Not only would he have elevated their ceiling, Harden has now turned a direct Eastern Conference rival into the favorites to make the Finals, and it's not even close anymore.

Philly's mistake isn't that they could've been better as much as they allowed their competition to get significantly better.




I get what they're doing though, they're going to figure out how to get another star player while keeping Simmons. They have all their picks and could put together a package for the next disgruntled star, because they won't need those picks moving forward.

I can see why you rather have Jokic, cause he’s having a crazy season too. I just prefer Embiid cause he plays on both ends.

It was obvious he was gonna become a star.

Guys who improve year after year are dangerous. I guess Randle fits that description too, minus the Fizz hell.

Lavine took off after they got rid of Boylen. Same way with Randle and Fizdale. Boylen and Fiz were the worst coaches in the league by far. The crazy part is that Billy Donovan isn’t that good of a coach either. It just shows how bad Boylen was :lol:

I know :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's amazing two coaches as bad as Boylen and Fiz coached at the same time.

They're generational busts :lol:

Just a friendly reminder, we'd have to go through the Sixers if we trade for LaVine, and they have a defender who has held him to 9-28 from the field right now.

Simmons on Randle
Thybulle on LaVine
Embiid on Mitch playing free satefy

We lose in 4, maybe 5.

Hope you're right, we need them to block Brooklyn's road to the Finals. Morey definitely has some assets and you know he's on the trade machine all day.
