Absolutely..the goal wasn't to be a treadmill team and to get a franchise player and have flexibility. Looks like the Sixers have a generational talent at center and then a 6'10 point forward who also maybe a generational talent.
The goal was to build a team that could one day compete for a title. They're a ways away from that. Everyone else is just happy they're not embarrassing.

They're a few decent guards away from competing for the 8th seed right now and that team record improvement is almost solely on the back of Embiid being a top tier center already. And that's without Simmons.

Why Shaq always beefing with top centers? Only reason he fks with Cousins is cause he got a piece of the Kings. fukk that nicca.

Because he's having a great yr despite playing with a minutes restriction & he's single handedly turned us around..Demarcus got voted in the West they've only won one more game than us


Difference is the Kings are like a game out of the playoffs and also, Cousins is a vet. He's been in the NBA 7 years now and this is his 3rd year in a row making the all-star team.

Embiid is a rookie. Off the top of the my head the only rookie I can think of in the last 20 years that got picked by coaches to make the all-star team was Blake Griffin

I think he deserved it, but again based on how the coaches historically vote, the odds were against him
