Embiid did go for the ball, unless you think Allen’s head is in his left hand.

Now playing defense makes Embiid a dick. Holy shit.

He’s an adult. Stop making excuses for a grown ass man.

An NBA championship is not a “vague” goal, genius.

Holy shit, he even managed to get one of his burner accounts verified. Look at this: twitter.com/AlbertBurneko

You can’t simultaneously blame Hinkie for tanking the 2016 season without giving him credit for the result (Simmons).

Apologize for McConnell, Covington, and Simmons too. Because, deep down, you know Hinkie is the reason for those three players.

Except the Sonics/Thunder didn’t do that on purpose. They did it the old-fashioned way, sucking while trying to win and then getting really really lucky when Portland picked Oden, when Miami and Minnesota passed on Westbrook, and again when Memphis picked Thabeet.

“Hinkie drafted two guys on the roster: Embiid and Saric.”

Sorry, but it is absolutely insane to say they’re in the same spot now as in 2012.

Boston didn’t need to tank because they fleeced the Nets in the dumbest trade in NBA history. They would not have been in position to draw Hayward or trade for Irving.

When people compare the Celtics rebuild (which hinged on a trade that is now illegal) to Sam Hinkie’s rebuild, you know their either idiots or just full of shit.

The Celtics rebuilt from a roster with 3 Hall of Famers. The Sixers rebuilt from a roster that prominently featured LaVoy Allen. Somehow Samer missed that.

Take a look at the 2013 Sixers roster and tell me how you’re going to build a contender out of that without tanking. I dare you.

it’s just a guy trying desperately to be funny

Us Process psychos? I’m not even a Philly fan, except insofar as I’m a basketball fan. If I had to rank all the teams I wanted to win a title this year, they wouldn’t make the top 5.

You took a very mild take “this team that once again, I have no emotional interest in, is well-set up for the future” and implied that…

Still, you’d be hard-pressed to find an analyst who doesn’t think Philadelphia is set up very well in the long-run, which is what this whole thing is about. That they’ve made the conference semis already is nothing to sneeze at, either.

Also I’m gonna die on “Al Horford is the Celtic’s best player” hill.

Still just gonna to ignore the fact that the entire deadspin staff thought the process was a colossal failure?

Congrats Celtics you win the right to get pantsed by LeBron, again.
