Sixers SIGNING Kai Jones? π This Is About To Be INSANE π₯
The Sixers are interested in a 6’11 220 lb freak athlete but should they actually sign him the answer to that question is a lot deeper than you may think Perfect what is up everybody RB here welcome back into Philly take with RB you know the drill drop a like on this video subscribe and ring the bell don’t miss any of the coverage as we continue to give you all the news updates and
Break it all down as we go just about a month away from the NBA Playoffs we’ll see how this sixer team fares hopefully we’ll get a Joel em beat update anytime soon I mean they were supposed to re-evaluate him in four weeks it’s been over five weeks it’s been five and a
Half weeks what’s going on but in the absence of Joel embiid obviously the Sixers have had Monumental troubles when it comes to the big man the center position and Paul Reed starting to play a lot better especially coming in off the bench again and he’s shooting the
Ball well and and you know just having some really good stretches of games here but Sixers still have some issues and if Joel em beat is going to be out some more time the main question is are they going to pick up another big man they

Couple couple days ago he says an Eastern Conference playoff Contender oh thank you Shams sets to meet and work out former first round pick Kai Jones who is hopeful for NBA clearance soon to play again now from this update this news uh of course the interaction online just went absolutely Bonkers and there
Have been a lot of people over the last several months in my own comments saying yo we need to sign Kai Jones we need to pick up Kai Jones I wouldn’t be surprised if Daryl Mory went through Sixers Twitter and saw those comments and decided to work them out but in
Response to that I put out this tweet the Sixers are meeting Kai Jones it’s really gotten to that point and you know people are all so frustrated and you know I’ve come to realize if you let Twitter and the replies get to you you’re going to go insane because most
Of these people are 12 year olds or 13y olds with fake profile pictures and they don’t really do the research right they don’t actually stay up the date so I didn’t think this was crazy at all like I know where’re from frustrated I know we’re desperate but we have gotten to
The point where we’re working out Kai Jones from a basketball standpoint it makes a ton of sense but does anybody think about looking up why this guy was cut and why he hasn’t played a game yet this year I’m not saying I want them or I don’t but there are some pretty big
Ifs that stand in the way and we’ll get to that more but uh you know just some of these comments here right like this guy bro he is a bucket what is the complaining about other than being a bit ins saying it’s not that bad right and
There’s a couple more in here this one this could be good bro but it isn’t that bad love you RB but come on have a little faith in your team they want us to have faith when this team is struggling to get wins they finally got
A w yesterday and they did it with 79 points I mean come on man come on I mean people have to get a little bit realistic of where the Sixers are at right now and it is so damn frustrating I agree with you 100% but you have to
Look at this from a level standpoint but anyway why did I say this why why did I say and why did that one comment say he’s a little bit insane all right let’s talk about what happened with Kai Jones Okay so this was last year or actually
In the off season the Hornets decided to wave former first round pick Kai Jones after he requested a trade following a series of social media posts that led him to being ruled out indefinitely for the upcoming season so he was ruled out indefinitely and man I do have to say
That I feel for the Hornets to be honest they have had some young former first round picks and young players get themselves into legal trouble probably altered the entire direction of their franchise you think about James book Knight who was arrested I believe multiple times miles Bridges I’m not
Even going there on that one and then now Kai Jones but Kai Jones requested his own trade I remember he went on Twitter and requested his own trade everybody’s like is this guy okay what’s going on Charlotte announced the move two days after Jones requested a trade
On X he post posted his own trade Hornet chose to rule out Jones inde defitely in September after he made bizarre posts on social media including an incoherent Instagram live video where he references drug use and doubts that he will be traded so let’s go ahead and take a look
At this Instagram let’s actually take a look at it okay matter of fact Sports Center posted it and they said Kai Jones went live and said he doesn’t think he’s going to be traded anytime soon let’s just listen to a quick snippet of this okay
I’m in a go day I had to do drug or something no look I’m not laughing at him look in all seriousness I hope that this guy is getting the help he needs he hasn’t played all season I hope he’s got good people in his Circle I hope the Hornets
I hope the NBA is doing things to help this guy out I really hope he’s getting the help he needs but if the Sixers were to sign this guy and say he had a breakdown or he you know went off went chaotic psychotic right away do you know
How bad of a look that would be on the Sixers but it’s gotten so bad that they need another big man that they’re trying to sign Kai Jones again from the basketball standpoint it makes perfect sense did you hear him he is definitely on something or he was and I hope he’s
Getting better but I mean this is almost borderline crazy if we’re being honest let’s just be honest with it here’s Kai jones’ stats all right played two seasons first year he average three minutes per game in his rookie year his second year he averaged 12 minutes per
Game he was averaging 3.4 points per game he was shooting 211% from Deep 2.7 rebounds per game it sound like this guy was setting the world on fire like he was a top player in the league you know and here’s his contract as you can see
Uh he’s got dead cap here for $3 million he’s on a rookie contract but a former first round pick two years into his career gets cut and you know actually just kind of went off on a tangent and they had no other choice so look if you
Do your due diligence if you’re out there and they’re meeting with him and working him out and he’s changed and he’s gotten better yes this would be great because Kai Jones is an athletic freak he would be probably one of the best finishers on the team right off the
Rip he’s a defensive versatile monster right he can guard probably three positions at least because he’s a pretty good Wing Defender now he does have some questions when you get down inside the paint because he’s really not that strong even though he’s 220 lbs you know
His frame could be a a little more stable in that way but you know he’s quick he’s fun he can get out in transition he’s going to throw down all kinds of crazy dunks and really he’s just going to be probably a better big man option than Mo Bamba right I mean at
This point almost anybody is better than what we have gotten or seen out of Mo Bamba maybe Kai Jones could even play a little bit of the four right and if he continues to work on that shot right maybe that could help as well you look
For this move into the future if he can get right I mean this would be be really awesome right he’d probably have blue and red hair and you know he he just seems like a really high energy electric type of player so he could be another
Body and I would not be opposed at all to bringing him in and seeing what he could do but again that’s a big if if he can clean up whatever we saw in that Instagram video whatever we saw out of him for essentially the past six months
If he has gotten help and he’s worked on himself which again I I feel like the NBA and even you know Sports Center all these people you know should be doing that rather than posting these clips online but you know if he does get the treatment that he needs yeah he’d be
Really cool it’d be nice to see him get his career back on track and the Sixers could definitely use it but at the end of the day will it make a difference can the Sixers stay afloat can they keep hanging on without Joel andb they have a really tough schedule coming up they
Need every bit of help they can get and it looks to me like the Sixers are getting a little bit desperate watching what they are throwing out there on a a nightly basis so those are all my thoughts would you take Kai Jones on the team look I I believe people deserve
Second Chances in in multiple ways and you know again I hope he is getting clean I hope things are going well but it’s unfortunate that he even put himself in this situation and it is unfortunate that this has to even be a question because I I do think he can
Make an impact on the scene but there is a reason that he has been sitting home the entire year and has not played a single NBA game those are my thoughts give me yours down below appreciate everybody tuning in be sure to like comment subscribe that being said I’ll
Catch you on the next one Peace

That means Council gone.
Strong Yes
We could actually use K. Jones and maybe Porter Jr. They can't be any worse than what we already have,
I like your content and I enjoy some of it but man sometimes you complain way too much! Respectfully!
It was K2,,,damn itππππππππ
I know uber divers who are bettter than Pj Tucker and Tobias. So yes signing this guy should be a breeze.
Sign k. Jones
The highlights speak for themselves. Think our locker room would be a perfect fit for Kai.
Develop him he could be a π gem π β¨οΈ for the future. Plus we are Tankiππ . Get Kai Jones and Tony Bradley. Drop Roco or Bamba π’or both
RB you got some good points why the Sixers shouldnβt rush into signing this guy without doing a thorough check on him.
Reminds me of a baby Shawn kemp
He high as fuck
Nurse maybe able to turn him around. Low dollars- low loss???
Buddy and Kai=π§πΈπ§πΈπ§πΈπ§πΈ 242 lets goooooooooππΎππΎππΎππΎπ§πΈπ§πΈπ§πΈπ§πΈ
Stop saying crap about the sixers.Do you guys have any idea what this team has gonw through.Then just dont open your mouth . Miami heat, Miami princess.
Should the Sixers sign Kai Jones? β¬οΈ
He's speaking in his dialect in English
He complaints a lot, look at B-Ball Paul for the money hell π no. He's 130 now.
Have u seen this kid lately? When mfs go bald theyβre goin thru a transition in life. Give him a chance
He needed vets. We go plenty
Youβre tripping RB! I fw you heavy but you need to ease up a little. Kai is a 23 year old kid that was unfortunately drafted to a dysfunctional hornets team & let the losing environment get to him. Terry & Kelly both gave us a perspective playing there & it sounds way more crazy then that video. I like bball a lot but heβs to undersized to play the 5 for 30 minutes a night! Kai has size, speed & athleticism we need all of that. Ive seen Buddy trip over his words numerous times because of the Bahamas accent Kai does the same thingβ¦ Meet with the kid & if he seems stable & motivated why not bring him in to finish off this season? He has plenty of mentors here & id take bro with open arms!
Sixers can temporarily hire Jones. If does great, then proceed!
Ideally nick nurse and the fact that the 76ers are contenders would help reign kais off court actions in like the bulls with rodman. Even if not id take his insanity over blown by bamba at this point, i cant watch that guy anymore
Hes been playing well inchina too not that it means much but he has been playing
Kai Jones is trash…
Kai Jones did an interview about 3 months ago here and he seemed pretty coherent https://youtu.be/6gxuNQbhcSU?si=4bd9k_BQSA8-EDg-
A lot of junk players – Sixers going No Where
Whatβs the point of signing him? He wonβt get any minutes just like Ricky Council.
@RB, he was barely getting time. He can't "set the world on fire" from the bench. Charlotte isn't us. He moves fast enough to be a 4.
Sixers Daryl the fans want the best Players out there π₯π₯π₯
