Great culture combined with talent leads to NBA titles. While it improved under Doc Rivers, the 76ers still have work to do in building a championship-caliber culture. Devon Givens and Keith Pompey talk about and how the pressure is both Joel Embiid and Daryl Morey.

Joel needs to get better conditioning to stop running out of gas so much. Morey built this Harden mess. If he can't fix it he should be gone. We could have had Haliburton for been and Buddy Hield.that would have been a present and future move. He turned ot down for Harden. That may be our downfall if Harden leave or we sign him for 4 years
Culture is like the fanbase toxic and unsupportive worst type of fans
If Joel Embiid isn't gonna take some accountability, grow up and get in the deep low-post – – at least occasionally – – then it'd be best for the franchise to trade him when the best deal presents itself, ASAP.
I mean its always someone 🤷 if not Doc its morey, if not him its harden if not harden its embiid or the roll players. Its just excuse after excuse. Feels like well never all be on the samw page.
Joel time is coming!! Jokic drafted 2014 7th season Giannis drafted 2013 9th season, Embiid drafted 2014 6th season missed 2seasons..work on the lower body this summer will be a beast again & break postseason failure
I don’t know why the nba world thinks that Darryl morey is some great GM. Him getting harden in Houston put his name out there. Besides that he’s just a regular.
Embiid 41 games. 1 rest 1 play…Fresh directly to PO

We still building a culture from the Brett Brown days.
Pompey make to much money to be having these video issues. Come on guys
There are no short cuts to winning championships. Occasionally a team can get lucky but I don’t bet on luck. Philadelphia rather than developing players according to what they can be maximised on, took on a path of big game hunting or try win with a guy who was drafted injured and then thought the time frame was closing. The mess they are in now is the result of trying to buy a championship
I'd like to thank both of you for providing level headed sixer talk. Took me too long to find you guys lol
76ers 3 biggest issues are accountability for the players, the evaluation of talent and the development of talent. when Doc river was first hired, he stated players would play out of their comfort zone. It didn't not happen (see Ben). Wouldn't Jayson Tatum, Mikal Bridges and Jimmy Butler look good on this team right now. The 76ers had a chance for each. Didn't Haywood Highsmith, Christian Woods and Isaiah Joe play for the 76ers? They are role players, however better player development they might still be on the 76ers.
She's still a fine ass Puerto Rican Woman!!!!
Joel is a second round champion no wait a min he lost the second round
-Hope Sixers get the right coach
-Depth Chart Ideas Of Players I Want Back
PG/SG Harden Replacement- Milton- McClung
– Sign & trade Harden perhaps though
– Maybe resign Milton
– resign McClung to be 3rd string
PG/SG Maxey- Melton- Springer
-Maxey can be PG or SG
– Springer likely included in a trade
SF New Starter- McDaniels- Louis King
-Trade Tobias & Korkmaz
– If House opts in maybe trade House too
resign McDanielsis he starter or reserve– resign King to be 3rd string
PF New Starter- Tucker/Niang
-Trade Tucker or Tucker comes off bench
– Maybe resign Niang
C Embiid- Reed
– resign Reed
– if Harrell opts in trade Harrell
I'm really interested in Sixers 3rd String Unit
– especially since they don't have much draft picks in the next few years
– maybe get 3rd string guys with potential
– plus 2 new 2way contract
PG/SG- resign McClung & hope he makes the 15 man roster
SF- resign Louis King & hope he makes the 15 man roster
Guard- I also like Jared Butler to develop
Other Free Agent Forwards
Bates Diopbut he's looking for 2nd string team spot most likely not 3rd stringMomadi DiaketeI really want sixers to sign him & develop him as a stretch 4/PFDarius Bazleyprobably meant for 2nd string not 3rd stringStanley Johnsonalso probably meant for 2nd string not 3rd string– there are other player but I can't remember
Somebody tell Keith that its not all about Embiid guys have to make shots. Embiid averaging 30+ is nice, but the other team collapsed the paint leaving guys wide I opened and they missed shots. It's not on Embiid. His take on the Sixers in the playoffs is stupid here.
People that aren't concerned with the regular season are casual fans. I bet they would've rather had game 7 at home instead of in Boston. Smh
All the time, champion team needs at least 3 solid veteran players playing 5years together.
I would like to apply for the sixers Talent scouting job, if that's even a thing. I think I would be a great candidate to fill that role and position. Because of my eye for talent and undying loyalty to my city and it's success. I would love to responsible for bringing unsigned talent to the team for m where ever it may be hiding…
I was wrong bc these 2 guys are on 2way contracts already
– Jared Butler & Mamadi Diakete
– i like players on the 3rd string unit that have potential bc sixers dont have many upcoming draft picks
– resign McClung & Louis King & hope they make the 15 man roster
– sign 2 new 2way contract guys
Depth Chart Of Players I Want Back
– sign & trade Harden to get something back
– or just let Harden walk
– trade Tobias, Tucker, Korkmaz, Harrell if he opts in, House if he opts in
– resign McDaniels, Reed, Milton, Niang, McClung, and Louis King
GUARD- Harden Replacement, Milton, McClung
GUARD- Maxey, Melton, Springer but might lose Springer in 1 of the trades
SF- New Starter, McDaniels which McDaniels could be a starter, Louis King
PF- New Starter, Niang
C- Embiid, Reed
Here Are Some New Ideas For Sixers Starters Only
– lets say sixers let Harden Walk
– get Buddy Hield from Tobias trade give or take different players in trades
– resign McDanield to start
– in another trade ti get new Power Forward or sign a new Power Forward
PG Maxey
SG Buddy Hield
SF McDaniels
PF New Starter
– by trade or sign a free agent
– i want Tucker traded or Tucker comes off bench
C Embiid
