    I see that two really good organizations, Spurs and Warriors, just signed guys to two-way contracts. There is no downside to this. Why doesn't our GM do it?

    I like Watford as a two-way contract.

    I don't think most fans worry about the end of the bench. Sure, you'd like a Lakers situation where you have talented ring chasers who except bottom dollar, and maybe see the floor once a week at the most. That ain't gonna happen in rip city. Most of those ring chasers are literally paying to to be on that team due to higher cost of living. Unless they're all shackin' up with LeBron. Watford is probably the closest to having a playable game at this moment. I'm more concerned with the health of the team going forward. I would love to have a dead eye shooter to strengthen the bench. Someone like JJ Reddick . But i'm not gonna lose sleep worrying about who's in the, 13th to 15th ,roster spots as two way players.

    Sounds like things are going exactly as planned for the 76ers. He'll be back in their good graces within the week!

    I thought the Sixers were smarter than this. I said earlier in the Summer that they were on the clock and that they had to get something done before camp. Well they thought they were slick and could get Simmons' value higher and now they have a fucking circus and every other GM in the league has more leverage.

    Edit: Also they should tell Embiid to shut the fuck up about "babysitting" and not caring about Simmons or fine his ass.

    I wonder if Simmons and Doc have met and cleared the air about what was said by Doc at the end of last season? It's pretty obvious that Simmons being kicked out is being leaked by Doc or one of the coaches. Morey didn't leak this and if Simmon leaked it there would be a different narrative. Not excusing what Simmons did but it's strange this came leaking out of the Sixers today.
