It's probably pretty legit but any garbage team(2-3 years away) needing publicity has nothing to lose by bringing in James.
Hornets, Pistons, Pacers, Rockets and maybe 1-2 more teams could bring him in. He might hurt growth a little, but those teams aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Obv that would mean Harden doesn't care about winning a ring, so I don't see that happening. I think it makes sense for him to stay with Embiid. Not sure where he can go and have a better teammate.

But the man is pretty cooked...Sixers said Tatum had a "Simmons moment" when he passed up a floater with Embiid sitting in the paint

James Harden 4th quarter games 6-7
19 MIN
0-6 FG
2 AST

Last year vs. Heat game 6
0-1 FG
3 AST

He might be worse than Ben Simmons


That's going too far.

Simmons flat out quit on the court. Like, legit stopped even looking to score and was just out there. I've never seen someone check out the way he did in game 7 vs Atlanta. That was insane, he just didn't want to be playing and it was obvious.

Harden was bad, but he still put shots up at least. The effort didn't look like it was there, but he still wasn't what Ben Simmons was. Harden at least went through the motions.

Joel Embiid averaged 33.1 points per game in the regular season and 23.7 in the postseason. Among players who averaged 30 or more points during the regular season and advanced to the playoffs that year only one player had a higher drop-off in his scoring average.

Worst 10:

Wilt Chamberlain -15.4 (1961-62)
Joel Embiid -9.4 (2022-23)
Giannis Antetokounmpo -7.8 (2022-23)
Kobe Bryant -7.5 (2005-06)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -7.4 (1972-73)
Moses Malone -7.1 (1981-82)
Joel Embiid -7 (2021-22)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -6.1 (1971-72)
Karl Malone -5.8 (1989-90)
Oscar Robertson -5.7 (1966-67)

Joel Embiid is the first MVP to not make it to the conference finals.

What a joke of an MVP.

Sixers can Keep Embiid and Maxey. Trade everyone else!!!!!!!

Even Undrafted players will do better than rest of Sixers. Even young draft picks will be good 2nd year!!!

Aim for championship contention 2024-2025 season.

Jokic has gotten there and Giannis has a ring.

I made excuses for Embiid the other previous years because he had legitimate gripes with Bum Simmons and injuries.

But the choke in game 6 and the performance in game 7 was absolutely pathetic for an MVP.

I'll never understand this argument of "getting there" but losing. It's no better? Unless you're walking away with a ring, will anyone remember "almost getting there but not really" lol

Jokic has had an easy road. He has yet to play even a half decent defense. The Lakers will be the first actual test, and they're a fucking play-in 7th seed team 🤣

If the NBA re-seeded like other sports, and the Sixers played the Knicks the second round, and Embiid advanced, but then lost to the Celtics in 7 games in the ECF's....that would be a bigger accomplishment to some people? 🤔

So you agree then 6-0 is better than 4-10

glad to see you finally come around.

BREAKING: The 76ers dismissed coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Rivers led the Sixers to the Eastern Conference Semifinals in each of his three seasons on the job.

The Sixers’ search for a new coach is expected to include Mike Budenholzer, Sam Cassell, Mike D’Antoni, Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel and Monty Williams, sources tell ESPN.

Good riddance
