Philly was the league's worst offense and bottom half defense.

Philly's defense was elite level when Embiid was healthy

so if he manages to stay on the court (which, yes, is a very big if), that's really not a concern

offense should be considerably better now that we aren't fielding the Ersan Ilyasovas and Sergio Rodrigeuezes of the world


I'd have to see the stats on their defense in the 31 games he played in.

And the fact of the matter is that rookies generally don't push the bar much for teams and expecting them to see massive gains in their first season together is expecting a lot. Look at the T'Wolves again, their promising young players (Wiggins and KAT) only managed a 2 game improvement over KAT's rookie to sophomore season.

Now, if your argument is Detroit's gonna be even worse, while I don't agree with that it would at least make sense to argue the Sixers will be better if they can post a record with the mid to upper 30's in wins.

Fun fact, over the past ten years Atlanta has the third best record in the East (literally one game behind Miami) and 8th best overall.

Yeah maybe we shouldn't be making fun of Atlanta.


As someone from Georgia, you totally should.

Third best record in the East and one sweep in the conference finals to show for it.

I mean, if you had zero expectations of ever winning anything of significance (which I guess would be about right if you're a Hawks fan), it's fine, but yeah.

Chicago has the 4th best record and getting knocked out by the HEAT 4-1 in the Conference Finals was their best run. Hell during the lockout season they had the best record in the league and proceeded to get knocked out by the Sixers (yes I know Rose got hurt but c'mon really the Sixers)?

I mean they can always go "BUT JORDAN" but the Bulls went 8 of 10 during that same time period.

Seems to me like you can still make fun of the Cavs for everything they did between LeBron leaving and returning.

I mean they were poor enough to get as many shots at the number 1 pick as the sixers during their process.

Ok they got lucky with at least the Wiggins one, but so did Edmonton on their poor run, and the Cavs also had 2 more picks in the top 5 during that period.

Well as an owner his other great achievements all seem linked to his whining.

Didn't it lead to stuff like the Chris Paul veto and a new CBA which made things a lot harder on superteams like the heat?

Then of course because it made building superteams harder, when he got the lucky return, no one else could really make the moves to counter what he fell into.

Toronto has traded DeMarre Carroll, a future first-round and second-round pick to Brooklyn for Justin Hamilton, league sources tell ESPN.

...did the Nets just win a trade?


Not remotely. Raptors dumped a $30 mil albatross and got under the luxury tax (and picked up a trade exception) for two useless draft picks. They won the trade.
