2021-22 Sixers Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

@jmorovich suggested that it was time to retire the 2020-21 Sixers Thread, and start a 2021-22 Sixers Thread, and I concur.

Training camp is about to start for the Sixers, and pretty soon we'll have the opening tap for the season opener.

Lost in all this Simmons nonsense I totally forgot Zumoff retired. Made me a little sad again. Gonna really miss him calling these games. Going to be a bit of a culture shock for the first couple of games. Wishing Kate the best.

Report: Kate Scott to Replace Marc Zumoff and Call 76ers Games on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Kate Scott will take over play-by-play duties for the 76ers and NBC Sports Philadelphia, taking over the job for retired Mark Zumoff.

That’s a great article and about as damning a piece as I have ever read. Simmons = turd. He will never play for Philadelphia again and he is hurting his own value by sitting out.

I thought Hayes went a little over the top but perhaps this was a reaction to his being sick of the whole charade. Honestly, this is a terrible look for Simmons. I really believe that if he somehow found the will to shoot he’d be another Magic Johnson, with better defense.

$33 million is a lot of cash to give up. And he’s under contract for another 3 or 4 seasons? I think the Sixers should let him rot if he doesn’t report. If he’s willing to lose $100 million I say let him.

that's kind of Marcus Hayes's MO, unfortunately.

Simmons has 4 years left on his deal at $33 million per year? If I was the owner, I be tempted to never trade Simmons and make him lose $132 million and the 25 to 29 years old part of his career.

4 years to learn how to shoot

 

[jmorovich]

Well well well….looks like $hit is getting real for Mr Simmons and his camp. Hard to call the shots when you have little to no leverage.
