OT: The Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers are glad to have a Butler part 2

[Jack Straw]

Bolden staying with Doncic on the perimeter. Very encouraging

If Bolden can get some consistency with his 3 pt shooting I could see him taking the starting PF spot before the season ends.

Brown’s response to the latest Sixers drama:

A non-story.

Shocking

 

[Stop the Madness]

Ben Simmons passes gives me wood

 

[Jack Straw]

Here we go again

 

[Embiid]

Close but they closed it out......

 

[Lotusflower]

I love Doncic to death but he's not a better prospect than Ben Simmons.

EDIT: Bolden was huge and we played good d minus Jimmy. Bench has potential.
ALSO...was that Zhaire Smith I spotted on the bench. storms brewin....

He should be starting, brings a lot more then Chandler does even if he can’t shoot consistently. We need a guy who can protect the rim and rebound when teams draw Embiid out to the perimeter.

Chandler should be benched in favor of Bolden. Bolden earning his minutes of late and making a case to start. If Smith can get into playing shape and worked into the lineup by playoff time ….the both of them can really be a big help on D which obviously Brown is looking to solidify. Embiid can't do it all so Bolden can be a big help over Chandler. Also glad Amir is not getting coach's pet minutes. Dude sucks...

 

[Jack Straw]

And BB says he wants Simmons taking one jump shot every quarter. Baby steps.

 

[Embiid]

Yeah....we need him to freakin continue to not be scared to shoot since the likes of Boston and Toronto are not going to be feeling sorry for him.

Not saying he should have the job..but Twolves need to bring KG home in some capacity with the Org

I think he is more interested in management than coaching.

Jimmy Butler is a nutcase. But he's our nutcase now.
Emasculated Hoiberg in Chicago.
Ran his own operation in Minny against Thibs.

Now he's Brown's charge. Will be interesting to see how the Butler saga continues.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Players who don't like each other can win championships. However, eventually it'll all burn to the ground, can the Sixers win some before that happens?

I dont think Jimmy/Embiid/Simmons actually dislike each other at all.
That's just something negadelphians make up because they dont believe nice things happen to this fanbase.

Before Simmons was even drafted people were worried they wouldnt get along.
Based on hearsay and media smokescreens.
Random incidents between them get blown up and psychoanalyzed while the other 98% of their interactions arent factored in at all.

Youve got a Pompey tweet where he blatantly twists Jo's words to the point Jo has to come out and refute them 24 hours later and that's your "reliable" source that the relationship is untenable. ????

Difference between us and Minny is that when it comes time for Jimmy to make that contract decision he'll be on a roster with two actual max players instead of one and a guy masquerading as one.

Lot of truth in here.

So...dont look now but Anthony Bennett, yes Anthony Bennett, is going off in the G-League....

24-9-2 per 36 down there. Shooting the lights out at 58/47/82.

You wanted bench help. The basketballgods have answered.

before i go look..isn't he only like just..24 or something lol

 

[Lotusflower]

Imagine a bench full of reclamation projects and guys fresh from the threshold of death: Fultz, Bennett, Zhaire, hell grab Chandler Parsons for the min (im only half kidding)

 

[Lotusflower]

I might have guessed. Still, it makes for good evidence to my point in our earlier arguments that ballplayers develop late. Making career long designations on certain players 24>is foolhardy. Whether Bennett is still a bust of epic proportions crafting illusions in the minors or not.

He will turn 26 around the same time Jo turns 25. Fultz turns 21 in May.

It’s amazing how bad the first 7 picks turned out, other than Oladipo, who even then, took 3 teams to become something.
