OMG! The Jared McCain debacle is so infuriating. A complete own goal by a dysfunctional franchise all to save the owner a few bucks. The worst part of fandom is when you, the fan, know more than the “professionals”running the team. Then you are just forced to sit and watch it happen.

I've read and heard a lot about the Sixers Daryl Morey firing in the last day but I really think most are missing the point. He got fired for one decision, the Joel Embiid extension. McCain trade, George extension, Isaiah Joe release, all were bad but the extension has them trapped in no-man's land.

Lengthy Ongoing Sequential Incompetence Rating (LOSIR) Rating most incompetent performances. 2026 Philly Sports LOSIR 1. Josh Harris (76ers Mismanagement/Epstein Involvement) 2. Daryl Morey (poor scouting own team/Penny Pincher for Harris) 3. Dave Dombrowski (Existing on reputation and $$$ to spend)

1/x An unfortunate side effect of The Process has been to turn a whole generation of basketball bloggers into capologists. This afternoon has been filled with analysis of the Sixers cap, tax and apron standing and very little criticism of the Jared McCain trade itself.

Isn't it amazing how the 76ers have made us all really care if they pay the NBA's luxury tax or not? Let's all come up with scenarios that harm the team the least. They won't spend that much time thinking about it but at least we all care. Right?

It is an amazing thing that there are so many NBA teams that have never heard the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog. It is in James Harden's nature Rockets, Nets, Sixers, Clippers and now, Cavaliers. gretchenrubin.com/podcast/litt...
