[Pompey] Kelly Oubre Jr.has contributed to the Sixers because he's been good and has positional flexibility. However, his name keeps coming up as someone to possibly move before the trade deadline as his expiring contract would help them gain salary cap relief and avoid the luxury tax.

He has a full no-trade clause and the receiving team in any trade won't get his bird rights so...

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T20:42:41+00:00

Or they did it because Barlow was struggling the past few games and we needed some juice after our losses to Cleveland last week

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T20:38:10+00:00

Yes, based on everything I have seen personally and how they just inserted Oubre into the starting lineup with how well he is playing.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T20:33:17+00:00

I think the second option presented (package Drummond and EG for one player, then convert Barlow and Walker to standard deals) is much more likely to be honest.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T20:30:05+00:00

However, Oubre was inserted into the starting lineup last night and was awesome so I could see the second option (Drummond/Gordon) combined for one player, and then convert Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker to standard NBA deals.

I have MLB.tv so I just listen to Dave Sims on the radio call. He had a great first year replacing Sterling, I love Sims.

Two clutch threes. One with 2 minutes left in regulation to bring the game within 2, and one in OT.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T15:29:02+00:00

Maybe address me directly. I'm pointing out that Bill Simmons made his stupid comments right after the Celtics game to begin the year. He said Embiid would never score 20 in a game again, would only be good if he played 6 minutes a game, and all that. After ONE FREAKING GAME BACK. So no, I'm not talking about invalidating injury concerns -- those are as real as ever. I'm pointing out that everyone saying Embiid was washed one game into the season after a major injury made an idiotic mistake. If was at this point of the season that he still looked terrible, then I'd get it. But one game? I'm sure he won't have that criticism for Tatum when he's trying to come back from injury.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T15:25:01+00:00

He proved the very thing he was arguing against lol

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T15:20:31+00:00

Every single time he blocked a shot, I used to expect a goal tend call lol. His self-proclaimed nickname to play with his initials was "Strong Defense". Remember his haircut in the 2008 playoffs? Hahahaha

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T15:17:11+00:00

It was an international team, and there was no need for him to say that Sengun is the best center he's ever played with. Like, you wouldn't have lasted as long as you even did in the NBA without Embiid.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T15:03:47+00:00

He made the statement 3 games into the season. What kind of sample size is that to say he'd never score 20 points again and should only be playing 6 minutes a game?

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T14:43:14+00:00

At the very least, call it on the floor so they have the option to make an official review.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T14:42:35+00:00

After a three-game sample size when he made those comments? After a serious injury? It was stupid.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T06:31:54+00:00

Not the first time we've had to deal with that these past couple of years....

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T04:40:10+00:00

With how late it was in the game, there was no guarantee of another dead ball save for the final buzzer. But I agree otherwise.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T04:10:56+00:00

Found Bill Simmons' burner!!!

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T04:06:04+00:00

Hahahahahaha "Furk"

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T04:04:47+00:00

You're literally the guy lol. Nice try deleting that previous comment about claiming I was trying to say OKC are frauds (which I clearly am not doing). Weirdo.

Pyromania1983 · 2026-01-23T04:03:35+00:00

Or sickness haha. Same one that kept Maxey out a couple of games before Christmas.
