Haha wow... it's the truth and something the Sixers clearly screwed up.
The whole world but the people who mattered could tell you keeping Butler should have been priority number 1, Ben Simmons be damned.

Sixers didn't get rid of Jimmy.
Jimmy left.
Jimmy left.

Because the Sixers wouldn't pay him.

Philly should trade Embiid to Miami for Bam and see if they can sell Simmons on that.

That was their year with Jimmy to contend. I always thought out of the players they had, he should have been the one they try to keep at all costs. Theres no way you lose him and expect to contend moving forward without bringing in someone as good.

Nah... they didn't offer Jimmy the max. Done.

This seems odd and petty attack at Ben because if I remember right Butler said it was a money issue.

My respect for Embiid just shot way up. He made a lot of good points and was brutally honest. You can tell this situation is really frustrating him.

Joel with another factual quote.
Sidebar, Brand really screwed up that off season.

Jimmy tells you candidly why he left.. from his own mouth..
The fact that people just think Embiid is spitting truth may be part of the reason Simmons wants to get out of there.

If this is true this might be one of the worse decisions in NBA history. Getting rid of Jimmy Butler for a bum like Ben Simmons smh

If they really chose Ben over Jimmy then wow!
