Why is Maxey getting a complete pass for the NYK series? Maxey was bad.
It’s so strange that the talking points are Joel Joel Joel.
Don’t say “irregardless”!
I would trade Paul George for Jimmy Butler Butler only has one year left and he’s injured. Try and get Melton back. And then see if you or see if you can swap packs we got the 11th they get the 22nd.
Why do Embiid get all the blame
Somebody had to pay for getting rid on McCain
For me it's been the same thing for years. There's no consistent shooting. There's nobody on this team that can get you a bucket if you need it. Example: PG on fire 🔥 in the 1st quarter and then can't hit anything.
If there's a possibility of a trade PG might be the best option. At least he gives you some value over Embiid. An often injured wing man over an often injured center.
Honestly NYK were the better team plain and simple. As Legs said better bench. Hoped 76ers could steal 1 game but didn't happen. Legs called it no bench starters maxed out especially going into a 2nd series
I don’t want to give up draft capital to trade PG or Embiid, I would rather just keep them. We can’t get better with draft picks. Having cap space is nice but who wants to play here. I would rather build through the draft and have those cost controlled contracts.
Embiid is catching most of the heat because ppl feel like he's receiving generational wealth foe essentially doing squat.Hes the face of the process and the process friggin sucks ass!
What is the difference between a president of basketball operations and a general manager?
Aren’t they both the same? Very high paying positions with slightly different responsibilities that could easily be bundled up with one person?
What this team seems to be missing is a defined team culture that basketball fans diehard or casual could easily understand.
As well as a team style of play that basketball fans diehard or casual can easily understand.
This is what I've been saying since drafting V.j. Focus on catering to our core (even though I think Maxey is more suited to be a number 2 option). Get someone under the age of 30 to start or at least get significant playing time in our front court who can hustle and get back on defense. Draft a player like Veesaar from my Tarheels to develop as a third option ( in my opinion, his NBA comp is prime Vucevic, but he's taller). Have Embiid get in the corner. Have Paul George become more of a willing passer.
Die hard Knicks fan of 33 years here. It was an absolute pleasure to singlehandedly dismantle your entire franchise, starting from the very top. Enjoy Cancun fellas 👋🏾🟠🔵
Why is Elton Brand not fired also?
They have no bench, playing guys 40 mins a game just ain’t going to cut it. Not having back up centers that can play to relieve Embiid did not work. You still putting a load on Embiid to carry and he will always be your escape goat.
Dumbest Morey Move was extending Joel Embiid…that was dumb as Fack
Im not a fan of the joel disrespect! He just came back from surgery but people will give maxey a pass cuz he was getting double teamed smh he played horrible! Oubre missed wide open shots, vj airballed multiple 3's Pg disappeared, and grimes was terrible but yall blame embiid?? 1 man doesnt win games thats why its a team sport
They fired doc rivers and he had a better record than nurse. Doc dealt with the same issues as nick
Tim Legler is lying 🤥 Morey convinced Harris to extend Embiid knowing his injury history & going to 9 doctors. He chose on giving a past his prime star at 35 a 4 year max deal. Morey philosophy is empty roster spots, Houston retreads as bench players & keeping Lowry at 40 as a non playable bench player to masquerade as a coach. Legs stop the nonsense in defending this math geek who knows ZERO about basketball.
Mr. Legler ,please put your name in the box for the job…just don’t mention Morey’s name anymore.
Why is JOEL getting all the blame they have no bench the starting 5 play too many minutes .
Game 2 against the Knicks was the deciding the factor in the series cause it showed the lack of depth the Sixers had, which was probably a big reason Morey was fired, deservingly so
pay these guys per game. period! what other profession lets you get paid the same amount of money to sit out for months and weeks at a time? Too much money fronted with no guarantee of return.
Forget the names on the roster. The front office created this mess. Morey, Harris, Brand, Nurse. Three are still here.
Sixers need to catch up with the rest of the league. Longer & athletic players
