    I think so. But it is his back that is the bigger issue.

    All-Star selection is NO way to judge a players talent level. But you already knew that right?

    I think his main problem is and has always been his head.

    wouldn’t he make more sense for the Lakers than Derozan would though?

    Obviously it's not, but given the content of the tweet to which his post referred, it's absolutely relevant to point out.

    Simmons is a unicorn. Find another body like his with his skill set. Extremely talented and actually a sad story to me. I guess I don't know the entire story out of Philly but everything with him went south after what many said was being called out by Doc and Embiid for blowing the playoffs for them. Clearly he didn't because Joel and Doc couldn't get it done with any roster they cobbled together!

    He's 27 on a hefty contract but has not been healthy, imho (mentally or physically), since leaving Philly. His numbers while at Philly were pretty insane. Then there's his defense...nothing to say there, everybody knows he has potential to be one of the best in the league.

    Did Brooks just clobber Lebron? I couldn't tell but it looked pretty blatant to me.

    Brooks baited Vanderbilt into getting tossed, then hit LeBron with a flying karate chop.

    Rockets beat Lakers.

    Bobby Portis shot 2-13, but he's batshit crazy, so Doc Rivers was too scared to take him outta the game.

    Nuggets win.
