Just tired of people spewing lies about the Philly fanbase. I feel like I proved my point and I am content with that lol


Yeah...that Philly fanbase is really known for making people feel welcome, loving ex-players and treating opposing players with complete respect.

I was shocked when the Magic picked up his team option. They could have signed him to a 3 year & $9 million deal.

I feel for the guy. But, lets let him play in a NBA game.

He has an elite skill in creating space. If he can hit shots in that space he could be an all star. This makes me sad to think about however, I'd rather have his potential than Jonathan Simmons and a fake FRP

Obviously, man. But we also saved enough money to sign Al Horford, which was the real motive for the trade. Fultz is making $10m this year and we were already on the hook for it at the time of the trade, while Simmons was expiring.

Magic have possibly the worst PG rotation in the league, if he can't find minutes down here...

I think Lloyd Free was the main person hating on Fultz. I have respect for Lloyd, but I don't agree with him here. I thought most of the fans I saw were doubtful about Fultz's future but wished him well. I've probably been the most optimistic about the likelihood of him realizing his potential among Sixers fans and will continue to root for him.

Some fans are gonna hate some are not, this is a message board people. Move on...

Well then it's great that you're not the GM of the 76ers. Your take is dim. The point of the trade had nothing to do with Jonathan Simmons or the fake FRP. The trade was to get off the 10 million dollar option that was going to impede the 76ers from improving the team, in the last summer they will ever have capspace. Jonathan Simmons wasn't a player, he was a matching, expiring salary. Think.

The Warriors, Heat, Suns all SENT OUT 1st round picks to get rid of (10-17million) salaries. Elton Brand received three (3) 2nd round picks to GET RID of 10 million in wasted salary.

As with all predictions that you’re asking us to hold you to, the only thing that matters is—what’s the consequence if you’re wrong? If you’re ‘calling’ this there needs to be a consequence, otherwise it’s empty and your word doesn’t mean anything.

Well, you would had to have given up Horford to keep Fultz

Maybe not always, but it's a hell of a lot easier to be happy when you can pay your bills, drive around in a nice car, live in an oceanside mansion, pay for your kid's college, not have a boss, and basically live stress free.

Tell a homeless person that money doesnt buy happiness and they will probably beg to differ.

yes from your point of view if you had all of your needs met, THEN you could be happy

but what about meeting the bills for a Lambo and a mansion and expensive trips and private college for your kids etc

money doesn't just grow on trees for rich people, what happens if they have huge cash flows stopped for some reason? what if they
get divorced and their ex wife takes half of their assets? what if they get terminally ill?

there are still many things that can go wrong, which brings me back to my original point that your inner confidence and ability to work through problems is much more valuable than any amount of money could ever be

Then those rich people have assets they can sell to turn a profit and still be waaaaay well off compared to the homeless person who has nothing. You're talking about lambos and expensive trips. How in the world does that help your point?

You are fixating primarily upon money, just because a person is rich does not mean they don't have stress or problems. I am merely coming up with random examples off the top of my head as someone who doesn't experience such a lifestyle. No matter how rich you are, money can never save you from substance abuse. No amount of money for therapy will force you to fundamentally change your psychology. No amount of money will fill the void in your life if you feel empty. No amount of money will give you meaningful relationships be it marriage, friendship, etc in fact money could make those things even more challenging due to people faking authentically having interest due to the financial benefit. No amount of money will save you from genetic health disorder that is incurable. I could go on and on and on listing problems and stresses that money will never fix (or currently can not be fixed)
