You just wonder, like, are they going to end up playing too well because they play so hard as these teams crank up the tanking here? Like, even when they use that second unit, those guys all play their asses off. Like, I'm actually impressed with that part of it. But is that going to cost them some lottery balls with it?

And then, ultimately, I think it's the question of what Cam Thomas' ceiling is because, you know... he's, he's likely like, is he good enough to be the third guy on a really good team? I know his scoring is that, uh, and again, he was better this year. I know Nets fans go crazy for him because he puts up huge, huge numbers, but you know, whatever.

I don't even know that we need to dig into it all that much more. All right. The Sixers offense, 24th defense, 25th last year, offense, 14th defense, 11th. We know the obvious stuff. Um, Paul George, worst advanced stats of his career. Max's three-point shooting has gone down four straight years, 43, 43, 37, 34.

I think that's a volume thing where I really felt like he was pressing because they needed him so badly offensively to just kind of carry them. So I'd give him a bit of a pass on some of the efficiency declining here. The McCain injury ruined the one feel-good story about this team, and then ultimately we're stuck with Embiid and an unknown future. The Embiid extension was irresponsible.

There's plenty of times where something will happen, I'll have a thought, and then a couple days removed from that thought or somebody will say, hey, you know what was really going on here was like this thing or that thing. You can try me on the Embiid thing and tell me there's all these things that I don't understand about it. I'm not changing my mind.

Three years, $193 million, fully guaranteed, not like the previous extension where they had protections. You saw him laboring. Thanks for the Serbia quarter, but for the most part, he looked like he was diminished. And maybe that's the positive. Cause like the on off stuff with him and Embiid historically has been, this is a special basketball team in the regular season when he's been out there.

That did not happen this year because when you watch it, it's like, Hey, he got his stats, but did you see him? He does not move unless he has the ball or knows exactly where he's moving. So knowing that they gave him this extension and, when they had him under contract for two years and a player option, right? It's inexcusable.
