horford is the one that doesn't really fit with the starters
