great content
I doubt a contender trades for Harden.
JJ get them a better green screen or fly them out
They need to hit open shots
If you know psychology and body language, you can see Maxey doesnt like Harden lol
Maxey is the better than Lou Williams and Jordan Poole …..he is a lot faster and a better scorer
I love this trio. Great hoops talk as always!
This type of hoop talk is the best.
What happened to Tommy?
I feel like so much pressure is being put on this dude. Is he even that good?
When podcasters say, k we're outta time, that's all the time we have, what do they mean? Are their guests paid by hour? Are podcasters paid by hour?
Genuine question.
I'm a big Maxey fan and whenever Harden is traded that will hopefully be a greenlight for Maxey to get more freedom. I don't see many teams really open to taking on Harden except maybe the Clippers but if they do trade a third team would probably be involved, someone like OKC that has assets the 76ers could get in return. The Thunder have a Euroleague MVP(Micic) sitting on the bench that will be regulated to the bench because of the logjam at guard. Micic is 29 yr old 6'5" PG in the same vein as Harden that can score and pass and has been battle tested enough to not freeze under the bright lights, plus he doesn't cost a lot. He's an older rookie that's looking to prove himself on the NBA stage. A backcourt of him and Maxey would be dynamic and it allows Maxey to still play off ball.
Hey JJ, give the other dudes better cameras and background, come on man, you have the millions
Is tommy gone?
Keep harden if they know what’s best we haven’t even attained him a whole season
Maxey pad gonna stop the bleeding in Philly fo sho
Maxey will have a 25-5-5 stat line this season – bet on it
I was very disappointed last time Tyrese maxey did not included in US FIBA Team. How many US Fiba players seected by coach Steph ciurr better than Tyrese?
I may be dumb, but why is an NBA team agreeing to take Harden? Big salary, toxic in the locker room, loser in the playoffs, ball dominant, likely to demand to be traded. The only reason to take Harden is if you are in win now mode, but Harden will guarantee you are not winning now in the second round of the playoffs.
i would love to see embiid drop his points and move into like a sabonis kinda role because he is so much better defensive if u he can do the same kinda thing and add in his mid range ability that would be interesting
Maxey overrated
Couldn't Russ be a part of a deal with the Clips for Harden?!
Trade Harden to the Big3
If we can get T. Mann we should have him play that Harden role.
Should philly have traded Harden for Marcus Smart?
We don't need Maxey making plays we need him averaging 27 which he can and not defer to Joel, Tony Parker wasn't a play maker nor is a player like Jamal Murray, both played with a dominant big like Joel and their job was to score so should Maxey
Nurse instead of Doc Rivers is an enormous upgrade for Philly. Sixers lost versus Boston because Doc never adjusted and was outclassed by a rookie head coach. Also, Doc never had a single play designed for Maxey and refused to play good young guys like Springer.
Loved the defensive energy from the Sixers bench. It looks like this team actually practices, unlike how it was under Doc. Also, I think Springer is going to be a huge asset for us.
Everybody is looking to stack up "stars" on their team, like there isn't any good results without stacking them (Nuggets, Miami,..?). What about good old fashioned teamwork and team chemistry and good coaching? When you look at their roster, you can not tell that they don't have every position nicely covered. And really a group of different playing style of players. And they have Nick. Now the only thing that is remaining is for Embiid to become a man and to get a backbone.
Most likely he wouldn’t want to, but it would be a win-win situation for Harden to go to Utah.
Philly would probably receive some ok guards (Sexton, Ogbaji) and lots of picks + possibly some cash (since Utah has lots of both), and Utah would be able to finally have a quality point and give Harden the reigns to run the entire offense through him and give him all the freedom he’s looking for.
Harden not going anywhere
Trade Harden while you can.
these dudes are trash, why would anyone listen to them
Maxey was unreliable last night. Hardest worker in the league and improved year on year, the sky is the limit. I have faith he can take us past the second round with JoJo this season. Up the Sixers
