I am okay trading everyone and just letting Maxey run and build a quick athletic team.
Can’t take much more of Joel not seeing the defense and spinning and drifting into double teams

We can’t win with Joel Embiid as our focus.
Totally okay to start thinking about what life without him looks like
This is dumb.
Seriously, the anti Embiid stupidity I've been reading and hearing is just so asinine.
The issue is isn't Embiid. The issue is 4 GMs have failed to properly build around Embiid. There is no length, no athleticism around him. He has no one who can handle the ball. The Celtics' defenders are so unconcerned by the 76ers perimeter players that they hyper focus on Embiid.
Strip it down. Build around Embiid and Maxey.

If only the Sixers could go back in time a few years ago and sign Butler to an extension, let Tobias walk and trade Simmons for two 1st round picks.

Boston is uniquely built to defend Embiid.
Philadelphia does not have the coach to adjust.

Yep - that was the opportunity. With Butler they win a championship.

It’s not about Joel.
They have no draft picks to trade and you can’t resign James Harden.
Even without Harden you are significantly capped out.
With Tobias you’ll have to take salary back and you aren’t really getting anything helpful back.
So I think the next 1-2 years they aren’t better than Boston or Milwaukee.

Looks like I'll be avoiding sports talk radio until Eagles' training camp. I can't take the idiotic Embiid hate.
Honestly, at this point, with these "fans" who don't t appreciate Embiid? I hope he demands a trade and this city goes through another decade without a prime star.
Y'all don't deserve a Joel Embiid.

Sixers getting crushed today was always going to be the outcome
They showed who they were the final 5+ minutes Thursday night, yet so many in the local media deluded themselves into thinking that they would win
Either they fire Glenn, or they are not worth any of us wasting our time on next season

I love Joel Embiid.
But I think this was their best chance and not a whole lot of ways to add without 1st round picks until 2028.
They have nothing of value to trade and no cap flexibility.
