Philly has some intriguing players but they have stupid management. They tank and stockpile draft picks just to trade away their good players later on. They gave away Nerlens Noel for peanuts and I wouldn't be surprised to see them do the same with some of their other pieces. Their franchise hopes rest on a talented but constantly injured big guy and a guy in Ben Simmons who is probably bolting as soon as he hits free agency.

Crean's like a 7 at the bar that thinks he's a 10. He's above average and has some solid suitors, but he thinks he's too good for them. He holds out for the 10 he thinks he deserves but at the end of the night he goes home alone.

Embiid is talented no doubt, but he has played 31 total games in 3 seasons. Maybe eventually he'll get healthy, but I wouldn't count on it. If all of Philly's pieces come together they might be good one day, but that's unlikely imo.

Crean's just getting out in front of it and saying that he's going to be picky so that way when no one hires him he has an excuse. Glass gave him nine years and countless resources to prove that he could build a consistent winner and he couldn't do it. I think he'll have a hard time finding a more supportive athletic director than Fred Glass.

For me I look at a guy like Noah Vonleh for a comparison. They're both probably stretch 4's. Vonleh has the tools to be a perfect one. He's 6'9, with a 7'4 wingspan. He can shoot the ball pretty well, and he's very athletic, much more athletic than Bryant. He was much better coming out of college than Bryant is right now into and he has struggled so far in his career. I just don't see TB having a career in the NBA, but I could be wrong.

Bryant played like he was a wing last year and dropped weight to be more of a perimeter player. He's gonna have to add a bunch of mass to play in the post in the NBA. He'll never be quick or athletic enough to play on the wing.

Pacman's gonna mentor him.

Yeah that's what I'm not sure about. I didn't know if they only put them through workouts or if they meet with the players, interview them, etc. as well.

I'm assuming OG won't get one since he can't work out, right?

At the very least he could've given us a [emoji102]! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yes we're back to interpreting vague social media posts!! I missed this haha

I shouldn't laugh because I feel bad for the kid, buttttt I laughed. Lavor Ball is going to sabatoge his kids. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/report-nike-adidas-under-armour-150853271.html

0% chance Bryant stays 40% chance Blackmon stays Those are my completely arbitrary numbers. If Blackmon stays I see Cujo leaving. There won't be time for him next year and we're recruiting some top guards in 2018. The rumors of TB missing classes, him not being at the Hoosier Showcase and Archie not talking about him make me think he has already made his decision. It seems like Blackmon is intrigued by the thought of playing for Archie. I think he wants to play pro ball next year, but I also think he's interested in coming back because of the way Archie would use him.

Looks like the kid got the attention he was looking for.

Lmao someone found one of Trubisky's old NSFW tweets.

I don't really think Glass was the one who screwed him over. I think he was in a tough spot and had to make the call. It seemed to me like it was a few disgruntled players who came forward with these allegations to spite him, based on all the players coming out in Wilson's defense after he got fired and speaking out against what the few former players were alleging.

Fake ID during little 5. I really hope we never go back to those days.

Not sure if it's of any significance but jbj is working out with this guy.

Turns out I screenshotted it like 2 and a half years ago lol.

Why would he do that?

I haven't liked Troy since hearing about the incidents involving him and Luke Fischer when they were freshmen. I don't root for him to fail or anything, but I was happy that he left last year and I'm not interested in following his career.

Tom isn't quick enough to play on the perimeter and he's not strong enough to play in the post in the NBA. He has poor footwork. I don't think he can really guard any of the positions. We saw him get manhandled by no-name bigs many times last year. I remember him getting worked on the block by Fort Wayne's boys. I wish him well, but I'll be very surprised if he has an NBA career.

I still kind of feel like Wilson got screwed over, but if Allen ends up being a better coach I won't be upset about it. I fully expect Wilson to try and drop 50+ on us in the season opener.

Not really a Colts fan, but I wouldn't be mad if my favorite team took him. He served his punishment and deserves a second chance.

Wow Marshawn Lynch is going to the Raiders.
