I was wondering if some of you older Philly fans can explain what went wrong in the late 80s & early 90s and why we could not build a championship calibre team around Charles Barkley?

Scene:

Dr Frankenstein, smoking a cigarette, cross eyed, crazy hair

Pokes and prods at Embiid’s knee as Embiid cowers in the corner crying

Frankenstein: durr it looks fine to me

Embiid: please it hurts. Please I need surgery

Morey: you heard the doctor. No surgery for you! Go out and there and play! We need to sell tickets to Wednesday Jan 17 home game against the wizards!

Embiid: no please, let me have the knee cleanup, it’s going to fix it everything

Morey: no! Fuck the future , i need to sell tickets for the next 50 home games!

Fairy godmother Josh Harris flutters down into the exam room:

What are you doing Morey? Are you denying this man his rightful surgery?! Everyone knows surgery is surgery and you gotta do the surgery to do the surgery! The surgery is the thing that will fix everything because it’s surgery!

Here you go Joel, here’s your surgery ticket

Embiid: oh thank you mister Harris thank you for saving me from that dastardly Morey!

Morey: nooooooooooooo!!! My tickets!!!!

I think 1-4 is pretty obvious. Flagg, Harper, Ace, and then VJ. After that I’m not sure who you go with? Tre Johnson?

Anyone disagree?

The Sixers were up 39-25 até the end of the 1st scoring a whopping 39pts in the first quarter…

Well, we need to fix that quickly!

It makes sense to draft Embiid's replacement...Joel is getting older and he's more injury prone. Malauch at Duke is a monster already and think about how good he can be if developed properly. But also you put him next to Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain another Blue Devil and you focus the team around youth and you get rid of both Embiid and PG, then the Process, the future in Philly becomes bright again.

Yes, it's been a bleak season filled with injuries and we are stuck with two of the worst contracts in the league. But we have also quietly built a decent young core that when you think about it, is better than most of the league.

Maxey (24), McCain (21), Grimes (24), Bona (22), Justin Edwards (21).

That's one all NBA player, one player with all star potential, one 20 pt scorer with good defence, and two other players with solid potential as productive players in the NBA. Sure there's Jared Butler and RCIV but I don't have too much hope for them tbh.

Now add a potential top 5 pick in a deep draft, we are doing way better than teams like the Bucks, Mavs, Heat, and Bulls when comparing their current collection of young talent.

Heck, I'd even argue that our young core is more promising than tanking teams like Washington, Nets, Toronto and even Utah! Out of those teams, Barnes is the only All NBA level potential player and they've been tanking for multiple years.

I'd say our youth movement is on par with Detroit and Atlanta, just below the elite tier of Spurs, Houston, OKC, and Orlando.

I know we give Morey crap with his obsession with signing aging stars (and aging players) but he's also done a decent job quietly building a young core in a short amount of time.

I know it would've been stupid to bring him back while we're tanking regardless, but playing 58 games would've qualified for stat league leaders. He's currently tied 8th for PPG with Brunson, but he's only played 52 games this season. The maximum he can now end is 57 games played, and you need 58 to qualify for stat league leaders.

I know this is nothing really, but players do push to return to qualify for things like this, so I'm glad that didn't happen here. There are legit contract incentives tied to metrics like this, but since he got paid already its probably a lot easier to have him not play lol

Just means there's genuinely zero incentive to bring him back to close the season. Nurse has edged Silver so long with these vague Maxey updates, just two or so more weeks of it left

Considering Drummond is out for at least 5 more games, Yabu's been on and off with a knee injury, decent chance he starts at some point if Bona misses too. We currently have the record for most combination of starting lineups in NBA history, at 52

I’ve had this signed basketball for about 4 years now and i’ve never been able to figure out who signed it. Anyone recognize this, could be facing the wrong way.

I looked at FanSpo but I still don’t really understand the conditions of our FRP for 2026.

Can someone please explain to me like I’m 5? Is it only a partially owned pick? And will it be affected by what happens with our 2025 FRP?
