    It’s definitely going in that direction. I’m just waiting to see what Philly fans have to say about embiid after he’s traded to New York or whatever team he pin points like Dame. I have a feeling a lot of Philly fans gonna be saying all the things that they have been too delirious to admit because Joel was their guy. Probly a lot of things like Embiid ain’t gonna win shit because he puts all his focus on regular season MVPs and when the playoffs come his body is beat to shit, and he just doesn’t have that playoff DNA. Like you said in your last vid all his numbers go down in the post season. Too bad you can’t just beg for a title like he did his MVP. It’s cool though, you guys will be free to give your honest opinions of Joel soon and you will all look a lot less foolish when you are speaking common sense.

    I think all this doom and gloom and blow up talk, is a little extra. We're talking like it's easy to win a championship. How can consistently getting close to the second round make us in a better situation than before the process when we were not close to being contenders? I don't know why we don't consider how close we were last season. A couple things go our way and the conversation is different. Who's to say things won't go our way next time.

  8. Chima Ebinama

    I definitely disagree with Jeff's comments about drafting fultz and Simmons. First if Fultz didn't lose his basketball skills right before the season started, Fultz was a perfect fit next to Simmons and Embiid. He could run point and shooting guard effectively. Simmons was the consensus #1 pick, and we know teams don't usually draft #1 based on what they already have, they usually do it based on talent and potential. And Simmons talent and potential was sky high. Even if Simmons can't shoot, imagine if he was just aggressive all the time and could make 70% of his freethrows

    I still think the Sixers and mainly Morey will make the right move before it's all said and done. I have no clue what it is, but I think so. I'm just gonna wait patiently. A crow of Embiid, Maxey, and Tobi is gonna be way better than people think. If folks calm down and really look at the skill set and talent between those 3.

    I said it was time for a rebuild right after the Celtics series. My stance hasn’t changed. Can get some talent and picks for Embiid and should be able to get a serviceable player and a pick for harden. Shouldn’t have to be a 6 year rebuild like with Hinkie.

  12. Nathaniel

    Im not a Sixer fan, but it definitely seems like the window has been closed for some time now. The Process has been going on for 10 years, and has only netted Joel and Tyrese. You may as well cash in on Joel and put the ball in Tyrese's hands.

    James Harden was not the bandage to get rid of Ben Simmons. Morey’s drive to get James Harden from the start was the reason to get rid of Ben Simmons. That was start of the downfall

  19. craig burnett

    You have a rising star in Maxi and the MVP at center. Blowing it up is not the answer. This Harden drama is a blessing in disguise.

  22. Charles Hamilton

    I not listening to anymore trade Embiid until he asks for it or they do it. Damn Philly Media is push this to much. I am out .

  23. WeeBaye

    If you accept that Philly was not sold on building around Embiid until Ben forced them, all of the moves start to make more sense. You draft Jahlil Okafor a year after drafting Embiid. You draft Markelle as a SG who could shoot alongside Ben instead of Tatum. You let Jimmy walk because he needed the ball in his hands rendering Ben useless. The Mikal Bridges trade was said to have been done to draft a project player who gave the team a longer runway to not have to pay a plug and play player sooner since Ben and Embiid extensions were coming up but we turn around and use the draft pick to trade for Tobias and pay him 180 million. We got every major decision wrong trying to build around Ben instead of Embiid.

    Mediocrity, over rated…
    Yannis, Kobe nor S Curry were top ten picks.
    You just have to do your homework and have a direction while drafting

  26. Kevin Washington

    The sixers has no choice. Pros that come there is no night life here and they don't want to go to the SHORE!!!!

  27. TayR Smitty

    Without Ben Simmons say what you want that team begin relevant , attractive players wanted to play his style ! He had a great career so far those last two years have been badddd baddd but it happens now I say if he have down year this year I think it’s over for high profile Ben Simmons

  29. Kevin Washington

    Am saying like you say it is what is time blow this team up kick out Morey, Elton Brand who is a puppet it's time for a shake up!!!! Blow it up.!!!

  31. *AVÂNT-GARDE*

    If we can get 75% of what Utah got from Minny for Gobert I definitely would blow up the team by trading Embiid and as a bonus also get whatever you can for Harden and start the rebuild with a 22-year-old future star in Maxey!!! Our championship window with Embiid ended his past playoffs when they choked against the Celtics!!!

  33. Chima Ebinama

    I'm pretty sure Nurse doesn't regret his decision. He didn't come to Philly for Harden. He came for Embiid and Maxey. And he wants to be the one to get them over the hump with his plan.
