    They have to make that trade, right? When Simmons comes back, you have a functional team for the first time in years.

    no. i don't think Wall is a good fit with Emiid and Simmons. With those 2 players you need knock down jump shooters and Wall is not that. If/when Simmons is healthy give him the ball and surround those 2 with shooters. that's your future. not john wall with Embiid and Simmons.

    Why not take Wall and find one top notch shooter in FA? It's 2 first round picks but the NBA draft is a crapshoot and you are getting an established all star. If a FA on the market next year knows he has a big and a small with epic passing skills, that is a major selling point. Getting two shooters seems unrealistic because of the rarity of the skill. JR Smith sat the whole off season without any takers and that is his specialty supposedly.

    I'll admit it seems like a high price, but you know the return on investment. Seems like you guys see Oakfor is as a bust so the gamble is if you think two future picks may turn out to be better then John Wall, which is probably below 50% chance.

    Don't the 76ers have a ton of picks where this makes sense? Wall's contact is chump change compared to some of the dumb ass contracts I saw this past summer (I.e. Mosgav)

    I actually agree with hawks here. I don't think Wall and Simmons will mesh well together either. Plus it is (FINALLY) good guard draft. Another deal will come along for Okafur.

    Last night was a lot of fun. More questionable late game coaching from Bret again. Also--Henderson got fouled at the end there. Oh well.

    Didn't have his best game but still: 14 points and 9 rebounds in only 19 minutes.

    Imagine if he didn't only play less than half the game....

    the Sixers have now lost 44 straight games in the months of October and November and Brett Brown has tied Larry Brown for most losses in franchise history already. #process

    they've done that for about 5 years now. funny how now the fans are upset by it :smirk: i don't get the restrictive minutes and games to be honest. either they are healthy and available or not. enough with this bullshit.

    Totally fine with them being overly cautious. That's just being smart. They should've given the fans a heads up that he wasn't playing the first of that back to back though. No big deal.



    Last night was awesome.
