I still think the 76ers have 1-2 years left with Embiid and Simmons both on the squad if Embiid continues to be injury project and out of condition and Been doesn't continue to develop.

Embiid was in amazing shape throughout the entire regular season. Then after the All Star break he started having the knee tendinitis and they rested him a bunch down the stretch and that ****** him. The issue with Embiid is he gets out of shape quick. So once he started missing a bunch of those practices and games his body was done for.
 
Embiid's career is really mirroring yao mings. Amazing players but wont be a full 82 game season player in their prime. If I'm not mistaken they both had the same surgery on their foot.

Yes, but Yao was forced to play in China every summer. It's scary that its a similar injury and they are similar sizes, but the Sixers are taking every precaution possible to extend his career (which wasn't done with Yao), i believe big Z also had it early in his career but recovered and had a long career.

Man what?

Yao’s surgery basically ruined his career. Embiid’s foot surgery was 5 years ago bro.
 
Is Elton brand a good GM? You can’t trade the prized Miami pick and a rookie talent like Shamet to rent Tobias freaking Harris for less than a season. The grand prize being you max him out.

Just get rid of the max salary and let the market truly dictate a players value

It seemed like a good trade at the time, but looking back at Elton, his moves now feels like trade machine trades rather than something that was a little more methodical.

Everyone agreed that it was a good trade at the time and Tobi was a perfect fit. We played so much better with him on the floor.

I still love everything he brings and would love to have him back, it just needs to be at the right price.

Unless you have KD and Steph you can’t max out 4 players. The role you need your third and fourth best players to play usually ain’t worth $180m.

I'm still rooting for my guy IT and hopes he finds a place in the NBA.


This is classic delusional fan talk about washed players: "The Heat would be a GREAT fit for Isaiah Thomas. The makeup of that team is similar to the Celtics team that IT turned around in 2015 and eventually led to the ECF. If a team lets him play and runs the offense through him, special things could happen. He brings a unique energy."

1. Situation is just like one many years (and injuries) ago where he was successful.
2. All they have to do is run everything through him despite him not being the best player on the team, and it'll all work out.
3. Yeah I can't really point to elite skills he has anymore but "he brings a unique energy."
