Just like the stock market you don’t sell when it’s at the bottom. Even if you want to sell you be patient and wait for it to get some value back.

I’d trade Ben to the Pelicans.

Have him throw lobs to Zion all game.

Ben for Ingram straight up. There we go. Perfect.

I'd take that. Trade for Ingram and sign Lowry. Would love to find a way to trade Tobias for a someone like Buddy Hield

Philly joins Utah in the "don't ever talk to me about the regular season" department.

""I'll be honest. I thought the turning point was when we — I don't know how to say it — is when we had an open shot and we made one free throw..."

- Joel Embiid 😬

(h/t @rich_hofmann ) https://t.co/kWfUcsv7Fv "

That was a turning point. But Philly was playing like they were trying not to lose.


Say what you want about Russell Westbrook and Giannis at times, but they always bring it. Ben doesn't

At this point, I’m pretty sure you have every team in that group except the Lakers so what does it really change? Lol

Just trade Ben, maybe a 1st and cap filler for Hield, Delon Wright, Bagley. Sac might demand Maxey in that move, but if Philly is trying to “win now” he should be expendable. Especially if it meant they would have Hield, Curry, Wright, Thybulle.

Extremely petty and wrong for Joel to say the turning point was 1 missed FT In the game.

Plenty of other things you can point to like his 8 turnovers, Harris shooting bad, furk 1 of 5 from 3, thybulle huge foul, doc playing Howard and so on. But sure let’s put all the blame on Ben a guy who had 13 assist and guarded Trae a lot who shoot awful.

Seriously, how is Embiid going to put all of the blame on a guy who didn’t miss a field goal in the 4th quarter all series?

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

That’s good for fans who are sick of the same teams winning, but we know NBA fans like drama and villains. You think these series are going to have better ratings than if more popular teams made it? Does the league care that new teams have a shot at winning?

This time last year, this league was promoting and profiting off of Black Movement. Fast forward a year later and you have a team from the blackest city in the world in a black dominated sport 4 wins away from its first ever Finals appearance. But we want treat that like it’s the worst thing to happen to the league.

Lol what are we doing here?

Jrue Holiday making the Conference Finals before the Process is hilarious to me.

Detroit is the Blackest city. And I don’t think anyone was treating it like it was the worst thing to happen to the league. But is what it is.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Ben is mentally frazzled as a player right now, and I'm on an island, but I still want him on the Lakers, he just has to be convinced to be the 5 in the half court sets on offense.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Not enough Doc Rivers slander on here. Stop letting one of the most overrated coaches of all time off the hook. He was a bad hire and it couldn't be more clear that anyone could've won with that 08 Celtics team and he's still living off that. Must be a hell of a salesman
