According to everyone, the vibrations are good this season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Of course, there are questions – Joel Embiid and Paul George remain outside with uncertain timing After out of season surgery and Jered McCain is out for a few weeks with a torn thumb ligament, but the feeling of a team without high external expectations is good.

It is very different from last season.

In a story that discussed how vibrations went south so quickly to Philly last season, Yaron Weitzman of the ringtone He says there were frustrations with Joel Embiid and his vague katterars of injury and coaches were not sure that the star would play at night per night, and played only 19 games-but things worsened after the details of the only meeting of a player in November became public.

“The organization was built around a boy who does not trust anyone and mostly holds himself for himself,” said a former Sixers staff. When EMBIID appeared in just 19 games last season, that isolation created organizational chaos …

The tension intensified after a meeting of the November players only was leaked to Shams Charania of Espn, with the cross -section directed to EMBIID that becomes public. The violation of the damaged changing rooms trusts and seemed to hit EMBIID in a more significant way.

“The people left that night feeling like if they had turned a corner. Everyone promised to keep the details at the house. And then they wake up and all the details are out,” said a person close to a player.

“Everything created a dysfunction environment,” said an associate of a Sixers player.

Maybe a player spoke to Charania. Perhaps a player detailed the meeting to his agent, who spoke to Charania. However it happened, nobody seems to contest the details of the relationship, but rather that it has come out. He led to even more distrust with Embiid and his field.

Philadelphia is trying to put it behind them, get the right vibrations and their stars on the pitch with a young and promising Backcourt – Tyrese Maxey, Vj Edgecombe, McCain and Quentin Grimes – and make a push at an oriental conference. It is a training field, but so far the vibrations are still good.

We will see how those vibrations hold when the inevitable struggles that come to each team hit the Sixers in this season. I hope it goes better than last season.
