Gotta be careful here, there have been 4 very different FOs during the past 8 years. The moves you’re probably thinking of were mostly done by the two great villains of the Process—B Colangelo and the Brown/Brand experiment—and they’ve been gone for quite a while.

A lot of us have issues with Morey and Hinkie and his staff has clear flaws, but those guys are definitely both held in much higher esteem around here. Both have some bad moves in their jacket but Morey’s actually been pretty phenomenal at getting good value at almost every turn, he’s just stuck on his aging-star obsession.

Also everyone’s joking, this is Philly and no one thinks we’re ever owed ish.

Morey signing PG and extending Embiid are both about as bad as it gets locking up cap space. They didn’t have to rush into extending Embiid especially if they knew anything about these knee issues in the offseason. They also outbid themselves on PG, idk who else was even out there trying to give him a similar contract. For these reasons alone I feel like they definitely don’t deserve Flagg and deserve to suffer a little bit as consequence for poor planning and judgment

Thank you for telling us everything we already knew sans the last sentence which is your personal opinion. Please go back to the Bucks board.

Me too really... I still imagine him with the twists.... Seeing him with the rows was jarring.

Yabusele needs to be shut down. If he has knee soreness off and on why bother? There's 5 games left.

Can only hurt his future earning potential at this point if he gets a serious injury. He's put enough on film.

Did Pels also shut down Jose Alvarado because he was too good?
