The plan within the plan is to make it look like we’re going all-in, give the illusion of competing, when in reality, it’s Embiid and George we’re showcasing. Then we go on a deep playoff run, win the 2026 championship because of the weak east, and flip both of them in the offseason when all the fans are begging to “bring it back”, then their value starts to dip and they no longer look like even half of what they once were.
Bro, you get out there at times. This is one of those times. We aren't showcasing Embiid and George. This isn't going to be any different next season. Both are going to continue missing significant amounts of time. There is no "switch" to flip with this team. The future starts over on draft night.
I believe he was being facetious.
Daryl Morey doesn’t sell low. He got Kevin Martin for a washed-up T-Mac. He turned a disgruntled, on-his-way-out James Harden into multiple first-round picks and cap space that eventually helped land Paul George.
There’s no way Morey’s just going to fold, admit he’s not competing, that’s already like announcing George and Embiid are done. That’s negotiating from a position of weakness. He’ll push the illusion of contention to keep leverage, then strike when the return is at its peak.
Like it or not, the Sixers would be foolish not to go all-in next season, because the East is wide open. No one’s taking this Pacers team seriously as a real contender. If anything, their deep run just highlights how soft the conference is right now.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.
... If we somehow could get another pick in this draft i would prefer Fleming or Carter Bryant than CMB.
