    Been looking forward to it for about 3 years now. haha
    haha, yeah, no doubt. I think they are going to have a massive clean up of the court before the game when 12k people splurge when Simmons is announced.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    karma, the basketball gods have gotten back at the Sixers for the embarrassing effort to be competitive instituted by Hinkie the last 3 years.
    the good news is with Hinkie not around anymore there is probably a good chance Simmons will actually step on the court at some point this seaosn. if Hinkie was still here we'd have to wait another whole season.

    Why can't we have nice things? 4 years in a row our 1st pick misses time with a significant injury.

    Other teams have tanked and won championships from it.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    At least it's only a couple months. Puts a damper on the start to the season....but I'm still super stoked to see Joel and Dario make their debuts.

    Gonna be an interesting experiment this year

    1st pick in NBA draft and 2nd pick in NFL draft both get hurt in pre-season. thankfully Wentz came back.

    the next bet should be how many games do Embiid and Simmons actually play together this year? i'd put over/under at 18

    I was on a treadmill at the gym Friday night when it came on the bottom line and almost yelled fuck out loud. Just when things appeared that they were pointing in the right direction. The only good news out of this is that maybe the Sixers' ticket reps will stop calling me now.

    Rumor: Agent Rich Paul won't let Ben Simmons play for Sixers this season

    Here's a heck of a rumor involving the Philadelphia 76ers: Ben Simmons' agent, Rich Paul, might not want his client to play at all for the Philadelphia 76ers this season, according to the Philadelphia Daily News' Bob Cooney. Simmons, the No. 1 pick in the draft, broke his foot last Friday and is expected to have surgery.

    "I just got off the phone with someone I trust who said there's no way his agent will let him play this season" - @BobCooney76 on Simmons

    Let's be clear on what this is: Cooney said the above in a radio interview. He has not reported that Paul will absolutely hold Simmons out. Sixers president Bryan Colangelo said on Sunday that, while the team will not rush him back, there is no timetable yet. On Twitter, Cooney clarified the situation:

    As I just wrote, opinions on Simmons vary, from doctors to people around the league. Some believe he'll be back this year, this one didn't.


    The reality is that no one knows for sure when Simmons will return. In 2013, Portland Trail Blazers rookie C.J. McCollum broke his foot on Oct. 5 and made his NBA debut on Jan. 8. That same year, Philadelphia held out big man Nerlens Noel for the entire season as he recovered from a torn ACL. The Sixers have also been cautious with center Joel Embiid, who was drafted in 2014 and is set to play his first game as a professional on Tuesday.
    Like any sane agent, Paul will surely not want Simmons to play basketball again until he's healthy enough to do so. In this case, though, that's not a conflict with the team's perspective. Philadelphia is obviously still rebuilding, and Colangelo acknowledged that "this might slow things down for Ben and for us." This is not to say that Simmons will sit out the whole season, but it would be wise for Sixers fans to keep their expectations low for now.

    I saw Saric play some games in the Olympics and he played pretty well.

    "IF" Simmons doesn't play this year, the Sixers record will not be as good, obviously, and they'll get another high draft pick. Next June's Draft is suppose to be loaded. And, don't forget, they have the Lakers pick, though i still think it's Top 3 protected.

    No doubt. There is absolutely no reason to bring him back before they can be assured he is 100% healthy...

    If he's healthy, he should play. The agent probably wants to keep him out so he'll be eligible for ROY consideration next year.
