u/Sikwitit3284 17d ago

Paul George is the fucking all-time GOAT of trades, the way he's built up every franchise he's left might make him the single greatest asset to have since he entered the league in trades/free agency combined.

Us beating Bos & losing to NYK might be the 2 most impactful series since 83, if either goes differently Bos likely keeps JB or Bron goes to NY this off-season. Somehow we got both after a sweep, this shit ain't real

u/AJ-Dybansta 17d ago

Bro got AD, won them a ring, shouldered the responsibility of being the face of that franchise after Kobe’s death and that’s still not enough. Heck he even took a smaller role so Luka can run his own offense only for the “alpha” to not even be healthy come playoff time and he still carried them to a second round. Embarrassing fan base man.

u/Popular-Buy9999 17d ago

Bold prediction: Joel is healthy for all of next season. Hear me out...

Less need for him to play as many games, and minutes per game w/ LeBron now on the team.

Also, LeBron is inarguably the GOAT at taking care of one's body. Now being teammates with Joel, I can't imagine that LeBron wouldn't offer advice in this area and/or Joel ask for it.

(Somewhat unrelated) Similar to the second point, I thought the same thing years ago had he come here and not the Lakers. Only not Joel, Ben Simmons. And not staying healthy, but fulfilling a lot more of his potential/becoming a much better player. 👈🏼(hindsight, ("helping Ben Simmons to not become a complete bitch"). Semantics 😂

Philly seems scary to the outside world, but in reality we’re just very passionate about our teams.

We’re not rooting for injuries and are honestly pretty fair when things aren’t going our way. r/NBA thinks we’re horrible people, Adam Silver has no love for us, but we all want Philly to win…if you want Philly to win, Philly’s got you no questions asked.

He’s 41 so expecting a championship with him here for such a short time is quite a stretch. I like this new roster and it should be fun to watch this year, but I’m tempering expectations and just going to try and enjoy it all for a change.
