If they did stuff I liked, I'd say it.
So you knew there was going to be a fall guy after a pretty embarrassing sweep to the Knicks where you had 70, 80% Knicks fans in the last two games.
And there's a couple of different things you could probably point to.
The Embiid extension.
The McCain trade seemed for some reason to be the catalyst for people to really turn on him.
And a good example of like,
Sam Presti has it right by never saying anything.
Daryl talks, you know, sometimes to his own detriment and made the sell high comment with McCain.
The irony is,
He traded McCain cause they, they clearly told him to get into the luxury tax.
Right.
So there's a couple moves you can make, maybe trade Grimes.
I don't know if Grimes had any value to trade Grimes without taking a contract back, which is hard.
And in the McCain case, they got picks and other stuff.
And McCain was kind of buried behind two guards, but that became the catalyst.
So, um, when I look at the job that he did in Philly, which was really up and down, like some, some really big hits and some, some misses too.
I guess my question are they in a better or worse place than when he took over because he was able to get them out of the Ben Simmons thing he was able to trade Harden and get some pretty decent picks from the Clippers back I mean I think one of them is unprotected and
in 28 or 29.
VJ Edgecombe, they pulled that off where they now have Maxie and Edgecombe as like the centerpiece of what they're doing.
So to me, this isn't like, oh my God, this guy fucked our team up.
