Joel Embiid has a Message for the City of Philadelphia
Editor’s note: I am allowing this post because I don’t consider it to be a Sixers post. It’s basically a Union post. The moratorium remains in effect. Real recognize real: Make sure y’all show love to the in our city tonight but let’s first get this dub #DOOP #Philly — Joel Embiid...

Harden also accepted a pay cut 15 mill
Still don't get why drop Jalen.Dude can talk Bball and Football. They're determined to have non athletic talking heads
I hope they bring the podcast with Jacoby to the Ringer.
That's been over for months or almost a year
I know Jacoby went back already would be a natural fit.
Jacoby solo?
I think he jumping around you know he big in the reality shows so he is a perfect utility player over there.

Fuck WANNY!
I was surprised by this KG take-- Not sure I agree the Suns are or should be Booker's team and definitely find the "it's time for them to be spot up" take dubious.
Ahead of the newest episode of Ticket & The Truth that’s dropping Monday, Showtime released a clip of Garnett and Paul Pierce discussing the two all-time greats and Garnett thinks their time as ball-demanding stars on the floor should come to an end.
“LeBron and KD—it’s time for them to be spot up,” Garnett told Pierce. “We done gave the ball to them for, like, ages. This is 20 years where I gave them the ball, telling them … can they play off the ball once? Can they go in the corner and now someone make a play, make it for them to get a free shot?”

@therealjondoe -- I was amazed at one name on this list:
I honestly wouldn't question it if not for your boy being on there but now I put an asterisk on every name after CP3 because that's gotta be partially due to stat inflation, which I think distorts a lot of modern stat comparisons to previous decades. (It was ridiculous how many times last year somebody's statline was the first since Wilt to do something!) But it's still a credit to Herro.

Two more championships and I’m on board.

He's good, people just love to hate on him

Loon is underrated for sure
3x champion, non-factor in one but played a role in the second and the third doesn't happen without him.
He was top 15 in rebounds last year, top 5 in offensive rebounds, playing 24 minutes per game. In the playoffs, he was third in rebounding and second in offensive rebounding.
I think Draymond's proclamation was premature but Looney is only 27. I think there's a chance. And if he contributes to two more titles the way he did the last one, he should be a lock. I think it's plausible with one more.
It's ammo for your Lillard argument, that's for sure!
Is Luke longley number retired?????@Complex @chemist @hatersvillethug

I was never a Bulls fan but I was truly happy when the Bulls beat the Jazz in the Finals twice. I never liked Malone and Stockton at all. And,after what Malone did to Zeke(my second favorite non-Cavs player)I definitely didn't like him even more..
What was Luc Longley's big contribution to the Bulls? Was he ever essential? Was he ever top 5 in any important categories?
Jacoby got his buzz from doing reality show podcasts back in the day

The Lakers and Boston would have no numbers available if every role player should get a retired number
Fair point-- I think the standards should be relative. It could definitely be viewed as contradictory that I'm making the case for a possible Kevon Looney jersey retirement while decrying the Lakers announcement that they'll retire LeBron's number as a disgrace.
I don't think it is but by my standard in Looney's case-- being essential to multiple titles-- you'd definitely have Derek Fisher's number retired in LA and probably Robert Horry and I agree that would not make sense for the Lakers.
Should jason terry get his number retired in Dallas?Fair point-- I think the standards should be relative.
