Won Moreah Yeer!

I’m good with this. I think he’s earned the chance to see what this team can do with an offseason,Training camp and some chemistry.

At the end of the day, Embiid revamping his body/health and Simmons adding to his game are what’s going to propel us to the next level. Without these 2 things, were a likely a 2nd round out again.

Good move by Harris. Very surprised he was smart enough to conclude that.

I get why you would say that. At the same time, it'd be sort of weird if in less than a year they went from letting Brett control the offseason to firing him.

Just glad ownership didn't get in their own way for once.

I guess they gonna bring back the starting 5 and upgrade the bench to give him a full year to see if he can take them to the finals and win.

Hopefully Brown drafts for us again. While I wasn't crazy about the Zhaire pick (and the jury is still out), the trade back while grabbing Shake and Shamet was impressive.

They would have to have a guarantee from Butler for that to happen. Maybe they already do.

I think this means multiple players said they'd like to come back and they'd like Brown to be the coach. It's good to get this out of the way so we can focus now on the players and they know who'll be coaching them.

I agree with Joel, BB did seem to grow as the season and playoffs went on. Is he the guy who will deliver a championship? Jury is still out, but the players love and respect him and he gets the players because he works at it. Time to rebuild his staff and Brett deserved at least one more year with what has never been an 'all-in' team, just one building further and faster.

BB survived because coming into the playoffs he finally realize that Ben is only a glue guy in halfcourt game and you need to put the ball in Jimmys hands. We will see if he could stands correct next season.

BB brought out the best or did try to bring out the best in everyone during the playoffs. From boban, monroe and to everyone of our starters. He put them on good position.

All you can do as a coach is put the team in good position to win.

Shake wasn't used at all this season apart from a few games. I think it was criminal that we didn't give him more time, and try to mold him into a player that we needed. IMO from what I hear, he could be our starting 2 gaurd in a couple of years if Zhaire doesn't pan out.
