Philadelphia 76ers News On Joel Embiid’s Return, Tyrese Maxey’s Improvements & Tobias Harris’ Slump
What’s up what’s good welcome in you’re watching Philadelphia 76ers now I’m Chase senior coming up on today’s show we’re answering your questions from all of our real ones and our subscribers and addressing your hot takes here on the docket first 76ers Celtics one of the best rivalries in all of sports even
Though there is that old adage a rivalry is only a rivalry if both sides win and for us unfortunately it’s been one-sided because the Boston Celtics have dominated us being our daddies but we can get a dub against the Celtics here inside the walls of chat sports we need
More likes than our Celtics channel so if you hate Boston like me f Boston hit that thumbs up icon and like the video question number one coming in from our Guy Reed should the 76ers think about benching Tobias Harris it’s ugly right now I have to tell you and when Joel
Embiid is out and you’re paying a player the likes of Tobias Harris’s contract and he’s giving you little to nothing it really just exasperates what issues the 76ers are dealing with right now and it’s unfortunate because Toby’s in a contract here he’s looking to get a bag
You can sense that he’s really dealing with the pressure in a negative way and the Sixers need him to step up because they need another option outside of Tyrese maxing you’re paying him damn near $40 million to be that guy but nothing really matters for the Sixers if
Toby is just going to continue to be in the witness protection program eight games played over his last eight in February 15 points 6 and a half rebounds four assists and look at the shooting numbers here 45.5% under 24% from downtown he’s clearly pressing has no confidence and
To answer your question Reed I think that the only option here is to bench Tobias Harris to try to get that confidence back to try to take the pressure off of him he’s shooting just 35% from the field 25% from three since the allstar break scoring 10 points per
Game in 30 minutes per game again when embiid is out and he’s playing that poorly you’re going to continue to slip down the Eastern Conference standings and we’ve seen what has happened with Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors clay far better far more accomplished player than Harris he
Didn’t take the news well from the jump but he’s been awesome coming off the pine for Steve Kerr now you’ve had to make some sacrifices elsewhere Moses Moody is out of the rotation for the Warriors as Steve ker talked about but clay look at the numbers here 18 and a
Half points per game almost 46% from the deck 42% from Beyond The Ark so if someone like Klay Thompson can accept the bench roll and then Ed within that bench roll Tobias Harris certainly can and he can still close games you know I went when I went to Temple University
Fran dpy would always say when people would ask him about the starting five he said I’m not really worried about who your starting five is it’s about your closing Five and Harris Can still close but maybe by bringing him off the bench it just changes psyche a little bit what
Do you think should the Sixers bench Tobias Harris B for bench s for start you got to try to do something right now so I’m going toward the former and benching him SMS as bad as I want Joel MB to be back I think we should rest him
Until the NBA Playoffs it all comes down to how he’s feeling what the rehabilitation process is like and to the degree as far as the percentage that he is in coming off that knee surgery and be is going to need time to ramp up for the playoffs but you can’t risk
Further injury you want to get him acclimated with some of the new pieces that you’re bringing in in a buddy heel and a Kyle Lowry and a campaign you’ve Tinker with this roster a little bit but if he’s not 100% healthy it just makes no sense to bring him back earlier if
He’s 100% full go by the time the playoffs comes around you’re going to have to deal with some of those conditioning problems for sure but he’s your franchise pillar and you’re equipped with the most cap space in the NBA this upcoming off season we already know that Philadelphia is kind of
Looking ahead to next year as compared to this year Philadelphia is still fifth in the Eastern Conference standings four five matchup against the Knicks would be difficult but Joel embiid has actually played very well against the Knicks throughout his postseason career will JoJo be back this season who the heck
Knows I mean you’re talking about a seven-footer here with the issues who has had an issue with this particular injury and if he does is it going to be in the regular season is it going to be in the playoffs I honestly have no idea Justin Fowler who would you want to go
After in free agency Paul George Klay Thompson or Lebron James I think the most impact player for the Sixers timeline would still beat LeBron James crazy enough even though he’s approaching 40 years old you signed him to onee two-year deal I still think he’s playing at an elite level I think he’s a
Little bit better than Paul George um of course I’d love to have LeBron that being said yeah he’s 39 years old outside of that you think about fit LeBron is probably the better player but fit it’s probably Paul George who is the better fit on this team he’s a little
Bit younger still a two-way player and he’s not going to demand the basketball as much as LeBron James so Paul George this year 52 games played he’s been durable which has been an issue 22 points per 45.2% from the floor and almost 40% from three-point range he can
Play off ball on on ball playoff starter playoff closer um and a guy who can really make you pay from all three levels as far as putting the biscuit in the basket is he a better defensive player than LeBron James at this stage yeah he might have the slight Edge on
The defensive thenen all depends if the Clippers resign him and he probably wants to stick with the Los Angeles Clippers it’s going to be interesting to see how that Clippers team fars in the playoffs James Harden has come up short in a lot of playoff games kawh lard Paul
They’ve been injured a lot the Clippers as a whole have never made it to an NBA final so all depends if the Clippers Reign him they have not been willing to pay up yet but with the new Arena set to open here down the pipe they’re going to
Want this nucleus to be together to bring in fans to draw in some eyeballs I’m not as high on Klay Thompson as others might be it depends on how much he’s asking for but play has gone downhill injuries have gone up now the Warriors are bringing him in off the
Bench so you pick star studded list here LeBron Paul George Klay Thompson all just massive members of this generation of NBA basketball let me know down in the chat right now I want to let you know about Factor meals as the great disciple Tyler Jones once said good 50%

It’s also dangling in the description of this video dmoney 6610 how do we feel about a Joel NB trade or how do we how about we trade Joel NB when we get back um let’s set the record straight you don’t trade Joel embiid unless he asks out and I know
That he’s injured this year had to undergo that knee surgery it sucks right because he was averaging 33 points per game before that injury I honestly feel like the NBA putting pressure on embiid and him having to come back worsen that knee injury that he suffered at Golden
State now he’s going to be out for a little while and has been out for a little while but embid compared to the National narrative has actually been like somewhat healthy um and if you do trade him Mory would ask for so much multiple first rounders multiple franchise altering pieces I
Don’t know if any team would be willing to pay up for an older big and Joel embiid is one of the most special players that we’ve ever seen in the history of the NBA considering the size the athleticism the three level scoring ability how he has an array of offensive
Moves in his pocket that replicates Kobe Bryan and MJ like he is one of one and you look at the games played last year 66 year before that 68 year before that 51 that’s pretty good for a big with injury history right and in 2023 2024
The fact that he was averaging 35 and 11 53% from the floor tells me that he’s still in the midst of his Prime and hopefully this knee surgery is able to have him avoid any future injury issues I hope that embiid is a sixer for life
And I hope he also wins a championship here he wins a championship here it would just be icing on the cake and it would be the cherry on top of the Shirley temples that he was said to love early in his career Tyrese George that Darius basley signing is underrated tall
Athletic Wing Defender with some shooting ability and he’s young this is a player with pedigree you know for him to go to OKC he played a lot but the efficiency numbers were awful to start his career you look at what he did with Delaware at the g-league level 20 points
Per game nine rebounds 47% shooting two and a half blocks you’re right though in your assessment of him you know he’s long he’s lanky he can defend he can guard the rim the jump shot just isn’t quite where you’d like it to be for him to get consistent NBA minutes he’s
Certainly athletic and has those traits interesting long-term option still a guy in his early to mid 20s who could be a developmental piece for an organization that I think has done a decent job of developing players Love Me Now 33 Sixers got screwed big at the deadline everyone
Is saying trade with Chicago for Andre Drummond that was a deal Mor had absolutely zero reason for concern that they would be pulling out pause went out of nowhere that’s exactly what happen at the 11th hour with no time for Philadelphia to put together a plan B
You’re you’re right in the sense that a lot of people are ripping Philadelphia for not fortifying back up big at the trade deadline at that point you still didn’t know what the embiid injury timeline was going to be you still had confidence that bball Paul was going to
Be able to play good hoop but we’ve been saying for years that the Sixers have to take up that backup big and have to take backup big I should say a little bit more seriously andreid Drummond good option Dy Howard good option outside of that Philadelphia knowing the injury
History of embiid hasn’t really locked down on that position Andre Drummond would be perfect this team needs size they need rebounding desperately Drummond does that at a really high level I like what bball Paul Paul Reed has done Moomba is pretty much unplayable at this point um it’s hard to
Believe that he was a first round pick coming out of Texas you know the Orlando Magic took a shot on him just because of the athleticism but he’s just not an NBA player really to get consistent rotation minutes Paul Reed February num is not bad like you’re paying him a sizable
Salary eight and a half points per eight and a half rebounds 50% from the floor block and a half that’s pretty damn good but if you had him and Andre Drummond who’s averaging damn near a double double in the month of February giving you that block he’s been one of the best
Rebounders of this generation at the center spot it’s a shame that the Bulls are so poorly run like how can they instill any hope in the fan base that this is going to be the year or that’s going to be the year outside of the Derrik Rose years in which he wasn’t
Hurt before that ACL tear that ironically enough he suffered against Philadelphia they’ve been such a bad organization and poorly run team since Michael Jordan and the short amount of time that Derrick Rose was MVP caliber player Britney Wilson we got some long messages and mailbag components in our
Show I love it spitting that basketball knowledge everybody is looking for the next face of the NBA well folks why not Tyrese Maxi he’s likable he’s young and he’s coming into his own his Market is big and soon the Sixers will have to make a decision on embid might have to
Trade him and get a hall and build around Maxi kind of like Kobe took off after Shaq was gone he became the man I don’t think that you have to trade away one to keep the other I still think that you can have Maxi and embiid especially
With the salary cap being what it is and Max contracts being what they are but I do agree with you with Tyrese Maxi Tyrese Maxi has been a blossoming star he’s gotten better every year that he’s been in the NBA he’s continued to take leaps he he’s continued to grow upon his
Offensive game we wanted to see what he would look like Distributing the basketball and being in a point guard role for Philadelphia he’s tackled that head on he’s been the primary ball handler his Distributing numbers have been pretty good 6.3 assists he’s doubled up on those numbers nearly from what he did
Last year look at the points per game eight 17 and a half 20 26 he becomes an All-Star Reserve this year I think that he already is a superstar in this league and a building black figer organization I’m going to hold off as we noted on the Kobe comparisons because they’re two
Completely different players but Maxi he’s a stud could you imagine if Maxi wins this team a playoff series Without Joel n beid how impressive that would be no telling how good he could be and can be down the road because the sample size of what we’ve seen he’s only continue to
Get better can Maxi win the 76ers a playoff series Without Jo lnb why for yes n for no don’t forget to subscribe I will be in Indianapolis for the NFL scouting combine this upcoming week still videos to come here on the channel not sure if I’ll be on them just wanted
To let yall know but when I come back we got some bullets in the chamber ready to rock

Should the Sixers bench Tobias? Type ‘B’ for Bench or ‘S’ for Start
Will the Sixers draft another Center or a big forward?
The 76ers are going to get ran out of Boston tomorrow night ! No defense and not hitting shots will be a recipe for disaster.
Lebron James he will be available he takes good care of himself if he come here he can win a championship his defense and just being on the same team as embiid people will love this team they will be scared that’s an automatic finals appearance in years so the king 100%
The
Don't talk about Tobias!! You musta forgot he's an assassin scorer! 😂😂
It is clear, we have no shot to get out of the 1st round…. even with Embid… we will be playing Knicks or Bucks and both will smoke us.
Get Bronny and King James for next year
I wish maxey would use his floater more that jumping into ppl gon get him hurt
Tobias should of been gone after Ben Simmons 😪 Before Harden!! 😅😂
B
Bench Harris
Harris coming off the bench won’t make this team better. Don’t want LeBron James on this team they already have a GM. Embiid is not special you act like he got the Sixers to the finals every year he can’t get past the 2nd round.
PG
So, Tobi gets a chance to shine and he comes up small as usual. Guess Embiid gets to see 4 himself that Tobi aint the answer. So, what is Morey gonna do now? Beg PG to play for us??
Where is Kenny Lofton Jr.?
B
Blame good ole Elton Brand for that mess 🤷🏾♂️
Paul George if I had to choose
We definitely don’t need a Lebron James who doesn’t play defense anymore. We play defense at Philly, we don’t stand and watch. Stop bringing him up!
