I just can’t pass up opportunities to make Sixers’ fans’ lives even more dismal than they already are after the Celtics swept them right out of the playoffs and right out of The Bubb. That’s why now is a perfect time to note that Markelle Fultz would have been a useful addition to the Sixers’ roster in the event of Ben Simmons getting injured. If only they had some way to keep him on the roster…
HAHA IT’S A JOKE BECAUSE THE SIXERS HAD HIM AND TRADED HIM FOR LIKE JONATHON SIMMONS LMAO
(LOVING MY AMUSED ORATIONS)
Is Fultz perfect? No, he’s not. But he’s demonstrated enough ability with the Magic this season to indicate that you can easily put him in a starter role and not completely obliterate the efficacy of your starting lineup. Additionally, in a hypothetical situation where he’s still on the Sixers, there’s an added psychological benefit for everybody involved,, since Fultz balling out for the team that drafted him would be exactly the kind of thing you want your first overall pick to do. First overall picks are supposed to ball out for the team that drafted them. There would be so much happiness.
Happiness is dead now. The Sixers are all done while the Magic have at least one, maybe more than one, games left to play; somehow, the Magic’s postseason was more successful than the Sixers’. So while Fultz gets to dime up Nikola Vucevic twenty times per game, Brett Brown cries from the unemployment line, Elton Brand cries from his “Philly Cheesesteak Cave”, Bryan Colangelo cries from inside his abnormally large collars, and Joel Embiid cries to his agent while demanding a trade.
