Sixers front office with a disasterclass on how to build for a championship. 8 straight years with no repeat champion and they haven’t even made it to the ECF 1 TIME in this stretch.
De’Aaron Fox’s four-year, $228.6 million extension kicks in next month.
2026-27: $51.0M
2027-28: $55.1M
2028-29: $59.2M
2029-30: $63.3M
Pray for San Antonio.
The decision to keep playing Fox probably cost them 1-2 games this series. I won’t say it lost them the whole series, but man he was absolutely brutal and I can’t believe they kept giving him run despite taking so many bad shots.
Mitch Johnson yesterday:
"De'Aaron Fox will have the basketball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow."
De'Aaron Fox in the fourth quarter:
0 PTS
0-4 FG
0 AST
0 REB
Carmelo Anthony calls out Mitch Johnson for not playing Harrison Barnes in Game 4:
“He’s the guy. He settles everything down. When sh*t gets to rowdy, he settles everything down. I don’t know why he didn’t play in that game, on the road, knowing that you needed to settle your guys down. That was just a bad decision.”
