    Debatable. If he ends up on an eastern team, all star isn't a pipe dream.

    Even with his playoffs struggles he can still do enough in the east to get an all star nod.

    Doubt it. His rep is all torn to shreds and teams now know to hack him to take him out of the game.

    You'd have to comprehend the analogy first amirite?

    There are lots of poorly made YouTube channels.

    You know that.

    Simmons racked up his third-straight All-Star nod in the east. Like sure his rep is fked, but he got three already playing the way he plays. I find it not too hard to believe how he can't make all star in the weaker east conference.

    Injuries do happen, he gets in as a sub sooo many variables to account for. All i know is he has a chance.

    I'd like some of that action.

    Give me 8-5 odds for half. Tip jar?

    Moving away from Philly/Embiid will increase his #'s big time IMO. Balance that out with being in the West. He probably won't go to a contender. (still a big unknown though) Also, some bad PR right now...
    A few factors...

    Or you'd have to provide an appropriate analogy.... to analogize something....

    Perhaps you should listen to Sixers fan instead of just dismissing their opinions due to your insecurities.

    Yea but now the NBA knows Simmons' mental state and they are going to test in new ways until he can prove otherwise.

    Does someone who has gotten worse every year project to overcome and live up to the max contract?

    What u said makes sense. I just find it somewhat hard to believe that he can't make all stars in the east. Especially if they trade him to a team where he is the centerpiece.

    I'd want in on this too. A team led by simmons where he wants to be the focal point and supposedly best player won't be that good. If he gets traded west, it's a wrap.

    Because confidence is a very fickled thing with athletes. Simmons knows the crowds are going to be a lot louder until he can hit FTs..... how is that going to affect his game? He's a devastating transition player.... but will he be afraid to continue to be aggressive in that way?

    There's a decent chance he's just broken and will only be a defensive player with minimal playmaking. Is that worth a max?

    LOL.... So me literally posting a link to the Sixers most popular podcast is "alternate realities" aka "fake news".... Like I can literally go and prove this occurred in this reality....

    Just take a break bro.... Stop with all the Donald Trump "fake news" because you're feelings got hurt.
