in game theory there's "playing to win" and "playing not to lose" if the 76ers are in a position where they could feasibly be Champions, then the time to push their chips in is now

the Raptors weren't the best team on paper when they won, the Bucks weren't the best team on paper when they won either

I think if Philly management is reluctant to make an all-in move, that signals they don't have much faith in being Champions EVEN IF everything breaks their way


76ers current management knows this team has a history of previous management messing things up (Colangelo). Morey isn't going to make that same mistake. He's patient, and is willing to wait things out as we've all seen with both Ben Simmons and James Harden.

With that said, I do believe it's obvious that Morey has something planned. He has a strategy here now with actual draft capital available. Just a matter of when a player they're after becomes available and if he cashes in. It may or may not be this trade deadline. I think they'll make a move though even if it's just a smaller one.

you clowned Milwaukee for losing to Miami in the 1st round. the same thing could happen to your 76ers against Indy or Miami

they need to make a big move to solidify their chances

76ers won't be the #1 seed losing to a #8 seed in the first round though. That's all-time level choke.

Let's be real, the Heat were not a true 8th seed.

76ers not championship or bust? ...it's championship bust as long as MVP Joel Embiid is there. Don't fool yourself just because there is no hope. I understand....

Can't believe you spam this thread all day because of the "expectations" but then you tell us your expectations of the 76ers is really round 2.....come on bro

The hilarious part is that Joel Embiid played terrible against the Heat just the year before

You're talking about the series where he missed the first two games, they went down 0-2, he came back early with a broken hand and orbital bone in his face and they tied the series up winning the next two games?

If Embiid never came back, even injured, they were getting swept lol

How is it that Embiid gets an injury excuse but you hold Giannis accountable? Giannis already proved himself in the playoffs coming back from a gruesome injury to become Champion

Embiid can only dream about a run like that. I don't think he can even handle a 3rd best of 7 series let alone a 4th

Lol using injuries as an excuse for Embiid.
