This basically sums it up.
If you end up with just 1 player like Embiid then it’s already worth it.
Sometimes u luck into more players like the warriors did with klay and dray.
Sometimes u get a bun like Simmons and Fultz with the #1 pick.
Despite fucking up all those decisions and ending up with all these bums, embiid himself ensures that the Sixers are basically a 50 win team every season he’s somewhat healthy.

Harden from from 5 years ago? sure
33 year old James Harden that is shooting 40% overall and 33% from 3 on almost 14 shots/7 3's a game since joining Philly
A defensive liability with a DRTG of 110.9
He basically chucks a lot of shots, doesn't play D, and makes good passes and flops around
Like he's fine, I'm not suggesting he's a bad player --- but he's not enough to get that team out of the second round
Also they either need to sign this aging star to a supermax this summer which could backfire or let him walk away for nothing
this man really just brought up DRtg in 2022 to try and prove a point
You are more washed up as a poster compared to 5yrs ago than Harden is as a player.

“ The question remains if you think this team can compete for a championship with these pieces … and so far in 4-5 seasons with the roster —- they haven’t been able to even escape round 2”
Well they finally got rid of one of the common denominators and that was the deadweight bum that is one of the worst offensive players in the nba in the playoffs so let’s see how it goes.
The only reason you still show your face around here is because of what Kawhi did in that 2nd round otherwise the only thing the raptors would be known for is Lebronto so please spare us the lecture.
