I agree they arent trading either of the two. Simmons is one of the best on the ball point guards in the league. Yeah he cant shoot a 3 for shit, so go out and surround the team with shooters then. Not everyone on the team needs to be a deep threat. Who are they honestly going to get to replace Simmons that makes the Sixers better. Not much out there to be had.

It could happen.
Since Ben Simmons is already a threat to penetrate the paint then he will just need more threats outside.
Sharpshooters is a must. That way, Embiid could also focus on mid range shots and post ups.

But, we could see their roster in not filled with that yet. Korkmaz and Harris have the highest attempts and both are near 35%.
Harris though is like a switch in 3 points. On and off.

I am not sure what is the rank of the Sixers in terms of 3 point shooting as a team, but I believe they are not in the top 10 as their offense is more focus on the inside, if they only have Reddick, they could have been a big threat in the outside but Horford would not land to the sixers, it's really hard to choose but I believe they prefer to have this kind of play right now, besides they are doing pretty well at home.

Amazing performance by Embiid on a win against the Hawks, the big fella scored 49 points along with 14 rebounds in this win.
So to those who are asking if the which player the management will pick between Him and Simmons, here's the answer.

I have still the same opinion.
They won't trade any of these two.

I think they are wise enough to make this guys to ripe and then after that they could take on a championship game.
They are almost there.
Simmons is also trying some new training circle and we are actually seeing that.
Embiid though is a different story. He is improving fast. He also tries to be serious now instead of being a clown which he did last year.

76ers management may already be aware of that.

We can see that, what they just need now is a good chemistry, they all have the talent and they are still young therefore it's expected that they will improve. Sixers ain't no shitty team anymore, they have become a threat in the East and a good championship contender.

The last time selection almost went to the finals if only that miracle shot by Kawhai did not went in. For sure the management will do the best that they can keeping both Embiid and Simmons to keep their competitiveness from the east side.

IIRC, this game was all about runs by each team until the game was close in the 4th quarter especially in the last few minutes.
Leonard has the ball to take the last shot if that did not fall it's going into OT but that was really a lucky bounce and that melted the hear of the Sixers.
This is way better than the East finals actually, I want to see them again this season.. at the expense of the Bucks, lol.

There is no doubt who would Philadelphia management trade if they have to choose between those two, but I seriously doubt they have the balls to do it after so many years of tanking (even though I think that would be smart thing to do).
Another issue now is Simmons getting injured in that loss against Bucks the other day, and it is uncertain when he will be back, and how serious this injury is. When Philadelphia made roster for this season, they kept in mind Embiid and his history of injuries, and Horford signing was in a way contingency plan in case something happens to Embiid, but what they didn't cover is proper Simmons replacement. Let's hope this injury is nothing serious and that he will be back soon, so far he missed only few games in his first 2 seasons.

Not sure about that since Harris is there to help and provide stats even without Simmons but I agree with you acquiring Horford is a good contingency plan since Embiid base from his previous history is very prone to injuries. The last time selection almost went to the finals if only that miracle shot by Kawhai did not went in. For sure the management will do the best that they can keeping both Embiid and Simmons to keep their competitiveness from the east side.

We can check the latest update of Simmons here - https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/30296/ben-simmons
I think the injury is not that serious that requires surgery, and I believe he will be back in less than a month.

But what will happen if Embiid will be lockout in the playoffs?

I know a player who can do some good defense on him and that is Gasol, they still need Simmons though, if they will trade him, maybe not this season because I still want to see how the Sixers will take their revenge against the Raptors.

Some great odds for later games without handicaps.
Wizards (home) @9.00 vs Bucks
Knicks (away) @ 10.00 vs Rockets
T'Wolves (away) @7.80 vs Dallas

The demon of me is telling something again. Grin

Allow that demon to dictate you , lol.. I will even suggest that you parlay all the heavy underdogs so you will get a total odds of 702.
$10 at least for a minimum, you'll get at least $7000, good luck mate, do it fast. lol

That Wizards vs Bucks game was something else.
I think many lose a lot of money from here. It was just a 3 point deficit win from the Bucks.
They may have input handicaps for the Bucks.

Well, I didn't win any of those games but still it was fun specially the Wizards game. Grin

I just put a little bet in it. Yeah, a gamble as we call it.

And the worst aside from that Pacers' horrible performance, one of their player, Jeremy Lamb suffered a season-ending injury. So unfortunate.

A good contributor for the Pacers team. They may need to recreate their plays for this loss.
A bad news indeed but they are still on the 6th seed at 33 wins while Nets at 7th with 26. They could still arrange everything for change of plays.

What a great start I saw in the NBA today, Lakers vs Boston have some classic match up and it ended up really an entertaining game.
Tatum goes for 41 points from an losing effort but this young man has showed he can be better against a good team like the Lakers, last time it was the Clippers. Anyone here think Celtics are a championship contender this season?

Yes of course they are a championship contender team since they fought the Cavs in the 2018 ECF. Though they lost to a more experienced Cavs team with LeBron leading the team, but they showed how good this young bloods are. With Walker as an addition, I think they are ready to go against the Bucks or the Raptors in the ECF in the playoffs.
Tatum is a future hall of famer, and Jaylen too.

They will be a big surprise in this coming playoffs, hopefully they'll win the East and beat the West Champ.
Boston deserve to be in the NBA finals and to win, they have been working hard for their team to succeed and now we are seeing them improve just like the Warriors in the past who are getting better as a team. Tatum, Walker, Brown, and more, they will compose a championship team, if not this season surely the following seasons.

Harsh words but that's the reality. The only thing I could remember about the Pacers being a championship caliber team is when Frank Vogel, Paul George, Roy Hibbert, and Danny Granger was all there. After that, the Pacers just became another mediocre team, but atleast they are about to secure a spot in the playoffs this season, but then again they stand almost no chance to beat the top teams in the East.

Pacers are currently having a good run overall so tanking at this stage isn't a good idea and I don't see any advantages in the future if they will do that. They are 13 wins ahead on the 9th and 9 wins ahead on the 8th. That proves "a bit" that they shouldn't be taken easily by other teams although we can really expect that there's a chance they might not pass the 1st round. If for let's say the current standing will not change, they will meet the Boston Celtics in the first round. NBA is half-way now and if a team is having a quiet good record at that point, push for it until the end. That Lamb's injury is not a reason for them to raise the flags early.

Actually, the talks about if Pacers will do something good in the playoffs is because of their recent horrible performance against the Raptors that shouldn't be a reference in the first place.

I like to bump my previous bet challenge here; will Pelicans make it to playoffs?

I'm with NO for BTC0.005.

Zion is doing great now so there's a chance that the Pelicans can make it. Will accept the deal for 2 users only.

Accepting challenge until Friday 23:59 forum time. Just for fun guys.

Losing Jeremy lamb iant the end of the world, they wont tank because of that. But I agree. With your prior statement, they really arent built right now to do damage in the playoffs anyway. To me they are a middling team which is sometimes the worst place to be. Not enough to win anything substantial but not losing enough to change courses.

This is the worst thing that happen to the team on that game, Jeremy Lamb is a solid contributor to the team and now they'll surely miss his service and their chance now in the playoffs is getting slimmer unless Oladipo will be back on his superstar shape soon.

Raptors annihilated the Pacers by a score of 127 to 82, we are used to seeing numbers like 127 scored on teams nowadays and even tho for people who have been watching NBA for 10+ years the number of points scored is still weird, getting scored 127 on is not a big thing anymore, however how the hell did pacers stopped at just 82 points, they are not really that bad neither, I mean they are not awesome but they are not this bad, one of the least points a team has scored this season as far as I can remember.

Even Raptors showed dominance in terms of defense, Pacers penetrated it and they able to find some open spots for an uncontested shot.

However, the bad night really struck them. Their shooting percentage is so horrible to the point that even some of their free layups were missed. The rim literally doesn't want to take their shot lol.

Pacers really play bad, 12 points in the first quarter? shooting 17%? that's awful. Then finishing 32 in the first half, 2 points less than Toronto scored in the first quarter alone, ouch.

IIRC, of the last 3 games they played this year, Pacers had never won a game and this is their worst loss so far, so we can say that Raptors have dominated them and they might loss easily comes playoff times. Raptors have really improve, after a long streak they loss once and now they are again starting to roll and might create a long streak again.
