No, it's really smart.

Just crudely tanking does not take any kind of smarts

I was just thinking today. You know what would be the most Sixersy thing ever?

Embiid and Simmons making their debut on fan appreciation night.

Of course he is. Keep selling those tickets Scott and stringing the fans along

This is just so dumb. He practiced fine and he felt great but he's doubtful?

This type of blatant tanking results in bad karma like the Okafor draft imo.

They only play him 25 mins away so why not let him play? There's only like 20 something games left anyway.

Good thing karma isn't real. We blatantly tanked last year and got the top pick. And in 2015 we still had the 3rd pick. That's good. We didn't have the worst record that year so how was it bad karma in 20-5? We had the 3rd worst record and stood pat.

Ben Simmons getting injured on the last day of training camp can be considered as a bad karma

No it can't. We still have him. Stop reaching. Karma isn't real.

Sixers fans on full suicide watch.

They want that top 3 pick. Can't think of another reason otherwise.

The reason? The team played him against Houston when the injury was still acute because it was national TV. Now the recovery time is extended. Effing beautiful.

It's a week. March 3rd is when he's hoping to play.
