Barring something unforseen, it's looking like at least on paper, they're going to be objectively worse next season.
Which, if that ends up being true they might as well take the pause year route, and hope Embiid doesn't ask for a trade. Not gonna sell to the fan base that a team that already wasn't good enough is going to somehow go farther next season with a worse roster just because of Nick Nurse.
But again, it goes without saying the summer is still early. But we can only react in the moment as these moves occur. Waiting until September to analyze isn't any fun.
I think Morey is counting on Morris, Powell, Batum and Mann the incoming depth players.
We've seen no indication Morey wants those players. All we've heard if Harden wants the Clippers, we've heard absolutely nothing about Morey or the Sixers wanting the Clippers players.
Morey blows, but I'll give him one thing. He hunts for big fish. Now maybe in the end he's forced to take a deal from the Clippers, but I don't think right now he's counting on those players. If anything, he's probably deluding himself into thinking he can lure a star somehow.
