James Harden traded to Philly Ben Simmons to Brooklyn finally

[Jplaya2023]

March 10 in Philly $95ea section 209

might be a lil flip. They should spike as resident prepare to boo Simmons each time he touches the ball

both teams gonna roll out the LA Fitness starting 5 and piss Silver off

 

[Reality Check]

Oh my god

Can someone refresh my memory on how Philly somehow owes 3 consecutive first rounders when the league prohibits teams from trading back to back first round picks? I know one of those picks was from when Philly traded Horford to OKC.

what's the issue with what i sad? If you give up seth curry you have to replace that shooting. They should have asked for mills.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the surrounding context of this trade. Philly are the ones that needed to give up pieces of worth to get Harden - not the other way around.

fr embiid and harden is a huge problem

they gon fukk defensive schemes up all game

when its all said and done, the sixers still have the best defensive C anchoring their defense.

 

[JoelB]

They gave up a lot for a nikka they coulda signed this offseason. Maybe this trade keeps them from investigation but Harden was coming to Philly. Coulda used been to get another piece.














Or maybe this is the start of the death of big 3s

We dont have the cap room to sign him outright like that unless we drastically changed the entire roster. We got Harden by giving up Seth, Draft Picks and a backup center who was leaving anyway

 

[GoldenGlove]

Yeah, Nets at Sixers on March 10th is the ONE ticket I would want to be in person for this season. That arena is gonna choose violence that night

My guess is Simmons starts with the Nets the game AFTER that one

So Ben ain't playing for another month after this deal? How many games do the Nets play prior to that game in Philly from now?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

his inability to shoot nullifies his strengths. this gets obscured until the postseason rolls around

Except it doesn't, certainly not for this Nets squad. Remind me, what did Harden do last postseason?

 

[tjax03]

its not lol


Seth on the NETS is basically just a Joe Harris that can actually make his shots in crunch time.
Seth just a sharpshooter lol if he was really what people think he is, GSW/BLAZERS/MAVS/76ers wouldn’t have moved on.
avg. motor, avg. athleticism….disappears when a 6’7+ wing is on him.


Ben is absolutely an X-factor for the Nets.
Ben at the 4 dishing to Kyrie and KD
Ben defending the best perimeter guard on the opposing team etc etc


there is no one on the Nets to cannibalize his game like there was with Embiid
we are going to see a Ben Simmons we haven’t seen since he had Ilyasova/Covington/Reddikk

You in fantasy land.


This is reality

Dude left wide open cuz he afraid to shoot.

Kyrie and KD cant spot up shoot if they are doubled because ben is left alone

also

 

[Methodical]

Some cat went to his biggest haters funeral and posted it and then said RIP Bozo.

Oh, I see. Is he a rapper or drug dealer or just a random civilian that he posted it?

 

[beenz]

I cannot believe the nonsense I am reading.

The new Karl Malone. KARL MALONE?

One of the best spot up midrange shooters in NBA history and yall got him in the same sentence as Ben Simmons?

Coli never fails man.

I gotta log out for the next few days cuz yall dropping my IQ level

I said the EXACT same shyt regarding that karl malone bullshyt.

we comparing a nikka who scared to shoot the ball to the 2nd most prolific scorer in NBA history and a mid range master, who LOVED going to the FT line and

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

He’s just staying in character I predict he’s therapist will release him as soon as today

 

[Raw Sauce]

Oh, I see. Is he a rapper or drug dealer or just a random civilian that he posted it?

Just a random at the time, but now a legend
