There’s no one person/blame to blame

The organization just sucks as a whole objectively

Sad but true

Wouldn’t that ultimately be…*gasp* the front office’s fault? And loads of talent? You keep giving this casual take lets me know you don’t actually watch games but box scores…just like how Daryl Morey makes rosters

 

[Shenco]

Literally every other team did spent money to add depth, but Morey gave PG 60 Ms when no other team would and used that money to build better overall teams. Guess that’s Embiid fault too huh?

 

[Shenco]

It’s Embiid fault Maxey regressed from last year, it’s Embiid fault Morey spent all the cap on one player so he had to fill the rest of the roster with vet minimums, it’s Embiids fault Nick Nurse playing EG and Lowry for 20+ minutes a game while dudes like Bona and Edward’s rot on the bench, it’s Embiids fault that for 11 years these dudes still can’t win without him. Y’all do not know basketball at all. Just emotions and agendas to push

Who would you have them sign instead? Realistically.

Embiids inability to stay healthy and take his conditioning seriously is the reason for the 76ers issues....if he was guaranteed to play 65-70 games and be healthy in the playoffs Philly would be fine


Moreys issue is he doesn't believe in continuity or chemistry which is a problem but considering what Philly had to work with I think he did a pretty good job over the summer

Drummond was the best back up center available but he's been terrible this year

PG was the best free agent available but he's been injured and hasn't played well

Caleb Martin was supposed to be a good pickup

Jared McCain was a good draft pick but he's out for the season

Idk what plan b was for Philly if they didn't get Paul George

 

[Shenco]

If your team is built around a guy who is oft injured because he keeps rushing back to help a team that sucks without him…wouldn’t that tell you that you need to build something that can stay afloat without that player? Even Morey said he hasn’t done a good job at that

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Daryl Morey is a liar

Embiid inability to stay healthy stems from rushing back from recovery to help the team…like he did last year with his meniscus. 210Ms to a 35 year old Paul George, Eric Gordon, Reggie Jackson, 40 year old Kyle Lowry while letting Cam Payne go is not a good Summer. Yabusele was an Embiid recruit. PG was the biggest NAME in free agency…which is all Morey knows. Names. Caleb Martin decent, McCain only got on the court because Maxey got injured and nurse had to play him. Plan B shoulda been construct a TEAM

 

[Reed MJ]

Just blow the Sixers team up if they really want to move forward. Thing is that they will probably run it back for at least next year. But I'm also not sure if this is who they really are.

Tons of fans and critics were claiming Philly won free agency summer. Then injuries happened. That's life. They'll be alright.

5 games back.

Thomas Bryant

Thomas Bryant

 

[Shenco]

And I keep seeing this “ He went to play in the Olympics” as if he wasn’t only there for 2 weeks playing 12mpg. Guess what? If he wasn’t there, he woulda been playing ball somewhere all Summer anyways

Simply put. Once Embiid leaves this whole thing falls off a cliff. Thats why I’ve been saying once that happens you need to trade Maxey as well and start the Process 2.0

It's Utah so nobody really cares what's going on but they really don't have any young talent that you're excited about after 3 years of rebuilding

Taylor Hendricks is out for the season with a devastating knee injury and he's still the the best prospect on the team imo and the do have a good coach

I guess they putting all of their chips into getting the number 1 pick and trading Lauri this summer but as of right now they a team with no direction and nothing really to look forward to which is great

I wouldn't even want Cooper Flagg going there and you know they're going to LOVE him in Pilgrim county.

I don’t agree with this at all

I’m excited for

Hendricks
George
Kessler
Sensabaugh
Filipowski

To varying degrees

If niggas can be hopeful for sterling henderson then they should be just as hopeful for keyonte George
