Sustainable future success is no longer possible due to the criminal mismanagement of the last 4 years. Our only hope is to try to create a two year window with Chris Paul. Otherwise this thing is going to crash down with Embiid or Simmons asking out.

Disagree. Having Embiid and having Simmons and having all of your future picks is being in a better position than 75% of the league, even with contracts like Al and Tobias on the books.
Needing a guard desperately but also giving in to trading for Chris Paul at max value when he was seen as a league wide cap dump less than a year ago is absolutely Sixers.

It obviously depends on the price. Not sure who is advocating selling the farm for him. The price may be less than we think because its obvious that Presti has promised to trade him. If he really wants to come here, the price could go down even more.

It is good thing Milwaukee is the obvious competition for a deal. We're in a much better position as far as owned 1sts and 2nds in the upcoming drafts.

I would expect the offer to be Horford, Richardson and a pick for Paul. With OKC also moving Richardson for a pick.

That's too much to pay for Paul. Which means, of course, Elton is already calling in the offer to Presti.

For instance, Vogel going away from McGee-AD frontcourt was a great adjustment that I dont think Brett would have done. Their defense against Harden is another example.
MDA not making adjustments and really doesnt have any options but to play microball is putting him at a disadvantage right now
