    The Safdie brothers said they almost cast Embiid instead of KG and now I really wish they did

    [–]Charlotte BobcatsFatMamaJuJu 92 points93 points  (4 children)

    KG was a way better pick concerning the quality of the movie for the average viewer, but Embiid would have been far more entertaining for basketball fans

    [–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (2 children)

    Wouldn't Embiid have changed the entire premise of the movie though?

    [–]Spursbrendon_b 12 points13 points  (0 children)

    The Safdies were ready to rewrite their script for whatever player came on. Originally they wrote it for Amar'e Stoudemire, and for a while Kobe was involved (they didn't want to set the film in LA, but he's Kobe). Embiid was considered for a while when they couldn't get a retired player to commit. Eventually they got KG, and they rewrote the script to center around that particular Celtics-76ers series.

              It’s tempting to spend money on awards just to shower Sim with them.

              [–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (1 child)

              If it’s of any consolation said awards (1) will not impact Sim’s life to any further benefit or loss yet (2) will simply deepen the pockets of reddit’s alien overlords in their quest to rid the world of democracy

                                  Most of his first vlog was him mumbling through his NBA goodie bag, with no editing. It's like watching a Youtube video from the 2000s.

                                      I feel like that poor dude is constantly getting squared pegged into round holes. And that contract gets him so much criticism. But he’s really fucking rich so I don’t feel that bad

                                      He fit our team like a glove. I don't even think he's nearly as washed as people act either, but Philly is quite possibly the worst fit for him in the league between the roster and the coach

                                      i mean, it's partly al's fault. he could be in boston on a solid deal as an undersized pick and pop center but he wants to play the 4 and make bank so he went to a shitty situation. i'm not crying for him.

                                      I don’t blame the guy, I would have taken it too. It’s the sixers idiocy for offering him that deal when it was pretty obvious he was never going to live up to it.

                                      I bet he’s a little frustrated and but he’s rich af so I’m sure he’s fine.

                                      I think fans overestimate how much players care about being in a good situation in comparison to being paid. Plus I'm sure he thought the 76ers would at least be better than this.

                                        I don't think he's washed up per se but he's far from his peak and I think some of his decline should have been expected. I mentioned this in the game thread, but he's 34 now with serious mileage. He played an extensive college career, and he's made the playoffs all but one season in his career. In total, he's played 120(not counting this series) playoff games so it's really like he's played an extra season and a half of extremely high intensity NBA basketball.

                                        Combine this all with what you said - being in a TERRIBLE fit, and he's going to look like ass statistically and via the eye test.

                                                        For college ball that’s nothing to sneeze at. Kentucky and Duke are the only schools that really get to reload with 1st round caliber NBA players every year. Everyone else just hopes for one star and a decent supporting cast to make a serious run in the tournament.

                                                            Would Ben Simmons have made any difference?...

                                                            Because otherwise, this team is sprinting straight into a decade full of over-hyped regular seasons and 1st round exits

                                                            We probably could’ve at least won a game or two with Simmons in

                                                            Maybe Brett Brown gets fired?

                                                            I'm just trying to figure yall out from a distance. Like I consider Embiid the top interior big man offensively in the league, but it is so damn hard to play through a big man right now unless you have elite defense that can slow a game down

                                                            I hope BB gets fired. We desperately need a shooter that can play off of Simmons and Embiid but it’s not gonna happen cause of certain contracts

                                                            You gotta blame Elton for the team set up. BB has tried the same offense for 3 different rosters so that's just time to move on. He'll get picked up by another team in no time.
