Dude just never wanted to give what it took to be great. Wouldn't push himself out of his comfort zone. Wouldn't try to improve. Kinda wild that the dude didn't even really need to develop a jumpshot to be great. Just needed to be aggressive and hit a couple more free throws. A mental midget.

Markelle Fultz was the consensus #1 pick at the time, hate to say it. Jimmy Butler didn't want to come back due to certain personnel decisions. I don't know if it had to do with Ben Simmons or someone else? Not sure. I don't know that I would say Fultz was a consensus #1. However, he didn't appear to be a terrible pick. The best players in that draft went at 13, 3, 14, 5 and 7, respectively. Simmons was clearly the #1 and Okafor was clearly the #3. Michael Carter-Williams was ROY. You can't be mad at those picks, either. It all came apart with the moves in 2018. The Bridges debacle cost the Sixers dearly. Brett Brown should have been replaced by Monty Williams who was on staff then. Brown had outlived his usefulness. They should have kept Bridges and not acquired Harris. Butler should have been given the max. Imagine Embiid, Tucker, Butler, Bridges and Maxey in the starting lineup ... ... with some semblance of Reed, Niang, Thybulle, Melton and Micić* off the bench. Listening to the radio now, everyone wants to find a way out, but there is none. The Sixers need to push all in. I would not be surprised to see them use the expiring contract of Harris in conjunction with Maxey and Jaden Springer to pursue another star. Lillard or Beal come to mind. Irving or Lavine to a lesser, but maybe more realistic, degree.You heard it here first. They would have to really piece together the rest of the team cautiously from there. It is kind of what the Lakers are trying to do. *Don't get me started on the Micić thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even account for the whereabouts of Simmons. You could have moved him for a pretty good bench. I mean, he basically got you Harden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the PJ Tucker love affair this team had. He didn't do much offensively or defensively. He just existed and chewed up minutes.

But excited to pick it up sometime near the end of the month. I wanted to make sure too of when the Cyberpunk expansion was dropping, which is late September now. But Diablo 4 should carry me til Starfield…which looks awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My build feels pretty good- I can do level 45ish nightmare dungeons, but as soon as I step into a level 50 I basically get one-shot. I've definitely been enjoying the game/addicted, but am starting to get bored of just running helltides/world bosses/Legion events/nightmare dungeons, and hardly ever seeing any loot upgrades or mounts/bardings drop. I Haven't gotten any mounts or bardings since moving to T4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great right now without any of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
