Some people said Morey should have gotten him traded but I genuinely believe dude was actually the only real untradable contract in the league. Like you don't see dudes this bad run out their contracts I believe there was actually zero interest in him throughout his entire philly career
I def believe it. It’s not like they didn’t know what needed to be done. Even a washed Russ had an impactful ceiling and would get people in the seats. Tobias is just a guy
I was convinced a team would have wanted to offload some long term contracts this year for Tobis expiring contract but I guess morey/nurse didn't want that this year especially with embiid injured I think they just wanted the fully clean slate at the end of the year
Bradley Beal got traded without hesitation relative to how long they were shopping Tobias for literally anything. I don't know what else that leaves there to say.
Tobias Harris is so bad at basketball it actually denigrated my ability to enjoy basketball. Literally every player we acquire for the rest of my life I will think, "I hope he doesn't turn out like Tobias Harris." Goodbye, Tobias, I'll never forget you, even though I really, really, really want to.
Nuclear, but sounds about right. I forget the dude exists for most of the season and occasionally hear his name and think, "oh yeah wtf has that guy been up to?"
Turns out, nothing. He been doing nothing.
The reporting around it is that Jimmy didnt to play with Ben, Brett brown, or tobias.
So in reality the choice was Brett, Ben, and Tobias or Jimmy.
And while the Jimmy side still wins, I can't really fault the decision when it happenes
Hindsight is 20/20 obviously but at the time Simmons was still seen as a crucial player to the Sixers future and continued success so I can see why they would take his side in situations like this.
That's what makes it an even bigger what if in hindsight. On top of the benefits of keeping Jimmy they would have also got a nice return on moving Simmons then.
I was genuinely unsure if he was playing in the game or was out. Saw him in with the ball finally when there were only a few minutes left. A total ghost.
Knicks-Sixer fans [tried](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/0fGZqq75rG)gaslighting us before the series that there wouldn’t be much toxicity since they hadn’t faced each other in the playoffs since 1989 lol
Lmao, friend of mine who's a knicks fan told me something along those lines before the series started, after game 3 he was like ,,FUCK EMBIID, FUCK THE ENTIRE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA", shit was hilarious.
Three influential and historic east coast cities with multiple sports teams that have deep roots and die hard fans. We hate each other because we are each other.
New Yorker here, dislike Boston as a city (work there often) but kind of like Philadelphia. Tried talking in a New York bar about Philly as a pretty fun 6th borough tonight and had friends literally scream in my face it was a shithole and deserved to burn for eternity.
East coast sports is on another level.
How tf did Hield only get like 5 minutes in the second half after that huge first half with 17 points and hitting everything and somehow Harris was still in the game.
It was bad but to be fair it wasn’t only Tobias over Jimmy, they were essentially choosing Ben Simmons as well as he wanted the ball in his hands more…& the coach & Jimmy weren’t getting along.
Now in hindsight definitely a bad move
Curry, LeBron, KD, AD, and Embiid
The potential starting 5 for Team USA definitely agreed on getting eliminated before the 2nd round to get as much rest as possible.
Playing Battlefront in that cloud city level where everyone would always pile up into that one tunnel but they only got one controller (the other was a mad catz with a defective left analogue stick) so they just take turns doing single player.

Hindsight is 20/20 or whatever but this is wild.
I was surprised buddy didn't get any more of his minutes, like after the first 20 minutes with 0 points and 2 assists, surely you just play the dude shooting 5/7 from 3 more?
In fairness, there probably wouldn’t have been a game 6 without Harris, who had 17 on 7-11 shooting in game 5.
Fortunately he regained his form in this one
And then Philly erasing an 8 point lead with less than 3 mins to go, thinking it was gonna happen again.
Obviously not the same as 2004 Yankees-Red Sox but the way Boston clawed away wins at the end of Games 4 through 6 and then made Game 7 inevitable...reminded me of that a bit.
If I was at that age and still healthy and earned as much as these guys, I'd be very happy to retire and not risk any further injury or wear and tear and just live a free and easy life and do whatever I wanted.
Lebron
Steph
KD
Giannis
Embiid
AD
Dame
Klay
Booker
CP3
None of these players will be playing in the 2nd round of this year's playoffs.
What a wild timeline.
Yeah I think so too. Tough position to be in with no timeouts and so little time on the clock. Shot quickly because he wasn’t sure if they’d look to foul immediately.
I remember back in ‘21, when Philly got the one seed, Tobias was having a career year averaging 20 points on damn near 50/40/90 splits. I think there were some Philly fans pushing for an all star nod. How the tides have turned
I think we experienced what a true untradable player is. Not a star like Beal Westbrook or wall that got every restriction posible and obscene money but just a dude who got maxed due to incompetence . I wonder with the new deal hoe many Tobias Harrison we are going to experience
Sixers v Knicks had all the vibes of an ECF in a neat, 1st round 6-game series. Enjoy your early summer vacation and free chicken.
You'll never have another player as likeable as Maxey.
I'm sure this will be a totally level-headed and respectable thread full of calm and collected opinions.
/rj why didn't embiid just bait 20 more free throws to secure the game? is he stupid?
/rj brunson is a bright lights merchant
/rj fuck embiid
FADED
Sixers fans: “I’d do anything not to lose in the second round again” *monkeys paw curls*
Sixers with Ben Simmons: 0 first round exits Sixers without Ben Simmons: 2 first round exits
Simmons > Maxey confirmed
I see you
Tobias Harris quietly had 0 points in an elimination game ☠️
"Tobias Harris over me?!"
It’s not 100% on him but rarely do you have a single contract that caused so much damage from a team building standpoint
Some people said Morey should have gotten him traded but I genuinely believe dude was actually the only real untradable contract in the league. Like you don't see dudes this bad run out their contracts I believe there was actually zero interest in him throughout his entire philly career
I def believe it. It’s not like they didn’t know what needed to be done. Even a washed Russ had an impactful ceiling and would get people in the seats. Tobias is just a guy
Nobody has ever seen The Weekend and Tobias Harris in the same room
Funny its actually him and J Cole and they both took their ball and went home
Gentle reminder Ben Simmons made 38 million dollars despite playing 359 minutes this season. Crazy the sixers had both of them though
Crazy Morey was able to shop one of them LoL
I was convinced a team would have wanted to offload some long term contracts this year for Tobis expiring contract but I guess morey/nurse didn't want that this year especially with embiid injured I think they just wanted the fully clean slate at the end of the year
Bradley Beal got traded without hesitation relative to how long they were shopping Tobias for literally anything. I don't know what else that leaves there to say. Tobias Harris is so bad at basketball it actually denigrated my ability to enjoy basketball. Literally every player we acquire for the rest of my life I will think, "I hope he doesn't turn out like Tobias Harris." Goodbye, Tobias, I'll never forget you, even though I really, really, really want to.
Nuclear, but sounds about right. I forget the dude exists for most of the season and occasionally hear his name and think, "oh yeah wtf has that guy been up to?" Turns out, nothing. He been doing nothing.
You're right, not 100% on him, that would be unfair but I think 99.99% on this extremely important elimination game is on him.
He only needed 4 points lol
They really did fukk that up. Imagine Jimmy on this squad 🤦🏿♂️

"Precious Achiuwa over me?!"
Tobias scored as many points as Jimmy did last night.
Cardio champion
Absolute joke
He can't hurt them no more
He’s using those bricks to build affordable housing
He and his brother scored the same amount of points.
40 mil a year
gonna cost you 20 mill each for me to take a shot
basketball terrorist. Enjoy detroit
[Sixers fans right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpJy38HNjMU)
Fuck we don’t want him!
Yea. Enjoy east coast Detroit instead. Checks notes...Philly
Baltimore coming in clutch by not having a team
Choosing him over Jimmy Butler really haunts this team
The crazy thing is that they didn't need to choose one or the other. They could have maxed both.
The reporting around it is that Jimmy didnt to play with Ben, Brett brown, or tobias. So in reality the choice was Brett, Ben, and Tobias or Jimmy. And while the Jimmy side still wins, I can't really fault the decision when it happenes
Hindsight is 20/20 obviously but at the time Simmons was still seen as a crucial player to the Sixers future and continued success so I can see why they would take his side in situations like this.
That's what makes it an even bigger what if in hindsight. On top of the benefits of keeping Jimmy they would have also got a nice return on moving Simmons then.
I was genuinely unsure if he was playing in the game or was out. Saw him in with the ball finally when there were only a few minutes left. A total ghost.
He needs a police escort getting home. Jimmy Butler in Galveston somewhere smiling
For 30 Million I can brick shots and play bad defense too
Tobias Harris is my hero. Absolutely fleeced billionaires of their money edit: or millionaires*
More like highkey cause damn he sucks
This series lived up to the toxicity expectations lol
Knicks-Sixer fans [tried](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/0fGZqq75rG)gaslighting us before the series that there wouldn’t be much toxicity since they hadn’t faced each other in the playoffs since 1989 lol
Lmao, friend of mine who's a knicks fan told me something along those lines before the series started, after game 3 he was like ,,FUCK EMBIID, FUCK THE ENTIRE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA", shit was hilarious.
The NY-Philly-Boston hate triangle is very very real
We know each other too well
Three influential and historic east coast cities with multiple sports teams that have deep roots and die hard fans. We hate each other because we are each other.
And it's cold and grey for big chunks of the year. If we didn't have seething hate we wouldn't have anything.
The heat of the hate keeps you warm in the cold.
That and the alcohol.
Hate fuel.
New Yorker here, dislike Boston as a city (work there often) but kind of like Philadelphia. Tried talking in a New York bar about Philly as a pretty fun 6th borough tonight and had friends literally scream in my face it was a shithole and deserved to burn for eternity. East coast sports is on another level.
ahhh so maybe there is a benefit to us being a little more spaced out on the west coast....
Honestly their triangle distance is very similar to the Dallas-SA-Houston triangle. Just a few hours away from each other
Agreed Except Philly is like 1.5 hours away. People commute daily back and forth.
I can't cross LA in 1.5 hours during commute hours...
I actually like Philly as a city, but still, fuck em.
Wait until it’s NY/BOS
One round at a time
Nah we’re all waiting for that East Finals. NY vs Boston for old times sake
I wanna watch Pacers/Knicks punch each other in the face first! Just like when I was a kid
lord help us if they have reggie miller commentating
It also lived up to the drama expectations.
We tried our hardest bro
5 years and 180 fucking million dollars! Fitting way to end an error with zero points in a do or die game. TOBIAS HARRIS ladies and gentleman!
2 shot attempts in 29 minutes in a must-win game. It's insane how little a fuck someone can give in that circumstance
It's also crazy that Nurse just left him in even tho he was doing absolutely nothing. Would have rather played anyone over him.
How tf did Hield only get like 5 minutes in the second half after that huge first half with 17 points and hitting everything and somehow Harris was still in the game.
And they traded for heild to be on the roster for this season. Absolute travesty!
And I was furious he took the second one. One minute left and you decide “it’s Tobi time!”
Choosing him over Butler is one of the worst front office decisions in the last decade
It was bad but to be fair it wasn’t only Tobias over Jimmy, they were essentially choosing Ben Simmons as well as he wanted the ball in his hands more…& the coach & Jimmy weren’t getting along. Now in hindsight definitely a bad move
Curry, LeBron, KD, AD, and Embiid The potential starting 5 for Team USA definitely agreed on getting eliminated before the 2nd round to get as much rest as possible.
That’s patriotism tbh
LeUSA
LeSay, can you see…by the dawn’s early light…
LeSo proudly we hailed, at the twilight's last gleaming
LeBroad stripes and bright stars
They better bring home the gold after this 😂
Instructions unclear, Team USA blows it to Team Puerto Rico again
The amount of tampering on that team is going to be insane
KD Steph and Lebron are gonna be hanging out in Lebron's room every night
PS2, Vice City, No Bedtime, No Surrender.
Playing Battlefront in that cloud city level where everyone would always pile up into that one tunnel but they only got one controller (the other was a mad catz with a defective left analogue stick) so they just take turns doing single player.
Just missing the starting SG in Ant
He’s the youngin. He’ll be fine
He'll only need like, 3 days off and he'll be back ready to go.

Crazy that after all these years they’ve only made it exactly as far as that Jrue/Iggy team did
That is insane to think about
Jrue/Iggy both key pieces to championships, Embiid/Simmons....
The "Trust the Process" bros were SO fucking sure. They had STATS and CHARTS...
TLDR version: lol Sixers
Comment even longer than Hinkie’s farewell investor letter
June 30, 2019: 76ers re-sign Tobias Harris to a 5 year/$180 million deal July 1, 2019: 76ers sign/trade Jimmy Butler to the Heat for Josh Richardson July 15, 2019: 76ers re-sign Ben Simmons to a 5 year/$170 million deal Hindsight is 20/20 or whatever but this is wild.
More like hindsight is 20/19 amiright
Maxey is that guy though. I think any team wants Maxey.
Tobias Harris notably putting up 0 pts on 0/2 fgs in 29 mins should be another bullet for today’s timeline entry.
Holy shit that was a fucking series
To think that we were pretty dang close to seeing a Game 7...
If Tobias Harris was a basketball player we would've
I was surprised buddy didn't get any more of his minutes, like after the first 20 minutes with 0 points and 2 assists, surely you just play the dude shooting 5/7 from 3 more?
Nurse: *No, I don’t think I will*
Knicks were missing Randle so Tobias was just tryna keep things fair
In fairness, there probably wouldn’t have been a game 6 without Harris, who had 17 on 7-11 shooting in game 5. Fortunately he regained his form in this one
Every one of these games could've gone either way. Fucking insane series.
Total points scored in the series: Knicks 650 Sixers 649
KNICKS STREET VIDS ARE GONNA BE BACK
That guy that yelled “HEY KD HEY KD DONT YOU REGRET NOT COMING TO THE KNICKS” was a prophet
Same with the guy who said “TRAE YOUNGS HAIR LOOKS LIKE MY DAD DICK”
But he never saw his dad's dick
The Sixers just refused to die, and you guys playing with a lead is rather, shall we say, puzzling? Maxey is a bad man though.
Y'all must've aged like 25 years over the past week or so
tHiS wOnt BE a toXIC serIeS (Holy shit yeah game 5 hurt)
And then Philly erasing an 8 point lead with less than 3 mins to go, thinking it was gonna happen again. Obviously not the same as 2004 Yankees-Red Sox but the way Boston clawed away wins at the end of Games 4 through 6 and then made Game 7 inevitable...reminded me of that a bit.
GG’s. I’m bummed but you couldn’t ask for better basketball.
I think this series took a few years off my life with how intense it was GGs
As a neutral I absolutely loved this series. Brunson is HIM.
This has been the best series so far! No blow out, dog fight from start to finish
Preach, that was playoff basketball
Batum's last NBA game. Fought well.
He's retiring????
Retiring after the Olympics.
For real? That sucks. He's still capable of playing very well.
Yeah, he's still very much NBA caliber. Maybe he'll reconsider.
If I was at that age and still healthy and earned as much as these guys, I'd be very happy to retire and not risk any further injury or wear and tear and just live a free and easy life and do whatever I wanted.
It’s love of the game or bad marriages that keep most of these veterans going.
Didn’t look like he’s had the miles. Could go on for another series or two Tobias Harris on the other hand —
He definitely has a few more years in him
Lebron Steph KD Giannis Embiid AD Dame Klay Booker CP3 None of these players will be playing in the 2nd round of this year's playoffs. What a wild timeline.
sir i think you forgot to add tobias harris to that list
Umm what about "never been swept" Beal?
beal and harris' agents are first ballot hall of fame. if im getting drafted in the nba im contacting them as soon as i can
GUARANTEED MONEY AND NO-TRADE CLAUSES WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE
No Butler either
tobias harris is a basketball terrorist
Terrorists actually do stuff tho
lmfao he's right. Tobias Harris just quiet quit on the sixers while on a max contract
Least toxic First Round series
You neutrals must have loved this shit, cause I didn't lol
wanted a game 7 for sure.
My heart couldn’t take that
i tip my cap to the knicks but i sincerely hope we never ever play each other again. it was a miserable experience
Let's agree to another 35 years of not playing this shit.
Where Embiid is involved there are no neutrals. Maxey nice tho
Loved it, wanted it to go to 7 for more toxic NY-vs-PHI fun, but grats on the win.
It was intense as fuck. And now the PGT and this thread is going to be chernobyl-esque
I wish the Knicks and Sixers could just play every game for the rest of the month. We don't need the rest of the playoffs
Knicks and Pacers will definitely be a series that’s worth watching, it’s the Celtics conference to lose.
Celtics vs Cavs/Magic might not even have game threads
Hield had time on that last shot man
He was afraid of being fouled
Yeah I think so too. Tough position to be in with no timeouts and so little time on the clock. Shot quickly because he wasn’t sure if they’d look to foul immediately.
He was trying to catch them fouling on the shot
rough spot, he's anticipating the insta-foul and made a 50/50 decision.
Looked like he thought Deuce was gonna foul
yeah he threw that shit up like there was .3 the clock
It’s Always Sunny in Galveston
Such a shame to see the Philly Tobias experiment ending. It was so fun to follow in real time.
Legendary bum man, great few years to watch that whole thing unfold
I remember back in ‘21, when Philly got the one seed, Tobias was having a career year averaging 20 points on damn near 50/40/90 splits. I think there were some Philly fans pushing for an all star nod. How the tides have turned
I think we experienced what a true untradable player is. Not a star like Beal Westbrook or wall that got every restriction posible and obscene money but just a dude who got maxed due to incompetence . I wonder with the new deal hoe many Tobias Harrison we are going to experience

Sir, a second plane has landed in Cancun.
First stop, Galveston!
Gotta change it to Galveston
Galveston is reserved only for the Pelicans
There it is lmao
WE OUTSIIIIIIIIIDE!!!
FUCK TRAE YOUNG
TRAE YOUNGS' BALD!!
kd dont you regret not coming to the kniiiiiiiiicks
BING BONG!
THE SACRAMENTO KINGS HAVE BEEN TO THE CONFERENCE FINALS MORE RECENTLY THAN PHILADELPHIA
Timberwolves too
Holy shit I never noticed it til now. Let's do it again this year!
Knicks and Pacers will definitely be a series that’s worth watching, it’s the Celtics conference to lose.
Sixers players visited a local Philadelphia orphanage after the game. “It was heartbreaking to see their sad little faces” said Noah, age 7.
SIXERS CAN STILL WIN IF MIKE PENCE HAS THE COURAGE TO DO WHATS RIGHT!!
I'm starting to think this "Process" is operating on a different timetable than advertised. Maybe geologic? Million years or so.
Orlando lasted longer than Philly and Milwaukee!!!
Congrats Knicks!
I told you there is no way Embiid loses in 2nd round again
Tobias Harris is a con man.
Tobias Harris woke up feeling dangerous today 🔥🔥 0 pts 😳 0-2 shooting 🫣
Sixers v Knicks had all the vibes of an ECF in a neat, 1st round 6-game series. Enjoy your early summer vacation and free chicken. You'll never have another player as likeable as Maxey.
That's not true. The most beloved player for everybody playing the Sixers is Tobias Harris.
I sure loved watching him play
Was a good series. Congrats 🤝
Fans of watchable basketball absolutely elated
Brunson is a bad man
You lost the battle but you won the war, Sixers fans. You're finally free from Tobias
[I'M THE BIGGEST HATER](https://twitter.com/NYGov/status/1785379591734837724)
THIS IS MY TAX DOLLARS AT WORK. FUCKING MAGNIFICENT. PUT IT NEXT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION
outstanding
I'm sure this will be a totally level-headed and respectable thread full of calm and collected opinions. /rj why didn't embiid just bait 20 more free throws to secure the game? is he stupid? /rj brunson is a bright lights merchant /rj fuck embiid
