ill eat my words on the eagles..... I didn't think the Ben Simmons pick was bad by any means. Im wishing you luck, just think they'll get muscled out by the Raptors. They're a great team, don't get me wrong, just think there's a reason they're +700.. Glad you're wealthy enough to tie up $700 for that long though. BOL to you.

Not sure, I was wondering the same thing. To be honest I don’t think the +700 will last for long. From what I’m hearing they are 5.5 to 1 to win it all now. So obviously the 7-1 to win the east no loner makes sense. I added another $300 to max it out with my local while I still can.
Toronto or Boston obviously will still be tough series and could easily still be the favorites in the east. But at 7-1 on Philly,there should be plenty of good hedge opportunities in the playoffs imo.

jimmy not a great shooter either. they need about 7 injuries on 3 different teams to win the east. that is money in a furnace right there. simmons is not developed enough to contribute in the last 5 minutes with the game on the line. he can't shoot buckets or free throws. and fultz is an albatross.

stevens is dealing with a lot trying to appease people and contracts. they need to trade for AD and get rid of heyward and possibly smart and morris in the process. have to increase rozier and tatum minutes to be a better team. a tighter rotation with AD would be really dominant. have to keep kyrie if you want to win rings. he can't lead a team but will be great with AD

Unless there is an injury (which there could be), this is free money. At worst, hedging in the playoffs if needed will not be difficult to at least get your money back. Way too much value at 7-1 to pass on it.

The East looks more deep. What if they lose in the first round? That's possible if they finish in the middle

They now have 3 top 10 players in the east. Who is beating them in the 1st round? Even if they are the 4 seed, which 5 seed is beating them? Indiana? Detroit?

76ers have no bench, Boston and Toronto are still much better.

crazy how it just takes shifting two players from west, even with lebron leaving. now some folks are saying gsw only competition is in the east now. how quickly things can change. and people wanted top 16 playoff seeding to eliminate eastern teams lol. if AD comes east to celtics, will really be interesting top 4 teams.

A 6’10” 22 year old point guard who averages 15, 9 and 8 in his 2nd year might be a scrub? You must be smoking some good sh*t tonight. Sure he can’t shoot, but baring injury, the guy is basically a lock to have the most triple doubles of all time

No toughness -
Case closed -
You might think Anthony towns is a great player also?

He also is not a scrub. Guy averaged like 25 and 12 as a 21 year old kid. Sure he has weak areas but I’ll take a 22 year old old 7 footer with his skill set any day. Sky is the limit for both him and Simmons, both with HOF potential

76ers are a tough futures bet this early just for simple fact that their top 3 players have a deep injury history. Liked this roster better in 2006, they need some more shooting.
But if going to bet it 7/1 is a good price.

Get a shooter or two? They have been looking for one since the Iverson days and u might be able to go back even farther. It is the same bullshit every draft with these clowns. "We are going to draft so and so. He looks to be a great player he just isn't a good shooter" Here is a news flash for these fuks. Shooting is 75 percent of the game
