As a Celtic's fan, watching that last series, Horford looked old and slow at times. not worth the money he is promised but good on him for getting the deal, silly by 6ers for paying it.

i have a feeling Brown will be moved on, even though he rebuilt that programme from a basket case to a contender, had injuries not impacted. but winning a title is hard to do.

No coach has job security, Brown has lasted longer than he should have already.

looking back Colangelo stuffed it all up lost patience with the process, firstly trading up for Fultz was a mistake then Brand has totally let if spiral after that.
They were 1 shot away form Finals last year so not that bad overall.
I think what people should be realizing is how important Simmons is to the lineup. most teams loosing a superstar would struggle. Unfortunately for the Sixers they have to get past Boston their bogey team, nor frustrating as Tatum could have been be a Sixer..

i thought it might be about the Australian Boomers team coaching job.

Brown will get the sack clearly and Elton Brand should follow closely behind him!

Brand has managed to stuff the roster completely with poor signing and over paying players.

Brown had his chance and not helped by Brand but this is the NBA life when you can't get it done!

They built a decent roster which would work better if the primary ball handler wasn't scared to shoot the ball.

"looking back Colangelo.." the Hawks guy? I don't follow the NBA.

#815979 Yes its the same Bryan Colangelo that's now involved with the Hawks.

What can you say of the process now? Have Embiid and Simmons, but the fails on Fultz, Okafur and Noel aren't great, trading Saric and Covington for Butler and ending up with Richardson another disaster. Brown was good while they were treading water and loading up on talent, but they need a change. Harris and Horford are bad contracts in hindsight, but Horford was supposed to be that veteran leader they needed with the youngsters. And the new coach has the have the same thoughts as Shaq and Barkley, insist Embiid stays in the post, no one in league can guard him there, don't let him roam on the perimeter.
Apparently Cleveland are in the mix for Simmons. If 76ers can swap Horford for Love that would bring some 3 point shooting to space floor for Embiid. Then some picks and Sexton and maybe some other throw ins might make it work. Cleveland are probably run worse than Philadelphia so they may overpay for Simmons for sure.

Sixers ran sixth in the east with Simmons, hardly a ringing endorsement. He's going to have to shoot the ball and not just on you tube in practice.

"And the new coach has the have the same thoughts as Shaq and Barkley, insist Embiid stays in the post, no one in league can guard him there, don't let him roam on the perimeter."

He doesn't roam on the perimeter, he tries to open the floor up because Simmons refuses to shoot.

Horford is still a solid player, but signing him when you already had Embiid and a 6-10 guy who can't shoot outside 10 feet running the point was idiotic. Brown is partly to blame but Philly’s roster balance this year was awful and that is on Brand. I wouldn’t be surprised if both of them get fired. It’s going to be a 'process’ for them to just get out of this mess

So what are the Lakers going to give up for Simmons, package of Caruso, Green and Rondo?
