Again, fair enough

The problem is that he’s got a 4 year contract not anything that he said about Joel in that latest leak


Joel hates taking 3's he only does it because we have a PG who can't shoot. He actually developed his game around Ben.

This whole narrative that Ben wasn't given the keys is just nonsense this team has coddled him non-stop it's honesly largely why we find ourselves where we do

They will probably ask for maxey as well if it’s the beal trade

I truly don’t see a deal between Philly and Washington, Beal probably isn’t signing that extension and costing himself money, trading Ben+ for an expiring is an insane risk. Especially if you trade 4 years of Ben and 7-8 years of Maxey for him and he walks

Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean anything. Beal can make more money if he waits until the off-season to resign. The only reason he’d sign for less now would be security. Or I suppose if he wanted to get traded this off-season instead of next? But he’s getting paid even if he’s hurt at this point honestly. So doesn’t make any sense for him to sign the extension.

I like how responding to a leak from your camp is somehow a diss against you.

The fact that people want Biid to lie is pretty insane.

Nothing he has said was a lie…. Including saying he likes playing with Ben. You can want to play with some and still calm them out on their bull. Just like you can think Ben has issues and yet not want to just take whatever for him.

It’s not rocket science

Good to see Embiid calling out Bum Simmons, let's get him out of Philly ASAP!

No, no, it must be lying to protect Ben's feelings 24/7 or you are throwing him under the bus he doesn't know how to drive, and that makes him so sad he has to go into hiding.

With Brett fired and now soon Simmons traded, this team will finally be enjoyable again, can't wait to root for Sixers instead of having to see two Bums ruin our team.

Joel is on record saying he wants to model his game after KD. Not sure where you made up this nonsese from?

Maybe Brand was based and wanted Kawhi and Jimmy Buckets.


He would have traded Simmons for Rudy Gobert and slid Horford down to small forward

Let’s assume after this all blows over, Ben stays basically the same player he’s been over his career: elite defense, 16/8/8, 60% FT%, refuses to shoot. Does he get another max contract when the time comes?

Yes, but not a Bird right max. An Elton Brand max.

Simmons for Fultz, Isaac, FRP and salary?

Great to see Embiid keeping it real.

Bitch ass Simmons has to finally hear the truth from someone.

    There’s still Doc

    At least he gets it with Joel completely and will put him in position to be an mvp candidate year after year. He’s average and not great at PR but so far so good on Joel. Hopefully year two with Tobias will keep in the right direction as well
