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.


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:

Did I ever say it was a devastating loss? Don’t put words in my mouth

I’m just sitting here laughing at you back flipping on Drummond, which is exactly what you’ve done.

What happens now when Embiid gets hurt for long periods like he usually does?

Again im not saying the trade wasn’t in your favour because of Drummond. Im just laughing at DM because he hyped the fuck out of Drummond in discord chat and now he’s essentially saying he was worthless to the 76ers

Stay out of this

Again, what are you talking about? Who's flipping???? Nothing has changed here, my opinion on Drummond remains the same...

Drummond was the best backup C in the league, i'm not saying otherwise? Nobody said he was worthless to the 76ers either, he was great in his role which was a limited minutes BACKUP CENTER. So who's flipping????


From the current team playing this season, 76ers traded two role players and got back a superstar. What exactly do we need to discuss here? You guys take things and try to run a completely opposite direction with them sometimes.

You can be really good at a job that isn't all that important, a tiny luxury.
