    The coaching staff doesn't seem to be capable of the concept of discovery even when it plays out right in front of their eyes.

    I am still STUNNED that after the Warriors win without Harden where we started the big front court (Capela/Faried/Tucker), MDA inexplicably abandoned that within a week without any explanation.

    When we stupidly play Faried at center, it's a total disaster. DREB% for those rotations are atrocious, one even under 60%!

    On the other hand, when Faried is playing PF paired up with Capela, our net rating is +18.7 with a DREB% of 76.8% (would be #1 in the league). When Faried is paired up with Nene, we have a ridiculous net rating of +27.4 and a DREB% of 80%!

    These are small samples obviously, but you'd think an observant coaching staff would keep trying something that seemed to be working.

    House, Faried and rivers may demand 2 or 3 years contracts. They walk in July if MDA gives them a lot of minutes.
    In summer 2020, 5 players salaries are 126 million (if Gordon gets extension). Add 6 million for House, where is tax room for 9 remaining roster spots?

    In summer 2020, 4 players salaries for 76ers are 126 million.
