[Mik317]

Not trying to rub it in, just saying the obvious

Where is the misquote though? I understand what he’s saying, but from a purely PR perspective he should have kept it at “this one was on me.”

From a PR perspective he's trying to appease Harden to stay, which is whatever IMO, but it's the goal of saying stuff like this.

Agree with this, but I think in his own heart he knows that Harden isn't the right guy to pair with him.

[GoSixersBro]

any fan from other teams that are here to gloat and troll...

just know

your mom is a hoe and raised a bitch ass loser.

On Mother's Day no less! Kill 'em Mik317!

You just know we're going to get D'Antoni and that's going to be the "big move" of the offseason, lol.

At least Glenn will be gone. That’s something. It’s still apparently a pretty big assumption that Glenn will even be gone.

[JimmyPlopper]

If only Embiid had the same level of self awareness

Like this?

Simmons will be All-NBA, All-Defense, and maybe even an all-star again (the most meaningless, but the one that is mostly tied to the casual fan prediction which obvious understates his importance.

I'm sure you're mad because Ben looked bad on his exit here, Ben is not gonna make Aussies proud or anything, you can let it go

Who mentioned him other than you? I would say that the guy fishing around old posts which are unrelated to this topic is the one who needs to - let it go.

All this 'trade Embiid' talk is beyond foolish. Guys, this is a business first and foremost, and Embiid is a superstar and face of the franchise coming off an MVP season. His presence spells ticket and merchandise sales. Players like Embiid aren't traded unless they demand to be. So can we move on from pure fantasy, please?

[JimmyPlopper]

don't think thats the actual quote guys

Read on Twitter

?t=FZAeSq9YFbfD0HITmik2yg&s=19

The guy who was there, a reporter says different. You've always hated the Sixers, why don't you **** on right off and go back to the GB to make your trash posts.

Read on Twitter

Your post is factually incorrect and appears to be emotionally driven. Take several deep breaths, wipe away your tears, and reassess

I think Embiid should pair with Tatum lol. Dude was supposed to be the guy who carries Harden. Now it's clear he ain't it.

I think the first line of hope I have is that we try and model this team after the Spurs teams that won all those rings. Not necessarily to the exact way, but with a similar approach in mind. I think Embiid really needs to take some notes from Tim Duncan and how he did things during his Spurs days. Not only is it going to expand his career, but it's going to settle him down. People have compared Maxey to Tony Parker many many times and I see the comps. The thing with Maxey is that he's ascending...He's going to get better and better as time goes on. I think we really just need to retool around Embiid and Maxey and see what happens before we go into a full on rebuild. If we can let Harden go and get some sort of compensation in return for him then I'd be all for it. But while Embiid and Maxey are here, I think we really need to take a long hard look at the blueprint of San Antonio's success all those years. Morey needs to make smart decisions this summer. It'd be great to end up with another addition as impactful as Melton was for us. It would also be great if he could somehow swing a Tobias Harris trade with a team looking for future cap space or to rebuild.

If ownership has any interest in maintaining the attention of the fan base, they're gonna need to make at least a few changes.

I think you are correct for now, bit I think that will change next off-season when all of diminishes when attendance plummets as does everyone else. The city is done with them until they prove otherwise.

I won't believe it until it happens, but if the organization decides to give this guy another year they are essentially conceding next season as far as being a contender. The sure way to send a signal of defeat to the fan base would be to announce he is returning.

[eagereyez]

The Sixers are only going to go as far as Joel Embiid can carry them. If he doesn't keep up his MVP level play in the postseason, the Sixers won't have a chance. He got lucky that Harden went nuclear and stole 2 games from Boston, because this would have been over quick if Harden didn't step up.

Embiid has to be better. The turnovers stifled the offense and his reluctance to defend the perimeter got them killed from 3. Sure, his teammates didn't play well either, but the tone is set by the team's best player. You simply cannot be outscored by Tobias and Tyrese in a pivotal game 7.

Morey and the coaching staff have to figure out a way to help Embiid overcome his postseason demons. Improving his dribbling is not going to help...

[JordanMars]

The first domino drop needs to be Doc. Hopefully we make the move that shouldve been made last offseason and go from there. Too many solid Coaching Canidates out there for us to sit on our feet. Would love to see if we could get Jay Wright.

[Mik317]

this is a city full of front runners.

they will be in the stands cheering on as if they aren't the same ones saying blow it up and yet be the same ones mad if they do blow it up

[Murray_17]

I mentioned him because it's obvious you came here to troll because you're mad at Embiid and you're aussie, you don't need to pull together 2 and 2 to understand what it's happening here dude.

Also, i clicked in your user name to troll you after you came here to troll us, it's not that difficult to get. If you think finding that post took me more time than you going thru Twitter to find the video you posted you're out of your mind.

Again, maybe you're as sensible as the guy your root for

Spurs? Stop it.

I do not even need to mention Pop.

Duncan is 3 times the player Embiid ever is or will be. In the playoffs, that gap just widens further.

Can we stop that comparison?

Agreed, that wasn't even my thought when I created this thread. Trading Embiid is not the answer unless he asks for it. Letting Harden walk is an option but only if we can recoup something. Firing Doc is definitely an option, trading Tobias is finally an option as well. IDK, I think we'll make some moves this summer, but in the end the idea is going to be to continue to try and compete with Embiid and Maxey in the fold. Maxey will be entering his 4th season as a pro. I fully expect him to take off as a lead guard. I think he'll improve quite a bit once that happens for him. It's funny because it really wasn't until Hardens 4th season when he became the lead dog in Houston that he really began to take off (after his trade from OKC). The same thing will happen for Maxey if he becomes a lead guard on this team. Problem is you'll have to live with the mistakes he's going to make from time to time. You'll have to live with the offense stagnating. Then again, a decent coach can help with that. Lots to be thought about over the summer, but those thoughts need to be with Joel Embiid in mind and at the forefront.
