Ben Simmons the new Kyle kuzma

I remember a time when Lakers fans on this very subreddit would have vetoed the AD trade if Kuz was going to the Pelicans :rofl:

@ShamsCharania
The Philadelphia 76ers have fined Ben Simmons for failing to travel on their six-game road trip, sources say.

Keep fining this lil bitch, and let Rich Paul continue to cry and complain about it.

Issues brewing in the Kings locker room and front office. An opportunity in the making...

Quote

The Sacramento Kings were consistently in reports all summer about trying to acquire Simmons. Through 13 games, they sit at a record of 5-8 and are on the wrong end of a four-game losing streak. On top of their early struggles, news has surfaced of a potential coaching change.

Talks between the Sixers and Kings came to halt when star guard De’Aaron Fox was taken off the table. Between the team’s struggles and his dip in production, that could change. The 24-year-old’s 19.8 points and 6.1 assists per game are the third and second-lowest marks, respectively, of his young career. On top of his averages taking a hit, The Athletic’s report also cited that Fox’s comfort level starting alongside Tyrese Haliburton is “becoming an early concern.”

What do you mean?

4 game losing streak is nothing to sweat, they've been without Embiid and multiple starters with Covid. They'll be fine once he' back.

I was poking fun at the wording.

It said xxx was on the wrong side of a 4-game losing streak

I found that verbiage odd because is there a right side of a 4-game losing streak?

Through 4 games the 76ers are #3 in offensive rating, #1 in effective field goal percentage, and #1 in true shooting percentage.

The problem is on the defensive end they're really missing Simmons, as they're 7th in points allowed yet 21st in defensive rating and 4th in turnover percentage at 13%.

All while Embiid is on a bum knee and doesn't look like himself. I'll take it considering.

big sample size there

Update:

Now through 14 games.....and still #1 offensive rating in the NBA despite missing Embiid for the last 4 games.

Not bad
