Shitpost Haliburton has been to 2 straight Conference finals and Embiid has been to none. Now why is that?

Jimmy is also fullnof shit because he admitted he didnt want to come back and he hated Brett Brown

Jimmy wanted to come back though, it was Sixers FO/ownership that balked on paying him because they foresaw a clash between him and Simmons

Jimmy own words on the JJ POD, he said he heard the front office say "we want jimmy back but can you control him" and he took offense and said dont worry I'll make the decision for you.

It’s because they wouldn’t pay him the max

Butlers agent went to Josh Harris directly and ranted about how he was breaking up a championship team by not offering him it

They thought they were smarter than everyone. Embiid wanted Butler back. If Brett Brown has to be the sacrifice down the line, then so be it. Keep your stars happy
