    What Morey doesnt understand is that of the nonstars in the league, CJ probably has the best chance of making the all star team out of anyone he can get.
    CJ is extremely gifted. If he could run point, i beleive he could be close to Allen iversonesque.

    There is no denying his handling skills.

    him and Imbeeid, Harris and shooters could be lethal.

    He's cracking. You can tell by the desperate dialogue he's giving the media. My guess was that he trades Ben the first week of the season but i think it's going to be a bit longer now. I still don't think he's going to waste Embiid's prime and destroy the season.

    He doesn't have much time left. It's going to happen soon.

    More and more, I think "mental case" or "high maintenance". I see my interest in having him continually diminish.

    Both Morey and Ben doing their darndest to lower Ben's value. At the rate it is going, give it another couple of months and we can trade Blevins for Ben (might have to throw in a Snell or a McLemore as well though).

    This is nothing more than a strategy. The moment he gets moved, he will instantly be better, and despite some rust, will come ball his ass off.

    who says Simmons can't be coached? He's saying exactly what Rich Paul coached him to say

    Sounds like he's not getting traded

    If I’m any other NBA team I’m watching this and thinking there’s no way I’m hiring Morey when he inevitably gets fired.

    It's all theater at this point from both sides.

    Loved Orville btw. I thought the satirical storylines were creative and hilarious. Especially loved the one where they found an iPhone in a time capsule and tried to identify some of the abbreviations for texting.

    Did it start right around the time of the writers strike? I feel like I remember that having something to do with it. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I don’t think so… it’s only a few years old. Maybe I’m just not remembering.

    I am wondering if it was a numbers issue. I think if you watched a few episodes you got hooked on it. But most friends I asked if they watched....had never heard of it. That could be just my age group though.

    I think at first glance people might think it's just a goofy sitcom, but I think they really tried to delve into some deeper issues too. I really liked the show.
