    And the Nets probably have the other six, but the Lakers are Team Uncle Drew.

    Edit: clearly I didn’t take the time to actually read the names. Jesus

    bballref doesn't have a column for "death threats because you were so useless in the playoffs".

    Yeah, rules are rules and mods are not getting paid for this thankless service. Cut them a break. And my addition here is that if you don't like the rules, there are a large number of sites you can choose as an alternative. It's tough to manage any kind of forum like this, these people run a good site and the large majority of users are having a great time. Anyone who does not want to participate in accordance with the rules ......

    Simmons is refusing to report, by the way. They should try to trade him to Portland for McCollum, in my opinion. I mean, they are not going to get a superstar or 5 first round picks in return.

    Jesus, Simmons is really giving the Sixers double middle fingers. The way this whole saga is degenerating, the Sixers would be damned lucky to get anyone even close to McCollum.

    So glad we're not part of this clown show.

    Vogel.qouldnt have made a mockery of one of his players publicly. Hard to come back from that especially with a so called star player

    100%. Vogel et al keep this stuff in house. That's what good organizations do. Sixers deserve everything they're getting. Fine with me. I'm loving this.

    been saying it for months. portland could add serious draft compensation that philly could re-route for additional help, too.

    but no way am i giving you lillard for simmons. that's not the way this conversation ends, daryl.

    i think siakam for simmons (again, with toronto throwing more in) also makes sense.

    morey needs to maximize embiid's window. how many healthy postseasons do you think that guy has left in him? two? three? max. wasting another year puts you back in the situation that prompted the nba's dumbest experiment (the process).

    They could also do a three-team trade involving those guys you mentioned.

    I think it's funny he's not even recognizing the Kings. Don't blame him. GS is the only Cali team with a pathway to him. Problem is 6ers are so delusional, they're probably asking for Steph or Klay.

    Rich Paul looking to dump Philly entirely



    As far as fits for Simmons, I think Portland and GS are both ideal. Playing with snipers like Dame or the Splash Brothers cover his inability to shoot. More importantly it moves him to a point forward. I think the PG experiment was a bad one and doesn't fully maximize his skill set.

    Philly missed their best trade offer from GS and are too stubborn or dumb to move past the fact they're not getting Dame and should focus on getting CJ next to Embiid instead
