Let's not pretend Biff is omnipotent. He only controls Embiid's fate. Biff's daughter on the other hand might control Maxey's fate if this thing is genetic. She can't watch.

We don’t know this. In reality we know very little about this dark power of Beef’s. What if it simply seeks out the most important player on the 76ers? That was Embiid, but it’s Maxey now. But the Child? Yeah, 100%. Who knows what she can do.

Robin Lopez was bought out today.

Apparently was reading Backstory 2: Interviews With Screenwriters of the 1940s and 1950s

Clippers are opening Ballmer’s new palace arena next season.

George will be there opening night. He’s not leaving

Way too many people shouting “Fire Morey” when they should be shouting “Sell the Team”.

If Morey’s wildest dreams come true this summer and Paul George is coming here and we need every dollar of available cap space, Jaden Springer could’ve been traded. Probably for more than a single 2nd (KJ Martin got 2 2nds last summer for f*cks sake). That trade wasn’t about this summer.

The reason we had to trade Springer now and to our most hated rival for an awful return was because Josh Harris mandated that we be below the luxury tax. We’re now two buyout contracts and a 700-800k buffer under the luxury tax line. That’s not an accident or a coincidence.

The owner is cheap.

You can't sign a mid level exception buyout if you're over the first apron though. It's all so confusing so maybe what I'm saying isn't what you're saying.

Still, if you're trying to shave salary, for the purpose of a buyout plan, Springer isn't the way to do it. Surely there was another way right?

There surely would’ve been another way. But also, this had literally no other benefit than saving Josh Harris $.

You can’t sign buyout players if you’re above the first apron. The first apron is set at roughly 7MM above the luxury tax line. The Sixers still had plenty of space between them and the apron before the Springer trade and even the House trade. We would’ve been able to sign 2 buyouts and still be comfortably below the apron. Those were moves made purely to save Josh Harris multiple millions of dollars.

Josh Harris is a PoS.....
