@tlance How quickly will we see Ben Simmons' miraculous recovery from mental illness?

 

[flyerhawk]

He has never had a center like Embiid.

Yeah. He will have so much space to operate and he has the vision to distribute.

The Sixers offense should become one of the top in the league.

OK. I'll bite. Why is this such an awful trade?

Are you just assuming that Harden is washed?

 

[Mecca]

Oh my...

When He signed that deal, I thought the Spurs were high.

Derrick can play.
He is a really good fit for the Celtics.

Live look into the Simmons compound...

Sure.

As long as he remembers he's option #2.

If he can do that, that's a frightening 1-2 punch.

Embarrassing

I will say everything points to BKN winning this trade and I think Philly fans even think so but if Harden resembles something of what he was for a long time, Philly is obviously a legit contender. BKN still has injury prone guys and two flakey ones.

 

[Iggloo]

This is going to be one for the medical journals. Cured of mental illness within minutes! I am sure his players' union appointed therapist will be absolutely gobsmacked at his amazing recovery!

Honestly, that's true. It could go down as a horrible trade for Morey. Or it could go down as a stroke of genius. We shall see!

 

[flyerhawk]

Sure.

As long as he remembers he's option #2.

If he can do that, that's a frightening 1-2 punch.

But that's why the "fit" makes more sense. He will be the primary ball handler and his game would be well suited to feeding Embiid, dishing to the perimeter or shooting himself.

He doesn't have to deal with another primary ball handler(Kyrie, CP3, Russ) on the court for the first time maybe in his career.

This also puts Maxey into the 2nd team PG and starting 2 which he is probably better suited for.

At first glance, I feel like the 76ers bid against themselves. But also we don't know what type of offers were out there for Simmons. The longer he remains inactive, the less likely teams will be willing to give up additional assets to get him.

So I think the trade kind of is what it is.

Not really.

 

[Mecca]

It improves both teams. But if Simmons doesn't fix his free throw shooting, he will still be a problem in the playoffs.

He will never have to worry about taking a shot ever again...lol

He's got a roster full of shooters.

Hack-a-Ben is only a issue if the score is close.

I kind of like the deal more for the Nets.

I guess it comes down to which player (Harden/Simmons) will integrate more efficiently with their team and what kind of playoff shape will these teams be in.

The Nets had major problems and the Sixers just saved their bull shit.
1. Harden/KD/Kyrie was a horrible fit. One basketball. Nets get a unicorn that fixes their perimeter defense and doesn’t want shots.
2. Nets have a black hole at the 5 spot. Sixers give them a great small ball 5 option in Simmons plus a traditional big in Drummond who still rebounds like a mother fuck
3. Joe Harris is incredibly underrated in his ability to space for them. His injury situation leaves him 50/50 if he can come back this season and what would he be like coming back. Sixers fix that by giving them Curry who averaged 18 in the playoffs last year and can actually do things off the dribble where Harris can not.

The only thing the Sixers didn’t do was fix the fact that the Nets are being coached by a fraud who has no Fucking clue what he’s doing. Steve Nash is the only hope for the rest of the league in the Nets not winning a title.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Fuck Philly. If they get Turner...ohh no

You nailed it.

 

[The Q]

Josh Richardson is the guy everyone THINKS is going to be good but he always seems to disappoint.

He’s been solid this year, even shooting high 30s from 3

But white is the guy I wanted all along
