You got some 7 footers I don't know about?

I will disregard 3-13 cause none of them are players you can build around, they are just pieces :yeshrug: Embiid is the foundation for whatever the Sixers are doing, what is the foundation for the Celtics breh? Smart? Kelly? Sully?

Embiid & Noel are great prospects, hence why I said I don't disagree at all with the Sixers having a brighter future. But when you make a claim that the Sixers have more talent on their roster to me that implies that they have a more talented team overall, not just that their two best players are better. :yeshrug:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Wats the update on him? Are there still questions about his weight gain?


Nah, the weight stuff was way overblown, he apparently got up to 275lbs (was 265lbs at the workouts)




He's getting close, I think he wants to play but who knows if they will let him.

They do have more talent in my eyes, because they have 2 positions locked up and Embiid being a post/skilled 7 footer is just a massive gap between what you have and him. And even if you feel they're going to trade Noel they still have Saric to play the 4 who is the unquestioned best young player in Europe right now.

Is there anyone on your team you feel is better than Noel? He's the main reason the Sixers defense is even respectable.

You my dude, but this slight at Gobert is unacceptable :leostare:

They lost those 3, and have Rudy, that is more than enough :blessed:
Along the way they could have at least got a star PG for one of the three. Such a waste of having all those talented big men; failing to build properly around them and then trading them for the bare minimum. They're lucky they still have Hayward.

I like Embiid I was high on him when he played for Kansas, Noel is pretty good as well, but it seems that Philly's GM is doing all this just for someone else to take the credit. He's prolly going to get thrown to the bushes when it all starts coming together. It happen to Billy Knight when he was Gm of the Hawks.

He still be in Houston getting minutes and development if it wasnt for the Dwight signing. He can be somehody in this league and a contributor on a contender.

I agree, but it has to be the right kind of team. Bad teams in need of players with versatile skillsets won't need him, but good teams who need a garbage/energy guy could really use him. I see the Clippers as a good fit for him
