Also trade Embiid for Simmons, its perfect duo while harden dribble dribble dribble for 22 seconds Simmons can take last second shots no one gonna blame on him

This is **** up.

This is exact situation the process was supposed to avoid, and I don’t see how more intentionally throwing away entire seasons was going to change this.

I didn’t realize Embiid was 28 now. That 2019 team was a legit contender but only one season of contention with Embiid can’t be it for his career. Just not sure what they do.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

The normal NBA cliff appears to still be 32-33 - Lebron and Cp37 defied it but the rest of the leagues still filled with humans

Chunk of prime left for Embiid. Maxey looks nice. There are some pieces there. Different coach, move on from Harden, see what you can do.

Fire sale. Get rid of all of them. It's not hard. Morey is too smart to keep subscribing to the sunk cost fallacy, isn't he?

He has a major man-crush on Harden.

As someone who has followed the team daily and not missed a game in 20 years, here's my succinct season off-season recap:

1. Glenn Rivers needs to go.
2. Harden cannot be paid max money.
3. Thybulle needs to go.
4. True backup point guard needed.
5. Backup to Embiid needed.
6. The Jimmy Butler fiasco from a couple of years ago will stain this franchise for the next 5 years as one of the biggest mistakes.
7. The Mikal Bridges fiasco from several years ago continues to haunt the team.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

They were contenders last year too but they quit vs a mediocre hawks team

I don't understand trading a regular-season coach for a regular-season coach.

And Embiid in a D'Antoni run-and-gun offense? He's going to need major cardio exercise this offseason if that happens!

I think the term "treadmill team" is often overused on this forum. However, the Sixers are the true definition of a treadmill team. Embiid is still in his prime, however I don't think his prime will be very long considering his injury history and how often he hits the floor. Harden is 33 years old and is only going to get worse. Harris is in his 30's and Maxey projects as a scorer who can't distribute and can't play defense. They traded away some of their FRP's in the Harden deal as well.

To make matters worse they pay Tobias Harris a ton of money and will likely end up paying Harden a ton of money as well.

Hard to imagine them getting better. On the otherhand, you look at the Celtics, the Celtics are a young team. Tatum is 24, Brown is 26, Grant Williams and Robert Williams are 23 and 24. Marcus Smart is in his prime at 28. They are going to be in the thick of things for awhile.

Hinkie said he will never return lol

he got blackballed by the 76ers and the League. he was doing something unconventional and treated players like cattle lol but had huge balls to trade ROY MCW away - which was the right move. sold high on him since he played in a system that inflated his stats.

i think mostly 76ers fans will disagree with you but since the term is used so often nowadays, in realgm terms, treadmill is the perfect description for the 76ers until proven otherwise.

they were supposed to be a championship contender but showed 0 heart in getting there. I know Embiid is hurt but he looked like he didn't want to play. Tobias Harris didn't care. Harden didn't care. those are your 3 "leaders" out there. Doc Rivers with his uninspiring talk in the huddles.

The only player who looked like they cared was Milton and Maxey.

Philadelphia's window with Embiid is closed.

James Harden is not Chris Paul. This comparison needs to stop. Harden may be able to improve his conditioning like Paul did (although nobody will expect that), but CP3 survived the drop in athleticism because he is a methodical game manager and excellent midrange shooter. He was never someone who was going to score 30 consistently. Harden's game at his peak was predicated on his first step and that is not coming back.
