Heard a rumor PHI would be open to trading Simmons. They don't think he fits well with Embiid. Simmons for D'Angelo Russell was one rumor I heard

Ish Smith and Josh Richards tore him up, back to back!
And that has me wondering why DA traded Thybulle to the Sixers. Everyone here seemed to think Thybulle was another Smart with potential to be a better shooter. We could have traded Smart and had his replacement in the wings but instead DA opts to help one of his main opponents in his conference. Stuff like that is why I criticize DA's drafting. That and Yabusele with #16 when there were better payers still on the board ... LeVert, Korkmaz, Siakam & Dejounte Murray in 1st round and Brogdon in 2nd who as I recall DA liked alot and may have had in a few times.
I forgive him if reports are true that his target was Hernangomez but Denver picked him just ahead of the Celtics ...
We traded him for two picks that gave us Grant Williams and Carsen Edwards. While the jury is still out on those two guys, I think you have a better shot at a home run with two swings instead of one. Plus, it was PHI who took him and wanted him. Perhaps Danny would have taken someone else.

So you're saying it's DA's fault for buying the wrong groceries?
What are you talking about? This comment was about coaching, not players. I love this team. If he makes no moves, I'm okay with it. Then that means you're not buying into the dispair, if you're on board with coaches and players.

And while I won't say we need a C, I am saying that bench scoring has been lacking all year, and we need to improve in that area. Perhaps Danny can get a C AND a bench scorer in one move. Langford, Edwards and GWill have all been given chances. I'm sure that was Plan A. Now we need to move on to Plan B. Despair? Me? Never. Trust is what I have...

If our top 4 were all healthy and productive they would be scoring at different times with the bench. that's how it was working, when it was working
we need one of these long, athletic, defensive guys that seem to be a dime a dozen everywhere else.
rwill was helping there for a while

He is out now, so we need help in that area, that is true!
