I don't think Morey right after the Sixers got bounced would've answered that question any other way, no matter what the plans are for next year.

The roster isn’t that great either. Embiid is amazing. Maxey can become an All Star too. Harden is past it in a big way. He gave them more than Simmons, but isn’t getting them a title. Same with Harris. Solid role player. Not a star or worth max money.
No coach is going to win a title with that roster.
I absolutely agree with you that this team is not just a coach away. But…that is one of the main issues that is holding this team back in my opinion. My concern is, the clippers had what many considered to be one of the best rosters in the nba that season and they lost a 3-1 lead in the second round. By most accounts because in true Glen form he didn’t make any changes during the series. The following year without Khawi Ty Lue took the clippers to the western conference finals. Sometimes a different voice does make a big difference when it comes to player buy in and attitude.

PHILADELPHIA — Jimmy Butler demolished the 76ers in the second round of the playoffs, scoring at will, in big spots, against a variety of defenses. Then, just in case not enough noticed, he demolis…

I think trading Ben Simmons was the best opportunity for Morey to get this team to the finals. Instead, his obsession with Harden I think has hamstrung this team for the near future. So now he's gotta have to hit on a draft pick and have Thybulle or Springer improve to starter status.
Fans always want the sports team owners, GMs and coaches to be like them ... complain loudly and often and blame everyone but yourself. They cannot do that, certainly with the modern players. That is why we will never know what they truly think.
His sister is an attention ***** and truly hateable.
You never hear a word from Al. He lets his $h1t talking family do all the yappin. It’s a shame because he seems like a nice guy but because of his family I hope he never wins anything. It’s funny how they just don’t get it when it comes to the Philly/Celtics rivalry and WHY we didn’t like him when he played in Boston. He got all the love when he was here. He also didn’t fit. Then his family started popping off in typical Horford sibling style and the fans turned. Now he’s a Celtic again so he’s hated. They can all go eat glass for all I care. Funny how he’s in the finals…Al is back “home”…but all they want to talk about it Philly.

NBA mock draft: If Sixers keep No. 23, going with an athletic 3-and-D wing

I feel like there’s so many moving parts in the league with the draft tonight. One interesting team is the Nets. If they stick by their guns and Kyrie leaves and this makes KD demand a trade it would be sweet poetic justice for only Ben Simmons to be left on that team. Wonder if they would move on from him as well since it seems like he has zero desire to play again.
How would that even work? Would they trade Harden back to Brooklyn? Harris?
2021-22 Nets turn into 2022-23 Sixers. That's a recipe for success. lol
hmm, that's a tough one.
I'd say no, in large part because KD will be 34 before the start of the upcoming season, while Embiid will be 28. And while there is concern that Joel's body will start to break down in the coming years, KD already seems to have started that process.
