Ben circle jerk lets go!

Ben still has the fastest “straight” line speed... but sports aren’t played in straight lines.

Funny when he hits top gear which is crazy fast he has to slow down within a sec because he’s at the end of court.

Ben is above average during the regular season when teams do not have a great deal of time to scheme, WELL BELOW average during the playoffs.

I’d love to see Ben on a team who’s not a contender while playing along side 4 guys who can shoot. I think he can revert back to that SL league version of Ben.

And once that happens, people would start to overrate him and say that he’s one of the most promising players in the league.nAnd I wouldnt mind. Because I know he can never be THAT guy on our team.

That said.. if you are a fan of other team, what are your offers for Ben?

What specifically caused your confidence in Morey to wane slightly? The Simmons situation?

Ben’s been found out on that side of the ball.

Watch on YouTube

That game 3 was so good. Casual 18&7 with a steal, but whenever Ben decides to conduct out of the low-post like an Aussie Jokic it's poetic to watch.

The season before last, I thought Ben was developing a really nice post game, before he got hurt. Passing and cutting. Don’t exactly remember if it made things any more crowded for Jo, though he’s saying he wants Ben back.

You mean the Wolves? Minnesota fans want to see that too. But only for 3 scrubs and a couple protected picks :lol:

Ok.

Spurs, what’s your counter offer?

Kobblehead · Post #1751 » by **Kobblehead** » Mon Sep 20, 2021 3:43 pm

Hield is a bomber
Ross is a bomber
Haliburton is a bomber with defense and passing (longterm piece).

I feel like that's as good as it's going to get. I'd pull the trigger.

Incredible offensive fit. Three pieces that can help us right away (one of which is longterm keeper).

Read on Twitter

Someone comments in the thread and said the Sixers would still need to throw in more salaries to make it work. I’m not for or against, but if both Simmons and Harris went out in a trade where Wall comes back, along with a young asset from a third team, and a bunch of the Brooklyn/Houston/Third team picks, it might be worth exploring.

Kobblehead · Post #1753 » by **Kobblehead** » Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:02 pm

Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris for John Wall and Eric Gordon works salary-wise. We'd need like 5 first round picks coming back our way, though.

Lol, what a journey it's been since the Harden trade.

Not just the wolves. A lot of possible teams.

I though SAC has repeatedly said that Halliburton is untouchable.

But they just drafted a guard to go with Fox…

And we need to put Embiid in a cryochamber like wesley snipes in demolition man. Then when Embiid wakes up its 2028 and we have the five first round picks ready to compete with him.

They’re trying to do this 3 guard line-up that the league is trending to. Looking at Haliburton maybe at SF. I know one of their assistant coach he used to coach in our country.

It'll actually be hilarious when we do that and they add Kevin Porter Jr (no picks). Three guys they pulled off the trash heap for Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris. Immediately contend with Jalen Green and Josh Christopher.

We lose in the second round next year while the Rockets are on their way to contending by Green's second year. Kevin Porter throws cashews at Jaden Springer and puts him in the ICU due to an unknown nut allergy; we're forced to cut him. Just Sixers stuff.
