Your franchise superstar has to play in more than 10% of his career games. That's a bit more important than free throw shooting.

Simmons is the key to this whole thing. Embiid is a luxury that probably won't be available most years. Starting this upcoming offseason they need to retool the roster around Simmons. They'll have some flexibility even with Embiid's contract to make some moves.

Simmons isn't as impactful as Embiid and I just provided the evidence. Of course Embiid has to play. That is not a revelation but the notion that Simmons can carry this team regardless of surrounding talent is foolish. They are 1-6 without Embiid and Simmons wasn't good enough to beat the Bulls and Sac the last 2 games. Again I say this as Simmons fan. I think it is another example of you overrating the guys that you like. You sort of jump out the water with them.

Wait... are you under the impression that Simmons won't improve? That this 7 game sample size is gonna define his career? :lol:

It's not overrating guys. It's usually not hard to tell if someone is going to be a future franchise guy pretty early on. Simmons is clearly one.

No he will get better but saying that he will carry any team regardless of talent to 50 wins next year is pushing it. I don't think he will be that good. Certainly not by next year. This thing hinges on Embiid. I gambled on his health. His health is the key to this whole thing.

Well, I do. We will likely find out 16 months from now who is correct.

I don’t think we have to wait 16 months. I am right on this, period.

They beat a cupcake opponent. Spoelstra should win coach of the year for trotting that garbage roster in the playoffs. Dude can coach.

Feel free. You were one of the dissenting opinions regarding "The Process" too. These young guys are for real. They aren't stuttering anyone at this stage of the game. Lebron included.

Let them beat a real team in the playoffs first before you jerk off to the "Process".

MANY on here didn't even have them making the playoffs so I'm playing with house money. They will win the second round also. They will be helped by injuries if its Boston second round. How many "real teams" did Lebron James's cherry picked roster having ass need to beat in order to get to 7 straight finals? Still didn't prevent Vegan and others from "jerking off" to his greatness.

These young guys are ready to roll.

James has actually won something. Philly beat the 2018 Miami Heat.

You probably say that about every team in the league. Bitter pill for a bitter man once someone actually screws up the theory by making it.

I'm not bitter...seeing a Pro team tank and not be any better makes me bitter....if you think they have better young talent than the T Wolves you are wrong...and even in your convoluted mind they are I don't see them contending for a long time....I'm not bitter I'm realistic

Don't you just love how guys on here admit when they are wrong about something?. Don't you also just love when other board members call them out for failing to admit when they are wrong about something? It truly is a beautiful thing.

Penis Boston>Philly and almost as young ....how do you get passed that? The possibility of Simmons or Embiid leaving is better than the 6ers getting a a top free agent

Im not confident in Kyries knees going forward, this is the 3rd time he's missed a lot of time with that.. He's only getting older and sorer.

Come on. I'd rather bet on him being healthy than Embiid.

I just established 3 things in your quote that are wrong dumbass and i don't recall you mentioning Boston in any of them you fucking bandwagon jumper. You clearly stated "Minnesota". Talk about your proverbial pivot and damn you're dense for even attempting to pull that stupid shit off.

This is for bandwagon jumping Walt

From the guy that bounces from thread to thread never having anything positive or constructive to say. From the guy whose sole purpose for posting is to disagree with people. Aint that just rich.

From the guy who can't let the Philly thing go long after he has been proven wrong. You are upset simply because you have been made to look like a fool after always going out of your way to make others look like fools.

To that i say "get over it"

Imagine if this team drafted 50% or higher on their lottery picks during the process how good they would be.

That's a really odd thing to do for someone in his position.
