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 :mjlol:

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.:manny:
