Charlie Brown, nose to the bathroom mirror, fogging it up with his hot breathy tears, calling himself a fucking idiot
Last week, Joel Embiid pleaded with the Sixers owners not to make the team worse by ducking the tax.
The Sixers proceeded to dump Jared McCain and Eric Gordon for one 1st, three 2nds, a 2nd-round pick swap and zero players.
BUT AT LEAST THEY DUCKED THE TAX AGAIN WOOT WOOT

Daryl/Elton/Nurse are the same guys who took McCain 16th, watched him blow up to be ROY favorite, didn't trade him in the offseason, then a few lost months as he works his way back and they boot him for a late 1st? I'm lacing up my Charlie Brown kicking cleats and saying there's more to come.

look I'm just a guy who wants to grab Josh Harris by the ankles and shake a few billion out of his pockets & his unpleasant mouth, but trading Jared McCain is not the move you make for the sole purpose of ducking the tax -- there has to be some move they are stacking 1st round picks to go in on

The thing I’ll remember most about last night isn’t the play on the court. It’s how much money was made.

Unrivaled’s Philadelphia spectacle delivers not just a big crowd, but a profitable one
Comcast Spectacor's chief financial officer told Unrivaled's leaders, "we think that you’ll be able to sell out this building, and we’ll all be profitable from it.” A record crowd proved that right.

I am brokebrained/galaxybrained/sixersbrained enough that on the scale of Something Must Befall The Sixers (commonly known as Markelle's Paradox), the PG suspension has real potential positive ramifications that I am just going to cling to and I don't have any integrity left to feel bad about that

Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.
