    Are we talking about practice not a game

    I mean listen, we talkin' 'bout practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game. We talkin' about practice. Not a game, not a, not a, not the game that I go out there and die for, and play every game like it's my last. Not the game. We talkin' bout practice, man. I mean how silly is that? We talkin' bout practice
    But since COVID they are never practicing.It happens in NHL too.

    think we missed the chance to buy low on lavine. we'll see if we were right to not make a bid there.

    i'm iffy on kessler's value. i could see two firsts if one were heavily protected. but i don't know that he's a current difference maker OR a future building block. when you start sending multiple firsts, i feel like the player needs to be one of those two things. kessler may be both, but i could also argue that he's neither.

    he plays well most of the time and plays like a superstar against us (and is generally a good clutch and playoff performer).

    he annoys me supremely because he looks pretty ordinary pretty regularly, just never, ever against us.

    If not mistaken, we couldn't send most of our players in a trade for Zach, until December. And it would be a Russ type move, losing depth (which we already lack) for one guy who's not even a superstar. And we're considering that Chicago would want our junk and 5 new players total.

    Not sure it was ever a possibility for us

    Feel bad for him, he has a unique style and makes the game super fun to watch. Find it hard to believe he will become an NBA player again, but rooting for him

    Joel Embiid: «Most likely, I will never play back-to-back until the end of my career
    Joel Embiid spoke about the control of playing time.
    I will most likely never play again back-to-back until the end of my career
    It's just the evolution of your body, and getting older and finding ways to stay afloat and be as dominant as I've always been," he said.

    And, after playing in just 433 of a possible 637 games across the past eight seasons -- not counting the first two years of his career that were lost to foot injuries -- Embiid's days of playing back-to-backs appear to be over.

    "If I had to guess," Embiid said, "I would probably never play back-to-backs the rest of my career."

    But Davis is "street clothes"
