getting lavine would be a coup for the sixers at this point. a team of lonzo, derozan, simmons would be hysterical, what the hell kind of idea is that

i really want simmons so go somewhere he can play center, i need to see it

where tho?

hmm i would prefer the nets not be totally unstoppable tho

Haha that makes sense actually
― a talented ‘Rebel’ with Balls (Spottie), Wednesday, 1 September 2021 00:59 (three years ago) link
yeah they would be incredible
I’m sure the nets would be more than happy to do it but kd wouldn’t allow it
― a talented ‘Rebel’ with Balls (Spottie), Wednesday, 1 September 2021 01:00 (three years ago) link
yeah its politically untenable thank god
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 01:02 (three years ago) link
i mean i'd hate it but i would absolutely watch the hell out of it
― Clay, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 01:05 (three years ago) link
it would be interesting to see if simmons being unwilling to shoot in the 4th quarter of a playoff game could derail a team with kd and harden. it's like a thought experiment we could do in real life.

yeah wherever he goes hes really got to get his head together

were i considering making a big trade for a guy the fact that hes afraid to do basic basketball tasks in the biggest moments would def give me pause
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 01:27 (three years ago) link
yes. i really believe most ppl tweeting trades and stuff are underrating how catastrophic last season's playoffs were for him.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 01:35 (three years ago) link
simmons needs to go on a vision quest in the g league, recover the ark of the covenant or something and emerge blissful and refreshed. short of a through the wire style revelation i don't know what happens to him next season except he's a third option who pretends he's the second option being paid first option money

idg some of the Rich Paul masterminded this stuff. If he's got a grudge against the Sixers, why would Paul try and get his newly signed LaVine traded to them?

I haven’t forgotten but 2 years ago, I got booed, people in Philly wanted me to be traded. I even shushed them. Only the real ones didn’t but I just put the work in that offseason to be better cuz I knew I wasn’t playing up to my potential. Philly fans, y’all also gotta be better— Joel “Troel” Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) September 1, 2021

lol, what's with all the thin-skinned athletes suddenly crying about fans booing?
Be better? When the Simmons FT problems suddenly became acute in the playoffs, Philly fans literally cheered like madmen trying to will Simmons to make one.
I almost want Simmons to come back just so I can see the collision of his fragile ego and Philly 700-level cruelty.

people dont like too be booed it feels bad lol, and now they have social media to tell us about it

embiids post is pretty funny tho in that it can easily be read as bullying works

Dude literally has a reference to trolling in his Twitter handle and he's going to complain about fans booing. Just go home and sleep on your pile of money. I can't even.
― Taliban! (PBKR), Wednesday, 1 September 2021 15:47 (three years ago) link
in this case hes clearly trying to be a team player re the increasingly fucked up simmons situation, but anyway good luck sixers lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 15:51 (three years ago) link
in retrospect doc and joel publicly throwing ben under the bus was probably not the best

shouldve listened to me and traded him three years ago when they couldve gotten an entire team back smh when will nba execs start reading this board

Yeah I dunno. Malik Beasley I think would have some value as a piece in a trade, maybe Beverly. I doubt anyone wants D-Lo's contract and I assume KAT and the Lad are untouchable, and I feel like they'd want a player like that back

According to a source with knowledge of their situation, the Kings spoke to the Sixers weeks ago and made it clear that neither De’Aaron Fox nor Tyrese Haliburton would not be included in a possible Simmons deal.
the amount of foot-shooting from philly is really astonishing
― Clay, Thursday, 2 September 2021 05:12 (three years ago) link
if they are looking at getting pennies for simmons they should fire doc and morey and try to keep ben
― micah, Thursday, 2 September 2021 05:28 (three years ago) link
Agreed, but even so, the Kings thinking they can land Simmons without giving up one of these two guys is ridic. Would be malpractice for Philly to make such a trade.

tho im sure at this point theyre happy to see how far the simmons-philly relationship can degrade
― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 September 2021 11:38 (three years ago) link
Yeah, it's messed up for sure. Simmons also has pressure to come back and show that those playoffs were a fluke. I don't think he really wants to hold out too long.
― Taliban! (PBKR), Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:14 (three years ago) link
i'd bet simmons career peaked 1-2 seasons ago
― micah, Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:28 (three years ago) link
I wouldn't bet against that.
