What do you do to alleviate the obv issues Philly has vs BOS/Raps

[Rigby.]

I think its evident they can defend these guys, thats not the issue

hell, they can get to the rims respectably when Js are flying

but the big thing is just how little shot creation and shooting is on the floor when Kelle and Simmons are there. More Simmons than Fultz. against Kawhi or against Boston in a close game, he's LITERALLY unplayable. No BS, I havent seen a clip from the game tonight that makes me think Simmons would finish with a positive plus/minus in a 7 game series against Toronto unless Kawhi is dead. Fultz and TJ vs an improved Lowry and FVV is also

so lets say you have three moves, devoid of logic unless its something as insane as trading simmons for lebron or some shyt, how do you fix this this season

 

[Miggs]

Raptors have size at the wing that will neutralize Simmons as long as he cant shoot...

Thats a condensed version of what I said yes

Im really just wondering if people have solutions to what seems like a hard cap to the Philly offense. Like its the same story as last year thus far, before they traded for all the spacers

 

[Columbo]

Theyre simply not as good, not as deep. They need better role players. Had they drafted Tatum they wouldve been fine

 

[Osmosis]

They won’t be able to score with Fultz and Simmons on the floor together.

You know the hype goes , Especially this day and age with social media. The process has looked upward but we can’t even give it Time with the reactionary hot takes everyone wants to spout

Having 2 legit building blocks, getting into the 2nd round of the playoffs after a near decade of misery has set expectations unrealistically high. Coming into the season, I thought they were behind Boston with the Raptors right behind them. They lost some shooters and Ben and Fultz can’t play together .It’s like people don’t realize that these guys we’re a top 3 bottom team less than 2 years ago.

 

[MJ Truth]

Chandler will help some but that won’t close the gap. If they could make an offer for Jimmy Butler without losing a core piece but that doesn’t seem reasonable.

 

[Bigblackted4]

They need a wing scorer in the worst way, they just don’t have a wing that can get buckets, PG would have been a perfect fit, they should go after Jimmy

 

[Omar Little]

I thought Pg or Kawhi would have been the piece to em up over the top.

 

[DonKnock]

Give Ben Simmons game checks to Drew Hanlen until he makes a 3 in a game.

 

[Kwabena]

Celtics & Raptors are both capable of sweeping the Sixers.

Fultz is beyond trash

 

[desjardins]

They didn't resign key shooters in order to free up money for a free agency period that they whiffed on
They have time to build the team or wait for the right opportunity. The oldest members of the core are 24 yr old. People talking like they have to be title contenders this year or something.

 

[cartierhoe]

Letting Beli and Ilyasova go was a big mistake

You can't have Ben and Fultz on the floor at the same time

NBA Trade Machine - ESPN

Simmons, Covington and Bayless to the Clips for Tobias, Lou Williams and dirty Pat Beverley.

Would make them better right now at least. I realize they'd want a lot more for Simmons though.

 

[CHICAGO]

THEY DID ALL THAT TANKING
JUST TO GET TO THE FINISH LINE
AND fukk UP THE TATUM PICK.

NOW THEYLL FOREVER BE STUCK BEHIND BOSTON
AND THE RAPS IF KAWHI STAYS.

PLUS THEYLL BE TOO GOOD
TO GET SOMETHING NICE IN THE DRAFT.
