Just moving him so he can’t do his end of game ISOs would make them better.

Powell is actually a good fit for them off the bench.imo because he can create some offense when Maxey and/or Embiid sit.

Still beats having him being a giant distraction for that entire roster and organization for the next 4-6 months. I honestly think this is gonna get worse/uglier than the Simmons saga if they don't move him soon. It's a 34-year old, expiring Harden with no motivation to stay in game shape while he sits out. No one's increasing their offers.


Send him home then. He's only a distraction if you allow him to be one.


Eh, that doesn’t always work-out in philly

Harden doing a shirtless workout in his driveway would be amazing.

Harden doing a workout in the driveway of a strip club would be more his speed.

Wemba is fun to watch

Dawg Wemby is insane lol. The LeBron/Kareem level prospect stuff isn’t crazy. He just needs to stay healthy.

Gobert on defense with the ability to put it on the ground and soft touch from all around the floor. That might just be his floor too.

Truly is his only concern IMO. It was just like Zion. Both prospects are freaks, but their body types don't lend themselves well to staying injury free. Not saying it will happen, nor do I want it to, but odds are certainly higher than your typical #1 overall guys.

I think Wemby plays smart enough to avoid it though, at least from what I've seen. Play smart and he'll be top 5 in no time. Generational indeed and why I had no issue with GMs picking him as the player to build around over Giannis and Jokic. Oh, and he's only ****ing 19!

Wemby with a big stat line and the Spurs win 120-104 over the Heat. Teasing us.

Even just this first play of the game for a 7'5" dude is silly. It wasn't a fantastic play or anything, but the dude is 7'5". Like, what?



He isn't just freakishly tall. He's an athlete.

Wemby is ridiculous. I still just can't trust the body. The list of dudes that tall to have a long career would be, well.......him, the lone exception.

I’m not a Lebron lover, but all the talk about Wemby being a “generational talent,” and body type, and Zion, and injuries…. does make me reflect on the incredible unlikelihood that Lebron was going to play 20+ years, stay out of trouble, win multiple titles, etc. Fans and media are so quick to equate “elite talent” with the rigors, luck, and dedication required to be an all timer. Just pointing out I think its really cool when a guy given those expectations carries through on them and delivers.

The Lebron vs Jordan debate really caused a stir of emotions towards Lebron. You mentioned it but what Lebron accomplished as an NBA player, without any serious off court issues, given the expectation placed on him, is nothing short of remarkable

Eaton played 11 seasons, age 25-36, Manute Bol played ten, 23-33.

They were very different than Wemby, though, didn't touch the ball at all.

He's incredible. I can't believe how quickly he's picked up playing in an NBA offense.

I'm grateful we have one of the few guys that match up on him well/will beat him up. I hope he stays healthy.

I just saw some of Wemby's highlights and damn he is impressive! In some he looks like young Giannis, in others he looks like Durant and he is hustling a lot on defense, both at the rim and in the perimeter using all of his length. I don't know the Spurs total asset pool but I think in 3-4 seasons they might be able to be contenders again if they manage to bring a 2nd all star.

Other than his health we have to wait and see if he can play like this for +35 minutes and how he can handle the foul trouble because teams will target him a lot in the first few years.

Spurs make the playoffs I think Wemby has a chance to win MVP
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.
