Just confirms we'll be a 6th seed and likely a first round exit, honestly it's the best scenario for the team to get eliminated in the 1st round to try to get Brett fired :yeshrug:

Hopefully EB too
I'm good with both outcomes as long as Brett gets fired

Brand should have obviously brought in some guards to this team.. He needs to follow Brown out the door.

How do you choose B.Brown over Jimmy Butler and replace him with A.Horford smh


How is Neto getting playing time over anybody on that bench is amazing

I'm done with this season I don't care what happens
This team has the wrong parts (F Korkmaz pun intended ) and they don't play hard

I think all sports should be cancelled in 2020 anyway

People out here dying brehs

The fukk are we doing worrying about sports?

What happens if Aaron Judge, Patrick Maholmes, Sidney Crosby, & Kawhi all caught Covid19 and died

Not likely but.. who would be to blame and what impact would that have on the following seasons

Let's add some Alizarin Crimson & Van Dyke Brown

Put it like this as long as we got Embiid we have a future along Tobias.

We need a new coach and GM with direction. I would trade Horford... And sad to say Simmons I would give one year with a new coach and if it is the same time to ship him.

I hard disagree with the Simmons take. This is Ben's 3rd year and he's already 2x all-star. He's already one of the best and most versatile defenders in the league, one of the best passers in the league, an elite rebounder at the position, a monster in transition, etc.

The fact that he's so good with large glaring flaws in his game shows how great he can be, it would be foolish to pass that up unless you get amazing return.

We just need to actually construct a team around our stars for once. The FO has never been able to do so. Simmons/Harris/Embiid is a fine trio, they need to fill in the two wing positions with one shooter and one perimeter shot creator.

If you could somehow flip Horford for Hield you'd have a hybried of those two things easily, and we have a bunch of young wings, you'd hope one of them can fill that other spot(or Richardson fills that other spot)

I really want to pursue a Hield-Horford trade this Summer. The Kings have no centers, have no veteran leadership to get them to the playoffs. Horford is still very good as a Center, he just can't play the 4. The Kings wanted Horford badly when we signed him, and Buddy is stuck coming off the bench now and seems to want out of SAC.

Buddy would fit perfectly on this team, I'd be willing to give up additional assets to get him

Milton/Buddy/Harris/Simmons/Embiid
JRich/Thybulle/Korkmaz/Scott/

All the sudden that's a lot of shooting, JRich would go from an underwhelming starter to a really good 6th man, we'd just need to find a backup 5 in FA/Draft. We have our MLE to do that and should be just fine

You're not wrong

There's a long list of trades that almost happened and we say Thank God

Like back when A.I. almost got traded before the '01 season for a bag of beans

What's worse is this team
has some of the worst history of trades you'll ever find
From trading Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone C.Barkley and Allen Iverson for nothing

To trading the #1 pick in 86 draft for nothing


To trading UP to the #1 pick Fultz from #3 and passing on literally everyone else ..

Then trading Fultz (who they could use now)..
For nothing

1000th post in the thread

Bubble Embiid is absolutely the kind of guy who can take you to the promise land. Not only is he being more aggressive on offense - especially inside - but he's passing out of double teams like a champ, and he was dominant defensively tonight :blessed:
Shake can really shoot it :wow:

Shake, Tobias and Embiid are the only positives to really take from the games so far.

Still waiting for everyone else to emerge. I'm a little worried about Ben, he looks off.

During the scrimmages Ben was looking like he was taking steps to become elite but now that the games count again he’s reverted back to passive Ben :snoop:
