It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

I called the whole Jabari Parker thing

But Butler is averaging 35.6 MPG in his nine games to date. He has only landed below 32 minutes twice -- opening night and a blowout L to Milwaukee. Butler logged nearly 40 minutes in Monday's road L to the Clippers that I attended, then 43 minutes in Wednesday's L to the Lakers https://t.co/TQCEHoaZUu

a totally normal thing

lol

did you just lol yourself ?

it was suspicious to me that he cleared waivers so smoothly ?

i had not realized until i read this post that the jabari thing was going so bad already

I love watching Jabari Parker but when it comes to winning games he is poison

Mo Bamba should have gone top 3

im watching tony parker play for the hornets

big bounceback game from jokic. kind of annoying how he can pretty much do this whenever he wants but chooses not to

He needs a sports psychologist

Pretty rough loss for the nuggs

yeah fucking awful

Oh man philly is gonna get jimmy

Just read this. Holy fuck outta nowhere

For Saric and Covington and a pick!

wow interesting

wonder if jimmy will be on best behavior i hope not a feud w simmons has a lot of potential

that pick is only a second rounder, the market for jimmy wasnt exactly burning up i guess

this seals fultzs fate, out of the league within 3 years

trying to think of a more blatantly combustable big 3 and drawing a blank

Jimmy Butler and the Sixers fully expect to reach a deal on a long-term contract this summer, league sources tell ESPN. Sixers made deal with plans to add Butler to a Big Three with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

I think it works. Those guys all work hard and seem to care about winning

today's slate of games is....really bad

10 games of team i'm okay with vs. team i do not wish to look at

simmons is a sulking loner whos useless w/o the ball in his hands, embiid is a goofball who just does whatever he feels like out there, and jimmy is a ball domineering boss from hell, seems pretty dicey/not a perfect basketball fit

That’s pretty reductive. Embiid has been so good this year, and legit cares about defense as compared to Karl Anthony Bennet. 76ers lost some depth tho.

joel is def tearing it up but hes also still shooting 4 3s a game at 30%

simmons is obvs the much bigger concern tho

C'mon Cider. Clippers v Bucks is gonna be competitive I bet, as will Grizz-76ers with Big Bob Cov and Saric missing. Also you can enjoy watching the Wizards continue to implode and Hassan Whiteside is balling out atm. Hoping Houston continue poor form v Spurs but I reckon they will have a big performances between Harden and CP3 tonight. Kings Lakers will be a fun fast, fast paced game.

Sure I would miss Bulls-Cavs and Pistons-Hornets - don't blame ya there.

i understand why philly is doing this but it’s a pretty shaky fit.

jimmys a real good basketball player but the sixers arent seeming less like a fantasy team after this

i mean i wldve def done this deal if i were them, but also i was already highly skeptical of their core

i don't think it pushes them above their existing status of 4th best east team

idk ill be curious to see i think there is some potential there i mean jimmy can really play and the guys they gave up were nothing special, obvs the fit and personalities are kinda weird and incorporating a star mid season is hard, wld also really not be surprised if the whole thing crashed and burned also, the biggest question for me is what is simmons going to do while jimmys dribbling

yeah this makes simmons seem like the odd man out, and fultz seem like the man that was never even in.

fultz was already in trouble really just looking like not an nba player

jimmy/simmons/embiid is really rough for spacing purposes.

they shd......... trade ben

cause joel-jimmy cld actually be pretty cool

in retrospect, it seems crazy that so many 'experts' rated fultz so highly before the draft

give them a break, they just didn't notice he couldn't play basketball is all

yeah a team with joel/jimmy and some spacers/defenders could be a tank.

Their 2 biggest issues are horrible spacing/lack of shooting and being dogshit when Embiid isn’t on the floor.

Jimmy doesn’t directly address either of those issues and they just lost 2 shooters. but they do finally have a valid pnr option to go to which should help Embiid somewhat.

I think either they steamroll teams with their best lineups or Simmons and Fultzs’ issues become overexposed and they regress.

No one can predict the yips xps

Funnily enough I think the most significant potential blowing up point rests with how jimmy deals with the fultz situation. Everyone in philly seems rabidly protective of Fultz and if he dares to pontificate on his mentality the way he did Wiggins and KAT I don’t think he ever recovers from his heel turn
