Sixers are better without Harden, he is by far my least favorite player in the league glad he's gone
ROCKETS NATION STAND UP
Ant Edwards is one of my favorite players in the NBA he's so fun to watch, great video 🔥
Love the Nuggs conversation, thanks. Bam MacMahon is secretly in the Nuggs fans circle of trust. He is right on Strawther but what the other silver lining on Jamal’s absence is that it gets Reggie fully integrated. Reggie will get around 10 starts, two vs the Clips, where he gets 30 mins per, playing Jokic-ball, getting open looks, building confidence and swagger. By the end of it he will be fully resurrected and perfect for leading the bench unit.
Sixers and Bucks have traded positions. In the past Embiid would have 50 points and we would lose because of our bench. Bucks traded away their depth and are now experiencing the same issue.
Batum
Morris
ROCO
KJ Martin
Vs our old
Shake
Niang
Harrell
Etc
Implying the price is going up for Maxey doesn't mean anything. They won't extend him because:
1. Either way he is getting a max contract.
2. The 76ers have 70m in cap space this offseason
3. Bird rights make it so Maxey doesn't need to sign that contract until we only have 14m left in space
4. Springer will more than likely be traded to free up an additional 4m and make it a clean 60m in free salary cap BEFORE Maxey signs.
Nothing like a bunch of nerds trying to be funny.
I keep trying but this podcast is a rough listen.
What kinda earpods/headphones is Windy using?
Lol embiid is best two way supwr star, snd the best two way player is also the best player in the league.
Harden since the change of the foul ruling has been on a downhill trend but now he is just plain useless….
Not for prime Michael Jordan you windbag
Fk, it always bothers me that the biggest maverick hater is also our team insider 😒
you said broke. good show. really enjoy the smart bball talk (other than the persistent tossing of the c's salad by the tims).
Philly should trade kj martin and Mo Bomba to mv's for m. Morris and 2 seconds let the brothers play on the same team together.
it's not on the perimeter Tim its Dwight and Maxie dummy everyone knows that. they are cooked and should never play.
As a T Wolves fan. Thanks guys 😑
Conley perfect fit. Go T-Wolves 💎
MPJ 4 MIP!!!!!
Bro you said "broke" stop gaslighting 😅
