AJ Brown thoughts:
-best WR to play 2+ years for the Eagles & will be sorely missed
-2025 was his worst year and he took a noticeable step back (whether due to Patullo, wear & tear or mentally checking out)
-locker room situation was untenable and will be addition by subtraction
who could have possibly guessed that Daryl Morey acquiring -1 rotation players at the deadline this year would come back to bite the Sixers in the playoffs?
34 & 12 FROM JOEL EMBIID.
30 & 11 FROM TYRESE MAXEY.
SIXERS WIN GAME 7.
They are just the 3RD DUO in NBA history to each record 30+ PTS & 10+ REB in a Game 7 🚨
The others?
Kobe Bryant & Shaquille O'Neal (2002)
Dolph Schayes & George Yardley (1959)
Topper made some mistakes in big spots (‘25 NLDS) & overall contributed to the complacency that infiltrated the Phillies.
That being said, hard to win a WS as a manager when the GM spends $233M on the rotten corpses of Castellanos, Walker, Merrifield, Gregorius, Kepler, & Romano
An offseason of significant change for the #Eagles could include G Landon Dickerson‘s uncertain future. @Jeff_McLane mentions here Dickerson’s no certainty to return. I’ve heard some of the same. Only 27 and five years into his career but his body has been through a lot. TBD.
What a disaster of a trade deadline for the Sixers. Embiid is back in MVP form, Maxey is taking a leap, and the response was selling a fan favorite for draft capital while not improving the team at all. A huge F-you to the players and the fanbase.
@TheMushBros Dombrowski will sign a platoon bat and maybe 1 other pitcher and call it an offseason, then massively overpay at the deadline in a trade because he didn’t build a good enough roster in the offseason
