    So they're...a little worse today than yesterday? Amazing that's all it took to get a #1 overall pick from 2017.
    You're saying the 76ers are worse? How do you figure?

    I dunno if Simmons is generally considered to be a better player today than Fultz. However, I could see the argument that Simmons won't play nearly as much as Fultz did, so whoever is taking Fultz's minutes is better than him and making the team better.

    That also could've been solved by, just, playing Fultz less though.

    Fultz hasn't played in months and while Simmons has struggled this year he is better than nothing. Sixers desperately needed some bench depth it's a decent move if Jonathon rounds back into form.

    Just about anyone is a better player than Fultz right now, even if he was on the court. He's been out since November.

    They are trading him at the nadir of his value but it makes sense for the extra depth in the near term.

    Whether the aggregate of all of these "win-now" moves ends up being the right decision is a much bigger question.

    Lebron drafted KD, Kawhi and AD for his All-Star roster. AKA, 4 of the starting 5 of the 2020 Lakers.

    If they added a big money incentive and the players actually tried it would be amazing

    Rondo with the buzzer beater to sink the Celtics.



    Is a good, tight win against one of the best teams in the East and your franchise's biggest rival enough to unite this LA team?

    ...Probably not lol

    yuh the LeBrons should sneak in over the Kings and the Spurs are catchable. Clipps gutting themselves shoot the odds way up. him getting swept again by Golden State only in the first round instead of the Finals would be fitting.

    The NBA has been getting a lot of flak for how much the stars and superstars have been constantly pushing their own movement, but really, LeBron with the Lakers shows hard it still is to make things come together.

    The 76ers are looking amazing. Simmons and Boban = East champs and I think they can easily hang with the Warriors.

    they paid a high price but getting harris/boban was so good for them. mike scott is really solid also.

    Gasol has been a very fun addition for the Raps. They gave him the ball a ton in the 4th quarter here against Brooklyn and his play making and scoring has just been a delight to watch
