Sixers shutting Embiid down...officially out rest of the season

[Cladyclad]

This is the bullshyt Lebron is talking about

Yall dudes sick af

 

[Morethan1]

He’s not a hofer yet. Hall of fame with half a career? No

Are you on drugs? He's 1st ballot

 

[HollywoodP]

Go ahead and trade him to the Lakers or something

we don't want that fukkin contract on our books

You cant be a hall of famer and not play games. The basketball hall of fame standards are so low. If this was baseball or Football, Embiid would never sniff the hall.

@ that diluted hall of fame.

The Process Continues

It really does. And it makes sense looking at these upcoming drafts. They have to keep their pick this season and if they're smart, tank again next season because that class is even more loaded than 2025's

I think the process might be complete

Nah, "The Process" just got revitalized.

Flagg
Harper
Bailey
Boozer
Peterson
AJ

Philly's Process 2.0 over the next 26 games and next year in full effect

Few months too late

I might be wrong, but if we keep this years pick, OKC owns our 2026 pick and itll be top 3 protected. So this summer is pretty important.

We also got the Clippers 2028 pick which will be valuable. Harden and Kawhi will be gone

Giving him that extension was one of the dumbest GM moves ever. Wild how with the rise of analytics they don't use health projections to factor into contract extension decisions.

Morey is just 100% star blinded. He would’ve done anything to keep this “window” open. Hes also getting fired, so it makes sense for himself to do things like not trade Eric Gordon when he was coming off an insane 3 pt stretch (who’s now out for the year) or seeing what Yabusele would be worth. You can give Yabu 15m-20 and he could still be a trade piece next year, but that’s assuming he doesn’t have some big regression to the mean of his NBA career.

 

[The Villain]

At least he got the pity MVP and the Happy Meal Gold Medal.

He should've never played this season and it was malpractice for him to play in the Olympics this summer. He looked terrible out there. He also sold out his health that season he got the MVP. The Sixers and him have mismanaged his health so much over the last couple of years. And it was dumb to give him this extension just knowing his general health over his career.

Nobody was trading for 36 year old Eric Gordon.

0% chance lol you're dead right

its worse btw when we forget that he spent his entire first TWO seasons injured...zero games...dude is basically the maximum of what sam bowie could've been in this era

Dude was a top 3 defensive player in the L for the first half of his career and spent the previous 4 being a top 5 offensive player…while his teams would almost always be at a 50+ win pace in the games he would play. Dude is gonna still be a lil bit of a what if because of no good playoff runs and arguably losing at least one MVP off the strength of his injuries, but he’s been more than 6ers ever anticipated he’d be
