With all that being said. I love where I am, and I am excited about this upcoming season. Big season for us! #Philly

Which one is it? Source please confirm. Seems like writers are getting lazy, dropping a fraudulent story and try to make it credible by

One second I'm reportedly upset to be in Philly, then the next I'm upset about trade rumors and having to leave Philly.

Damage control.

He loves the situation he's in where he's the third-string center behind guy who hasn't played in two years due to injuries? #damagecontrol

HAHA! TP. I literally wrote the same thing about the same time as you.

Wait, I know that this isn't where you were going with this (right?), but if Okafor is Timberlake, is Philly Britney and Boston Jessica Biel, because try as we might -

Lol, that video is hilarious .

Noooo. Wait....Timberlake is..me. Okafor is Brittney. J Biel is...Boston?

Wait, why do you get to be the Alpha Dog, lol?

Because I'm the one telling him to cry me a river!

Lol, you know I'm just making a joke, here, right?

Well....if I don't....I can cry you a river.

 My camp is extremely upset about Okafors behavior on Thanksgiving night in Boston and His defense.

Nice, this post is cracking me up

[PhoSita]

Honestly I'd think they'd be upset he hasn't been traded yet.

Danny is so pig headed ......he wants to play ball with midgets

So we continue to recruit undersized men at nearly every position .......and other than IT most can't hit a bull in the ars from three.

it'll be fun to see how he meshes with embiid and simmons.   Nice young trio there.

In terms of individual talent, it seems that way. But as a front line, as a team, their outside game is looking potentially very suspect. Can all of them play within 10 feet of the basket is the question I would have.

\they added some decent shooting via free agency. Nothing major, but the guys they added should help.

I was talking about the front line mentioned in your post. If none if them can shoot from outside of. 10 feet, philly has trouble.  Let's see how it plays out.

It sounds like Embiid might actually be able to shoot, tho.  Okafor has a mid-range game.

Can't really say the 76ers "tried like hell" to trade him when he's still a 76er

So Noel and Saric are available?  Let's get on that!

Agreed. Some sort of deal would've materialized around the draft unless teams have really soured on him.

You can't shoot unless you're on the floor, so there's that.

I'm starting to get the sense that the Celtics are going to get one of the sixers bigs before the season starts.

That's my feeling too.

All this talk about Cousins, Butler and Westbrook is a little silly.
