2018/19 Philadelphia 76ers Thread: The Process Continues

[D Fly]

Simmons as in Jonathan?

 

[D Fly]

Seems to be a bit of a logjam at the wing now. Probably will get rid of Scott

Scott will probably see most of his time at the 4

 

[D Fly]

Ok It is Jonathan Simmons.

Eh would've rather had Ross from Orlando..J.Simmons ain't really that nice. But the picks are cool

 

[mastamind033]

Trade was more for getting rid of the Fultz drama, getting our pick back from the Anzejs trade, and a salary dump for the offseason.

 

[D Fly]

Which guards are gonna be on the buyout market?

Because TJ being the backup ain't really the move man

 

[blakep267]

The sixers could literally go ahead and trade that pick and Simmons before the deadline for something actually useful

 

[dat dude chris]

Fultz traded...end of an era

 

[plansb]

**** fultz, good riddance

 

[dat dude chris]

Watch Fultz go put up numbers in Orlando too

 

[D Fly]

Watch Fultz go put up numbers in Orlando too

He gonna magically be back to his Washington form and ****

 

[amitt5504]

Watch Fultz go put up numbers in Orlando too

Of course he will. Man about to FLOURISH lol

 

[D Fly]

We still really need a backup PG

I do not wanna see TJ getting washed by Kyrie come playoff time

 

[mastamind033]

Hopefully Brown is smart enough to stagger the minutes so Butler is the backup PG when Simmons is off the floor when the playoffs arrive.

 

[mastamind033]

Also disappointed how Fultz worked out here but I wish him the best in Orlando.

 

[amitt5504]

Point Jimmy makes too much sense now. Even Simmons (Jonathan) can theoretically run the point in spurts

 

[mrswagtastic]

Pat Beverly please

 

[D Fly]

Matthews bought out, going to Indy tho.

Yep, this. And as much as I disliked the whole Fultz situation, getting rid of him for so little in return is a lot less satisfying than I hoped .

 

[Moheezy]

@buc em I gotta admit, you were right about the trade

I thought I would feel sad, but I really just feel relieved.

So...

Embiid/ Boban
Tobi / Bolden
Butler/ J Simmons
JJ/ Kormaz/ Zhaire
Ben / TJ

Still a little light on the wing/ guard side, but like everyone here is saying, it will be up to Coach to stagger minutes and play Butler at PG.

I can see staggering lineups looking like the following:
A. Bolden (Or Boban)/ Tobi/ J Simmons/ Kormaz/ Ben
B. Embiid/ Bolden/ Simmons/ JJ/ Butler

I don't know how Tobi works with the pick and roll, but that may be a decent two-man game with Ben

 

[mrswagtastic]

I don’t think Boban will see regular minutes.

 

[amitt5504]

Ennis will play over Furkan. Bolden with split time between the 4/5 depending on matchups

 

[mastamind033]

Dude is pretty great at everything on O

 

[af1 1982]

Mad we couldn’t deal that bum Furkan at the deadline

 

[Moheezy]

Ennis will play over Furkan. Bolden with split time between the 4/5 depending on matchups

How good is James Ennis?

I never followed him closely.

Both as a roll man and a ball handler. Wow.
