Unless he’d except something like $20m per year, I honestly don’t have much interest. Rather try to lure Beal or Lavine with the cap space.

That seems about right.  The market will dictate what he makes in the upcoming years but he’s become (and I’m sure he realizes it) a 2nd - 3rd piece in an offense.

Sort of remarkable that the trade ended up being Curry/Drummond for Harden and it's close to a tie.

Hindsight 20/20 - we should have kept Drummond.

It wasn't season ending, he missed 7 out of 25 games came back for the last 2 out of 3 and played in the playoffs. 

You’re right, my mistake. Had a couple of pretty good games in the playoffs too.

I dont think its true that Harden is going to take less here.  Seems like a re-hashing of old reports. Which turned out to be misled by him not opting in to his deal. 

That rumor started really soon after the trade when Harden did not opt in to his big player option. Reporters jumped on that saying he might take less so help the team. But the truth came out that he actually DID opt in. However, the paperwork was not filed in time. The deadline passed, and he didnt get to opt in. But he certainly intended to, and tried.

There has been no indication that he is trying to take less. Im not sure why its being said again now. 

Of course Doc is happy he is down 0-2. There is no chance of him choking another 3-1 lead.

It was obvious from the moment that Kawhi Leonard shot fell that the result of the process (which I supported, FWIW) was not going to produce a champion, but would provide an entertaining and competitive basketball team.

The 76ers are not going to win a title with this foundation or Embiid.  /story.  

But...for whatever it's worth, the disappointingly early exit in these playoffs will help them next year.  Harden ain't getting a max deal.  Not happening.  He knows it.  His Nets failure combined with these playoffs just might cause him to dedicate himself to his body this offseason, come crawling back to the 76ers, and actually give the 2023 roster a better and cheaper than expected Harden.

If Embiid gets the stupid MVP award out of the way, then they can go back to aggressive load management for the glass giant.  He'll still be hurt by the end of the playoff run, but they'll have him healthier longer.

It won't result in a title, but it might get them through round 2 next year.

Sounds like he might just take the plyer option and try to earn the big contract. I hope so anyway.

[Derek Bodner] (Re: Gargano's MVP Tweet) Not to be *that guy*, but the award is announced on a TNT broadcast and tonight is an ESPN game. Besides the fact that most voters have publicly revealed who they're voting for and it's not looking good for Embiid, it's not happening tonight.

What a clown. He’s consistently wrong about everything. 

Now Embiid is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game.

I heard immediately after Embiid is crowned MVP, they're gonna remove Biden from office and re-instate Trump and then he's gonna ring the bell 

Reading this page has been an emotional rollercoast and aged me about a year.

embiid is a go for tonight.

Miami by 10

It’s always darkest before the dawn! 

 

sixers should’ve challenged that cause dedmon was in the restricted area. His foot hit the line and then he had on his tippy toes heel over the line. 

They wont shoot this poorly all game

need to score more

Our offense is garbage. move without the ball. Add on some completely moronic passes. 

George niang really shouldn’t be playing and neither should korkmaz. But Doc is an idiot for having both out there together. 

Miami has Glenn right where they want him. Down 13 

JJ Redick is so good 

Two things: 1. we can’t shoot for crap. 2. Quit picking up our dribble without committing to where we are going with it. About 5-6 of our turnovers are picking up our dribble, holding the ball as the defender gets in our face and we throw a bad pass 3-4 seconds just trying to get rid of the ball in desperation.
