After playing 31 career games, in an injury-plagued, 3 NBA seasons.
Never played 30 mins+ in a single game ever but he has alot of talent.
Good move?
Fultz
Simmons
Embiid
plus 40+ million in cap next offseason, not shabby if guys stay healthy and pan out... you Knicks fans would be drooling if you had this much young talent, guess tanking relatively worked for Philly. Don't like the trade for Fultz, I like Fultz but I would have done what i could have to keep that pick they gave Boston. If you moved up in this past draft it should have been for Ball. Simmons and Ball could have played together I thought. Other than that I like the direction Philly is headed.
Noel traded
They had to give Embiid a contract but it's a HUGE risk with his health history

Thx. Just read it. Philly was smart to include an injury clause

I think they missed big time with Okafor over KP but other than that... its not like Noel was the worst pick in the world, they could have gotten the Greek Freak instead that year (he went 8 picks later, I think) but don't blame them to much, 14 other teams missed on Antetokounmpo too.

Okafor was a miss

I agree. My point was that they had to absolutely sign Embiid no matter what his injury history was or is But like I said it was a good move to put the injury clause in

Haha, exactly. They've been tanking for what, 5 years now and still haven't had a winning record. How many more tank years do they get before the results need to show? Don't get me wrong, I don't blame them. The NBA system is a joke. But we've been hearing about how awesome the tank is going for years now
Greg Oden played 51 more games than Joel Embiid years 1-3.
and dont say well the knicjs have been rebuilding for 15 years, knicks just started a true rebuild..
Not too mention, they may have the most cap room out of anyone in the NBA. They'll have a ton of money to throw around.

So winning games doesn't matter? When do results come in to play? Another 5 years? 10 years? Do we get to continue calling it a success until then?
embiid is always hurt..
simmons just missed the entire season because of a foot injury..
fulz is a rookie..

Did everyone fall asleep around the NBA draft when they used assets (and not many!) to move up to trade Fultz?

This year the 76ers will be remarkably better. Next year more so. The whole point so tanking was to accumulate assets to eventually build a team. The 76ers have done that, and still have assets in the bank, both in terms of draft picks and money.
Contrast that to what the Nets have done in the past 3 years -- what do the Nets have going forward? What high draft picks do they have? And I root for the Nets! But I'd rather be in the 76ers shoes with their future.
Fultz/Simmons/Embiid/Saric make for a hell of an arsenal of young assets.

how do you know they will be better? i get being excited but they have done nothing on the court...
They were in the playoffs 3 straight years just 3 yrs back while the sixers were still tanking.
So yes the sixers are in a great spot now.... it’s taken forever to get here ... but the nets have turned around things very well too

Not a huge B-ball fan, but how long did they "tank" for...what, something like 5 years? I mean...isn't that horrible in terms of what sports represents?
They should be competing for the championship at this point......
I don't get the credit they sometimes get for doing it this way.
I get the sense that for some reason the Sixers are a distant 4th (odd because usually it is hockey).
I mean they never seem to have a rabid base like the Flyers or Iggles or Phillies...but maybe it's just they have stunk for so long (then again so do the Knicks and they draw).
I did hear they sold out all their games this season.

I've seen a lot of Simmons and Embiid jerseys out and about in the last 6 months.

I'm visiting a buddy who lives there in December. We've got tixs to Sixers Thunder.

People here are incredibly excited about the Sixers. Easily as excited about the Eagles. Maybe more.
