**** that nonsense you were messing around the entire season not playing any of your stars more than 25 mpg, after your got stuck with that 40% of cap contract for a player that has no jumpshot and then you mismanaged your assets and traded back to back first round picks to acquire Embiid which is illegal

This is fake news. Rookie year Ben Simmons stunk in the sim, this was pre Oladipo breakout & LeVert/Ball had 2 star ratings. My team stunk and I played all my starters 26-28 MPG just like I STILL do. It’s my strategy.

Future is bright in the Chi.
He has one good game after weeks of underperforming and now you post this?
He has had a disappointing mediocre year thus far. He is in the Knox category of regression and/or not living up to the expections of a year 2 jump.
Stop tryna manufacture a top notch trade return for him as the deadline approaches.

Caaaaaaaap.....
I felt your Issac pain- it worked out for me and for you as well no:
The Magic announced that Isaac has suffered a hyperextended left knee in the moment, but on Thursday, they added that he had suffered both a posterior lateral corner injury and a bone contusion. He will be re-evaluated in 8-10 weeks, but fortunately, he suffered no damage to his ACL, MCL or PCL ligaments.
