Sixers 2024-25 Season Thread Part 1

Guys, OKC isn't just going to give that pick back. What the hell are we giving up for what is likely the 14th pick in the draft?

Clippers 28 pick. Plus OKCs pick returned next year if they insist.

I'm not convinced that the pick is only going to be 14th. George and Embiid look completely washed so far. But maybe they're still hurt.

That's pretty steep!

If Kobe and Shaq only made it to the second round.

And if Shaq was in Suns form. And if Kobe was a 6’3, cheery guard who wasn’t completely consumed by getting a competitive edge.

Got any picks? We have a fairly used Drummond.

[Kobblehead]

I actually think that would be a shrewd play by Morey. Guerschon Yabusele can be the reserve C for the rest of the year.

If the Lakers are desperate enough to part with their 2026 1st rounder, it would be a no-brainer. I would even take a pair of 2nds in return (Lakers have their own and the Clippers' this year).

Why is Joel late to everything this year I have to ask? Has he done this in the past and no one has said anything? And why is Jo saying he's confused about what is happening on the court? Is this a guy who is not capable of stepping back on offense?

He's confused about what's going on because he's not showing up to work on time

[WentzerWuver]

The time to trade Embiid is when you feel like not wanting to trade him.

I agree under the well proven buy low sell high trade formula but many GM ignore by the pressure from the media and the fans' continuous whining like we are having here now that allows smart GM like Danny boy to take advantage of like he always has by pouncing on impatience and regrets other teams.

Jo has played much worse than Collins was at the time as possible damage goods, which has nothing to do on playing along side with PG like Collins was with Trae as a matter of being a bad fit.

Sounds like he's been doing it since he was young. The org put up with it because he was putting up MVP or elite numbers.

You deal with crap like this from guys who bring championships. This guy can’t spell championship. He can’t be gone fast enough.

You seriously need some patience when it comes to Jo, like we all need to do because we WILL miss him once he's gone...

It's becoming clear that the biggest reason the Sixers have been a cluster***^ for the past decade even when winning is Joel.

Maybe. Maybe not.

[Negrodamus]

Could you imagine if we traded McCain PLUS other picks for Brandon Ingram (out; bilateral ankle sprain) this past offseason?

I would have stopped watching this season.

well maybe not Ben lol

But Iggy didn't get his due respect until he was gone. Someone last week said we should have never traded Jrue and built around him.

I am not saying Jo is perfect and we should just allow him to be a big child and be happy with our second round exits and shut up but I don't think people grasp how difficult it is to get actual gamechanging talent, flaws and all. I have been watching this team since about 2000... I think there have been about 5-6 50 win seasons in which we thought we had a legit chance of winning it all. 4-5 of those were Biid led seasons. I remember hoping that Thad Young (my dawg man) would suddenly learn how to dribble and become the T-Mac I lied to myself he'd be lol.

I do think it may just be time to move on mind you. I think we just ran out of moves to make due to all of the past mistakes and the reality of the bigman especially one with all of the lower body injuries Biid has isn't kind. BUT I am not exactly excited about it because while yeah its cool that we got Maxey and McCain and all that....this is still the franchise that basically wasted all of their lottery picks sans Biid.
