You guys bring it on yourselves. Go back and read some of the 76er fans posts in these threads over the years.
There was someone last year that wanted to trade Ben Simmons straight up for Chris Paul like this past offseason.
How about the majority of 76ers who wouldn't trade Simmons for Kawhi unless the Spurs gave up something else.
Or trying to trade Tobias Harris this offseason and calling his contract one of the worst in the league. The guy has been the most important player on your team this year because Embiid has missed so much time.
How about claiming the 76ers would have won the title if Kawhi didn't hit that buzzer beater... In a tie game... In the second round of the playoffs.
How about claiming the 76ers would have been in the Finals last if they kept Butler because he helped take the Heat there.
The constant complaining about the refs when the team is like top 5 in free made and attempted.
Plus the constant bagging on other players on other teams. Would you guys trade Simmons for Luka or prime LeBron or guys like that? Simmons could be that type of player if he could shoot outside of 12 feet. The worst part isn't that he can't shoot, it is he refuses to even work on it and you guys just give him a pass all while knocking a guy like Giannis who has won 2 MVPs and his range has extended out every year of his career.
So tldr. Sorry not sorry.
Oof where to even begin. You haven't even posted in this thread for years and even took a couple years off of these forums so not sure how you're an expert on what's been posted the last couple years.
Who said they wanted to trade Ben for Paul? I don't recall that. However, according to this threads posters, Ben isn't even a top 200 player in the league and Paul is way better than him so what's the issue here?
The "majority of 76ers fans" ? If you're concluding the "majority" wouldn't have traded Ben for kawhi based on maybe 3 dudes in a FBg forum, then you might need a lesson on statistics. At that time Kawhi was a 1 year rental and Ben a promising young player. In hindsight do we make that trade? Yes. But to act like it's a hit on a fan or that a fan is "deserving" of constant trolling just because they undervalued/overvalued a player in their mind? Oh no, what a crime! Must troll them!
Harris's contract was seen as a bad contract by many. Many non sixers fans in this page talked about how his contract was bad. Yet if we mention it then we are "bringing it on ourselves?". Yikes. So pretty much if we have an opinion that a player is better than he is, or worse than he is, that's a fault in your eyes. Fans must be quiet about their opinions on a player being better/worse and must be correct 100 percent of the time or else they deserve trolling. Ok cool, good to know.
Re: Butler, same as above. Haven't actually seen anyone post this and have read every post in these threads the last two yrs. Who said that?
The ref thing I agree with you, modogg does bring them up a lot and maybe too much.
To answer your final question, of course we would trade Simmons for luka or prime LeBron. Not a single person has said otherwise. You're making up that narrative to try to make your list longer.
As for Ben, you're late to the party and we've been through this a million times already. How do you know he isn't working on it? (He is). Guys like Popp and many other analysts have said he doesn't even need to shoot to be elite... yet any positive thing about him that comes out is immediately and conveniently ignored here. And who is giving him a free pass? I fully agree that it's a weakness of his game and that he should incorporate it into his game. No need to invent arguments that aren't even there. We all wish he would shoot better and agree it would bring him from a top 25 NBA player to a top 10 NBA player. Not a single sixers fan has called him a top 10 nba player but you've created the narrative that we have. He's top 25 and most people within the NBA agree on that. The only time Giannis was mentioned was when a bucks fan kept going off on Ben's shooting percentage which was better this year than Giannis'. Giannis is a much better player overall than Ben... but this is another narrative you've created to try to strengthen an otherwise weak point. Don't think any sixers fan has exaggerated how good Ben is, or said he's better than LeBron, luka, or giannis. He's not.
