    Wow... I have been very critical of Nurk lately but he played like a man tonight... completely shut down Embiid. Nurk is on another level when he plays with the passion he had tonight... Embiid couldn’t even get a shot off in the post... all his points came off wide open 3’s... I just got to keep reminding myself Nurk is only 23. He has top defensive center upside

    Come on man Trust The Process!

    We need to tank, average 20 wins a year for six years, get a shit ton of lottery picks so we can still lose to a mediocre team without their best player.

    Who wouldn't want that?

    We maybe don't need to do it, if so put Turner on it. Turner is way worse, he just don't fit the system. Turner and put our first round on it. We need him away from our team.

    Attaching a first just to get rid of Turner is honestly just about the worst idea possible, no offense.

    They fought inside and made the extra pass down low when Philly expected them to push it outside. And they got physical under the basket more than I have ever seen them this year. Aminu had over 10 rebounds alone. Finishing at the rim for tough baskets made all the difference.

    Defense wins championships. What this team needs is an elite three and D perimeter defender. Say Iron Man 2.0

    Also, for everyone hating on Neil, is there a GM better at getting something for nothing? Shabazz and Nurk are legit NBA talents... i still think this team has as much talent as any in league, just that the pieces don’t quite fit... hopefully Neil can see this and package CJ for high level small forward to balance roster. Shabazz can do what CJ does, but at a cheaper cost and with better defense

    I Really like the idea of Trading CJ to Balance the roster and Keep Napier on a Cheap Contract. Napier can do all the things that CJ can do, and he is a better playmaker, Defender and Passer. But we would still have the problem of being undersized at the Guard positions

    Before considered trade CJ we gotta change the coach system. Try another system. Turner needs to go I doubt this team will be successful with him. Dude looks a L in person. Remember last year we play better without him. Shabazz have nba talent we just need better coaching. CJ is a hell of special. Don't need to trade him

    You think this team has as much talent as any in the league? That's a rather Kingspeed thing to say.
