Joel Embiid. Ben Simmons. Markelle Fultz. Worth every moment of the past four years. Now let's win some games.

So Sixers have traded for Markelle Fultz and could still technically walk away with the top pick in 2018 & 2019. Pretty wild.

Embiid hanging on the rim and landing comfortably on two feet is debatably a top 5 play in his career.

Ben Simmons has 4 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. He's played 5 minutes. Those are some good per-36 numbers.

Think this is becoming borderline ridiculous. He's a 20 yr old w/ no injury history taking nearly 5 months to recover from a 2-3 mo. injury.
Brett Brown says Ben Simmons playing 5-in-5 during All Star break isn't going to happen. Says he's progressing, but at their slow pace

Fultz, Redick, Covington, Simmons, Embiid. Perhaps the NBA's second most fun lineup. Little bit of everything amongst those five.

Think one overlooked aspect of the Jimmy Butler trade is that its a game changer for the Sixers in crunch time situations. Have desperately needed a shot creator who can just go get a bucket for them. They have that now.

Also think Embiid playing tomorrow night is a clear sign he’s been fine & the extension was the issue the whole time.

Embiid says that it’s time to stop referring to his game plan as a minutes restriction. Simply says if he’s tired, he’ll sit.

Embiid just banked in a three from the wing. Turned to Jacob Pullen and said "when it's the last shot I always gotta bank that shit."

Danny Ainge just got worked.
Clarification on deal: Besides its 2017 FRP, Philly sends '18 Lakers pick w/ protections. If it doesn't convey, 76ers send 2019 Kings pick.

Had this crazy fever dream last night that the Eagles drafted a QB in the 2nd round after giving Wentz $128M & then Howie Roseman came out & said they want to be a QB factory, like they’re trying to breed labrador retrievers for sale or something. Very weird. Glad it’s over.

I can guarantee this is not something the Sixers are planning on doing.

Really cool of Brett Brown to trust Embiid to play that 6 minute stretch with three fouls, and smart playing by Joel to make it look like a good decision. Those are great learning opportunities for the big man. No reason to shy away from them going forward.

Any thoughts on continuing your working relationship with

A Temple University student arrested during Monday’s protests was released from custody Wednesday after video surfaced of a police officer striking him in the head with a baton, and another using his knee to pin the student’s face to the street.

Think the Sixers need to do better than just post up Joel Embiid all the time. Hasn’t worked well as of late and he’s too comfortable settling for jumpers. Gotta mix up the action, get him moving towards the rim.

If Emeka Okafor leaves his feet and blocks your shot you gotta retire from basketball. That's the rule.
