that is as likely as ^unevilmaniac showing up ITT to eat crow and all his dumbass takes.


I'll make it my job to tag every day until he shows his face.

You did make it seem like they wouldnt give up much more than Simmons tho. Curry Drummond Simmons and picks is more than you made it seem theyd need to give up for Lillard or Harden + filler coming back.

Drummond was a 1 year contract on a vet minimum who has played 18 minutes per game this season lol, is that really worth mentioning? I mean he gave productive minutes and was a good backup to Embiid, but that can easily be filled in buyout market or even Millsap who they also acquired in the deal (and Doc said he plans to use as a backup 5).

Seth is really the only loss, and that's easily absorbed when we consider the fact that neither Maxey or Thybulle had to be included in the deal. We knew for a while now that it wouldn't just be Simmons for Harden straight up, but most just wanted to avoid losing the young guys and they did a good job of that.

Who is Andre Drummond all of a sudden? Shaq? When no team really wanted him and signs for a vet min 1 year deal with Sixers

Give me a break. If the Sixers want this guy back so badly they could resign him in the off-season, if they truly cannot live without the guy. They gave up a nice shooter, some late picks, and replaced the shooter in the starting lineup with James Harden

They kept their best two young players in Maxey and Thybulle. What am I missing? What else did they give up that has actual value? That knucklehead was saying 2 unprotected firsts, pick swaps, their best two young players, and Simmons. This isn’t even close to that. He was right about a single unprotected first which we know for a fact will be late, the 2022 pick. The 2027 is protected

Love how 2 weeks ago he was the best backup C in the league

And now his gameplay isn’t even worth mentioning

You don’t even try to hide the back pedals anymore

I mean, how big of a deal is the best backup C mean to begin with? Half the league doesn't have impact players starting at C, nevermind backups.

Hmmm you’re missing the point

He was flexing how good Drummond was as back up C and now he’s worthless

Da fuck out of here trying to be a contrarian

That didn't change though? Look up what backpedal means, you're using it incorrectly again. Best BACKUP center, yes. But we're talking about a backup on a vet minimum and acting like that's a huge loss when bringing in James Harden? Seems like a reach rofl

In what world is losing Andre Drummond and Seth Curry a devastating loss when you're replacing them with one of the best players in the league? For fucks sake :rolleyes:
