Embid says Ben Who?

Whoever advising Ben is really fucking up. Philly has all the juice, all the cards. Ben has none. He will end up broken financially or emotionally, not good for a player who has already shown a complete inability to handle NBA pressure. Distraction for Philly? On the contrary, what wonderful and luscious motivation...

This Just IN

Lauren Rosen: Andre Drummond   "I'll be out the rest of preseason for mental health reasons. When Embid said he kicked my butt, that was the last straw. He also tries to score on me during practice scrimmages. Can you believe it? What a dick. I can see why Ben was scared to come back here."

lol lol lol, you can keep on about Embid this, Embid that, but he carried that m'fn team.

Simmons had to be removed...he didn't want to touch the ball, he didn't want to shoot, he quit playing basketball...his run and hide fourth quarters across seven games may represent the most disgraceful playoff failure in the entire history of the league!


So the _____ to the Knicks rumor is always a given whenever a high profile player comes into play.


Yet the Simmons to the Knicks rumor never came up....because everybody knows the org doesn't want anything to do with the cowardly piece o&%&%*&^ and that he couldn't survive a week in the Garden.


"I will never play for the 76ers again!!!!!!....UNTIL I'M ON THE VERGE OF LOSING ANOTHER MILLION"


lol, lol....I betchu that m'fer develops some kind of groin strain and tries to keep collecting that check from afar rather than face the fans again in Philly, you best believe it!

In fact I'm pretty sure he strained his groin when he walked through the door to get his covid test!

lol, where's the asshole part?

If Ben the simpering coward Simmons had even 1/3 the competitive spirit and any inkling to grow his game they'd have a ring already.

Embiid did not play well in big stretches of the series they lost

lol, lol if you say so...might have helped if he and his teammates x-Ben weren't playing 4 v 5 on offense every single fourth quarter...

I'd be very happy to run this season with what we got.

And maybe we will, but I'd be mildly surprised if we made it through without a significant move, and extremely so through the summer.

There is a plan. It's not get to ____X and sit and spin. It's not sit and watch 'em grow.

The brain trust means business. Keep upgrading. Win every trade. Get Better. Better. Better. Flex, depth and assets for when the big one calls, the medium one or the small.

But no worries, they seem quite talented. There will be no Eddy Curry2 or Bargnani2 or Melo2 fiascos.

Just don't get tooooooooo attached to stuff.

Basketball / It's called "the plan'
« on: October 07, 2021, 08:12:13 AM »

One theory is Knix are stocking up on depth in order to pull off a trade for a star in the next year or two.   Possibilities as of now: Simmons, Lillard, Beal.  Who knows who will be available over the next year or two.

I'd say slightly more than "one theory" as everybody knows it and Leon Rose has said it...:)

Nope.

Thibs has his focus on one thing. Winning game 1. Game 2. Then game 3.

A lot of run for the rooks in preseason not really relevant to that objective. Integrating Kemba & Fournier is. Polishing second unit w/Quickley, Burks & Toppin, yes.

That said there will surely be ankles, knees, rest days and opportunities.

What a joy last night was..and not just because of our boys, but because the foul hunting was nowhere to be found, the unnatural perversions by which Harden tried to destroy the beautiful game, clearly on the way out. Hopefully the new rules stick.


**** And wow what a difference ZERO MINUTES of putrid Payton makes. Wow. Wow. Wow. 48 minutes of pleasure coming up 82 times!

NBA players have a right not to get vaccinated.  NBA employers have a right not to have unvaccinated people in their workplace.  I don't think Kyrie, Wiggins, Isaac can work from home ...  Those guys just need to find another job that'll pay them $20M a year.


I have little doubt these players will receive their full salaries


I had little doubt you would be wrong as you are nine times out of eight.

Good luck with that.

lol lol lol...you are, in fact, lol, the dumbass of the millenium, yet again (and that's no easy feat)!

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have agreed to a reduction in pay of 1/91.6 of a player's salary for each game an unvaccinated player misses because of local COVID-19 vaccine mandates, sources told ESPN, a decision that stands to impact Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving.....who, if unable to participate in home games, would lose roughly $380,000 per game -- which would become more than $15 million if he doesn't get vaccinated at any point this season.
