    No they just basically said he's not championship caliber and put their entire foot in their mouth while trying to play clean up on aisle 5 now. They told Embid (I'm assuming) to play up to Ben on social media making like there was never an issue and now Doc is saying he never said what he said although its on video lol. Morey wants championship quality pieces in return for a non championship player according to them. Yea from where I stand the toxicity isn't coming from Ben's side of the fence

    Probably right. Everyone involved has helped create this fantastic s*** casserole: Simmons, Embiid, Rivers and Morey.

    Of course they had a right to be pissed at Simmons, but they should have been professional and address it behind closed doors, and not calling him out in public. Embiid and Rivers called him out in public. It’s that kind of unprofessional culture that creates cluster**** situations like this, which in turn makes dealing him more difficult, and may also make other players think twice about signing with Philly.

    I can tell you this with almost absolute certainty, they're not gonna get anywhere close what Morey thinks his non championship player is worth now. His value has plummeted and they only have themselves to thank. This has been tons of fun to watch since I don't give a damn about the 6ers too lol

    Embiid isn’t a horse I’d bet on.

    Morey and rivers are emperor’s new clothes personified.

    surprised kuzma wasn't there? maybe he couldn't make it?

    but it wouldn't surprise me if he and AD just weren't that close. i think people assume that all these guys are good friends and very close to one another just because they play on the same team

    With the guys going to Vegas this weekend, I thought we might add that last player this week so they wouldn't miss out on the trip.

    Lines up with what Mr. Rambis said the Lakers front office attitude was and counter’s Amick’s report we just let Caruso walk:

    How bout someone ask Caruso if they were aggressive?

    A team that's aggressively coming after you and you want to stay, it's likely you stay. I call BS. The Lakers chose THT and when Kendrick Nunn became available, the Lakers had to get Nunn. Nunn has ridiculous upside.
