2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[DCAllAfrican]

Don't know if it would work, but I was just thinking about the format for the World Cup of hockey and if it would be feasible in basketball?

We don't need MORE basketball J. We have enough honestly. Sometimes I wish it could go away longer so I can miss it

[tyevvyotcu]

as a wolves fan
y'all probably aren't going to agree but I think LaVine has a higher ceiling than Wiggins
all we need now is shooting and wing depth and we're good
really excited about this year

Ben Simmons will reportedly undergo surgery next week for his broken right foot

https://t.co/gt1LIbFEul

 

[buc em]

Just hearing he's having surgery doesn't sound good at all. Hope we hear how long he's going to be out in the next few days...

 

[frshstunna]

Sucks for Ben but he'll be ok , sounds like at least he gets to play this year ...he should probly drop some of that weight he put on too just to be safe

 

[ballinsam23]

he'll lose weight from the surgery and rehab

 

[mgrand15]

Sucks for Ben but f word Philly. Fans been extra reckless recently

How the hell have we been reckless?

Simmons gotta learn from Bron. Don't start taking too much Serovital at once. Up your dose through the years and let your body acclimate to the weight.

Ben Simmons out 3 months

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

he'll lose weight from the surgery and rehab

If anything he'll gain weight. Not gonna be able to do any type of cardio for a while

 

[Retroballer]

he'll lose weight from the surgery and rehab

him gaining weight seems like a dumb argument.

Gonna come back looking like Boris Diaw

3 chips in the past 10 years or so yet they pathetic. You Trippin.

Treat their players like complete garbage. Absolutely the worst fan base in sports. No one cares about those chips

 

[dman14]

by being injured, ben simmons is helping the sixers. they are in even better position to land that number one pick
it's a ultramarathon for that organization, not a sprint.
sixers in 2028

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Ben Simmons out 3 months

That's not bad. i was thinking after All-Star break.

 

[Bert.]

Ben Simmons out 3 months

That's not bad. i was thinking after All-Star break.

Knowing the sixers and how NBA teams operate..

In a month it will leak that its more serious and he's out for the year

I'll honesty be shocked if that doesn't happen

 

[ill steelo]

Now his conditioning will be completely thrown off, and he very well could gain even more weight from all the time off & lack of activity.

This pretty much takes him out of ROY. Who told him that gaining 30+ pounds in one summer was a good idea Bron & Dwight gradually turned into the hulk, it wasn't overnight.

At least this opens up more mins for Oak & Noel so they can increase their trade value.

I see no lies here.

**** Sam Hinkie and his process too.

*Offers Wade 20 Mil and rest of capspace

*Offers Bosh leverage with league doctors

Still not enough, right... What championships tho? Shoyaright

I find it hard to believe he gained 30 lbs or was playing at 220 during the season. Probably closer to 240.
