The Process

[ice grillin you]

there no way to spin that trade as anything but the glass is full...

fully shattered

fultz pick was supposed to be the third piece to jo jo and ben to complete the process and be playing for a nba title about now...the trickle down for that trade is painful as well...you dont need to trade for or sign tobias if you have that third piece...id say horford as well but that dumb farg brand probably would have signed him anyway

they traded:

#1 in 2017
#14 in 2019

for

#25ish in 2020
#31 in 2020

Colangelo can get farged

so sad that a low first round pick gives me more hope than watching them play the celtics.

Raul Neto impersonating an actual NBA player tonight.

[phattymatty]

I can't pick the Sixers to not win tonight.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I really hope they make it a good series. I'm not holding my breath but if they can have Dominant Jojo and not have Horford shtein all over himself maybe they'll have a shot.

[phattymatty]

I'm torn because Ben Simmons on the fast break and passing and dunking is my favorite player to watch.

Granted the last few bubble games were pretty much exhibition but man the offense runs better without him standing around the half court doing nothing.

It's taken me longer than most but if this team runs better without him, I'm behind a trade for Ben.  Especially if they somehow win this series.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Agreed.

If they can make it work without him I'd see what he can get. I don't have much confidence in him ever developing the jump shooting part of the game.

[ice grillin you]

short of jo jo losing his mind and going off for a 40/20 series sixers have no chance

what they will miss about Ben is his defense... it's borderline elite and will be sorely missed against Kemba and their wings any of which Ben can switch to...to this point thybulle is going to have to be huge defensively cause no one else in the team is even an above average perimeter defender

gonna be fun watching brad stevens okie doke brett one last time

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ok first quarter

Too many turnovers though. And a lot of standing at the arc

[phattymatty]

they have no idea how to run a play.  or dribble.

they still win tonight.

josh richardson isnt very good at basketball

[PhillyPhreak54]

Tatum can't miss

Horford can't play basketball

Muted and on the small tv.  For the Democratic Convention.

That's how far the 76ers have fallen this year.
