ESPN’s Alan Hahn wonders which star Sixers are committed to for future

Mike D’Antoni’s still out there as we know. I mean, that’s all part of the Houston setup that they have with James Harden and Daryl Morey. So there’s options that you could go to and you can feel pretty good about to make that change. You can’t really move on from James Harden and replace his production and say, well, we’ll be fine. We’ll stay championship contending teams if we let him walk because you don’t really have the ability to go out and get somebody of that level. Can you get Damian Lillard? Well, he’s not technically—he’s not available. So you don’t know if you can get him who else in the league? Are you gonna get Kyrie (Irving)? Like who you getting? A Chris Paul? So there’s a lot of questions that you have to ask about that and you had to make a decision between one or the other because clearly they weren’t going to coexist and so the easy move was to move on from Doc Rivers, but the fact that they didn’t talk to Joel Embiid before making this decision, and did it after, that is alarming to me, because that kind of suggests—that leads me to wonder, are you changing how you feel about Joel Embiid? Does that kind of give me a peek behind the curtain of how you really feel about an MVP? Who was supposed to be your franchise player, your franchise player you probably will go to and ask them. What do you think? Or we want to do this. How would you react to this? They didn’t do any of that. All Daryl Morey said was, we’ve got to convince him whoever we hire next is the right move. There’s no convincing that. Once you already told the franchise player that we’re gonna do a move without you involved in it, you just told the franchise player, you’re not our franchise player.
