They had a comedy of errors, the WORST luck, and we’re forced to bring in the ****ing Colangelos so the original architect never got to finish his product.The Sixers not only tanked for high lottery picks, they also were happy to let players red shirt their first year. It happened with Noel, Embiid and Simmons. Sixers were extremely well set up to compete at the highest level, but they were unfortunate with Markelle Fultz, and they mishandled Jimmy Butler.
Still ended up with a former MVP, a current MVP candidate, a young stud… and will have a semi-legit chance to win it all if Harden is good. They were also a bad bounce away from making it to the East finals and maybe winning a title.
Here is what it took to mess up their tank…
Fultz busts his shoulder up and forgets how to shoot in the weirdest set of events ever.
They trade Mikal Bridges for a guy who almost dies when he has an allergic reaction to sesame seeds.
They give up a haul to get Tobias Harris so they can pay him a ton of money and decide it’s better than keeping Jimmy who could have been the answer to all their issues.
Flubbed up the Okafor pick. Nerlens is never good or healthy for them.
Their all nba forward guard has a mental block and refuses to shoot. Ends up sitting out and forcing a trade.
Also their GM gets caught up in a Twitter burner scandal and is openly mocked.
They stacked the deck enough that they still are a top 6-7 team because if you get a few things really right at the top of the draft it will carry you.
