    The way Nurse answered the James Harden question feels like he doesn't care weather he comes back or not

  5. S H

    I think having James back would be great bc whether the Sixers nation wants to admit it or not, Harden helped win 2 games single-handedly and Embiid was the one who failed to step up

  6. pete timchal

    He's licking his chops knowing he's got Embid, Maxie, Reed, Springer, Melton, McDaniels if signed. G leauge team has some talent also. Glen played old slow guys when he should have played Reed, McDaniels and Springer way more minutes. Just these three players next to Embid and Maxie make a sold team with a high ceiling.

  7. Badlandz

    Our team is better when we move the ball. When embiid shoots every shot we’re not good. Simple

  11. K I

    Nick Nurse saying it was an easy decision to join the Sixers over the teams is hilarious considering he wasn’t a finalist nor offered any other job other than the Sixers

  16. Scott Boswell

    I like what I hear so far! On his side, I want to see what his coaching staff looks like. For Morley, after seeing what Miami has done with undrafted players, I would LOVE to see who we bring in after the draft and how we better develop who we have already! Except for Maxxey, Doc Rivers didn't even look to our rookies and younger players to develop.

    Sixers Need 3 New Starters
    1. Guard- Harden Replacement after letting Harden walk
    2. SF- Tobias Replacement after trading Tobias
    3. PF- Tucker Replacement after Trading Tucker or bringing Tucket off the God Darn Bench bc im done watching Tucker as a Starter bc he aint no God Darn Starter no more
    – im sold on 2 of the starters
    1. PG- VanVleet replaces Harden
    2. PF- CHRISTIAN WOOD replaces Tucker as Starter
    3. SF- resign McDaniels to start or get starter from Tobias trade like DeRozen or someone else & McDaniels comes off the bench to develop as future starting SF
    – lets go!!!!!
    – Wood is so much better than Tucker lets get real!!!!!!

  20. Charles

    I made a mistake about Harden Replacement at the Guard spot
    – im not sold on VanVleet yet
    – its got to be VanVleet or Gary Trent Jr. Or Buddy Hield from Tobias trade
    – If Nurse wants Maxey to be the Point Guard then sixers should sign Trent if Trent opts out of Player option or get Buddy Hield from Tobias trade
    – or if Nurse wants Maxey to be secondary ball handler then sixers should sign VanVleet if VanVleet opts out of player option

  21. Justin Joseph

    On your harden taken you really should watch him in Houston. Harden wanted to play with more pace and not play in such a predictable stagnant offense. The reason he led the league in iso is because they opened with pick and roll and he always got matched up with the weakest defender. So to address your concern playing in nurse offense is not a problem at all……. You would think the fans would noticed the difference in pace with and without embid.

  22. SPORTS HULK

    RB we need to keep Harden here is why: He is talented, you don't let talent walk away and get nothing for it. We can sign him and trade him later if we have to. I know it's expensive to keep him but it's our best chance to win. let's keep harden and trade away Tobias instead

  23. FaustOutLoud

    I am excited for this season just gotta get ridcof the entire bench like Korkmaz and Niang nd shake and replace them with real 3 and D players and replace Tobias with a real 4th starter and will be fine

  25. sampson ireman

    Philly fans are so funny..

    Nick Nurse as the Raps coach "he is the worst coach in the league. He is a whiner an I hate him"

    Nick Nurse as a Sixer coach " I really love what he will bring to the team. He is going to get the best out of Embiid"

  26. Christian Meneses

    As a raptor fan if nick nurse stays as coach for 3 plus years tyrese maxey will be a elite playmaker. Go look at pascal siakam playmaking 2019-20 the championship year then look at him now. THE DIFFERENCE IS GLARING, pascal playmaking developed so much he was playing pg when fred was of the floor.

    2 Depth Chart Ideas
    – let's say Harden walks
    – sixers need 3 new Starters at Guard/SF/PF
    – trade Tobias to get 1 starter
    – buyout Korkmaz's contract
    – Harrell & House opt in but sixers aren't able to trade them
    – Tucker will now come off the bench
    – resign McDaniels, Reed, McClung & Louis King
    – sixers lose Milton & Niang
    1. Depth Chart After Tobias trade gets sixers Buddy Hield
    PG Maxey, need veteran backup PG, McClung
    SG Hield, Melton, Springer (might lose Springer in Tobias trade)
    SF McDaniels, House, King
    PF Sign Christian Wood, Tucker
    C Embiid, Reed, Harrell
    2. Depth Chart after Tobias trade gets sixers DeMarr DeRozan
    PG Sign Fred VanVleet, need veteran backup PG, McClung
    SG Maxey, Melton, Springer( might lose Springer in Tobias trade)
    SF DeRozan, McDaniels, House, King
    PF Sign Christian Wood, Tucker
    C Embiid, Reed, Harrell

  28. Arthur A Bethea

    Any team can have the best coach ever but if the players don't perform as they supposed to he's going to get blamed just like every other coach does for something they can't control. 😔.

  29. MiTcH BeAtZ

    Embiid should watching Denver games and how Jokic managed the offensive. Don't say he has to be Jokic 2.0 but 60% of his passing skills would be awesome 😎😎😎

  33. Charles

    Or 3rd Depth Chart Idea
    – trade Tobias for 1 or 2 quality rotation players like a good 6th man guy like tim hardaway or something
    – buyout Korkmaz contract if sixers can't trade Korkmaz like I would want
    – sixers lose Milton & Niang to free agency
    PG Sign VanVleet, veteran Backup PG, resign McClung
    SG Maxey, Melton, Springer (might lose Springer in Tobias trade but I hope not)
    SF Resign McDaniels, House opts in & sixers aren't able to trade House, resign Louis King
    PF Sign CHRISTIAN WOOD, Tucker comes off the bench bc sixers weren't able to trade Tucker yet, steal Mamadi Diakete off his 2way contract if possible to be on the 3rd team Depth chart to develop
    C Embiid, resign Reed, Harrell opts in & sixers weren't able to trade Harrell like I want

  34. PLUG ME IN

    I believe Nick Nurse is the perfect coach for us right now. He will make Joel and Maxey better. I feel it in my soul. Those are the 2 we have to build around while also developing our other great young talent whom have not been utilized. We let so many good players go due to not focusing on their development.
