IDK, at this point Embiid sort of has a pass…since he’s hit the floor in a Sixers uniform the front office has pretty much f’d up everything by the numbers.  Starting with drafting Okafor, the infamous mishandling of Simmons (while driving off butler only to retain Tobi), the Horford contract, drafting Bridges to trade him for a guy who nobody can remember the name of. Fultz lol…traded away the farm to move up for a guy they probably could have gotten anyway.  They kept trying to run things back doing the same dumb things over and over and over again.  There was also the Coangelo debacle.

 The only bright sides of the era are the half season and playoffs we got with Embiid, Simmons, Butler and Tobi.  Then unloading Simmons for Harden…and not caving to harden long term.  Drafting Maxey.  A few FA signings were amazing.  This new rook seems to have a plus starter long term potential.

The time to move him was a season or 2 ago…

Those are all good points, and it is worth pointing out that Embiid was basically the best of the rest in that draft; that year, everyone wanted one of the top 2 picks to take either Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker, and the Sixers had bad luck and got the third spot.  So the Sixers kind of had Embiid fall into their laps, rather than there being some stroke of genius.

They're going to win just enough games to lose their 1st round pick but not enough to make the playoffs 

do we even care?

They were always losing to the Magic without a full sqad. I'll be interested to see how competitive they are

No.

Ramping up was a term used to talk about Ben Simmons. This is where we are with Joel.

Yup that ramping up crap is not good news when it comes to this organization. They were ramping up Melton last year too 🤣🤣

Simmons was Ben Simmons 1.0.  Everyone was enamored with him.  Embiid was an absolute freak with an injury who had a major growth spurt…so durability was always a concern.  That’s the only reason he went 3.

I hate the GM and ownership 

Glad McCain got proper minutes since Lowry was out again.  Glad he had a good game. 

Another inefficient game from Maxey.  The failures of this organization are running him right now. 

 

 

@HazletonEagle I didn’t want to do it in the eagles thread because I already posted too much crap 😂
 

I messaged you to see if you have heard of HBar Hedera and if that’s on Robinhood. I think conservatively, that has a 3-5x potential and there are rumors of Trump reducing or eliminating captain gains tax on US crypto, which HBar is. @DaEagles4Life can probably give his opinion as well. 

So, for all his faults, Drummond is trying to grit it out through a ankle injury yet our highest paid SUPERSTAR! is taking another night off for management. I sure the rest of the guys on the team aren't noticing.

i feel like embiid is out for the season but they don't want to announce that to the ticket buying public. seems like something josh harris would do.

Might be.  I could see him popping back in for a half a game or so like Simmons has done. And then supposedly reaggravating it and needing another prolonged rest and ramp up phase.

I prefer that at this point.  Let the young guys start to play together and plan for life after the failed process.

Hey, he showed up for the shoot around. What more do you want?

I have to find the video but, it was saying that Embiid is the worst super star the NBA has ever seen .  After watching it I agree

Drummond has Nelson Agholor hands. 

KJ Martin pumping up the trade value?

PG is the worst thing to happen to Maxey. They needed OG a wing who wouldn't get in the way of his growth. 

This team looked dominant in stretches. Embiid couldn't miss for about a 10 minute stretch and he opens things up for Maxey who was able to get his first career triple double 

Joel looked slimmer and seemed to move around better from the little that I saw. How long will that last though?

Herb Jones has become available but I doubt we go after him.
