    IIRC...

    Inman drafted Drexler, Porter, and Kersey (and drafted Bowie over Jordan and Barkley)

    Spolestra drafted Cliff Robinson and Drazen; and traded for Duckworth and Buck Williams

    I think Petrie signed Ainge and Rod Strickland and Chris Dudley.

    I forget who the GM was that traded Drexler to Houston

    I would consider being in favor of a CJ for Ben trade ONLY if the Sixers gave Portland a future 1st and/OR Thybulle -- I know some say I am crazy and Morey would NEVER do this but at this point while people want Simmons he is not nearly as valuable as Morey thinks and Simmons by saying he wanted out has kind of tanked his value a little bit and hurt the Sixers. It's possible in a few weeks or months the market for Simmons MIGHT pick up but at this point his value is less then it might have been if Simmons would have kept his mouth shut. I believe Morey and the Sixers have to decide if it's more important to get prime value for him and maybe bring him back to disrupt there legit chance for a ring OR take a little less and move on not give the team the headache of the situation. I guess only time will tell but this is almost the NBA's version of a soap opera so sit back grab some popcorn and a drink and let's see how this plays out should be interesting and maybe funny too.

    this also is news. he didn't like 2 days ago. he follows Ben's girl and has been for a while.

    this is not insignificant considering how Dame knows his every move on social is scrutinized

    Also Dame has to know the only way this happens is if CJ is traded. Which means he must be ok with that. WOW!

    Terrible. A miss went in.

    Sixers need a guard who can create his own shot and score in a tight game 7. That isn’t Green.

    This Playoff Ben?

    https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201904180BRK.html

    also- Ben didn’t play in 2020 playoffs and Sixers were swept in playoffs. Don’t forget that.

    It’s not all about offense. On the other side of the floor, he’s first option.

    That’d be great. Dame gives ball to wide open Simmons going 4 on 3! I’ll take that.

    And he was never a great FT shooter to begin with.

    Keep Kanter for what? To sit on the bench while RHJ plays instead?

    Yes that one does slide. And CJ has had other good series. He was actually good in the NOP series. Also good vs LAC and in his breakout series against Memphis.
