Goddamn man. Cant believe Bean is gone for real. 2020 really started with some BS.

rondo has been in the league for 10+ years. ben is an elite defender. he'll be around for a while.

Play him at PF on a team with shooters and an actual PG (which basically every team in the league has other than Philly) and problem solved. Would flourish. He'd be an absolutely elite secondary ballhandler.

Blake also had a real solid career before developing one and Freak might be the best in the world already without one.
It's definitely great to have especially in today's game but I don't think a guy like Simmons is necessarily doomed to mediocrity if he never develops one

CROCODILE RONDO!
Rondo been shooting a tick under league average for 6 seasons in a row. And he’ll take them

Giannis is unguardable 1 on 1. Let’s not forget Simmons got locked up by Baynes earlier this year.

Swap Simmons for JB on the Cs and he'd be flourishing.

Kobe cover is cool and all but 2k20 has been the worst 2k in a long time in terms of gameplay

Ben plays his best basketball when Embiid isn’t there. I don’t know how philly makes it work tbh. They are badly built

Not basketball related, but Novak Djocovid and his wife just had a negative test. Basically 1 week from when he had the positive one.

Like I said, I get it.
But as long as he's your PG, it's basically impossible to build a true title contender with him. A lot of money for a PG who can't score or create for himself when the NBA gets down to the final 8.

Should of made the move to PF awhile ago.

Yeah but those guys w/o a jumper were prolific scorers.
They also weren't point guards.
Ben Simmons is not a prolific scorer, and he doesn't have wiggle like that to mitigate the lack of shooting. Forget 3's, he doesn't even take the middy, as a PG.
Royally ****** committing that much money to a starting PG who can't score. He will literally put up a 4pt game in game 3 of a semi finals.
In game 2 of the 76ers / Raptors series, he scored 6 points. In Game 4 he scored 10. In game 5 he scored 7.
HES GOING TO BE MAKING 177M dollars. I've become more of a fan of Ben and appreciate all that he can do, but it's really quiet for him until he at least becomes a PF and he can't be Giannis in Philly with Jojo down there

Bens a 4. He’s always been. You won’t max his talent with him playing the 1 or 4 with Joel. And his outright refusal to take a damn jump shot...goes beyond just being a bad shooter. It’s truly detrimental to a team. And selfish tbh.
Sixers COULD get hot tho. I’m rooting for it.

One of the most overrated things in basketball is playmaking. Once you hit the final 8, if you're truly serious about winning, you gotta have hoopers who can give you 25 to 30 regardless of defense.
Not someone who's going to average *checks notes*
11 points a game in a playoff series
177 MILLION DOLLARS. 11 points a game. Ahhhhh
Nah it's real quiet for bro.
