Have to think Sixers are going to focus some splash trade or fire Brett Brown if they end up going 6-6 or the like in January.

Paul would give phili the creation they need. They could offer horford + Zhaire. Hope Presti doesn't do it. That would be such an unlikable team.


Where does Simmons play? Trade makes no sense unless it’s a total shakeup that includes Simmons getting jettisoned


As a cutter. He's quite clever cutting to the rim and paul will find him. Should he run into traffic, he's more than capable of dishing it out. In transition, you give him the ball everytime. Thing is, you expect more from a max guy and i can imagine simmons wanting a bigger role. The trade at least makes sense for now but ben would have to be on board and at the same time have the self awareness for the need to improve his game.

We're not trading an important piece in khris for paul. On the contrary, horford in phili hasn't really panned out and financially they can make it work. I just hope presti isn't that stupid.

As I’ve been saying for a while now. I would easily take Middleton as a 2nd guy over any team not named Clippers or Lakers.
I might have to agree.

Philly isn't gonna do anything to screw up the size and length they can throw at Giannis.

Which will make a second round exit at the hands of the Heat or Celtics extremely funny.

Or even a first round exit considering how things are going in the East. Indy and Toronto have had a ton of injury issues, but are still ahead of Philly, and I don't see Boston or Miami slowing down.

He had a brain hemorrhage about a month ago or so.

Fascinating legacy.

Was at the helm when the NBA exploded and made it into a superstar-driven league. Players make the league and time has proven that. Floundered in the post-MJ era when the marketing arm was desperately trying to find the next Jordan, but came to realize superstar talent would inevitably come down the pipeline even if it wasn't wearing oversized denim and a Hitler mustache. Couldn't control his bowels during the Iverson-era and eventually clamped down on <cough> thugged out hip-hop style. Joke's on all of us, since everybody looks like a damn soundcloud rapper right down to face tats and tiny backpacks. Good job, zeitgeist.

For me, I'll remember him as the guy who helped Clay Bennett pack the Seattle luggage and affix OKC label addresses on the shipping containers. Perhaps it's not charitable to point this out on the day he passed, but he treated the public as powerless rubes and aligned himself with petrochemical vultures. He also allowed a slumlord to nearly ruin a squad residing in the nation's second-largest market, but who amongst us yada yada. Yada yada.

If any of you philistines want to talk about Tim Donehey, go ahead. If he wrote an autobiography, it should have been titled "David Stern's Turn at the Stern: A Life in Basketball."

Impossible to not think of Stern and the league's ownership of the Hornets that a trade nullified for basketball reasons. He was a tyrant who was fortunate to reign during the primes of some of the best (and most marketable) basketball players of all time.

Villainous reputation with fans, admired and adored by the players. Fascinating indeed.
