So I'm guessing Knicks fans won't be putting Embiid in their trade machine dreams anymore? Unrelated news, Blood in the Garden is a great yarn for those in need of a book club idea.

Revelling in the new kink of watching agonising Sixers playoff losses. Character building.

Rollercoaster of emotions in that one. Will cop the loss given how bad things could have been, but should have stole that. Embiid on/off numbers once again tell most of the story. Rebounding is going to be an issue. Not gonna start close checking Hart on the perimeter - but they certainly...

Heat had me in the first half ngl. Play-In games exist so guys like Batum can go off. Knicks Sixers series would be worth flying over and shuttling the Amtrak back and forth.

Amazing, that the 5-year discourse around Tobias and his max contract, is only fully being reckoned with now - in his final months as a contracted player. It's been an ongoing bit since he signed, but never has it taken so much weight because others have taken the lions share of the criticism...

Doc Rivers shut the * up challenge.

Buddy Hield is doing miracles on me. Hospital Sixers pulling one out against the hottest team in the league, is impressive as all hell. Morey finessed the line between improving the team in the short-term, while keeping the powder dry for the summer. Gonna miss the Belt 2 A$$ Pat Bev tour...

Everyone knows the guy who dropped 40 in a win against the same team 10 days ago is a fraud. Everyone knows this.

Sun Tzu, Napoleon...Joel Embiid. His commitment on being an emotional terrorist to Nuggets fans needs to be studied alongside the greats.

Honestly, impressive to see someone try to rationalise his illness in real time. I for one can't wait to see the recap of Embiid's 23/24 season starting with the lead line of 'It all started because he a missed a game against the Pelicans in November.'

My guy really needs to read one of those Atomic Habits books or something. Freud could get a whole chapter out of the DT_35 x Embiid search filter.

Embiid Maxey two-man game is chef's kiss. Haven't really done too much wrong all year. Even the losses have mostly been acceptable (Bulls was annoying but was on the cards after pulverising high school teams for a week). Tobias remains the biggest question. Thought he started the year off...

Be foolish to think you can pay anyone $40m+ and not expect at least one weak spot. Gobert struggles against Embiid, like Embiid struggles against Boston, like Jaylen struggles with his left hand.

When a young player actually adds to their game, season after season, that's when you know their special - because few actually do/can. Harden was useful for the Sixers in a lot of ways last season, but * me is his trip to China one of the most important things to every happen to the team...

Can finally exhale. Unquestionably a relief, Sixers have my attention again - even though Maxey was singlehandedly doing that anyway. The players coming back are pretty ho-hum, but the alternatives being Mann - interesting but hardly needle-moving - and Powell - better player but contract is a...

Will voluntarily let the devil take me under the moment I start caring about how athletes, with the career earnings of a Pacific Island country's GDP, treat their Twitter profiles. There's no coming back from that. Morey could have offered to have the entire Atlanta strip club scene do a...

Just imagine Gus if Sam Hinkie could have foretold that one day James Harden would say Daryl Morey is a liar in China. I probably would have to stop calling people by their banned aliases!

Play out the season. See what options are available to help the team with all the cap space they'll have in 24. If something makes sense keep him, other wise trade and build with Maxey. But yes, the league Adam Silver has created now requires teams to trade their star player before he can...

Winning Time is wasted on the Lakers. Had no interest in seeing him play again so this is just confirmation of that. Harden played himself at every opportunity. Declines the first extension with the Nets. Demands a trade from the Nets before the 4/227 extension would have kicked in. Takes a...

BBall Paul $24m/3 from the Jazz with one of the more impressive, 'I'm gonna * with you singings' we've had in a while. Little chance I see of the Sixers matching. Josh Harris will get dragged for buying other sports teams and skimping here. Morey probably has the security he needs, because...

It makes cap sense to do his deal next summer, and if they end up trading Harden/Harris for an actual piece with multiple years left on a contract they can still extend him before the season starts. But weird free agency so far. Pat Bev for the min is fine. Would not have paid Niang that much...

Most of the wtf contracts aren't as bad when you look at their AAV as a percentage of the cap, plus future cap increases. It's why in a vacuum Grant's 5/160, can probably be justified. But if you know Dame is leaving, I can't imagine that's a move you want to make. Grant played his position...

Working under the assumption that he's not suiting up regardless of whether he's traded or not by season start, and whatever package they get for him will be a combo of expirings. Only Embiid and PJ have guaranteed contracts in 2024/25, so yeah they should be aiming to have as much cap space...

They need to add some natural playmakers because right now they have none, but being the lead facilitator on a Nick Nurse run team means something different than what it meant with Doc. Focus on ball movement, possession, Embiid creating out of the nail, forcing turnovers...which will be much...

Relieved that Morey doesn't always have his blinders on when it comes to JH. They're not getting much for him but a starter-level wing would be nice. Get some movement shooting, cutters around Embiid with Maxey being a primary facilitator is a blueprint to something. Tobias weirdly becomes...

Amazing you aren't a Sixers fan then. The perfect trifecta.

Mildly interesting that he could have had his pick of jobs and chose the team with the most uncertainty. Funniest outcome though. More interesting will be how he plans for a team that is as polar opposite to the Raptors as you can get. Pick of the recent axes but not without flaws. Most...

Technically, Bill is the eldest child.

Gonna need to make more absurd comments to get called out then because damn, would love my team to make even one CF.

Oh man, the note taking. The after-school hours really paying off.
