    I don't think dude would be happy here, but let's say he'd give an enthusiastic okay. I'd do it tbh. Sign me up for a core of

    Just let newly appointed Tank Commander Porter Jr. lead us to the #1 pick odds for a few months first.

    Have they seen John Wall? He’s a difference maker for Embiid.

    Well damn. You're not going to get an athlete to talk candidly like that very often about someone else.

    Is this the first time Morey admitted that nobody would trade star player for Simmons?

    Also too...when is the last time a star player was traded for a star player?

    I guess Paul for Westbrook certainly counts? It seems pretty rare.

    Seems like a collection of role players and picks is the price for a disgruntled star.

    Doesn't matter how good you think he is if he isn't playing.

    To be fair, Morey is now using the phrase "difference maker." That's seems broader than "star."

    Yeah, Wall is a difference maker. The Sixers could get a higher pick in the upcoming draft.

    Actually, I think "star" is broader than difference maker. A lot of players can be called a star but not really a difference maker.

    Yes, keep it rolling, Morey reads Clutchfans.

    Soon instead of us giving Morey fries with that order,
    Morey will end up giving us fries.
