That entire thing was so funny

I love how teams keep drafting skinny rim runners in the first round yet a dude like Norvelle Pelle can literally be just as effective for peanuts.

for all of the good that Elton has done, the Tobias trade was just so so bad. Really could be the downfall of this team's ability to go from steady contender to actual championship caliber.

Monumental misjudgment of Tobias' upside and value.

Was the trade even that bad?

Landry Shamet is a one dimensional shooter. Our 2020 1st round pick will be in the late 20s. The Miami pick now that Jimmy is locked up will probably be in the late-teens, early 20s, as well.

I think Neto over Burke at this point. Though if Brown wanted to just play Richardson at the point and give Korkmaz or Shake some minutes or even OQuinn a little more run it'd be hard to argue. Lot of guys playing well.

Yeah, let's just jettison all the PGs from our roster and stick with wings on the court at all times. No point in keeping lesser players just because they have the size the position typically calls for.

We have enough passing from Simmons, Embiid, Horford, O'Quinn, etc.

I've never seen a player block 4 two-handed dunks in a game, let alone in one quarter. Pelle got each one of them clean too.

to me it's less about who we gave up, but who we got in return.

Tobias is not good enough. He's not a max player. He's gonna be an albatross for years to come.

I've seen it in Slamball.

Yeah, Burke doesn't look like anything. I'm surprised by that. The 76ers are gonna need to get a better playmaker for the bench, in case of injury to Simmons.

If Tobi is pumping in 16-18 ppg on 38%+ three point shooting during deep playoff runs (possibly even culminating in a championship), him being paid $10-12m per year more than he's worth in vacuum won't matter.

Everybody being hard on Tobias during this preseason need to relax...the dude is going to put up an efficient 20ppg and 7rbs and 3ast during the season. He has a huge contract yes and sure he looks to be overpaid but he is our third option on offense. He will have games where he flourishes big time, and he will have his games where he struggles but he is poised for a big year. Everybody still complaining about what we gave up should just relax. He is a decent player a boarder line allstar.

Im honestly expecting him to average career highs across the board. You all need to take a backseat and watch what he does this year before we call out EB on the trade.
