This is why you dont tank. Because you breed a losing culture and even if you do hit on some picks, eventually they will bolt to get out of the cesspool. It is awesome they have embiid, but even his entitled attitude has resulted in playoff failures.

Carter Williams - gone before second contract
Embiid - extended
Jahlil Okafor - gone before second contract
Ben Simmons - gone before second contract
Markel Fultz - gone before second contract

Embiids injuries could make the super max extension look bad in a few years too.


I have to thank the Sixers, because they refused to trade Ben to Houston, we ended up with Harden....while they are now stuck in an impossible position of trying to trade Simmons while his value is next to nothing after everyone saw him get exposed in the playoffs.

I still don't buy the spin that they wouldn't trade him in a deal for Harden. Houston wanted to cut salary and tank.

It would be great if it drags out for a year and a half like it did for YES. Force Knick fans to watch a competent organization for a while.
