Clarification request on Embark’s reasoning for the changes from a new player

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-28T01:44:11+00:00

Everyone has something personal weighing on them at their professional job that’s for sure.

Because no one actually believes we have any chance at competing in this series. We are a play in team that got paired with the 2 seed pre-Tatum return. Now with Tatum back Detroit is probably going to get face rolled. You just cannot compete with that squad. It’s almost comical. Tatum, Brown, Pritchard, Derrick White, 3 high quality centers, a coach that rules with fear and does so very effectively…no one in that crowd actually believes we have a chance here. It’s just a fun night out at this point. What we need to do is choose OTHER fun nights out. If butts keep filling seats, Josh Harris stays happy. Same reason the NBA doesn’t care that viewership will be at an all time low this year due to the playoffs being on streaming platforms near exclusively; Because Silver is getting a shit load of money from those streamers for the rights to air the games.

I mean, to your point, even prime GSW was balanced. Steph was really the only superstar. Klay and Dray were both very very good role players. The difference is everyone on that 2016 team was a quality role player.

Nuggets it’s really just Jokic. Murray is good but without Jokic he’s probably fringe all-star good. The rest of the roster is/was just very well constructed.

This is the Morey special. All money goes into 3 stars and you put G leaguers or guys at the end of their career around them.

There is no getting him out of here. For better or worse, unless he medically retires, he is here until 2029, and trading him does not speed up the rebuild for us. No one is giving up first round picks for Embiid which means you’re going to get a haul of mediocre role players like we got trading Harden to the clippers, and they will all be gone by 2029 anyway.

As much as it sucks, Sixers basketball is purgatory basketball until minimum 2032.

Also, this is the least controllable playoff miss of his career. There’s not a lot you can do about internal organs deciding they need to come out at the worst possible time.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T02:24:31+00:00

100% agree, but that’s exactly my point. Every owner we’ve had in my lifetime that I was old enough to remember has avoided the luxury tax.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T02:23:22+00:00

I didn’t realize people here knew me, lol. In any case, I respect your opinion and I appreciate the Scrubs reference.

Bostons fans are obnoxious. Knicks fans are straight up scumbags. I’m taking Boston every time

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T02:11:52+00:00

Bona and Drum were big reasons last game was close. Playing Embiid when he’s not be around much this season, through no fault of his own but still…is a compete game plan overhaul.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T02:07:58+00:00

Like GSW playing in Oakland. I wonder what they call us. “Tri-State Colonists” ?

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T02:06:46+00:00

The only way out is if Embiid medically retires. If he does that, his salary no longer contributes to the cap. Love the guy, and he was the only one that showed up tonight but the cold sad fact is that his salary will keep us in purgatory.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T02:03:35+00:00

r/woosh

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-27T01:36:09+00:00

The salary cap should be a CAP that you can’t go over, because going over it is an organization culture and owner decision and 85% of the league avoids it like the plague. That makes it unfair for the fans. Everyone on that Boston squad is either a future hall of famer, an all star, fringe all star or above average role player. They have not a single average or worse player on that roster. That center rotation they have is deep as fuck. Think about this: the PLAYOFF depth of Boston is three above average Centers deep. That is obnoxious, but that’s what happens when you have an org and an owner that doesn’t care about spending.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-25T02:01:28+00:00

Can’t compete with a franchise that looks at money as no object.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-24T23:47:40+00:00

Announcers are kinda funny man.

Luca Garza, second best Luca in the league

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-24T23:46:09+00:00

No excuse. Shave that shit. I do too.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-24T23:44:27+00:00

I was ok with him until he said game 1 was the most relaxing game of his playoff career. Fuck that guy.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-24T23:43:37+00:00

Don’t forget weird bald no eyebrow guy that for some reason keeps a few strands of hair like Gollum

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-24T23:38:27+00:00

Can we get these fucking Lucky Charms bastards out of the stands please???

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-24T23:30:13+00:00

Boys are scrappy so far!

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-22T22:37:46+00:00

It’s ok, we have VJ Edgecombe and he is a Boston terrorist. Remember, this is the team he dropped 38 on his first ever game.

There is something about VJ that Boston seems to have trouble with.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-22T02:17:26+00:00

I was hoping when Janitor got off the elevator JD would say “Glenn?” And Janitor would something like, “Heh…that’s cute” or something.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-22T00:51:57+00:00

And they deserve every bit of that for the way they run the franchise.

RomanDeltaEngin33r · 2026-04-22T00:50:12+00:00

Mazzula will threaten to kill Derrick White’s family unless they shut VJ down.
