Joel Embiid - The Prophecy is Realized

One thing about Colangelo is they know the trend of the game. They built the 8 secs or less Phx suns. Barg was a disappointment but you look around and all centers are playing like him while teams go away from guys like LMA. Fultz is close to the prototype PG in today’s positionless, PnR and ISO heavy NBA. I can see colangelo not liking Biid and his heavy post offense.

BUT.. I dont think the writings are at the wall that Biid is out. I still think and really hope that Biid will bounce back. Because I know a healthy Biid with this squad is a championship team.

Guys are acting like Biid is Greg Monroe. He isnt going anywhere.

The organization messed up by not putting shooters around him and signing a Al horford. Embiid is also 10 pounds too heavy and needs a leader on the team with him. I still believe hes raw in terms of basketball.

Are starting lineup is comprised of no player with complete guard skills. Big men rely on guards.

Wouldn’t trade Embiid, still hope and if he gets it all together, it’s mental and so bad that both our top 2 players need help there... what is rest of support staff doing? Great running stats and numbers but the game is mental/emotional as well. What are we doing on this side of the game with sports psychologists, mentors, assistant and head coaches...

Very interested to how Embiid reacts to the negative booing. Ben has had this for ages and it’s been evidenced by all star votes. Horford knows he is hated, team gets it a lot but this may be the first time that fans have turned on Joel...

I think he will do positively. He always needs a challenge and reminds me of his college basketball nemesis who did him wrong... prove us all wrong Joel

I was so wrong about not wanting to max out Jimmy because he's old and will fall apart.

Because now all the betas teamed up on our remaining alpha and are trying to chase him outta town too.

We should have kept Jimmy and Joel together and ousted everyone who they didn't approve of from players to coaches.

And that ladies and gentleman... is the "leader" of our team.

He is making himself really hard to like.

Not this take. Jimmy Butler was never re-signing with the 76ers. He wanted to go to Miami all along and Minnesota refused to deal with Miami so he had to go through Philly to get to where he wanted.

And are people seriously suggesting that they should have sacked Brett Brown after getting to the Eastern Conference Semis and not running it back again? and dumping a 23 year old Ben Simmons for a 30 year old Jimmy Butler? :lol:

Yes because Brett Brown is a mediocre at best/terrible at worst coach and Ben Simmons is a defensive player with assisted point production and passing. He's not a real baller.

Jo's just trolling. Relax. (And if I'm in denial, it won't be any less devastating)

Running it back included Jimmy Butler though.
