They made sure that he didn't want to stay and offered a last minute max deal when they couldn't find a replacement. At that point it was to late and they received less than what the Mavs gave up for PJ in return for Butler.
Considering that the same story repeated itself with different co-stars in the following years I would put the blame on the 76ers. Throwing Harden, Simmons, Horford and Butler under the bus to protect the GM, coach and most of all Embiid.
This year Tobias Harris is the scapegoat. Trading him won't change a thing because Morey and Embiid are still in charge and whoever replaces him will join the list of scapegoats next season.
