    If they can’t beat Boston without Kylie and Gordon how the hell can they beat them when they’re back? I know Philly is young and they should/could get a big bump if Fultz finds his shot, but damn.

    Brad Stevens is a bad dude.

    They have room for a max contract this summer and a lot of tradeable assets. They are, in terms of roster building, about where Boston was last summer. They just have to get it right. Also, the upside on Embiid and Simmons is higher than anyone on Boston. If they keep developing into what they can be they’ll be catching up.

    I picked the wrong night to watch Mitchell

    He’s really good. A rookie in the playoffs, that was bound to happen.

    I’m disappointed about Philly. I wanted to see them vs LeBron.

    The 76ers actually are young, but nothing is ever a sure thing. The Celtics are almost just as young. The jury is out on Brett Brown. I have no idea how he survived all those 10-20 win seasons.

    The mask is fucking with Embiid. He’s a hall of famer if he stays healthy. Big if. Simmons needs a jumper. Fultz has talent, but he does seem like a loser. I like Saric a lot. Covington is an overrated 3 and D guy. The idea of those guys are often better than reality which is that he’s a mediocre shooter with no playmaking skills.

    They need a better 3 and D swingman than Covington. Saric and Fultz should possibly be shopped around. They should look at Kawhi Leonard.

    LeBron isn’t going to Philly. They won’t do that to Simmons. They should because LeBron is a sure thing and Embiid seems like a great fit. Simmons has huge potential, but is not a sure thing like LeBron.

    If they added LeBron, make a few trades and you’re a true title contender the next few years. Philly has both cap room and young talent to trade.

    Replacing Covington with Paul George would make sense to me.

    Saric is perfect for that team, no need to shop him

    He’s valuable and they have Embiid and Simmons. They start three guys 6’10” or taller. It’s over kill, even though Simmons can guard anyone.

    I love Saric, but he’s a very valuable piece. One day they won’t be able to afford everyone. They should be active now and go for it next year. The process is over.
