So, Joel Embiid called his minutes restriction bull and now Fultz's team is publicly calling out the org. What's next? I'm sure we're gonna piss off Klutch soon.

That doesn't jive with what Fultz said though. Prior to any of the injury news he said he was working on a new shooting form, but would switch back to his college one during the season.

I'm completely confused now though. Maybe as some have said, the shot was changed because of the shoulder, much makes the most sense.

The Sixers’ account of Fultz shoulder has changed multiple times, Fultz’ camp has remained steady in that the shot was changed because of discomfort shooting. I’m kind of going with the more obvious and likely reason -that’s discomfort- why would he suddenly change his shooting form otherwise? Alternatively, why would changing his form cause a shoulder injury, as BC suggested (LOL)?

June 17. Lol. When he was in prime, apparently.

He probably hurt his shoulder, continued playing through it (when the Sixers should have rested him), changed his shooting mechanics, and now he messed his shot up. Colangelo is trying to save face by saying the injury happened after he changed his shot.

This is incredible. Of all the botched situations the Sixers has been through, and there have been a lot, I think this one takes the cake.

This organization is a joke. A complete joke. They can't do anything right.

Can we get Sam and his wall of utter silence back now. Good thing the team is so good with the media now, sigh. Colangidiot.

This is getting ugly. I wonder if he'll demand a trade.

Very doubtful he requests a trade. I don't think it will get that crazy.

Colangelo and Harris better be careful. If they start alienating players against the organization.............

Here is a link to Fultz trainer audio: http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/omnystudio.com/d/clips/4b5f9d6d-9214-48cb-8455-a73200038129/0f9a021f-2ef5-4b1d-b630-a78e00b5c24b/a39759dc-d099-4019-bb97-a817016898e5/audio.mp3?utm_source=Podcast&in_playlist=8f19caa8-7d98-4060-b435-a78e00b5c24b

So I'll say this, I think it's only injury now that I've heard from both sides. The only way it's not is if the trainer is blowing smoke up our ass, which is definitely possible. But his comment of "there haven't been may point guards who shot the ball as well as he has out of college. Why would I" is definitely convincing. I just can't understand why Brett is doubling down on Colangelo's musings about him changing his shot. I would have loved it if they got on the same damn page before going out and spouting nonsense and conflicting reports.

This is a sh*tshow. When Fultz is back they need to ask him if he changed it or not and everything. Have him and Brown and Coleangelo together and have a press conference so all 3 can answer the questions and if there is a contradiction then we can get to the bottom of it right there.

fultz' trainer is legit. keith williams is the reason why i have 100% confidence in fultz's jump shot

Negrodamus · Post #700 » by **Negrodamus** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 11:02 pm

Yea, this Keith Williams interview is pretty revealing. I'm just hoping we can get past this divisive BS that this organization orchestrated. Could have shut this down very early.
