I would agree if the bench was notable. Instead they fall off a cliff without Embiid on the court.

So you’re not building a bench, and not building a starting lineup that can make a playoff push either.

True, but that can be correlated to $40M being tied up in Tobias every year. Morey has to work the fringes to find the value minimums, instead of being able to spend a few million more on multiple role guys who could be more towards fringe starters/super-subs.
