Embiid's not offended by this, though. In fact, he used to play up the stereotype.

Having Colangelo at the helm with so much at stake really makes me nervous and uneasy.
Colangelo is a great gm. His biggest issue was he held onto bargnani for too long and felt like no free agents would come to toronto so he always overpaid. he definitely did not surround bosh with enough talent and the first domino out should have been bargnani. Colangelo is an elite drafter and risk taker.
Well I sure hope you are right.

Honeslty, I dont think even billy king could **** up the sixers, theyre in great position. better than milwaukee boston and toronto. the key to beating cleveland is to play big and rebound. philly should try and trade jahlil to boston for jaylen brown

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Hopefully no injuries. Simmons and Embiid tandem should be tantalizing. I would do that trade with Boston, but something tells me, they wouldn't be so happy about it.

I'm in love with Embiid's potential, but that just sounds crazy to me.

yeah Im not even disappointed as a division rival, embiid is one lovable dude. There is no rebuilding necessary after this year for the sixers. I didnt watch much of simmons in college but I heard he cannot shoot. he needs to fix that if he wants to be a pf in this game. He needs to work on complimenting embiid. I think a veteran PG could fit nicely on the sixers if they throw money. If im lowry or isaiah thomas or even cp3, i would consider signing on that sixer team next year. Prior to embiid, I would say its crazy and delusional to think a 1 yr player could be on a championship contender but joel embiid is a genius and gifted athlete. Nowadays more bigs are picking up the game alot quicker, kind like towns, zinger and turner

At the end of the day, he is being REAL and saying what he wants. He is his own person, and us Philly fans love it. Keep it up JoJo!
Looks like he removed the geotag btw...
Good for him if he removed. He has to realise this is not college anymore, the words he is saying or he is writing on social media, can have serious consequences, from the league, other team fans and even players.
“In the back of my head I think, ‘This is going to backfire at some point,’” Embiid said. “But before that day comes, I’m going to keep on going. When that day comes, I’m going to stop.”

Plan is to have Simmons play PG abuse opponent's PG (via switch or individual D) and switch all screens.
After Simmons and Biid, Sixers need to acquire multiple top tier 3&D via Okafor, Noel, 2017 Sixers&LAL picks and FA.

They could get some in the free agency. Hill, Pope, Jrue, Otto, Reddick, Thabo.
