Other Sports: Philadelphia 76ers, 2024-25: Countdown to April

[Taijuan Fedotov]

I think the "out for season" update is coming for Embiid soon.

Meanwhile it feels like Paul George is quietly quiting.

 

[Cody Webster]

“Well, when you look at our guards, you have it right. I think Jared McCain is gonna be a great player, and he’s someone we considered strongly. But with Maxey, Dowtin, Lowry – at some point, it gets tough to go with the smaller guy. But he’s a fantastic player.”



Santa actually just signed a 10 year partnership deal with Fanatics.

Sounds like Santa might be coming down the chimney in an easter bunny costume then.

 

[Jack Straw]

Future Sixer Cooper Flagg looks like he’s going to be a pretty good player.

 

[Embiid]

League is gonna force sell the Sixers....

It's a shame Morey has this washed up veteran fixation.

Because they added some nice young players, two great young guards and that French center has potential. That game was actually fun to watch, started a young lineup and the kids were running all night.

Too bad when George and Embiid are back they'll slow the pace to a crawl.

[Sombastate]

So I admittedly never pay attention until after the All Star Break, only have so much bandwidth.

How is McCain doing? I know he was great today (actually watched), but besides today

Washed up veteran fixation is a common thing for teams in that building. I miss the spectrum.

Oubre and Yabu are less than a month from being 29. Martin is already 29. That’s starting a young lineup now. Flyers brain is alive and well in every sport.

So… was I dreaming or the the 76ers win a basetball game last night?

He's the first rookie since Jordan to average at least 26 points. Obviously its a small sample, but he's exceeding expectations.

Today (well, last night) was pretty much more of the same for him. Right now he’s the favorite for ROTY.

Ben Simmons was -20 and a big help.

I didn't watch much of the game, including none of the second half, but I did see this happen live and it was glorious. I don't understand how this is even possible.

It's all relative.
George (34), Lowry (38), Drummond (31), Gordon (36), Jackson (34).

Here's the beautiful part:
2025: 1st (protected 1-6) otherwise gone, no 2nd
2026: [if 2025 doesn't convey, 2026 protected 1-4], Thunder's worst 1st, mo 2nd
2027: 1st (protected 1-8), otherwise gone, LAC 1st rd pick, 2nd Bucks
2028: 1st (protected 1-8 if not conveyed in 2027), 2nd if 2027/2028 1st doesn't convey

In other words, they only have a future if they really, really suck.
Which may happen if George and Embiid break down b/c they'll have no cap room.

Odds are they'll be just bad enough to miss the playofs and lose their 1st rd picks.
This could be the Process years redux without the Process.
