I’d guess Barkley would get to pick someone? I’d imagine they have a list of alternates that barely missed the cut.

 

Didn’t the Lakers get Vando back and aren’t they expecting Christian Wood back? Hayes has been serviceable. Maybe they just realized they didn’t really need to trade Knecht & want to get out of the trade? Lol

 

I think their medical staff saw too many red flags during Williams' physical, and they decided it was too risky.

 

Jesus it’s always something

 

LOL Charles Barkley is not picking the all-Star replacement

 

Missing the all star game is a good thing lol

 

Agreed but missing the week before and after is a bad thing! Need vintage Dame

 

All I’m saying is there is probably a list of replacements lol, they got to draft the teams so I wouldn’t be surprised if he got to pick one.

But it should be the people who chose the reserves in the first place.

 

Ah yes, Shaq, famously unwavering in his commitment to focus, work ethic and conditioning throughout his career

 

I’m assuming it’ll be Trae replacing him

 

Maxey + Embiid: 35
Rest of Sixers: 4

 

Adam Silver picks the injury replacement

 

That’s worse lol

 

Getting destroyed by the Pistons without Cade and the Bucks without Giannis is not inspiring much confidence in the Sixers.

 

what pisses me most about his comment is the clear omission of the fucking dude who made the franchise relevant for 20 years and brought us our only championship through extreme loyalty and hard work. just complete lack of awareness. i swear this guy had no clue about basketball before he lucked his way into marrying a rich family and they bought a team.

 

I love it

 

Last comment on this but I hate this phenotype of mediocre white men who luck into "success" try and lecture everyone on what it takes to be successful.

stfu you goofy ass gap toothed fuck

holy hell I think I'm more pissed about these comments than I am about the trade at this point.

 

Adam Silver doesn't "pick" the replacement, the player with the next highest amount of votes is chosen.

 

Shut him down.
Get the surgery.

Figure out the direction in the offseason.

 

Huh and embiid hasn’t even started his 3 year $190 million extension

 

Embiid probably has arthritis already.

If he gets another meniscus surgery it’s just going to accelerate the need for him to have a knee replacement.

 

absolutely brutal. it's hard to see these guys who could be the best just have their bodies revolt against them

 

The commissioner has always picked the injury replacement.
