What?
Irving would rather retire than play for Philly.

No one wants to play there. Not even their home grown talent.
Jimmy Butler didn't want to play there. LBJ said hell naw. Now Irving says he'd rather retire than play in Philly.


Jimmy did want to play there, it was the Sixers who basically told him goodbye. He couldn't co-exist with Simmons.

Jimmy himself publicly stated he didn't want to play there on JJ Reddit's podcast before but eh, whatever helps you sleep at night my man lol

That was the most complete roster y'all had also

Yes, because the Sixers publicly chose Simmons over him which obviously at the time made perfect sense considering Simmons was only in his second season and already an All-Star with a promising future. Butler and Embiid are close, he would have loved to play with Embiid but he wasn't the problem.

Brett Brown and Simmons were boys, and Jimmy disliked or just didn't get along with both of them. Not to mention Jimmy needs the ball in his hands, and playing next to Simmons and Embiid that would never happen, he was literally the 3rd and sometimes 4th option on that team at times (after they traded for Tobias). Then the playoffs rolled around and when Simmons was getting fucked up by Kawhi and couldn't do shit they took the ball and gave it to Jimmy and said PLZ HALP lol.

edit: The team this past season was the most complete. Better depth at key spots including a very good backup C for Embiid (which they desperately lacked the year Butler was there). Less star power without Jimmy obviously, but still better balanced and coached (hence the #1 seed).

It'll be awkward, but it's necessary and beneficial for everyone involved.

Come back, play at his normal All-Star level, and allow the Sixers to then get real value in return for him before the deadline.

Klutch Sports takes a major L here. Paul Rich is a fucking clown and this made him look so bad.



"Daryl Morey was ready to take on the whole country of China and you think he’s afraid of Rich Paul?" :rofl:

if Ben comes back and actually plays with a purpose this could be good. However, if he comes back and dogs it this will become a worse situation where they may be forced to have him sit at home and collect checks.
