The Philadelphia 76ers are promoting assistant general manager Jameer Nelson to the team's Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations under new President Mike Gansey, making the Philly native and former NBA All-Star the No. 2 executive for the franchise, sources tell ESPN. 76ers assistant GM Prosper Karangwa has also agreed to a multiyear contract extension.
I see today is going to be “Blame the Rockets!” day rather than maybe a little introspection from folks who at various times this year said with absolute and total conviction…
•LeBron’s contract is an albatross/Lakers should be desperate to move off him.
•The Lakers are better without LeBron on the court.
•KD & Steph are clearly better than LeBron at this point.
•LeBron was a primary problem with the Lakers defense.
•This offseason any serious team shouldn’t offer LeBron more than the mid-level exception.
•The Rockets had 5 of the 6 best players in the series & should sweep the Lakers.
These takes were EVERYWHERE all year long. You were considered delusional/fanboy if you pushed back at all.
And this morning, instead of recognizing that folks are somehow STILL wildly underrating/underestimating the 🐐, they’re just yelling at Durant & Udoka. 😂😂😂
