Tell me what I'm saying about Ben isn't true dude.

Ben is Ben. Anyone who expected anything different at this point can only blame themselves.

But y’all going all woe is me when dudes are hitting contested threes like they are layups is hilarious.

We probably will get washed by the Nets or anyone in the playoffs. It will suck lol. But IMO this season was always going to be a reset of sorts. It is playing out just like I expected. We fixed the shooting and spxacing issues now this offseason we will probably look to fix the shot creation issues. It was never going to happen in one or two moves or even three lol. Also Embiid is our mvp for a reason... the team getting smacked in the mouth without him isn’t exactly a surprise anyway.

TLDR I am the king of the panic and even I don’t see why people are so sad and surprised every time this teams flaws show up in bad games. It happens LOL relax

Very frustrating, that you get a once in a generation talent that is available, and you don't give him up for Tyrese fricking Maxey. YOu're exactly right. Ben is Ben. You can have all the elite defenders you want, but offense always wins over defense. We'd probably have more high scoring games against us, but we'd be set for the playoffs. I wanted Lowry too but I'm not giving up the farm. Harden is someone you do that for though.

Not getting Harden was almost certainly a terrible outcome, but recent reporting is that the Houston owner wasn’t going to deal him to us because of Morey. For your sanity, I would just assume it was never realistic and that since Philly isn’t NY or LA, we have a major uphill battle for a ring.

Rockets owner was never going to deal with us

Harden was never coming to us

But Ben should have been moved halfway through his third year when his value was still high imo

So they call that Ben slight touch on Campazzo but not the bulldozing offensive foul on that screen?

Probably but I’m not sure this game thread is the time to be complaining about it

I can’t wait for us to trade Ben and for the ones crying about it to move onto Embiid.

You know they will

Can we please stop this ****. Harden was never going to be a Sixer. Every report says that Tillman has a vendetta against Morey. It wasn't going to happen. There isn't a planet where our package w/ or w/o Maxey wasn't better than the slop they got. Houston was not ever going to trade with us.

Let's face it: this franchise is never winning a title anyway. It's all bull

And probably even more due to the owners beef with Morey.

Let it go already

I refuse to lol. Ben will always be a reminder of what could have been. If he's hyper aggressive, and doing what he did in December January sure.

When I mentioned Maxey, I knew it was in addition to Thybulle and the picks.

A few extra picks is fine with me. Look what Brooklyn did. None of what I said about the outcome of that trade isn't true. That's really the bottom line. Harden is a generational talent. You have to overpay for player of that ilk. This one actually wanted to come here as opposed to Kawhi.

Stop hijacking the game thread with all of this Ben trade talk.

Not complaining stating the obvious. The bench needs more variety (better talent) in the off-season imo

You don't need to pigeon hole me into that group. I'm the biggest Embiid fan. Now it sounds like you're the one who's being emotional lol. You've been fine with standing pat for years, and it hasn't brought us anything. At some point you need to make a move.

This is where people talking about what's going on in a game. Ben's lack of production is trending since the all star break, and it's clear as day in this game. What else would you like to talk about? Doc Rivers not being flexible and not start BBall Paul?

Is this really that big of a mystery? Their best players are all poor defensively.

Trading for Gordon and McGee will help, but giving any significant minutes to MPJ is still going to be an issue.

A rumor is a rumor. Not really sure what was true. So saying that Tillman would have asked for more is also a rumor. What is the benefit now? How are we a better team? When the playoffs begin we'll be a first/2nd round exit once again.

What this has done is put us in a situation where we'll always have to overpay to get a perimeter player. I don't just blame Ben. I blame Brand for giving up Jimmy as well.

Lol you guys are hilariously fine with mediocrity. I'd like to see an actual plan to get us out of this hole, that is not better than moving heaven and earth for James Harden.
