Is Ben Simmons going to play this season? I certainly hope so, for at least a few games, just to give him a taste and to help better prepare himself for what it will be like playing against legit NBA pros. And thanks, glad to be here. I joined 4-5, and copied the list of 50 alternatives to a word document that someone posted. Not sure how long I will ultimately be around, but I hope at least a couple of these places stay active. Nobody knows. Apparently Colangelo hasn't been too upfront about Simmons and Embiid's injuries. In all honesty - I'd be completely fine with them sitting out the rest of the season. It's all about next year. Hopefully 2 more lottery picks and a nice free agent signing to build around Simmons and Embiid. I get those that are frustrated with 'The Process' - but it was all about next year. It's almost over. I don't want to risk the future by rushing Embiid and Simmons back. They're the future of this team.

Would be nice to see him for the final month of the season to see how well he meshes with Embiid and Saric and how well he runs 'Point Forward' before the draft - i.e. if they're going to need a legit PG or a quasi combo PG/SG. Big difference if Lonzo Ball's and Markelle Fultz's and Dennis Smith Jr's games IMO. I love all of 3 - but I think Ball is more of a creator and a distributor while Fultz and Smith Jr. can score when needed to.

"Rumors of Okafor to the Pels for a #1 is all over the place. Curious to see if that pick is 'unprotected' and what other restrictions (if any) are on it." I don't believe that one, but I'm hoping we deal Noel. Rumors now about Oak to the Pacers. Wonder if it's all a smokescreen and teams using Colangelo - apparently they're interested in Lopez from the Nets too - and the Nets dropped their asking price from 2 Number 1s to a Number 1 and a 2nd Rounder. I'd still scoff at that. What has Lopez ever done?

Even LeBum himself couldn't raise that Nets team to a competitive level. I do get an opportunity to watch a number of Nets games. Lopez is an incredibly strong talent in the league. He would be gold to any team that can get him. And his brother Robin is pretty darn great, too. My Knicks had him last year, wish we still had him. Ask a Bulls fan how happy they are with Robin. You'd be even happier with Brook.

Uhh, you do realize that All Star starter...hell, All Star Game MVP!... Anthony Davis plays for one of the worst teams in the league. I guess you wouldn't want him. Wow, this dope wouldn't take an All Star Game MVP because he plays for one of the worst teams in the league. I can't make this up, folks.

Dario Saric, who I'm a big big fan of, should see the court more now after our blockbuster trade with the ATL.
