Philly has to move Simmons, they need another wing that can score. Trae Young in the ECF at age 22, on a team with one of the lowest payrolls in the league.

They need a DeRozan type of guy.

Trae Young is a good one to have involved in Marv Alberts last televised series.

 

[WalkingCY]

Bye Embiid.

 

[Bigman38]

I wonder if Young prefers playing on the road in games like this. He always looks like he loves being the bad guy.

 

[madguy30]

Bucks - Hawks, Suns - Clippers. Just like we all predicted.

Sign me up for the randomness.

Khris Middleton

Khris Middleton

Idk if Embiid would want to play Robin to an Elite player like Kris Middleton.

Simmons was damn near invisible that game. He's supposed to be one of your leaders. And yes he had some assists, but he was so tentative.

Absolutely.

Haven't seen someone embrace Madison Square Garden like that since Reggie.

Hey, there were at least 5 times where he ripped the ball away from someone after the whistle blew, hard to replace that dominance and intimidation.

I was going to post that he was awful fake tough tonight.

Clippers, Suns, Hawks, or Bucks are your NBA champion. What a time to be a live.

The previous generation of stars are still great. But the switch has flipped to "next" just like that.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Philly has no one to blame but them. You can't blow a 20 plus 4th quarter lead at home (game 5).

I think Bucks easily dispose of Atlanta. I think it's Bucks in 4 or 5.

Where do you move him to? Who needs a big contract guy that can't score and shoots FT's worse than Shaq? Maybe if a team was preparing for a Philly style tank they'd take on Simmons with several draft picks to sweeten the deal.

 

[HFCS]

Absolutely.

It's funny opposing fans hate him but I love the guy.

Usually I go along with the guy random fans hate.

And we did all have a few years where he was ISU's "bad guy" and I didn't mind him then either.

Sorry, I just can’t like Trae Young. His time at OU tainted me. Also, he 100% had gotten hair plugs since getting into the NBA.

So...hair plugs are where you draw the line? Not a fan of LeBron then I assume?

Same here. Will never cheer for the captain of the OU floor slappers.

Someone will always take a contract off your hands, he's a really good player he is just an awful fit for what they have. You can sell him pretty easy IMO but he's losing value with every game like tonight.

Ugh bringing back memories of Doolittle floor slapping.
