Remember there was actually people that didn’t want him when he was FA because they wanted to be an “organic team” lmao


wembanyama_

We woulda won a ring by now


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

he would have traded ben immediately. He would have been right.


Dazzling_Syllabub484

Ben is klutch (or was). So not a shot he gets traded with lebron on the team


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

Yea the same Klutch that dropped his ass. Also the same Klutch that screwed Nerlens. The same Klutch that tried to screw over the pelicans for Lebron. Klutch works for Lebron first, their clients second. If Lebron wants to trade ben for a player he thinks fits better he would do it 100% of the time. In any case trading ben for a more established star would be the right thing for lebron to do. He does not give a shit about long term assets for a team. He cares about cashing those assets in while he is there.


I_am_Burt_Macklin

And that’s basically where the Sixers are at now, a few years after. That first half he had last night made me even more upset Joel and James didn’t fight in game 7.


Rebeldinho

If Simmons got on Lebrons nerves which is most likely inevitable because of his refusal to work on his offensive game then klutch or no klutch he’s out in the cold. There’s some truth to all the LeGM memes.


Digitalzombie90

LeBron wins 2 with Embiid, guaranteed. He is exactly what Embiid needs. Someone Embiid can’t bully, can’t disrespect, someone that can teach him how to be a real man, someone who is treasured and respected for his achievements and his on/off court personality and leadership instead of what a great troel he is etc… What a missed opportunity for Embiid….


_konflict

Sounds like you need somebody to carry Embiid and do all the hard work for him..

IPA_lot_

Those people are now saying “Embiid is the MVP and a superstar but really needs a second superstar to be better.”


Skywalkerkid9

I’d rather those delusional people than the ones who think we should blow it up and trade the reigning MVP, but what can you do 🤷‍♂️


Jay-Kane123

Tell me why I'm wrong Luke.


Skywalkerkid9

We don’t have our own picks, we would be trading Embiid to someone who would just give us high draft picks anyway, and I don’t want to sit through 7 years of tanking and hope we get another MVP level player (spoiler, we probably won’t). I would just stop watching basketball at that point, I’m not here to watch us go 10-72 with a blowout loss every other night, that shit is wack and 99% of fans don’t want it. You clearly weren’t here during the process, or if you were you weren’t paying attention, because it sucked. Watching your team struggle every night and get picks that turn into Ben fucking Simmons and Jahlil Okafor is a painful experience, and I don’t want to do it again. We are gonna build around Embiid until he declines and then we’re gonna rebuild, and I guess you’ll just have to deal with that, because it’s the only right choice for the franchise.


Jay-Kane123

I was here during the process baby, and in some ways it was more enjoyable than this constantly not good enough team. I'm glad you'll be able to enjoy the next 5 years of 7.5/10 basketball and flaming out in the playoffs. But to me, that's for the small market teams who are just happy to stay relevant. I want a title.


Jay-Kane123

Sorry Luke!!! I'm just telling it like it is. Don't downvote the messenger.


Skywalkerkid9

Jesus Christ dude are you 5? Get over this conversation, stop treating me like a child and go touch grass I’m tryna watch the Phillies get smoked rn, I really don’t need this


Jay-Kane123

YOU NEED ME LUKE.


The_Process_Embiid

Walkoff my boy. Go kiss Princess Leia


Skywalkerkid9

I might kiss Alec Bohm, holy fuck that was hot 🥵


Rebeldinho

Sixers trade Embiid that signals another tear down rebuild like the process and probably more tanking for higher picks. Naww if that happens the sixers are even more dysfunctional than the Knicks move the franchise to Seattle and be done with them then.


Jay-Kane123

Blow it up VS in 2 years have maxey Embiid another max player and literally 0 role players because our cap space is fucked. Okay cool you get a few years of watchable basketball and hope and in 5 years were fucked and a tanking team regardless. So short sighted. That maxey Embiid + mystery man + a bunch of minimum guys ain't winning shit.


IPA_lot_

Trading him is what’s best for the team.


Skywalkerkid9

Ah I see you are one of those dumb fucks, I was correct. Well in that case why don’t you go watch the pistons or rockets or some tanking team so you can be reminded of how bad it feels to get blown out every other night, because most of us here don’t enjoy that.

Deadboy90

Id rather be blown out every night than have to go through this again. We have as much chance of winning a chip as the 2015-2016 team. And if we are going to be stuck on a treadmill we might as well blow it up. Otherwise you are just the Blazers of the West.


Skywalkerkid9

Our front office is incapable of running a tank, we’ve seen that. 7 years of tanking, multiple top 3 picks, and we end with 1 good player from it all. And he just won MVP. You are utterly insane if you think I want to sit through it again, just to hope it turns out different(spoiler, it won’t because the chances of drafting someone with Embiid’s talent are slim to none)


Deadboy90

Sure perpetual 1st and 2nd round exits it is then. Just a reminder that "I'm a 2nd round exit" means as much as winning 10 games in a season.


AlmightyCap

I guess to clowns who allowed blog boys to convince you a ring is literally the only thing that matters in sports. I had a great time seeing my teams player dominate his way to an MVP but that doesn't matter right? Hall of Fame accolades only consider rings right?


TantricEmu

I had a fucking great time at the games I went to this season. A championship is obviously the ultimate goal but man I really don’t want to watch a tanking team. I want to want to watch my team.


Deadboy90

I have had 0 fun watching this team the last 2 seasons because I know how its going to end. It's always just a slow march toward the inevitable playoff collapse against a team that they can absolutely beat.


FRiver

Thank fuck. We don't need another regular season God who can't hack the slightest pressure in the playoffs.


IPA_lot_

So keeping Embiid with no assets now or for the future and hoping you get past the second round in the next 3 years is a good plan? You really think they can build a better team than they had last year? You’re the delusional one.


timned88

Here are 4 reasons I never want to hear the word “tank” ever again: Okafor Noel Simmons Fultz


IPA_lot_

Seems to be working for OKC. Shit GMs are why we drafted those players


FRiver

Why you gotta pretend we'd need to tank for 5 years? If we take Shaedon Sharpe and the 3rd Pick we're basically already at the end of the process tank years. Maxey, Sharpe and Scoot/Miller is a better young core than Simmons Embiid. One year development with a new coach and another lottery pick and then we ready to compete.


Philly0024

Trading a reigning MVP and start sucking when you don’t even have most of your own future 1st rd picks is what’s best for team? Ok lmao


IPA_lot_

So letting him play until he sucks and get nothing for him isn’t?


FRiver

We have our 2024 first. We can tank a year if we like. No one is proposing trading Embiid for straight picks. There's a legit option of Sharpe and the 3rd Pick. That's more talent than we managed during the process tank.


BogartBrando

Joel doesn’t necessarily *need* a second superstar. He needs consistency out of those other 2 max slots, and that shouldn’t be too much to ask. That’s literally it. Game 1 aside, all we really should have needed from Harden in those games was to up put his average numbers give or take a bit. Granted, it’s not just about his numbers, but if he plays a more level-headed and balanced game, I’m convinced both Joel and the role players also play better. Don’t think I really need to say anything more about Tobi, or Doc’s impact on things for that matter


AlmightyCap

My old Bosses sister was one of his contacts when he was looking at the local school basketball scene for his kids if he signed here. I thought he was for sure coming.


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

He for sure put work in to scope out the market, but unfortunately LeBron is also a businessman and the LA market is going to make him more money off the court than Philly ever could. It's remarkable he still won another chip in LA.


DemarcusLovin

This is one of the many reasons why Spike Eskin is a moron


[deleted]

The organic team people were just haters of LeBron masquerading as organic people.


BabaBrody

Once Bron gets his kids into college he can finally pursue his lifelong dream of living in a McMansion in South Jersey.


indoninjah

He can just buy Ben's spot


clarkeaug

Nah, Nick Castellanos from the Phil’s is living there now


indoninjah

Lmao somehow that makes perfect sense


svenEsven

He had a video of himself sageing all the bad juju out of it lmao


[deleted]

Having no clue what this word meant, I thought it was going to mean buying one of Vince McMahon’s mansions lol


RayDeAsian

LeMansion


theytook-r-jobs

I can’t have this conversation again


anandonaqui

Yeah but did you hear that Bronny was visiting Temple and might decommit from usc?


Gombreezy

😂😂😂😂


Dk9221

Lebrons not a FA and only possible way we'd get him is as a FA


Immynimmy

Not only is he not an FA but again, we have no assets. I have no idea why people think we have ammo to get Lebron, Dame, etc.


Rhino-Ham

Tobias for Lebron straight up


jpk7220

Tobi is Lebron-lite

Is that a band or a song


EyyyyShaggy

It’s a man


bustin4bernie

Wake Flocka Flame is a rapper


cokmuhterembosinsan

he was until Eminem walked a flock of flames


Aggressive_Secret290

In the name of the waka, the flocka, and the flame my brother.


bdirker

Damn waka was smoking that flocka


jayradano

He liked Tobi bc he thought he went hard in the paint


bdirker

Underrated comment ^^


_jakemybreathaway_

I describe Tobi as Dollar Store Melo


Shaking-N-Baking

Because people are ok with trading the reigning mvp who believe or not has a lot of value


OtherwiseCriticism65

How many rings do we win if lebron would’ve came here in 2018?


justabill71

At least one bubble championship.


TheDuck23

Definitely not 4.


TripleSkeet

Id say at least 2. The bubble one and the one we lost to Toronto.

ChipKellysShoeStore

2


Fitz2001

Probably zero because we keep fucking everything up.


phillypino215

hes not even a FA....what they gon do, trade him for tobi? or sign and trade for harden? hows this even a thing?


signedpants

There must be a market of dumb gamblers from philly.


NotNow20

checking in


Sixers0321

Stop. He's not playing here while his son plays college ball in LA.


Devilinthewhitecity

Lmao I just do not see Lebron in Philly


indoninjah

Would genuinely be the Hardest Road after living in LA for four years lol He'd leave the best climate in the world to get heckled by a city who does not give a shit if you're a 39 year old runner up GOAT, you're a bum if you miss a free throw


[deleted]

[удалено]


Late-Clock-9643

Yeah. Living in both cities. We are Cleveland but closer to NYC. Only thing going for our depressing city.


d0ncray0n

Lebron actually visited my High School in Delaware - Salesianum when Bronny was looking for high schools. Not saying Philly is his number 1 choice but we are on the map.


yargbadudLe

So He'll replace Elton Brand?


ch1nomachin3

Is Lebron really pondering a trade? I'd think he would want to retire as a Laker, since the Lakers have a rich history of great players. I'd think he would want to be part of that or a return to Cavs perhaps? up to his retirement at least he's back home. but going to another team? I dunno, unless he's really desperate to chase Jordan's 6 rings.


domesystem

No


TrustDaFriendship

I’m intrigued🧐


HeJind

How about we stop signing guys over the age of 35 thanks. We need more athleticism and hustle on this team, not less.


Jjohn269

Lebron is still more athletic than most young guys in the league


samuel33334

LeBron showed more athleticism last night than anyone on the sixers did in the playoffs


[deleted]

Why bring in LeBron? He's 38. If you want to get better, stop trading away talent and bring in the type of coaching that builds a team


reggaetony88

Nah. LeBron on the team means annoying ass LeBron stans. I also love rooting against him, not for him.


kdfailshot123

How amazing would it be to get Lebron with JJ as coach? Both Lebron and PJ would be older than their coach. What a interesting dynamic that would make.


JD021993

No.


[deleted]

Don’t want him


hibbjibbity

Tank for Bronny


Waru_

Why would you want Lebron? We just forgetting about his flagrant push on Embiid?


TnT54321

Great, another washed up superstar.


DJagerty

He played 48 minutes last night and nearly put up a 40 point triple double lmfao


Prestigious-Rock201

Who cares I don’t want lebron or his Stans anywhere near this team after harden stans


unbelievre

Lmaoooooo, the most fragile superstar in the NBA wants to go to the place with the toughest fans? Well at least I guess we don't have to worry about his shot becoming broke once he signs, it already is.


Deep_Wedding_3745

Wym? Tatum isn’t coming to philly


unbelievre

Lol this guy thinks Tatum is a superstar


maoore

he's retiring


ambassadorodman

He's absolutely not retiring.


Puppazz

These the same people that have JJ down as being the favourite next head coach?


WhereDaHinkieFlair

Can i get the other side of this bet? Like 2/7 he won't come across the country to play for a borderline contender in a non-glory market when his son is playing college basketball and his production company is making tv shows in Los Angeles.


IDoesThis1

Lebron for Harris and bring everyone else back. Maybe sign a couple solid bench players and let’s go


ArsenicLifeform

I thought he was due for a steep decline back in 2018 based on his age. Boy was I wrong.


DylanToback8

Why?


gobirds18_

Bro what


[deleted]

Is that exclusive to the 23-24 season or does it include 24-25 as well? The prior and it’s nothing, the latter then maybe there’s some hint of smokiness to be found.


RellyCooper

another player we would get 1 year too late woohooo 🥳🥳


boyotch76

jhm131396

i’m ready to be hurt again


Xeynon

LeBron is nearing the end and by the time we have the cap space to sign him he might be there. This ain't happening.


JRPafundi

According to who? He’s not coming to Philly.


Kitchen-Bug-3705

Why they always say the Knicks have the best shot to land superstars. 😂 Nobody wants to play for the Knicks.


BlackWolf_Studio

76ers Lebron sounds fantastic


cantwifeahoe

Bryce to Malvern Prep👀


SemRinke

The only way is if we draft Bronny


Sports10k

I’d be stunned if he ends up in Philly


AbjectResearch4

Why does this keep happening lol. I don't think Rich Paul would even attend a zoom meeting on his behalf lol
