I think he can be a 1A/B, but would need a similar tiered scoring option.

I hate to say it, but the other day I was thinking pass first Harden would've been nice with this team


This train left the station long ago

I would prefer old ( Sixers times ) Ben Simmons


PHI Ben Simmons came up small against Trae Young when he had prime Embiid, how can he be expected to do any better with Bridges?

Hate for Ben is real even here


Idk he might wake up tomorrow and decide he is not afraid to shoot the ball anymore , strangest things happened whats consider human brain

Some of you it’s just like a **** crowd from general board , like to poke the guy who’s clearly down

He got back issues, it’s series and can immobilize even the best athletes in their primes

He’s with the team , rooting hard , he could’ve sit home plying COD like Kyrie /Kd did often , what you want him to do , get on the court and break his back completely so we can file exemption?

He is a multi-millionaire, not a make a wish kid. Stop coddling him. He may have back issues but it hasn't stopped him from cashing those checks.

He's built really thin, too.

That fact particularly gobsmacked me when I realised what an *ironman* he's been, going all the way back to HS from what I understand.

I mean... skinny as a rail, I'm kinda used to seeing that from talented PG's and PF's (like Durant), but as a 6'6" wingman, it seems kinda unusual.

Then again, it seems to suit his game, no..?

Bridges needs to be paired with a good PG, and a stretch 5 to pair with Claxton.

Honestly I can't even say how nice it is to have guy like Bridges after the last 4 years.

Somebody who shows up and plays every single night. Never causes issues. Is happy to be here. No drama. And just an overall good guy.

Thank God the divas are gone. All 3 of them can go to Hell.

This is a group he can bond with give me bridges leadership over embiid. Ben wants to be here. His around group of guys that will support him not throw him under the bus.

PHI has supported him for years and Ben didn't return the favor. He got the max deal, he got the perfect teammates to win a ring, and he didn't deliver when it mattered most.

Ben wanting to be here is not a good thing. It is a sign that we still are not holding players accountable. Ben is supposed to be a star, not a cheerleader

Spoken like a true Philthy fan :lol:

They were one unlucky bounce away from winning a chip.

I can live with Craptors winning chip though. They always be that fat joint no one will ask for a date.

DVR is a thing of beauty.

Like I've been saying. Bridges showing all signs of Khris ( some of you need to look up that guy ), can he prove me wrong and show Joe Juses level talent? I will never forget when Joe was giving it to LBJ led heat.

If Bridges is Joe Juses level type player... than we healthy Ben away from being legit contender. Of course we going to need legit coach along to begin any conversation.

PHI fans are doing cartwheels right now. They managed to dump the worst contract in the NBA for James Harden. Easily one of the worse trades in recent memory.

And no they were not an unlucky bounce from winning a ring. They were an unlucky bounce from winning the conference semifinals.
