Welcome Ben Simmons?

What do you make of Ben’s comment to the Athletic that if he ever got traded he wants to come back to Philly? Cause it’s his “second home”. What’s up with that? Its so damn crazy, I think I’d trade Harden back for him in a heartbeat.

Honestly I think this is the plot twist 76ers need right now. No one seeing this coming

He said he'll be a different player this year, so I don't see any downside.

He never had a beef with the city and I think that his parents still live there

Howard beck said harden to Brooklyn is a possibility. This is wild beyond words

This is like Larsa Pippen returning to Scottie Pippen after being in a relationship with Marcus Jordan.

It’s not going to happen

Simmons is crocked until proven otherwise and Tsai hates Harden

Clickbait

I don't think Simmons is cooked. He had the ball taken out of his hands in Brooklyn. I'd do this as crazy as this sounds.

Negrodamus · Post #16 » by **Negrodamus** » Wed Aug 30, 2023 10:58 am

Ben needs the ball taken out of his hands. He’s a bad point guard who had the entire offense curtailed to his flawed style. He’s a role player (then again, half the board wants role players for Harden)

We have come full circle, and I want to throw up. People forget how bad it was with Ben. Now he's never going to be as athletic as he was, and that was the one elite thing he had along with his passing. You have the added spectre of him shrivelling up into his dick either during the season, or more likely in the playoffs. Plus given the tension between Jo and him, even though they might say they';ll bury the hatchet, and I think it's the final nail in the coffin with Embiid asking out when it goes south.

Just no lol.

I do wonder if the Nets would take Harden back?

Harden and Tucker to BKN
Lonzo, Day'ron Sharpe, and 24 NYK 2nd to CHA
Simmons and 27 PHI 2nd to CHI
Hayward, Caruso, Drummond, and 27 PHI 1st to PHI

This is hilarious, I know you posted this as a joke, but seriously why the hell would they (the source) post this. He probably hit an open jumper to start off, probably not in a game, and then literally the rest of the clip doesn't have him in there once. Ugghg, and people are thinking about taking him on again. What is going on??

Just saw this. Outline should be Simmons goes to a third team, Harden and Tucker go to BKN, and the Sixers get expirings and their 27 pick back from BKN. Maybe they can squeeze another 1st out of BKN too? I wouldn't push it too much, though. The drama needs to end. The NBA is a narrative league, and the narrative on the Sixers is that they are dysfunctional. Going into a summer where their goal is to sign a max FA.
