Congrats to Josh Harris for ducking the luxury tax!
That one little move will net him $10M? $20M? Do you know how many yachts and planes that will buy?
And you thought we weren't WINNING!?!
Time's yours...

Eh it’s not like it cost us anything, and it does help to reset the tax clock this year (since we’ll probably be well over the line starting next year).

I'd do the same damn thing if I were in his shoes.

He can use the money to buy my football team. Imagine Harris owning two of your favorite teams?

Re: Congrats to Josh Harris for ducking the luxury tax!
If he's willing to go way over the tax next year and this was more about the repeater tax I'm perfectly fine with them ducking the tax.
And honestly, when you're that close, it would have been a pretty dumb financial decision not to.

If you had the tax code that existed 50 years ago the national debt would be half as much or even less than what it is.

You could fund an actual healthcare system.

Josh Harris will be revered in hindsight.
This is one of the longest stretches of sustained success in franchise history. If it's eventually capped off with a championship, he will be a cult hero.

Thanks entirely to Joel Embiid. His choices of executives have been complete disasters.

Can't think of another owner in another sport that would even entertain the concept of Sam Hinkie's vision. Harris did and deserves credit for thinking outside the box.
And all the roads of turbulence eventually lead us back to landing Daryl Morey, a very respected executive. I'd say Harris is a great owner who is very fluid and willing to pivot when something isn't working. He's very malleable. Most owners are stubborn and stick with status quo.

Re: Congrats to Josh Harris for ducking the luxury tax!
I'm having fun with this stretch of yearly 60%+ wins. It's a great time to be a Sixers fan. Josh Harris has elevated this franchise since he's taken over. Some Sixers fans just like to complain like he's James Dolan or something. I wish they would just get over themselves and enjoy the wins and watch the two Hall of Famers he put on the roster.

If the Knicks had Joel Embiid, they'd be winning 50 games every year too.

Joel Embiid was acquired under his watch, no?

Josh Harris had the courage to supermax extend Embiid, in spite of his medical history, to allow us to continue to win a ton of games every year.
I've seen cheap ass owners let HEALTHY phenoms in their prime go because they didn't want to pay them (see Titans and A.J. Brown).

Congratulations! I assume this means ticket prices won't increase now, right?....right?
