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

man wtf he's screwing himself. cant even be a good soldier for a few months to secure the bag. what a complete knucklehead

lmao who tf would sign jimmy butler when he hits free agency, i wonder

Didn't take long for Butler to start up his usual bullshit.

knicks.jpg

or kangs

Buried in that story is this Embiid gem - "I felt an elbow on my face and I kind of freaked out because that's my same face I had surgery on." Thankfully, the face he didn't have surgery on was perfectly fine.

Well, something something replace all the cells in your face every something something

kings are a bad org but not really a desperate one. knicks have the right mix of both to end up paying troublestars

As long as Philly's offence is built around the severe limitations of their primary ball handler, no other star will feel entirely comfortable there.

Whether or not he gets the bag comes down to how he does in the playoffs more than a soft target story in January. He shows out and he won't be short of offers.

I loved Jimmy, loved his backstory, loved how he seemed to relish playing D and his offense was almost an afterthought. But NBA fame seems to have really gone to his head. Hollywood af.

but the amount of teams looking to employ him will drop (has dropped) dramatically. his rep was already beaten before this and maybe he could explain it away a bit but 3 times in a row is the biggest of red flags.

strange that the big three weirdos isnt working out

lagoons philly skepticism has been noted multiple times and is now filed into the 'ILHers being OTM' folder

thank u for yr support

wonder if brown will make it through the season cld see a post season firing-resigning butler 1-2

idk man, this aint on brown

yeah but its just what teams do when they cant fire the players

(tho i dont think hes a great coach)

the process might actually be cursed something to think about

thread of 76ers spacing

Butler allegedly wants to play more pick and roll or ISO.
I think Brown has done a good job of designing a strong pick and pop scheme given the personnel he has, but running traditional pick and roll is essentially impossible with Simmons off ball and not the screener pic.twitter.com/v2t3bUkd4x

yup jimmy-joel pnr shd be deadly but its impossible with simmons on the floor

it's funny that the process is over and their best players are a traditional post-up center and a traditional ball-handling wing who could both really use a traditional point guard

someone, like say.... markelle fultz could work

thread of embiid quotes

Over the past few days, Joel Embiid and Brett Brown talked extensively about the ongoing process that is getting the Sixers' Big 3 to mesh.

Here are some relevant quotes.

I dunno, this story isn't as much of a thing as it purports to be.

Player with history of relational controversy speaks out to coach on issue everybody with eyes knows to be true during one of the slowest periods of the sports news cycle. Observer said it was disrespectful but "disrespectful" doesn't generate talking head fodder so he "aggressively" "challenged" the coach. Coach says it was fine but of course he would and now we get to relive one of the more intriguing and meme generating stories of the season.

The emerging pattern might give a few front offices pause but they all love to imagine their setup can crack the code and be the geniuses that reclaimed the pariah.

I think if he continues to be as good as he is on the court he'll never lack options. Then again, If he can't show it because he's been reduced to a spot up guy then it weakens his negotiating position this summer in a way that's less ephemeral than all the character stuff.

deciding who leaked this story is an interesting thought exercise

i dont think the espn guys shd spend the entire game on doncic nuts

the story about dre jordans ft routine is the kind of quality talk i want

why is doncic frontcourt for the allstar voting

i dont think the espn guys shd spend the entire game on doncic nuts

he's now god mavsgod, thats the rule

Dirk legit looks like an old guy at the rec center everything is so labored. Father Time is a helluva thing

He's playing in what is likely the most athletic sports league on earth. And he's, what, 40 years old?

Yup

last year 39-year-old dirk was somewhat effective in short minutes. i think trying to come back from injury this year was just a little too much.

Otm He looked labored last year too but he had a bit of rhythm. Vince dropped a 21 pointer the other night at 41
