Do you like the signing of Mo Bamba? Type L for Like, D for Dislike
W
L. Needed a back up C I guess this dude has promise just can’t stay healthy
Seems like Morey is scrambling now
L
LIKE
– Still want Sixers to resign Paul Reed too
– Mo is better than Dedman as 3rd Center!
L… I don't mind. It's better than having a backup that is cooked like DJ or Dedmond and he can splash the 3 a little bit. I dislike his body language and lackadaisical attitude though. Idk why we let Drummond go, he is a great backup, rebounder, and can start when needed.
A hopeful Like….just hope he stays healthy…I remember him getting suspended for a fight…he got a huge wingspan…but I think we need better players…
Bamba WILL BRING US THAT CHIP! NOW HARDEN WILL STAY WITH US FOR SURE
I would like Joel x mo vs Boston
..wtf? .. its like, all they are doing is waiting for the cap space next year.
❤
L, I love this pickup. He worked out with .. and looked up to Embiid in his younger days. Might be willing to learn.
L
Finally Bamba will rebound could be a double double threat off the bench with enough playing time, I am confident Nurse will develop him, and Joel will get that much needed rest on the bench.
That’s a good sign he can learn from Embiid and he can be a shoot blocker
At least he is big man and on a minimum it’s low risk. Reed and Harrell couldn’t stand up to 7 footers at all last year. Dedman was a 0 stat guy
Real 1!
Real One
Great signing because NN knows how to use that length, pause.
Also remember when fans wanted us to trade Tobi for this guy? Pepperidge Farm remembers and would like to point out that is how bad our fan base has fallen off.
up
L maybe his return home will turn him it'saround
D, sixers need to focus on a scorer to go with Joel embiid
Reed 2 and 0 starting at center in the playoffs, let's see if our front office is competent.
We need Damian Lillard period
D
He’ll be a bench player and relieve Embiid for a few minutes.
" L" lots of upside because Coach Nurse is a teacher and a developer.
Good sign morey YNOT???
He is probably the best of what is left Morley is dropping the ball old James back at his tricks causing us to miss out on players we could have moved on I'm curious to see those four spots be filled up with halfway decent players but I can see moralist dilemma he's trying to get rid of the beard
Lol i would of rather got bball back n signed a wing. Its honestly comical at this point we refuse to find wings that can score over 10 ppg.. Mo hasn't done much so far, dont let his size fool you, he gets pushed around. But on the bright side he can learn behind embiid. I'll give it a C- for potential.
Mo will be a good back up if healthy
All the sixers need him to be is a good back up come in play that 10 to 15mins a game
I hope he gets used to Philadelphia media highlighting him being a bust and talks of him being traded every single day but I got a good feeling about it
Worth a flier. Maybe Nurse can get him going
Mo no bol bol
We'll See … Not Getting My Hopes
To High At All … We Need A Killer When The Game Is On The Line.
I Want Dame.
LLLLLLLLLLLLL he'll be on a wining team the Lakers wasn't a good fit
D
Mo bamba is a good player,I hope he stays healthy along with the rest of team.
I don't care what people say he can rebound and block shots. We had no one like that since old D Howard. He can stretch the floor as well. I love this. Let Reed play PF please if u resign him
Mo Bamba is Definitely a Nick Nurse type player. Fun fact, Bamba recorded a 3.04, 3/4 split at the combine which is faster than a lot of guards.
Now if we get bol bol we definitely can give Boston a hard time scoring
