This team was obviously only very good because Embiid was playing out his mind with an absurd usage rate and guys were able to fit into low pressure complimentary roles that fit most of those players limited skill sets outside of Maxey. The Knicks are missing Randle and Anunboy and still totally outclassed us. Id rather have Josh Hart and Divincenzo then anyone on the sixers besides Embiid, Maxey, and possibly Hield given there skill sets and reasonable contracts. Paul Reed sucks. Honestly I dont know what hold he has over the bigger homer sixers fans. He's too small and doesnt give much rim protection. He is also one of the most awkward looking players on offense I've ever seen The occassional blocked shot is not rim protection. Achiewa looked like a god against our trash centers. 41 wins is a good over and under wins if Embiid comes back late march. They may get over but not by much. This team is also horrendous on D without Embiid and Melton. We should keep Embiid out all year and get the best draft pick possible. Time to deal with the facts that this year is toast.
No offense, actually screw offense... what the hell is "the best draft pick possible" supposed to look like given this teams current record and playoff seed? I mean if we're talking about last years Portland strategy where they went from possible play-in to top 3 draft pick then that's the only way I'll entertain "best possible draft pick" conversation.
