There's an interesting article about the Sixers in The Athletic.

Among other things, there's some talk that the Sixers might let Brett Brown go. I dint think it will happen, but the Wolves should wait on their head coaching decision until we know Brown's status. If the Sixers let him go, Rosas should open up Taylor's bank account and hire him.

Here are post playoff exit interview quotes from Butler and Harris in the article:

Jimmy Butler: "Knock on wood, hopefully I'll get a max contract wherever I choose to go. You're talking four-year or five-year (deal), that's enough money anyways. I think I still have more than enough money now from my first deal. I'm not worried about (it)."

Tobias Harris: "There's only so many players that are super steady in the NBA, let's just be upfront with that. For me, honestly, style of play is a huge thing. Culture. A chance to be able to win. Just being in the playoffs here and getting that feeling and seeing how bad that lost felt, obviously is somewhere for me to get back to, (and) like I said before, pushing hard to go further than that. But those are just two things off the top."

It will be interesting how the offseason plays out for them. Is Tobias Harris a free agent too?

And Redick and TJ McConnell. If everyone left they would have some big holes to fill but they would also have a lot of cap space too and wide open starting spots. They do also have a couple young guys in Shake Milton and Zhire Smith that could factor into the roster this year. I know they we're really high on Smith.

I thought it wasn't all about the money for Jimmy. As long as it's a max, it's not all about the money.

lol. I found Butler's quote pretty amusing.
