A funny two seasons. Went from Minnesota that needed him to have any chance of being competitive to Philadelphia on a team he’s kind of just in case side kick. Some games I’ve seen him be behind JJ in touches.

If his body is tired and he wants to preserve himself for another 5-7 years I believe he will stay in this situation. I personally believe he wants a middle ground to both situations he won’t have to do it all but he can showcase that he’s one of the top reasons.

If he leaves I think it’s Knicks or Clippers with both teams needing a max guy signing first for him to come

I think he’ll chase the money. There’s no way the Sixers can max out both Harris and Butler and I think they can reasonably demand a max. Ideally the Sixers will keep both guys on a paycut maybe 4/110 or so but unlikely.

If the 6ers make it to the ECF and they offer him the max, he stays. Otherwise, I think he's out to LA (either team).

Which makes it also difficult because if both favorites hold up its Raptors vs 76ers in the second round. Kawhi and Butler both want to win but also be comfortable so it will be interesting to see what the outcome does for free agency

I could see Harris playing himself out of a max during this post season run before Butler. Harris doesn’t seem to care where he goes that could end up being a sign and trade situation if things go wrong

Yeah God forbid anyone has fun in this league anymore. You can only be happy if you win 73 games!

I would also move away form Russell, unless he starts shooting like Curry he is never gonna be really efficient with the way he is (not) drawing fouls.

You’re not going to get Curry shooting out of any player not named Curry (excluding Seth). So what are you left with? A third year all star who can get white hot and make his teammates better. Imagine them with Durant or Kawhi?

Russell is not the problem - they are a playoff team because of Russell.

Jimmy lives for the 4th quarter. We'll see if he can turn it on without Embiid here. He just needs the ball in his hands to be most effective, don't think it's an ego thing.
