topic of our beloved or be hat uh Philadelphia 76ers and in 2K yo one time 2K my team I got kind of addicted to it 2K1 17 uh I think I spent like 500 bucks on on uh on packs in that stupid game uh and that is how is that not gambling anyway um RJ are you RB and ROM GNA collab draft night that’ be fun let’s do it man let’s do it uh so the article that I came across we’ll read we’ll look at this one but we’ll look at you know a couple other ones why not hang out with me and just read some stuff and react to it um I just found this headline interesting and maybe it’s just a good headline but the Sixers have all defensive Wing as backup if Paul George stays in La like the main thought is pretty much that Paul George is going to stay in LA because why I said this from the beginning why wouldn’t he stay in La he’s from La he’s just just he’s Paul George is just trying to use the Sixers or other teams to leverage the Clippers to give him the max contract that he desires which is like 50 I mean if he’s given up a a a 50 some million dollar player option he wants some money and I’ll be honest with you I do not want the Sixers to pay that money to a 35y old player who just kind of shrinks in play I mean it’s funny that this is the main photo because Paul George is the Michael Jordan of Tobias harrises is he not uh anyway let’s just read the article see what it says man this is from it’s an article written by Alder Amo but he’s talking about things that Ian Begley um said over at SNY New York Nicks uh radio station as previously reported members of the Philadelphia 76ers have seen an anobi as an offseason to okay that’s what they’re saying the Philadelphia 76ers have OG an anobi as their backup plan in case their top free agent Target Paul George resigns with Los Angeles Clippers according to Ian Begley that could okay I I mean it’s that that could be the Sixers backup plan to pitch to ogan and Obi to offer ogan and Obi a bunch of money uh that doesn’t mean it’s even fathomable that doesn’t mean it’s it’s going to happen I mean if the Sixers offer him more money than the Knicks yeah I guess it I guess it could definitely happen but uh anyway as previously reported members of the Philadelphia 76ers have seen anobi as an offseason Target Paul George is also a target for Philadelphia but if the Sixers can’t get George I could see them making a big offer to anobi does that make anybody nervous a big offer to OG an anobi I definitely have some opinions on this if for no other reason then it was Force New York to match the money what’s up JJ um he is signing with the Knicks for sure you heard SE yakum was on the list too yeah I would say SE yakum is definitely on the list too man pretty much any expiring player that’s you know can help you um it’s just that like when you have as much cap space as the Sixers are about to have there’s two things you don’t want to throw it all at one player because again every year we seem to be paying two guys and not have the uh Elite role players that other teams in the NBA have because we spend all our money you know we put all our eggs in one basket you know um OG is only 26 years old he’s average 15 points 6.8 rebounds one steel 1.3 blocks uh you know and he’s a player that the the the stats don’t even tell the story The the guy’s just a Major Impact guy the Knicks were like 20 and three with them on the floor after the trade deadline um he’s really really really impactful defensively and just offensively he’s Plug and Play he fits in he can catch and shoot he’s not a highlevel scorer by any means he’s not a high level ISO scorer or anything like that but he can just really he’s valuable because he can play with any players you could put him in any lineup because he’s a guy that can do all the little things and doesn’t really need the ball in his hands kind of the type of player that the Sixers uh never seem to have right they just never have these guys that can play defense and do things on the other end dribble pass and shoot anytime we have a guy that can play highle defense it’s matis thel who on the other end gets the basketball in his hands and looks like he thought he was playing soccer like he has no idea how to play the game on the offensive side um so you know that’s that’s what OG anobi gives you the problem with OG anobi is he’s never healthy and let’s just read this first and then I’m going to talk about that former Hoops hype salary cap expert salary cap expert yasi Goslin projected Anan obi’s next deal to be from 35 to 40 million annually and become the new Market Setter for Elite 3 and D Wings yeah listen bro you you can’t come off of paying Tobias Harris 40 million for all those years and turn right back around and pay ogan and Obi and I I I love like I said I love him as a player he’s got injury problems you can’t you can’t do that I I’m out on that I’m out on that if OG anobi is going for 40 million I seriously think I’m out on it man just because he can’t stay healthy and what are you doing as the Sixers if you’re just overpaying another guy who can’t stay healthy become the new market Setter and overpay are the same fair enough pretty much fair enough fair enough um you would be going from a guy who’s you know to Tobias Harris who’s not worth 40 like not good enough for 40 million but stays healthy all the time unfortunately and that’s sad that us Sixers fans we were actually celebrating not celebrating injury but we were like yeah we’re kind of happy that he has an ankle jam and he’s not starting this next game like we just wanted the guy to go away You’ be turning around from paying a guy like that who’s healthy all the time and just stinks it up when it matters the most to a guy who’s really really really valuable but has hurt all the time OG anobi got injured three times with the Knicks in two months in two freaking months the guy got injured three times he hurt his elbow and he was out for a while came back from the elbow had the hamstring and then he tried to come back from the hamstring couldn’t even run tried to play in the last playoff game and could not move his legs it was crazy I don’t know how he was in warm-ups and they were like yeah this looks fine what I guess he only got injured two times still two times in two months and he had injury problems in Toronto and that’s why they didn’t uh that’s why they traded him because they knew they weren’t going to resign him for the money that he’s going to want and you know a$1 19 million player option he’s going to decline that and he’s going to expect 40 m I can’t I can’t get down with that bro 30 to 40 million should be healthy and average close to 20 points per game uh oh he did have a shoulder injury JJ you’re right about that he did have a shoulder injury uh Rob R what’s up man thanks for the Super Chat can we can we just fire Daryl Mory and have howi Roseman run both front offices wouldn’t that be the dream man a guy like hoe Roseman who consistently fleeces everybody how r Osan is the Danny a of the NFL he never gets fleeced he never gets beat even when it looks like he did something wrong like the Carson Wentz signing he flipped it in like a year and a half so yeah that would be nice I agree with that that would be that’d be very nice if we could do that but uh unfortunately I don’t think we can uh 178 people in here man hit the like button for me one time get me up over 200 former hoop swipe salary C okay $40 million a year 3 and D his projection is based on anobi being the best among a group of elite elite Wings who have recently signed lucrative extensions well yeah you can’t compare them to these guys cuz these guys for the most part stay healthy uh Mel Bridges four years $90 million deal in 2021 Jaden McDaniels wouldn’t that be nice wouldn’t it be nice to have a Jaden McDaniels of course the Sixers had Jaylen McDaniels his not as good brother uh JD McDaniels has been great for the Minnesota Timberwolves he’s a huge part of their just defensive Powerhouse right now uh five years 136 million Jeremy Grant five years 160 million and these dudes are getting big time money and I know the Tobias Harris thing was an overpay at the time but at the same time we got to start to accept the fact that the Sal cap goes up every year and the 40 million that Tobias was making is pretty soon not going to be that much money um what are these I don’t even know what you do with all this money I was talking to my mom about that yesterday watching the Phillies game we were talking about Bryce Harper I was like what do you even do with $300 million man I don’t even know the Sixers could have almost 56 million in cap space according to Bleacher Report salary cap expert Eric Pinkus yeah if you have 56 mil I don’t think you need to be spending 40 of it on a guy that got hurt three times in two months please no spend the 56 mil on three different highlevel role players and just go into next season joeel embiid Tyrese Maxi and a supporting cast look at the Minnesota Timberwolves look at the Denver Nuggets look at the Dallas Mavericks who is the Dallas Mavericks third star somebody tell me who is the Dallas Mavericks third star PJ Washington you know what I’m saying but darl Mory will Overlook players like PJ Washington and whoever else high level role players JD McDaniels Malcolm Brogden to try to get a third star but you’re seeing these teams in the damn Western Conference Finals Eastern Conference Finals right now who’s the third star who’s the Celtics third star Drew holiday Derek white Drew holiday is an All-Star I guess great great great point guard great defender um but yeah I just I don’t want I don’t want this to happen uh Paul George expected to stay in La he’s going to stay in La anyway so look I guess the good thing we could take from this is that Paul George ain’t coming to Philly let’s be serious here because the Sixers or because the Clippers are going to overpay for Paul George they’re just going to wait it out as long as they can and if another team offers him money they’re gonna beat the price the Clippers have oh yeah uh christs porzingis I forgot about him because he’s always hurt too uh rumor has that he’s going to come back though soon uh so yeah chrisps porzingis is a Celtics third star the Celtics are a Powerhouse it ain’t even fair the fact that they almost lost to the Pacers last night makes me happy because there’s still a potential that they will choke it away uh Paul George dodged the question about his future after Clippers lost to Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA Playoffs I’m not even focused on that yet George told reporters I got a lot of I got a lot to digest myself so I haven’t even got to that yet look forward to kind of going back just letting everything decom press talk to my family be around family support and then address The Next Step um the the Clippers have a brand new Arena opening a brand new Arena the Clippers have opening they reigned kawhai already this is a money thing for an LA team opening a new Arena and and I said I said that they were trading for James Harden last season because I thought that was the only team that made sense for because if it doesn’t work they can blow it up and they can get rid of all three of these guys but they already resigned Kawhi Leonard so the Clippers I think they’re looking at it like they just want to sell hope and you have to have James Harden Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to sell hope open a new Arena and be like look we had some injuries last year but but these are the guys and and and we’re we’re we were right there we can really get it done this year they’re going to sell hope to Clippers fans it’s what they’re going to do they’re resigning Paul George because they want to fill that Arena straight up and then James Harden’s a year older 10 pounds heavier Kawhi Leonard’s out again because he’s out every year can’t believe it happened again I do believe it happened again it’s just crazy Paul George is the only one that stayed healthy and I mean you know that team another reason why the Sixers should value that 2028 unprotected Clippers pick more than basically anything because you don’t know what the draft could be at that point you don’t know really the prospects right now obviously they’re in middle school or something but by 2028 uh imagine the Clippers are in full tank mode and the Sixers have Tyrese Maxi is Joel embiid even still playing by 2028 so the Sixers are doing a shorter quicker rebuild and they got Tyrese Maxi and they got the Clippers over they got the Clippers unprotected first in 2028 and it ends up being the number one overall pick and they get a generational the next LeBron James I’m just making [ __ ] up but uh they’ll probably trade the pick because that’s what Daryl Mur is going to do but anyway uh George 34 has 48.8 million player option next season um the ippers are hoping to resign George under his max a 4-year $221 million extension through June 30th like kawh Leonard did to become to to continue building a contender uh do you think these guys are delusion like do these NBA player are they delusional at this point you think people live such a rich lifestyle for so many years that they just think they deserve this money and they’re just looking at the rest of the league and they’re like if he’s getting 50 million I deserve 50 million but like like at what point do you accept the fact that you’re not worth 50 million anymore you know uh yeah there’s my thought on that man I’m I’m out on OG an anobi at 40 mil bro that just sounds crazy that just sounds crazy um NBA Insider offers major update on potential Sixers free agent Target well that’s the Paul George thing again uh let’s look at the top here Ricky Council has proven plenty of people wrong but he’s not done yet 54 minutes ago Liberty Ballers 54 minutes ago Liberty Ballers let’s read this get off the screen what is that rookie Council the fourth has surprised Everyone by earning time as an undrafted rookie now he knows there’s work to be done to become a rotation piece for the Sixers I don’t bro Ricky Council earned playing time and somebody tweeted me one of his poster dunks yesterday and every time I see it it pisses me off that he didn’t get a minute in the playoffs it makes no sense when you see guys like Andrew nard seconde players or Derek Lively Dallas Mavericks rookie Center you know getting heavy playoff man young guys can play uh Rick and Council the for did something this season that a few undrafted rookies have been able to do he earned minutes and won games for a team that viewed itself as a contender sure injuries opened up opportunities for the Arkansas Product but boy did he make the most of those opportunities Daryl mury targeted Council as soon as the high flying wing wasn’t selected in the 2023 NBA draft but even the Sixers president of basketball operations was surprised by the rookie impact is a Daryl mury quote right here with Ricky the way it normally goes and we spoke to Ricky about this in his exit meeting is your first year you almost have no chance especially if you’re undrafted you have to prove yourself in the G League which he did the second year you really have to focus a lot on what you need to improve and if you do that you then need to give a coach the reason to play you because you’re probably not going to play a whole lot even in your SE why why why is that set in stone so you showed incredible upside you showed a lot of tools in your just player makeup that the Sixers are lack were were lacking right in front of your face where you’re like hey could we get a physical Wing who plays hard who can dribble a basketball who can finish at The Rim who’s going to hustle for rebounds and he’s like hey I’m right here and they were like yeah but you’re undrafted doesn’t make any sense who the cares where when he was drafted in your in your second year you really have to focus a lot on what you need to prove and even and if you do that you then need to give a coach the reason to play you because you’re probably not going to play a whole lot even in your second that’s stupid Daryl mury that’s stupid that’s dumb that’s Flatout stupid Eric spola took five undrafted players to the NBA finals and you’re sitting here telling Ricky Council yeah but you still might not play in your second year even if you improve and you’re still good enough to play you were drafted it’s your second year we’re going to play older veterans is everybody Doc Rivers bro is Daryl myy Nick nurse is this is did Doc Rivers just infiltrate the minds of the damn Sixers front office man I did not know this article pissed me off this much it’s stupid man what why would you tell him he’s not going to play in his second year he should have played his first year anyway let’s move on what council likely heard was challenge accepted the North Carolina native had quite the journey to get to this point defying plenty of odds along the way this offseason will simply be a continuation of the work he’s already put in all the optional days we have it’s not optional for us Council said all the blackout days I probably missed two or three but other than that I was still in here so it’s a lot of work uh played 289 minutes two games of Sixers don’t win without Council February 10th in DC and April 7th in in San Antonio in both instances he was unexpectedly thrust into action in both instances he played a huge part oh yeah that San Antonio game man he he literally saved the entire team and sent the game to overtime Ricky Council the undrafted rookie that you’re not going to play because you’re undrafted even in your second year you’re not going to play because you’re undrafted dude he had like hard takes to the rim and one finishes through contact I don’t understand this one the Sixers always blow my mind the Sixers always just com continue to impress me with how poorly run they are but I thought it was I was like okay the Tobias Harris thing is over the Ben Simmons thing is over Isaiah Joe thing we can’t keep crying about Charles Bassie as a backup center it’s over now they’re going to start to do things the right way they got Nick nurse in here and they they just they just present me with another thing that is that doesn’t make sense it’s just the Sixers man they’re they’re just like oh you thought we were done doing dumb [ __ ] check this out undrafted g-league guy who shows more fight and strength around the rim and and dog mentality than anybody outside of Tyrese Maxi on the team we’re not going to play him and he’s going to be he’s going to have some really good minutes in the regular season when the playoffs come around he’s getting zero and we’re going to play Tobias Harris in crunch time and he’s going to give us a goose egg and we’re going to continue to play him and we’re going to play 38-year-old Kyle Lowry until he can’t freaking walk anymore and we’re going to lose in the first round it’s the stupidest [ __ ] I’ve ever seen man let’s see if we can find an article that makes us happy before we get out of [Laughter] here uh let’s see proposed sign and trade sends Sixers $27 million Champion Michael Porter Jr W uh Michael Porter Jr is the Michael Porter Jr is the nah n too big of a contract for a 14o per game player who was playing in an offense that literally handed him the ball all the time don’t forget that you know the whole thing runs around joic Jamal Murray point guard yeah but really an off ball catch and shoot combo guard like Michael Porter Jr has all the opportunity in the world on that team to score and he’s just so inconsistent look what Michael Porter Jr did in the elimination game against Minnesota he had like four points brother PE Sixers fans don’t realize it because they don’t watch the Nuggets that much Michael Porter Jr literally is Tobias Harris I’m not kidding at all no thanks uh let’s click on one more before I get out of here is Mel Bridges a possibility or a fantasy nah I think it’s I think it’s a fantasy um oh let’s oh man man man man NBA free agency forecast could Tobias Harris return to the Sixers [Laughter] I’m going to the gym after this this is pissing me off at last Tobias Harris is expected to hit free agency market for the first time since he resigned with the Sixers in 2019 at the time Harris was Philly’s second major inseason trade acquisition Sixers were the ones to win Harris yeah we know that he established himself as a solid piece in the Sixers system did he really uh but he got paid a lot of money to be a third option we didn’t think he was a third option at the time we thought we were paying a Max contract player they weren’t like hey you’re the third option here’s a Max contract would the Sixers con consider bringing Tobias Harris back on a different pay scale no Tobias Harris could retire exactly no a lot of people will come to a lot of people will reply to me on Twitter or in the Discord or whatever and say like we should bring him back on a cheaper deal no we no no we should not not here’s the thing you know and a lot of a lot of Tobias Harris Defenders would say things like you’re just mad at the amount of money that he makes and I was like bro no I’m not that’s not what makes me mad about Tobias Harris anybody that really watched him we weren’t like yeah but if he was making no if he was making Ricky Council money I would have been angry because he’s stunk it up when it matter it doesn’t oh he’s on a cheap deal that’s fine let’s put dog [ __ ] players on the floor because they’re cheap I don’t understand it it had nothing to do with the money at that point I AC I I accepted a long time ago that Tobias Harris was overpaid it got to the point where he was so bad I didn’t want him on the floor at all the Sixers were literally better with him off the floor so the people that say like we should bring him back on a cheaper deal and he can come off the bench for what for what stop it give me younger players that are hungrier give me younger hungrier players younger hungrier players they better not they they Absolut I swear to God bro if the Sixers resign Tobias Harris for any for any amount of money I swear I don’t know what I’ll do man I I I just like I might burst a blood vessel or something that’s what yeah we know what Daryl said about Tobias at his press conference it was ridiculous there’s no way could Tobias Harris return to the Sixers does this article make an argument that he can both parties would benefit from a breakup yes 100% 100% on the money I don’t think he wants to come back to Philly anyway and we should all be glad that he doesn’t want to come back to Philly do you guys understand what would happen in the in the Wells Fargo Center if Tobias Harris was announced next season number 12 Tobias the contract har woo Bo you can’t bring tobi’s Harris back at all bro like not even there’s just no way no way nobody in the league wants to buy us I mean rumor has that the Detroit Pistons want them and the Detroit Pistons were it was rumor but it was a rumor that the Pistons were willing to give us uh Alec Burks and bogdanovich you know Harris trade at the deadline I still I’m still giving darl Mur the benefit of the doubt that he’s not a complete idiot and he held on to Tobias because he knew he could clear $40 million off the books this upcoming off season if he traded him for burkson and and bonovich you’re picking up another 20 mil in contracts for the next one or two years and I I really would love to believe that that’s why darl mury refused to trade him at the deadline I think Daryl knew that this season wasn’t going to be it anyway one thing darl Mur is really good at doing is not giving a [ __ ] what anybody says when when he has said in his mind what like he was just like yeah you know the James Harden thing and I didn’t get what I wanted right away I got some assets I need time to flip them I need time for this or this the fans are freaking out but I don’t care we’re I’m going to I’m going to max out the cap space this summer and I’m going to try again like he’s really good at ignoring a really loud fan base so I’ll give him credit for that but darl M this summer you’re skating on thin ice buddy you’re skating on thin ice man anyway man Hey listen thanks for hanging out with me guys I appreciate you I’ll do this probably all off off season just pop up for about a half hour or something and chat with you guys maybe just read some random articles written by local Philadelphia writers or you know if there’s actual news to talk about of course we’ll talk about that too uh but yeah thanks for being here thanks for being active in the chat thanks for participating man shout out to everybody in here I appreciate you guys man and I’ll talk to you
