Ben Simmons will definitely get X-Pac heat the next time he comes to Wells Fargo Center.

Ben just got tired of doing what he’s supposed to do…

Naw, he still enjoys passing out of open dunks when guarded by a guy the size of an average middle schooler. He just wants people to love him for it.

Can we make Ben Simmons threads after he's traded to discuss his shooting progress?

Fingers crossed the other interested teams get more and more desperate.

We would be obligated to start a Fultz thread as well then, no?

I’m pretty confident we can find something else to complain about on a fairly consistent basis. :lol:

I don't think so. Ben has achieved the ultra-exclusive '10 trade thread' status, which comes with lifetime thread opportunities.

There might be an 11th before the deadline, too.

If he's still here after the deadline... who knows what number it will be by June.

If he gets to 20, I understand that a RealGM plaque will be presented, and will greet us anytime we log in here. A fitting tribute to a public forum legend.

You think you can tell us what to do? You think you can tell us what to wear?

If the goal is Embiid-Harden-Haliburton, seems like we’d still have enough ammo in the warchest in the form of picks and swaps to get a fourth stud at the February 2023 deadline.
