Great ball movement from Atlanta. They look so poised out there

westbrook and ben on the court at the same time? please make that happen just for the memes.


... like it isn't obvious that a Beal trade would signal a complete rebuild for Washington that would likely have Westbrook dealt to the highest bidder.


who is taking him tho - that's a huge deal.

like nobody's going around posting "could've had something for Lowry but now you missed the playoffs and might lose him for nothing" every opportunity

If the Sixers flame out of the playoffs again...not having Lowry means more than the team missing the playoffs and losing him for nothing.

And to be honest...we had him for his best years. Can't be mad at that.

I'm pretty sure the offers Masai got are because you got Lowry for his best years, too

That may be somewhat true...but his market value is for teams playing for now (and for the next couple of years)...and as of right now...he's still an excellent 3rd option on offence, smart defender and distributor...all things you need in order to move on in the playoffs.

If you are able to plug Lowry into your starting line-up instead of Danny Green or Seth Curry or Korkmaz...it's an instant upgrade. Between Simmons and Lowry...you'd have bodies to throw against Young and not sacrifice in shooting, passing and IQ.

If you are contending for now and the window of the next couple of years...this is a trade you make.

Hawks can go small and force Embiid to cover space, which no doubt tires him out offensively

Today's NBA is killing me! Go to the **** rack! Simmons had a wide path and he stopped at the 3 point line to dump off on a charge. Bruhhhhhh

I’ve heard embiid is so good defensively but all I’ve seen is him picked on in the p&r by young

The problem with using Simmons and Thybulle to guard Trae is you put ZERO pressure on him defensively... and he's the Hawks weakest defender. Sixers should be attacking Trae on offense.

Hawks are kind of a scary team when they're feeling themselves.

Even more impressed by Atl withstanding the sixers and the refs at once. This is near rigging level bias.

Good work vision crew

Cut off the replay of Trae's move to see footage of players sauntering into their huddle

Who hires these people?
