Scal had a good point that I’d kind of forgotten about Tatum being passed on by the Sizers  8)

Pretty sweet.

Yup

Has to be Tatum, right? Not only did they pass on him, their #1 pick failed completely. If they had a guy like Mitchell, Adebayo, Lauri or Isaac it'd be alright, but they got nothing.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

I hear the most complaining about Horford, followed by coaching.

I think they’re trying to block the Tatum + #1 for Fultz trade from their memories.

But I thought they wanted Fultz and not Tatum lol hence why Ainge wanted to trade and get that extra pick back.

And the Lakers, too, somehow thinking Lonzo Ball was gonna be part of their future- guess not.

I chose a Tatum, but “Other” might be: You have the closest thing to Shaq and he won’t put dudes in the torture chamber on the block. If I was a Sixers fan every shot Embiid takes outside the paint would be infuriating. As a Celtics fan, I love it.

Imo, that would have been a better team than their current one, plus they would have had ~$18 million in cap space + their picks intact.

PG: Simmons / Fultz / Milton
SG: Redick / Shamet / Korkmaz
SF: Bridges / Luwawu-Kabarrot
PF: Covington / Saric
C: Embiid / Holmes

The Sixers had amassed an impressive ammount of picks/future assets, only to squander them in stupid trades. I'm so glad Danny Ainge is running the C's! :)

fultz as a starter is contributing to playoff victories For orlando. That is pretty painful to see For a phillY fan. They may have moved on from fultz too early or just plain sucked at developing him correctly

I'll wait until we get game 3 before I comment here, lol.

We have them on the ropes but they aren't done, yet.

The last time the Celtics played the 76ers in a Game 3...the infamous confetti game in Philadelphia happened!  ;)

you are correct. and i think that if ainge had kept the number one pick he intended to get tatum anyway. so, ainge got his man, at a lower salary, and another draft pick as well.

if i recall correctly, philly wanted fultz and was afraid that LA would select him at #2, leaving them with lonzo ball at #3. so they moved up the rest is history.  ;D

I mean they never actually had a shot at Tatum The c's had the number one pick, wanted Tatum, and trade the 1  because they knew he'd be available at 3.

The real answer is the fact that they paid Harris 180 million after overpaying for him in a trade.

You forgot to include jimmy butler playing lights out for the heat. He also got a playoff victory. Lol. He’s the “one who got away”


Is this the worst week/ season (versus expectations) in 76er history! Lol


Number of playoff wins in the bubble:

Markelle Fultz: 1
Jimmy Butler: 1
Philadelphia 76ers: 0



Post from a 76ers board: “As usual, when our players leave, they play much better than how they did here. If this is not an indicator of how awful Brett is, then nothing will.
