As long as he's healthy for the playoffs

He's just resting up for the LA Olympics.

I don’t follow the Sixers that closely, but it’s pretty sad that the Embiid era is going to end with zero championships and not a single trip to the NBA final.

Without a single trip out of the second round

Luck is the most important ingredient, they received none of it.

Truly a cursed franchise. We couldn't even enjoy a mid-first round pick that looked like Diet Curry for more than a month.

Fultz forgot how to shoot.

Simmons was scared to shoot.

Zhaire Smith almost died from a sesame allergy.

Silver got what he wanted. The ultimate tanking punishment.

Meanwhile, OKC...

Getting closer for me to change my handle and avatar....

This franchise is officially dead.

Almost $100M tied up in George and Embiid for 3? more years, Embiid is finished, George is barely better than Harris at this point in his career.
Traded away a number of 1st rd picks and some 2nd rd picks.

So how do you rebuild? No cap room to take bad contracts for picks, few tradeable assets.
They are so screwed for the next five or so years.

not sure how NBA works..say Jo retired tomorrow..how does that affect cap and shtuff

I want effin reparations from that alien Silver and the NBA!

If Harris considers himself part of the oligarch billionaire class then he should start acting like a true crony for the benefit of Philadelphia since he botched the process from the outset by letting the league and opposition owners and GM's engineer a coup d' etat against Hinkie. The Colangelos were a train wreck and destroyed our continuity of operations with the process on so many levels. It led to the consensus committee management approach that allowed Brand and Brown to botch that 2018 draft and then the butterfly effect hasn't really stopped including the Butler decision to let him walk.

I want Harris to get dirt on Silver or strong arm him someway or grease his palms and vanilla milkdud shaped head and make sure he gets that OKC pick back so we have a chance at drafting Flagg if we fall out of the top 6 which we most likely will bc we have the luck of a Haitian!

Eff this franchise, Silver, and Josh Harris!

This Sixers are like a crummy, underperforming sports stock in Harris's portfolio.

They served their purpose. Got him a profile in the sports ownership community and used it to move to other leagues while also buying low on the Sixers and now having them valued at several billion.

He will no longer be the owner within a decade.

A self serving billionaire...shocker. The business of business will always remain business...so sadly that's how the world turns and ultimately burns..

 

[Mkoll]

Drummond played 27 minutes and got 3 rebounds? gross.

Wife and I look forward to the sixers every season, we were so hyped for this year. we finally stopped watching last week, first time we ever did that since 2019. Glad we did.

 

[deadhead]

I stopped recording the games.
I could watch the Process b/c it was a young hungry team.
This is a team full of discards and a couple overpaid veterans.
Free Maxey!

 

[Embiid]

Hey "we" are getting a new arena...be happy plebes. Bread (cheesesteaks) and circuses (Flyers and Sixers) brought to you by your billionaire overlords. Will you not be entertained?
