We got Tmax
There's nothing else on our team that's part of the future. We have some good pieces to get us a ring if the stars and the moon connect together.. we got to get rid of Joey knees his salary is killing us the next 3 years
I mean don't expect much from the year. There are more he has to dump Joey knees and Paul George contract… We got rid of that
We need Nick nurse.. to actually be a God and get rid of these bulshit contracts that hold us back.. otherwise we could lose everything
Tmax!!!
Maxey a great second lead gaurd I feel like we need a real pg to ruin the offense and we'll be better
I don’t think Maxey or VJ are point guard I think McCain and Grimes are better ball handlers. We need a real point guard not Lowery.
RB you do a great job breaking down the video’s.
It's crazy how many people don't understand what playmaking is. Playmaking is both your ability to score and your ability to set other people up to score. It includes points and assists, as well as untangibles like gravity.
From a purely playmaking perspective, indeed is a better playmaker than yokich because he has more gravity and is better at scoring. At least when he's healthy.
I don't know how so many keep missing this: Nick Nurse has no offensive strategy, no offensive plays – It's all iso. Maxey's numbers went down because he's had no help and teams just key on him and he's not as good as Embiid. Sure, a true point guard would help but even more importantly that player would need to play d and be able to shoot. If VJ can shoot or not is the only thing that matters regarding him. Unless Embiid is healthy, what Maxey really needs is a another player who is also great at basketball. Sixers need to do whatever they can to see if they can trade PG for just getting off the contract. It's not looking good for the Sixers. Only chance they have is Embiid being healthy to cover over Nurse's and Morey's mess. Everybody wanted VJ thinking the Sixers are just a role player away or something. That's only true if Embiid is healthy. Without Embiid, Maxey needed Sixers to take a chance on an Ace Bailey.
Who's the facilitator in the championship Celtics?
Playmaking are evenly spread out to at least 3 4 competent rotation players. You keep zooming into one person and think playmaking should live and die with one guard.
Youdon't know shit about ball
Boy oh boy
Great video
If we can get grimes and McCain back I can see us being a better team than last year I am not even thinking about embiid and George I count them out already if they come back Great but I doubt it
There’s nothing to feel about VJ the evidence is in front of our eyes A guy who started playing basketball at 14 years old. “alike Embiid” just a few years ago!!! He’s a 0–100 guy. The dude can rattle off points in seconds. Closest players to VJ “all time” is DR.J. Russell Westbrook. Ja Morant. Anthony Edwards. There’s not a whole lot of players with their type of Athleticism that’s ever played the game. The Kid is going to be Special. I think he’s going to be a Super Star. Not Star. Super Star
KELLY HAS TO GOOOOOOO!!!!
10:01 he was the assist leader that year
VJ is 8-8 from the foul line as well through the first 2 games which is a huge sign that his shot is actually improved and he is confident in it.
I also like what I saw from Broome last game and even Drummond having 11 rebounds in 16 minutes tells us that he legit took the off season serious, lost weight, and is giving us the rebound production we expected from him.
5:36 Notice VJ catches it right in his shooters pocket with his feet set and goes right up with it with great form as he does not dip the ball after catching it.
I think another guard is the absolute last thing we need.
I think you are underselling how well McCain can play natural PG, along with Grimes and VJ ability to play on ball next to Maxey off ball.
VJ especially as they said he can be a guy who becomes a lead guard that guard SFs on defense.
And I do think we saw glimpse of that in first 2 games as height was not an issue with wings because of his athleticism and he was making great passes and all the right reads.
Bona better knock it TF off with these 1 rebound games..Did it also while playing for Turkey..
They might have to try PG at the Point Forward spot..His movement is limited anyway and he can definitely still hit the open jumper and faciliate the offense
11:32 Did you say Walker is just a good basketball player? I'm sold 🤔 Been calling for some of those on the Sixers for the past 6 years.
I agree with your point of point guard, we need another facilitator preferable a bigger guard. Wish he went and got lonzo or giddy
I just get a bad feeling regarding PG n Embiid, that it's gonna be more of the same as last year. I hope I'm wrong but nothing that his been said thus far offers much hope… 🫤
When McCain gets healthy, I would expect for them to condition him into that primary PG playmaker role, and Maxey can play his original one beside him
The roster is set, likely until at least Dec 15.
We already know that ownership doesn't want to pay any Luxury Taxes, so lets hear a trade that would satisfy all sides?
The 15th roster spot will likely go to Dom Barlow.
In the meantime, we have Watford who is essentially a point forward. And we have Grimes who will be a backup PG.
Lets first see how they do. Then, come mid-December, when McCain should be working his way back and will be asked to be a pass-first PG at times.
Nurse/Morey already chose to go with Lowry as the pass first PG for emergencies.
I don't see any viable move and certainly not now. Malcolm Brogdon would have been ideal, in lieu of Lowry, but that ship has sailed.
Nurse would love to have Jeff Dowtin back as a 2-Way, but he is no longer eligible. There may be another Dowtin around the league who would be a 2-Way that Nurse would trust.
NO bro! They super good with 4 VERY TALENTED GUARDS ….
( they can build chemistry! and be MOST DYNAMIC in the NBA )
FUN TO WATCH THIS develop bro!
not likely embiid or Pg gonna get much on court time.
GOTTA GO WITH YOUTH …
EBONA and like u say hopefully a power frwd arises!
SIXER FAN since Hal Greer , Billy C days … from PHILIPPINES now.
Can't see us acquiring anything more than a backup journeyman pure PG. But how many minutes could he even get, especially after McCain's return? Maxey/Grimes are combo guards, and each can distribute. We'll have to make do with that for now. But I wouldn't mind an upgrade over
Lowry, whose sentimental signing by a supposedly shrewd operator like Morey still galls me.
McCain a great point guard, we need a Ben Simmons type player someone that’s tall can shoot pass T Watford should be that but idk
Westbrook? I'm kinda kidding but then again he's a high assist guy and on a team where you don't know if guys can stay healthy he's going to play all 82 if he can
Funny how vj was the consolation prize just a few months ago. Like it never happened…
Ben Simmons
