  1. No need to rush? Come on keith, get this man off the team asap. He doesn't want to be here. LET HIM GO.

  2. Trade James harden ASAP we don't need him to ruin this team especially to take the ball away from maxey…
    Bye Felisha

  3. A question basketball IQ good points, Tyrese Maxey Is improving yes, the season has just begun and they're showing good possibilities. Because of all the drama with James Harden Is it wise to bring him back for fear of messing up chemistry, great point. But the reality is unless the team as gets better, to compete against everyone else especially the West you're going to need every single person you can muster up will have to be on the A game. So a big IF, James Harden Is willing to come back,Yes , I understand bench him, to punish him to let him know he's not in charge, also to not mess up the chemistry, understandable 👌. But until he's actually traded, why make things any worse. In spite of everything if Nick Nurse the coach can gradually put him in where he fits in and he begins to show up in practice first, and the coach See's a drastic change in his attitude until he's traded we need all we can get until either the players that we have improves, or a trade is done. It's about Winning, and to some degree putting feelings aside. After all he is the one who Has to SHOW. We All want the same thing, and all We can do is speculate 🤔. Also if James is willing while he's here to continue being a mentor and supporting cast for Tyrese Maxey it would be a positive. Again James knows exactly how Philadelphia feels about everything and he has to deal with that. At the end of the day good chemistry could change of things,

  4. They won’t get out of the 2nd round with just Maxey n Embiid. They will need a loaded lineup like the rest of the elite. Harden needs to come back.

  5. If Harden comes back, Melton might goto the bench also which makes us that much stronger.

  6. You don't want to rush him back. He needs to play to get a good feel of the game he will be rusty. But he will play in the next game.

  7. The problem with James is… where does he play? How does he play, he wanted to return to Houston Harden style last year and that’s not how the Sixers are playing now? Will he quit on you, he’s done it in the past when he didn’t get his way?

  8. Leave Harden on the bench, I think he sold us out and sabotaged our series against the Celtics, he shoots the lights out in game 1 without Embiid then couldn't step up after that especially when it mattered, I don't trust him, leave him on the bench and keep moving on 💯

  9. My only issue with Kelly coming off the bench is – he may not like it and see himself as more if a starter and May therefore want to go elsewhere next season. I do think he’s fine with whatever roles he given this season but next season may be looking to start and maybe he can because PJ might be gone or even retired next year and Tobias may or may not be here either. I also think in the last game he didn’t get the ball as much which was a bit of an issue and that’s why he wasn’t shooting the ball well – he was just shooting what he was given and previously got better looks and this can become an issue as a bench player especially if someone like melton is stale. I think it’ll be interesting to see melton and Oubre play together off the bench though when harden comes back. Id like to see more of Oubre and maxey together – I think they play well together. I think with Joel in; he dominates the ball a lot more but Kelly is the best cutter we have and can shoot the 3 when Joel is double teamed. I see melton; tucker and Oubre as fluid right now.
