I’m more than willing to live and die with Embiid and Maxey as long as they have the right pieces around them. Try to build a cohesive team that can grow together for once.
This is my hope as well. We have our two building blocks, let's bring in some shooting, athleticism .... and youth for a change. Use both picks to draft players who might be able to contribute sooner. More opportunities are going to present themselves due to teams needing to shed salary with the new cap, so it's not as if the 4-5 players continually mentioned will be the only options. And if it takes until the deadline to complete the roster, so be it. Have some patience - the playoffs are all that matter
My greatest fear, and what I almost fully expect to happen, is that Morey is going to take the 'easy' way and max some tired "third star", trade the picks for more space, and fill out the roster with cheap players. The national media is already talking about what "stars" are available, and even the repulsive idea of James coming here.
Hoping for the best, but expecting and fearing the obvious and worst.
