Long time ago I told them to go for Kofi Cockburn now look how he in doing in Korea
No
Real Sixers fans want them to tank for Bronny 👍
Clippers fans warned ya all. Paul George needs a playmaker to get him open looks. He is not a shot creator. No way at his age and injury history was he worth that deal.
if he's hurt, shut him down. no clue why sixers keep hiding his injuries
You cannot tank below 4th worst because the balls can fall against you in the draft and you end up 7th and have nothing
Breaking News Sixers are tanking for Sheduer Sanders.
I keep on hearing “tank”. Tanking is what got this pitiful franchise to its current state. Karma is a bee-awtch
Tanking would do nothing, Silver would do everything in his power to make sure the Sixers pick fell out of the top 6.
Tank and get Cooper and trade Embiid. (Simplicity)
Move forward let's be realistic
According to wiki, to be guaranteed their pick, the sixers have to finish with one of the two worst records—— finishing with the third worst record would give them a 7 percent chance of getting the 7th pick. Which would send that pick rights to some other team.
A dumpster fire 🔥 of a team and its sad and I love the Sixers
Lol broken face
Way too early to tank. The panic was with the Eagles when they were 2&2
SHOULD'VE PAID JAMES HARDEN
Who wants to be on a team that's "tanking"? Most of the players on the team are gonna be replaced off of such a team by the high draft choices.
Keith “here’s the deal” Pompey
Also remember Detroit beat them in Philly also
we are not doing tanking hell no
Smdh if this was Elton brand that screwed up this resigning of a hurt Joel embiid, he would've been fired
The league will never let the sixers win the lottery, sixers always had baf management Morey stinks
Just tank , Joel is shot , Mr glass will get hurt again,
Who the hell is cooper flag anyway
Sit him and put him on Ice. They need to trade him day one when trades open in July. But who wants a player whose body is shot ??? He is now a backup at best and could fit in well with a top team. The Sixers are screwed with zero leverage to make a move.
Tank and trade Embiid
