Simmons/Embiid Duo

[Osmosis]

Trading the third pick plus lakers pick for fultz was such a terrible idea

Why? Fultz is an adequate compliment to their game. Once he's healthy and his jumper returns to what it was in college, he'll be able to play off-ball effectively and run the second unit. He was the most polished guard offensively in the draft.

see how you mentioning "and his jumper returns to what it was"? this should have never been mentioned, the sixers are fukking up his jumper, they dont even know how to develop this guy right now the way they treating him

tatum so far looks like a good choice at 3 as well

and sixers lost either theirs or kings 2019 pick, philly better be ready for the playoffs next year or the pick will be a valuable asset

They could retain it if the pick is 1 or after 5. Have to think that the Lakers will be better than the Mavs, Kings, Bulls, Hawks long term and should be better than the Suns and Nets as well.

Nah that man is CERTAINLY blacc balled. That’s why the league pushed the embarrassing images of the 6ers so heavy like there wasn’t other franchises doing almost as pathetic without tanking. If Hinkie got probably one more year out, he would’ve flipped Oak and Noel for real talent/picks and probably would’ve got somebody better suited than Fultz. His draft IQ was pretty fukking high too. League basically slapped Philly in the face with this retarded fukk Colangelo running the scenes.

Only thing is I think if they would've kept Hinkie that lottery ball that landed us Simmons would've magically landed for someone else. I noticed that whenever a team complies with the league, they're always rewarded for it, coincidentally or not. Look at how the last few drafts/offseasons have played out, almost too perfect for the legacy franchises (Lakers, Celtics and Sixers).

They are a perfect duo. Their games mesh well together. They still have one piece missing before they can be a legit contender. Neither Simmons or Embiid are closers. In close games down the stretch they will struggle to score because Simmons isn't a scorer and Embiid is a big who can be easily doubled in the clutch.

What they need is an athletic 2-guard who can score the ball off the dribble, shoot the 3-ball, and create his own shot. We know Fultz isn't that. He's an epic bust. The perfect fit for them would be a guy like Zach LaVine.

If you paired LaVine with Simmons and Embiid, you would have the next great NBA dynasty.

Fultz is injured, how is he a bust ?

Just because he don't like him

Embiid still shouldn’t be trusted

I agree with him being the most comfortable rookie I've ever seen also. He looks like a 3rd or 4th year guy who everything is just clicking for, but he's not easily their best player. Don't forget he's also averaging 10 more minutes per game than Embiid right now. Embiid is 7'2" and can score from literally anywhere on the floor. He's the most natural scorer in the post I've personally ever seen (not the best yet, but the most naturally gifted). And he affects the game on the defensive end as much as anyone in the league.

Blake was just like that as a rookie. When you got a nba ready body and a year of sitting out it does wonders for you

But then that means they give up the kings pick

2019 is looking like a poor draft, made worse by the New lottery structure.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

we atleast had a taste ()of what embiid was capable of in the nba.


Didn't know simmons would have this kind of feel for the game . Dude is calmly running the point like a seasoned vet at 6'10 And he's getting to the basket with ease despite defenders giving him a 5 foot cushion cause he can't hit 3s. All he needs is a semblance of a 3 and its a wrap

Draft Flutz brehs when you could have taken Tatum on the wing brehs

 

[MJ Truth]

shyt matter of fact, if Cleveland does just straight up tank (which is a viable option) and decides to look towards the future, they should say fukk the nba and pay Hinkie. Give him two top 5 picks and whatever they can get from trading LeBron and he’ll have them looking legit

You're literally dumb as fukk for thinking this is a good idea.

The horrible sports takes and irrational hate will make this sixers turnaround so much better.

Please keep hating on Simmons, "clowning" Embiid and doubting fultz while they are on their way to playoffs brehs
