Didn't realize they were only starting him and one other guard. Did that change once Harris was brought in?

Oh the other two guards you're referencing are JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler are well known for their abilities to play the PG position? Did Jimmy Butler never play the SF position before either? Even Butler right now is listed as SF on basketball reference for his position with the 76ers.

In the game that Jimmy missed, the 76ers started F Mike Scott in his place. Meaning their starting lineup was Simmons, Redick, Harris, Scott and Embiid. Curious if Simmons doesn't play the PG position, why wouldn't they start another guard?

Kind of a reach to say he's not their PG, when all he does is play the PG position.

Yeah, I guess I just haven't paid that much attention this year. Have to think things would be different if their #1 pick hadn't busted his way out of town though...

You are smoking the good stuff lol

6ers started talking about Simmons playing PG well before they drafted Fultz and before he played his first game.

When they drafted Fultz, they viewed him a a Kyrie to Simmons' LeBron. It didn't work, but Simmons was always going to be a primary ball handler for Philly.

Expected this.

like the Lakers would have voided his contract.

He may have welcomed it. Then he could choose where he went I think as opposed to dealing with Lebron's whims.

 

[Bolts]

I'll be shocked if they choose someone else

 

[Battlelyon]

LeBron the GM is back

 

[dtgold88]

Be ironic if they chose Lue...replace one scape goat with another.
