I'm not sold on the current trade but his reputation also has to do with assembling a very good team out of thin air and winning the championship

I'd characterize him as more erratic than good or bad.

We also don't know what else is going to happen over the next ~month. If he can get both Hayward and Butler and they can get past LeBron to the Finals, then it's a good trade.

I watched a random interview with Ron Artest last night and ended up binge watching an hour's worth of footage of how insane this guy was. On and off the court, he's totally mental. Like he just spaced out sometimes with a blank look in his eyes as he committed his drama.

That's not even speaking of the malice in the palace, every word out of his mouth is crazy talk. loving legend. "I used to drink Hennessey at half-time; I kept it in my locker. I would just WALK to the liquor store near the stadium and get it." Of course he did.

Two words for you:

Just remember,
Joel Embiid will never play a full season
Plagued by knee and foot injuries until his rookie contract is up
The sixers dump him to Orlando

It's okay. Mo Bamba, drafted with the Lakers 2018 #1 pick, will fill in the gap.

Trigger warning: Mo Bamba's birthdate
Stop moving forward, time. No fair

I'm pretty sure he's eligible for next year's draft and he's basically the same age as Porter, Ayton, Robert Williams, and Miles Bridges???

Unless you mean there's an age controversy, but I haven't heard of that.

Embiid hasn't played meaningful minutes yet (less than 800 in the 3 years since drafted) and they didn't use the picks, they just traded some to move up. I assume that's what he meant by "They'll never use those picks" because otherwise its pretty nonsensical.

Howard Eskin and nonsensical go together like butter and toast.
