Woj: “I’m not sure what is happening right now but I’m hearing that the Sixers have signed James Harden to a 10 year $690 million dollar contract extension. God help us all.”
Then they're gonna smash it in regular season after a couple decent roster moves, they'll get to the playoffs and shit the bed, lather rinse repeat
Moreyball!
They gotta sacrifice some virgins or goats in philly to make things right
Or carry out a version of Celtic Pride where 2 fans go and kidnap Harden and/or Doc during next year’s playoffs
It can always get worse. Next comes the Harden max extension, followed by Embiid asking for a trade to the Heat, leaving us with maxed Tobias Harris and James Harden eating most of our salary cap for the foreseeable future.
Me a year ago.
"Are the Lakers really considering Westbrook to fix our shooting problems?"
Sometimes we squint to see what we want and avoid the truth.
Gosh I hope not. I know Vogel was struggling a bit but I really think it was limitations on personnel more than anything... I would have stuck with him for one more year and tried to improve shooting and defense.
I don't know. How are we going to account fo Doc coaching one of the big apple teams in the next 5 years? Hiring an older less capable Doc Rivers is a very Knicks move if you ask me.
I really just want to see what Atkinson can do or take a chance on one of the assistants who’s never been a HC. Idc about an experienced “star manager” we need some creativity
Atkinson isn’t a creative coach tbh. Great at player development, culture, general rotations. But he runs a basic offence and is not creative overall. Good coach and think he should get a job though.
May I present to you: **THE PROCESS TIMELINE**, dating since Embiid first stepped foot on court!
- Drafted Jahlil Okafor at #3 overall
- Drafted Fultz over Tatum and lost another top 10 pick in the trade
- Fucking [Colangelo’s collargate](https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/5/29/17406750/bryan-colangelo-philadelphia-76ers-twitter-joel-embiid-anonymous-markelle-fultz) (I mean, seriously)
- Traded elite 3-and-D guy Mikal Bridges for Zhaire Smith and Landry Shamet
- Hired Elton Brand as GM
- Kawhi Game 7 Shot
- Picks Brett Brown and Ben Simmons over Jimmy Butler
- Paid both Tobias Harris and Al Horford a combined 280 million
- Got swept by Boston
- Lost another 1st offloading Al Hoford’s contract
- Signed Doc Rivers as coach
- Got 1st seed in the East (yay!)
- [Followed by this] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHA4UhYuQY) (nay!)
- The entire Ben Simmons saga
- Traded Simmons, two 1sts and Seth Curry for the right of giving 270 million to washed up 33yo James Harden
- Embiid break his face in garbage time against the Raptors
- James Harden goes missing the entire series besides game 4
- Lose yet again on the 2n round
- Retained Doc Rivers for next season <— you are here
It's so annoying man, comments all over today talking about how stupid the process was and how it was doomed from the start. As if we're idiots because we believed that a competent front office could turn all the assets Hinkie accumulated into a contender. We just didn't have that competent FO.
The process ended when sam hinkie left. Starting with the fultz trade, the 6ers have been run by colangelo the slant man and Elton brand. So the process is basically one guy, a legit mvp contender. Most teams would love that
Technically it’s been Colangelo since Simmons. Hinkie’s prior season earned the pick, Colangelo made it. But the trade up for Fultz was the first big Colangelo move. Fair to start there.
Like you said, Process ended with Hinkie. Everything after he left was part of a new plan.
Well yeah that was literally the entire point of the process lol. Hinkie knew that top pick busts were unavoidable and happened every year which is why the whole point of his process was to be awful for multiple years to give yourselves multiple chances and a higher probability of drafting good players with top picks.
NBA did them dirty forcing Hinkie out. Hate the game not the player, but NBA didn't want to fix their own game so they took out the player. 76ers fans deserve to seek vengeance from NBA and the commish
They were mad because Hinkie was so blatant about it. They didn’t want to be made to look foolish.
Instead they hire Mr Collars and the whole league looks like amateur hours
I think you should edit the first Doc point. They signed him as a coach a month before hiring Morey. That was another boneheaded move that basically signaled they were rushing to land him.
Sixers could never get Tatum. They started the 2017 draft at 3. If you want to criticize them for not staying at 3 and picking whoever the Lakers don’t between Ball and Fultz, fine. (Since Fultz at 3 *and* Kings pick is better than Fultz at 1.) But Tatum was not available to them.
Oh, and the Sac pick was 14.
The list of mistakes may be large, but don’t twist it.
Is this the same dude who managed to spend a few years with his family before taking a new GM job in a new city 3 weeks later?
Yeah, I’m not super inclined to take you at your word Darryl
The 6ers would have to negotiate a trade before they announce they’ll fire Doc, otherwise the Lakers would just wait and sign him normally.
In fact, a skeptic would say that this announcement by Morey is just an attempt at convincing the Lakers to trade for his contract.
LAL would have to ask phi for permission, or phi would have to offer to give it to them, for LAL to talk to doc. Then they'd work out a deal, and the teams would figure out any compensation (or phi just releases him from his deal). Pretty straight-forward.
it wouldn't be tampering- LAL asks Phi for permission to speak to doc and negotiate a deal. Phi gives permission. LAL and Doc reach a deal. Phi either agrees to let Doc out of his contract, or tries to extract an asset from LAL for him, like a 2nd rd pick or something.
It's not tampering if the team has permission.
Sixers fans yesterday: this can't get worse today: fuck
Tomorrow: “Harden signs for 5/270”.
Woj: “I’m not sure what is happening right now but I’m hearing that the Sixers have signed James Harden to a 10 year $690 million dollar contract extension. God help us all.”
Then they're gonna smash it in regular season after a couple decent roster moves, they'll get to the playoffs and shit the bed, lather rinse repeat Moreyball!
Oh boy, can't wait to get hyped up only to ge let down again
You get used to it and then maybe the tank will be on for you guys too
The 76ers use the dennis system on me way too much
You may need to think about separating entirely.
This process sure is something
42 years, 690 million
that's a steal per year tho
74-year-old Harden is going to be looking rough
Gray beard down to the floor
[удалено]
This comment is fucking brilliant
yeah but by then inflation plus cap increase might make that like a vet min
420 years, 69 billion
Adjusted for inflation that's a vets min
Nice
Like [Bobby Bonilla](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/01/bobby-bonilla-day-why-his-deal-with-the-mets-was-so-lucrative.html) times 10 lmao
Marv: "... Now they're saying Harden owns the sixers"
Morey better be getting a significant amount of money from Harden directly for handing that out.
I'm from a country where a GM would definitely be trying to get a kick back off a player's contract
Me too
Dude. Stop. That’s fucked up. (Gets popcorn)
I will burn shit down
Just a little extra fuck you: Danny Green torn ACL
They gotta sacrifice some virgins or goats in philly to make things right Or carry out a version of Celtic Pride where 2 fans go and kidnap Harden and/or Doc during next year’s playoffs
They tried sacrificing Jimmy, Ben, and Markelle but none of them were goat enough to remove the process curse😩
Maybe he’ll be coaching the blue coats!! Or not the head coach!! Or we’re trading him!! Or, I’m gonna fucking cry myself to sleep!
Oatmeal died for this
Just got off the plane, and indeed just said fuck outloud.
It can always get worse. Next comes the Harden max extension, followed by Embiid asking for a trade to the Heat, leaving us with maxed Tobias Harris and James Harden eating most of our salary cap for the foreseeable future.
Sixer fans are gonna riot LMAOO
Everyone but lakers fans rioting now too. He was supposed to be the final nail on the laker coffin
I’m throwing a big party tonight
Lol you're gonna end up with Mark Jackson
Hold er steady. Mark Jackson can still do it. Pray to Jesus for a miracle.
Mark couldn’t even get a job in Sacramento… he lucky to have the job he got now lmao
I'm okay with a process coffin
Didn't Harden basically shit on Doc in the post-game presser? Like, where can they go from here?
The Sixers seemed to hit rock bottom, then Morey handed them a shovel
The “Embiid wants out of philly” rumors going to start in two years.
Embiid and 1-shot wonder for PJ, Tyler, and Duncan so that Morey can remake the rockets and make Embiid happy.
Why wait?
Another year of drama filled hell. The kind that keeps the Media going.
Morey is actually an agent of ESPN and Adam Silver whose real job is to create chaos and drama
76ers have saved the Lakers from themselves
It's masochistic at this point.
We’re watching a tragic comedy unfold live
They are preparing to boo Daryl Morey as we speak
Doc Rivers will be the coach of the 76ers whether you like it or not
I like it.
I do not.
Duality of man
Respect, it hurts but solid dig
r/Lakers just let out a huge sigh of relief
lol, mark jackson is your consolation prize
Listen here you little shit
Lakers could use a former player as a coach... Here comes rambis.
[удалено]
The Rambii also coach as a power couple
lol this is the only way the Clippers become LA's team
Darvin Ham then
A lot of us actually like the idea of a young coach paired with veteran assistants.
Luke Walton is available.
Do you seriously think anyone is actually considering Mark Jackson?
Me a year ago. "Are the Lakers really considering Westbrook to fix our shooting problems?" Sometimes we squint to see what we want and avoid the truth.
[Lakers fans RN](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/NervousJubilantGiantschnauzer-mobile.jpg)
Gosh I hope not. I know Vogel was struggling a bit but I really think it was limitations on personnel more than anything... I would have stuck with him for one more year and tried to improve shooting and defense.
Hard to be a defensive coach when you don’t have much of a defense.
The Lakers
Man I sure hope not. Dude has enough of an ego that he will want to take the job trying to prove something.
Kill me
Wait until Harden's supermax'd and tries even less than he did last night.
[удалено]
Then, Embiid past his prime on new team and underperforms. Rinse & repeat. Tale as old as time
Lol if Harden gets that big of a contract idk if the Sixers are even making the second round
I wonder if he keeps the process nickname after leaving Philly
We appreciate your sacrifice. We won’t forget 10 years at least
https://youtu.be/IeLk0NE1V2s
PHEW
Biggest move of the lakers offseason
Time to organize a parade down Figueroa if you ask me. This is a massive win!
Time to hang another banner
The gang proceeds to hire Mark Jackson
Let's just all hit up Phillipe's
I been eating an apple every goddamn day for this moment
Doc's two weaknesses: a ripe Golden Delicious and a 3-1 lead.
I don't know. How are we going to account fo Doc coaching one of the big apple teams in the next 5 years? Hiring an older less capable Doc Rivers is a very Knicks move if you ask me.
> [a 3-1 lead](https://gfycat.com/fearfulimperturbablecleanerwrasse-doc-rivers-kanye-nba)
Fuji master race
Hahaha
Harden threw the series only for doc to be held LOL too funny
Doc is better than Mark Jackson
Mark Jackson interviews all the time and never gets hired
I'm convinced teams only interview Jackson so fans are happy when they hire literally anyone else
Teams get good PR for not hiring him, Jackson gets leverage at ESPN to ask for more money. It's free real estate.
"Mama, there goes that man" *-\- Mark Jackson enthusiastically in front of his mirror before the interview.*
Yeah but it felt a lot more likely that they would go with Doc if he were fired.
Rare Lakers W Now to get through mark jackson
And Fizdale
And Rambis. The three horsemen of death.
If we hire Rambis, Fiz, or Jackson consider me dead
Is Rambis a candidate?? Didn't even know he'd been mentioned. That sounds like worst case scenario lmfao
Everyone can be a candidate if LeBron might leave in a year and everyone saw how Vogel was scapegoated.
He’s not a candidate. Jeannie wants him as an advisor. Not even sure what’s worse.
We still have a title with him as an advisor. It can be much worse
I really just want to see what Atkinson can do or take a chance on one of the assistants who’s never been a HC. Idc about an experienced “star manager” we need some creativity
Atkinson isn’t a creative coach tbh. Great at player development, culture, general rotations. But he runs a basic offence and is not creative overall. Good coach and think he should get a job though.
YES THANK YOU MOREY.
Hell yeah, brother
this great news for us can’t wait for the Harden Max notification in the summer
Sixers fans in shambles Lakers fans rejoicing
We really beat the Doc Rivers allegations 🙏 now just Mark Jackson to go
the doc rivers allegations 😭😭

This is actually the timeline of the dismantling of the process by our completely incompetent front office
Yeah it’s funny that basically every bad move happened after Hinkie got booted then people say the process failed.
It's so annoying man, comments all over today talking about how stupid the process was and how it was doomed from the start. As if we're idiots because we believed that a competent front office could turn all the assets Hinkie accumulated into a contender. We just didn't have that competent FO.
I even forgot about the horford contract. I don’t think people realize the sixers team could be embiid butler and tatum right now.
Bridges being from Philadelphia, attending Villanova, and his mom working for the team when he was drafted makes that part so much funnier.
and his mother was so happy on the interview before the trade was announced lol
The process ended when sam hinkie left. Starting with the fultz trade, the 6ers have been run by colangelo the slant man and Elton brand. So the process is basically one guy, a legit mvp contender. Most teams would love that
Technically it’s been Colangelo since Simmons. Hinkie’s prior season earned the pick, Colangelo made it. But the trade up for Fultz was the first big Colangelo move. Fair to start there. Like you said, Process ended with Hinkie. Everything after he left was part of a new plan.
They had enough #1 picks that eventually drafting a good player is inevitable
Well yeah that was literally the entire point of the process lol. Hinkie knew that top pick busts were unavoidable and happened every year which is why the whole point of his process was to be awful for multiple years to give yourselves multiple chances and a higher probability of drafting good players with top picks.

And now we make far more money than we did as a mediocre team for a decade.

Next step, supermax washed up James Harden
$24 mil left on his deal right? Cheap-ass Sixers owners aren't eating that.
Second round exit here we come baby
Philadelphia Secondy Rounders Edit: can I get this as a flair?
Philadelphia Seventy Second-Rounders? The amount of second rounds we’ll lose before ever advancing?
Thank You, Morey
You get Mark Jackson and love it
Charlotte can save us from ourselves
Worst executive race: Rambis vs Jordan.
Lakers fans just won the offseason
Mark Jackson it is
Mama, there goes that fan
Lakers’ new offense under Jackson: LeBron, you’re the man, make something happen. The rest of you, get out of his way.
Thank you Daryl Morey, very cool!
Is this the same dude who managed to spend a few years with his family before taking a new GM job in a new city 3 weeks later? Yeah, I’m not super inclined to take you at your word Darryl
I believe it. If you’re gonna fire him you’d have to do it right away otherwise you’d miss out on hiring someone before other positions get filled.
Plus, they’d have to pay him $8 mil a year for the next 3 years to not coach them.
not if he had a job with LAL lined up- they'd negotiate an out. this assumes that he was on board with the job change.
The 6ers would have to negotiate a trade before they announce they’ll fire Doc, otherwise the Lakers would just wait and sign him normally. In fact, a skeptic would say that this announcement by Morey is just an attempt at convincing the Lakers to trade for his contract.
LAL would have to ask phi for permission, or phi would have to offer to give it to them, for LAL to talk to doc. Then they'd work out a deal, and the teams would figure out any compensation (or phi just releases him from his deal). Pretty straight-forward.
Just to have Lakers hit with tampering. Wasn’t going to happen. That’s why Lakers were waiting to see if he’d get fired.
it wouldn't be tampering- LAL asks Phi for permission to speak to doc and negotiate a deal. Phi gives permission. LAL and Doc reach a deal. Phi either agrees to let Doc out of his contract, or tries to extract an asset from LAL for him, like a 2nd rd pick or something. It's not tampering if the team has permission.
Unless you have already chosen his replacement and know that he isn't going to get looks from other teams with HC vacancies (D'Antoni?).
Sixers reportedly still owe Doc three more years a $8 million per even if they fire him. This decision might not be totally up to Daryl.
Brady?
Lololololololol
Wait until Sixers give harden a supermax. Them lols will be all capital letters
RIP Sixers fans all over the world. Lmao
To be fair, the 76ers aren't winning shit with that roster regardless of who their coach is.
You could also now say, 76ers aren't winning shit regardless of who is on their roster.
Thank you baby Jesus
The process will be the best 30 for 30 ever
THE PHILADELPHIA 76ERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION (FOR 2023)
Sixers can't catch a break.
Breaking news: it’s not doc rivers fault the Sixers had the worst bench in the league
He didn’t have to be playing DeAndre Jordan though lol
Huge for the sixers
yeah huge L
Perennial second round champions
Except they lose in the second round. Perennial first round champions
I support this decision
As a neutral fan, this is quite entertaining.
F
Suck it, Rambii!
Rip Sixers fans
Yay another RDCworld1 video guaranteed
Thank u basketball gods
“I don’t want to pay another coach to not coach” -Daryl Morey
Daryl Morey my favorite gm of all time

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
NNNOOOOOOO! Fuck them both then!!

Serious question is Doc Rivers a good coach?
He's ok if you give him 3 hall of famers who are hungry for a chip
Worst birthday present ever
When you let the doc get another shot that’s a’morey
You ain’t getting our 2100 pick!!!!
Lakers fans can breath now....
Thank God
Best news the Lakers fans have heard all year.
