I don’t even understand how that works. Does he just end up eating a big pile of sauce-y cheesemush with a fork and knife? What the fuck is wrong with him?

What’s “going on here” is the Sixers deciding they’d rather keep a big man on their bench, as an emergency reserve, rather than pay him to play for another team. While the player thinks he has an inalienable right to playing time, and that if the team that drafted and pays him won’t do it, that they are supposed to…

And I agree with most of what you’re saying too - I completely understand the importance of role players, especially in making the marginal difference on competitive teams. I’ve argued that Covington and McConnell are the true avatars of ‘The Process’ as much as Embiid, for finding and signing real NBA contributors in…

They are deliberately keeping him from playing because he is a minus player. What a nefarious heel Brett Brown is, caring about winning games more than capitulating to a mediocre player who thinks he’s deserving of playing time simply because of where he was drafted.

That WASN’T Bill Fichtner playing the shucker? Huh.

As a Penn Stater, I never want to hear John fucking Ziegler’s name again either.

I’ve long called bullshit on real FA ramifications from both front office groups. They’ve got owners willing to spend, a rabid fan base sporting the second-highest home attendance in the league, and a major metropolis with a really good quality of life for young people, even if it’s not New York, Miami, or LA. When…

JJ has been very open about what he was looking for in a free agency destination and why and how Philly fit the bill. Not to rub it in, but this could literally not be more different from committing $240 million in long-term money to Crabbe, Turner, Leonard, Harkless, and Ezeli in one offseason.

He has not shown that he can be a decent backup. He’s shown he can put up decent offensive numbers given a certain amount of minutes and touches - which his defensive failings and stagnancy even with the ball make impossible to give him on a competitive team. In the right situation, could he be a version of Nik…

I’m well aware, as I’ve watched probably 80-90 percent of Sixers games since they drafted Iverson when I was nine. They overpaid JJ to get him to sign a one-year deal that fit their salary flexibility, not because he needed to be sweetened on coming to Philly. But listen to the way stars around the league talk about…

The Sixers’ gutting their roster was supposed to harm their future dealings with free agents. The Sixers’ ‘Hinkie Special’ contracts were supposed to harm their future dealings with free agents. The Sixers’ tanked seasons were supposed to harm their future dealings with free agents. The Sixers’ medical secrecy was…

I mean, keeping Schiano is obviously worse, from a PR, on-field, and looking-in-the-mirror-every-morning perspective.

This is helpful, interesting info, that also made me double-check to see whether it was sponsored content from Hopper.

There’s no middle ground between firing him and being okay with it? I’d think that Kidd pulling Giannis aside at practice today and saying “We love your competitiveness and that you hate to lose. But as the franchise player, you cannot undermine the authority of a coach in front of the rest of the team - if you’ve got…

Yeah, this going after Presidential children horseshit has got to stop. It was disgusting the way adults mocked Chelsea Clinton’s looks, and it was also inappropriate for the Bush twins to be talked about like they were alcoholics for the same kind of college partying we handwave away for everyone else. Sasha and…

Enzo too, right? I know he’s got arm and chest hair, I haven’t paid particular attention to his pits recently.

Eh, $425 million? That’s pocket change left over from the hush money now that Ailes and O’Reilly are gone.

If Tyrod Taylor wanted to keep his job, maybe he shouldn’t have single-handedly allowed 200 rushing yards to the Jets and 300 to the Saints, and given up 135 points in three weeks.
