bet us for sponsoring the channel now let’s go over to uh let’s go over to the video man and let’s just watch listen react to Bill Simmons and his boys and the title of this is do the 76ers need a third star let me make sure we’re we’re we’re live here audio wise all right we’re good I think his one friend right here is uh is a 76ers fan so so let’s just hear it we start talking about like oh this guy might be available and Donovan Mitchell might be available and Paul George and everything yeah I wonder whether or not like there will be any trickle down effect from the success of certain teams in the playoffs this year of people being like I think actually what we would like to do is go seven deep with guys who know their role around their two stars and the happiest I was as a Sixers fan this year is when I felt like there was that kind of balance on the team before embiid got hurt yeah uh where I agree with that in the regular season it looked like that um also Mr Sixers fan you didn’t watch darl Murray’s press conference if you think there’s any chance of the 76ers front office saying you know what we want to go seven deep and build a team full of highlevel role players because of what we’re seeing in the NBA playoffs currently mury literally made the argument that yes teams are winning now with less Allstars and deeper rosters but over the course of history teams with the better players up top win he literally said that out loud and it’s what he’s always done as a GM is try to get multiple Allstars on a team and and fish after big names so if you know anything about Daryl Mor and you watch this press conference and listened closely you wouldn’t even be asking this question because it’s flat out 100% not going to happen he’s going after Paul George Jimmy Butler at least Brandon Ingram I I think if you want him to build a team full of role players and role guys we have to hope that his first couple of options don’t come to fruition the only way for you to get this out of Daryl Mor for him to swing and Miss on what he really wants to do he he’s not going to sit back and say you know what I don’t want that’s not what’s going to happen anyway would like to do is go seven deep with guys who of people being like I think actually what from the success of certain teams in the playoffs this year of people being like I think actually what we would like to do is go seven deep with guys who know their role around our two stars and the happiest I was as a guy has no idea who darl mury is and what he does man Sixers fan this year is when but I agree that’s what I would like that’s what every all Sixers fans I think would like but it’s not what he’s going to do I felt like there was that kind of balance on the team before embiid got hurt uh where it was like Maxi and embiid were the clear one and two time there’s the sly little embiid injured uh joke from a Boston Celtics fan clear one and two time got hurt uh I felt like there was that kind of balance on the team before embiid got hurt uh where it was like Maxi and embiid were the clear one and two time did he get hurt twice this year I don’t even understand the joke really all right anyway this is going to make make me want to never mind I’m not going to say it I thought you already got your one free swing like swing he said when be got hurt I was just I just changing Paradigm of NBA team building you know you got to make it Regional uh anyway I was just think I was just wondering out loud like oh I wonder whether or not anybody’s gon to look at Dallas and be like huh like where’s my Gafford rather than we wish he would he’s not it’s Daryl mury bro what don’t you understand are you listening to okay let’s bring in another guy and another guy who we’re going to you know and we’re going to have to find the chemistry and find all this wouldn’t you say it’s different if you have Luca or and you have wanyama or if you have yes 100% I completely agree with this with with Bill Simmons I’m glad he went there because I’ve been saying like you know I could talk about Dallas’s role players and how the Sixers need to do what they’re doing but it’s also one of the probably one of the best point guards we’ll ever see play the game in Luca donic uh elevating those guys so the Sixers don’t have that either yage you really only need one other major guy and then some awesome role players I would say because it’s like the major guys almost were two guys right rob you do need to be sure that whoever your best player is and I think Joel and beid is clearly one of these guys is a truly truly Elite player like an immutable force in a in a potential series of course their efficiency is going to go up and down but they changed the matchups by being on the floor I agree with that guy who’s who’s the guy in the middle I like him a lot and so they have to be really good obviously when your second gu is a shot Creator like Kyrie that changes a lot yeah but what you do below them I I think it can get tricky and and almost we want to have it both ways sometimes where these teams that do the three star model yeah you get burned if you have Bradley Beal as your third star that’s clearly not good enough just like why didn’t the Phoenix Suns know this why did everybody else know this and the Phoenix Suns didn’t know this port a bunch of minimum contracts filling out the rest of the roster I think Paul George is significantly better than that if you’re talking about a third or how are you want to classif yeah let’s go guy in the middle let’s go guy in the middle let’s go by the pecking order of what would be in Philadelphia and at the same time the other the other outlets are are the other avenues for building teams have have their pitfalls too if you may think you’re seven deep but then you get in the playoffs and you’re only actually five deep and all of your best laid play F go to [ __ ] because two role players couldn’t quite be as good as you thought they were so oh like the like the 76ers entire Supporting Cast this season like the guy said earlier I thought they were deep before embiid got hurt and I don’t think it had to do with embiid’s injury I think it had to do with the playoffs and there just weren’t that good or Michael Malone didn’t get the email about playing like the young kids in the play yeah right right so yeah those things are hey Nick nurse didn’t either man does this guy how you going to call out Mike Malone when Nick nurse did the same thing do you watch you’re you just said you’re Sixers fan you don’t watch Sixers games oh like I think it there’s so many ways for NBA teams to go wrong and we always want to diagnose them and you want to give yourself as many outs as you can but realistically does Bill Simmons add anything to the podcast besides taking shots at the Sixers or embiid’s injuries if you can get three star level players I still think that’s a really good model if I’m Paul George I could just stay in LA make a ton of money I’m from La you know that I wouldn’t say there’s a shitload of pressure on the Clipper players out here right nice weather every day and I have an awesome okay I didn’t I I didn’t I didn’t realize I didn’t realize I was going to have to educate a a a a supposed you know Sports expert on what’s going on in the sport Bill Simmons says if I’m Paul George I can just stay in La make a ton of yeah if the Clippers were offering him the max contract that he wants he would of course he would stay there the whole argument is that Paul George might leave because they’re not giving him the contract that he wants that’s how he could land up in Philly you’re talking about it like Paul George is just going to randomly make the decision to leave LA and come to Philly that’s not even what we’re talking about bro bill doesn’t even know the own top the bill doesn’t even know the topic that’s being discussed on his own show this was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be here right nice weather every day and I have an awesome house or I could move to Philadelphia with one of the most psychotic fan bases that exists well that’s true keep the moment anything goes wrong it’s my [ __ ] fault on the Tobias Harris that’s called that’s true pressure makes breaks P Philadelphia which I’m pretty sure there’s no ocean like just to two hours away yeah two hours away uh and the only reason I’d leave the Clippers is it’s like I’m tired of this Kawai roller coaster not knowing if that this guy’s gonna play no the only reason he would leave the Clippers is because they’re not offering him the contract how did you miss this main point of the topic bro the guy’s way off base I’m GNA sign up for Joel embiid because that’s going to be a much more stable game game after game month after month relation to you and kawh Leonard like I think Joel Joel embiid’s relationship to the Sixers and the Sixers fans is much different than kawh Letter’s relation I’m talking about him being on the court yeah see hey Bill porzingis isn’t on the court right now are yeah yeah so if I’m leaving Kawai I want to go to a team where I know the I wish embiid maybe had a little bit more Kawai I wish he took more nights off and was more like hey it’s the knee’s a little gy I’m gonna I agree with that thank you for that I’ll take embiid playing you know what embiid play 40 games next season and if you land Jimmy Butler Paul George play them 40 games too I’m gonna let it rest that’s fair well let me ask you this after these playoffs who is that star that you’re positive will be on the court oh good question guy in the middle what you gonna say to this one bill because everybody else is dropping like Flats been Maj oh he doesn’t have an answer cuz he’s talking out his guys [ __ ] play Nobody mentions that as like a strength yeah super not G W uh yage same thing Luca even though he gimps around sometimes he’s still [ __ ] out there every time here’s here’s the solution for all I I I feel like some of these old guys throw curse words in the middle of their podcast now to try to be hip does anybody else get get a little cringe when a guy like Bill Simmons randomly says the FW that’s with Paul George a double sign and trade with the Lakers turn the turn the camera on Kyle double sign and trade LeBron gets to stay in LA but he goes to the Clippers to open the new stadium finish his career all right we’re not even going to respond to this there um Paul George gets to finally play with the Lakers after it was blocked by Adam Silver a couple years ago and what finally he gets to be a Laker and he gets to be him and AD and JJ reick and we’re off it’s a new era for the Lakers JJ reic with like was that like conditional that they get rid of LeBron so that there’s no conflict of interest the new post LeBron ERA with Paul George a I couldn’t possibly start a TV show made by Andy Greenwald it would complicate our podcast in relationship no I did I just like that I like The Narrative of that LeBron and the Clippers bombers like this is great I have LeBron James to help open my new Arena we’ll see if he can get what is he what’s what are his things left 40,000 points he done that did is the end of this just people saying dumb things that aren’t going to happen be some Milestone left he can break in the uh okay all right that’s the end of it there it is there’s the Bill Simmons podcast everyone uh I had to listen to it so you had to listen to it I didn’t know I was I didn’t know it was going to be that uh off base and just non-factual whatsoever and just uh basically five minutes of [ __ ] talking um but did they answer the question do the Sixers need a third star they didn’t really even answer the question uh bill just said that nobody wants to go to Philly or why would Paul George go to Philly because he he doesn’t even at least read Twitter before he comes onto his own podcast uh and then the other guy said the Sixers should build a deep roster instead of hunting for stars and and the guy in the middle uh he was like who’s the third star that’s always healthy and Bill couldn’t really even answer the question he went back to talking about Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown again yeah I mean it is what is you know sorry if that gave you nothing of value [Laughter] uh I just did it for fun um you know it’s the off season I’m probably going to do this a lot Rea reacting to other podcasts and things like that so thanks for hanging out with me uh hit the like button on the video and I’ll see you guys very soon man I’m out

  1. Most Coaches don't go past 7-9 players come Playoff time, so how do we know the role-players wouldn't have been solid?

  2. is there any Simmons you are not hating? 🙂

    His podcast, together with Ryan Russilo, is one of rare good basketball discussions. They throw different types of scenarios, they are GM-ing and certainly know the game far far better than Stephen A. Smiths, Skip, Keyshawn, Shannon, and even Kendrick Perkins. Dude is not a Sixers hater. He was praising them when it was deserved. But maybe he treated the franchise differently last years, because, from the business point of view – the process was a failure. Years of tanking was cheating for getting higher picks (not a good sport story at all), and those picks turned out to lead the team to nowhere. He is from Boston, but he's objective. Dude is living basketball. He said no to the machinery. Gotta respect that.

  3. That term "STAR" is overrated by misuse in certain perspectives. A role player can PRODUCE in the capacity of a supposed "STAR". "NEED" is what you build on. And we "NEED" "EMBIID PRODUCTIVITY REPLACEMENT" consistently when he rests in games during or between quarters or is injured. I emphasize that. That's why a PAIRING with a Lauri Markkenan, Jàren Jackson Jr or Evan Mosley type power forward makes sense in productivity replacement for Embiid whenever he is rested or injured. Morey need stop making it more complicated than it need to be. His focus is on his "Small Ball Analytics" with emphasis around three guards, a wing and a versatile power forward at the 5…. mimicking the earlier days of Golden State with Draymond Green sometimes anchoring the 5 spot. We don't need anything that does not addresses replacement for Embiid's production at his position. And I get it that we can't find another Embiid type player. But a PAIRING with him by the players mentioned above will be impactful. Even if PAIRING Paul Reed with Embiid, and adding productive depth at the power forward or center with the right player or players keeps it consistent…then why not. Sure, we can probably get productivity from the wing or guard positions for consistent production replacements for Embiid's. But what did last season showed us? We were left wanting. PEACE…MUCH PROPS TO YOU AND YOUR PODCAST 👍💯

  4. The NBA is not a competitive sports league right now. LeBron took the competition out of the league and made it about grand building.
    None of these current NBA players want to come somewhere that they are going to be expected to produce, and WIN!!!!
    They want to live in some resort town, where no one cares about the team and they can make a ton of money, just scoring points and showing up and doing the bare minimum.
    The NBA is the league that exist to put highlights on social media and sell shit to kids.
    They really aren’t trying to offer competitive sports, which is why they are being murdered by the NFL.
    I like the NBA too. I grew up liking the NBA football. I played both sports and like both sports, but the NBA has gone off the rails LeBron super team and it’s only gotten worse.
    Klutch sports are a true cancer on the league. We know they tried to get Maxey out of Philly, but Maxey did not want to leave.
    It’s why all the big market teams suck in the NBA because the league has coddled these babies to appoint that none of them think pressure to win and perform should be part of the job description.
    The NBA really is a second tier league compared to the NFL and college football now. And I am saying this as a basketball and NBA fan. But the competition in the WNBA is far more intense than anything. The NBA can provide. Sure they don’t dunk but other than that it’s superior in every imaginable way.
    Played with the same intensity and competition as the women do the NBA would have double or triple its current audience like it did in the 90s.

    1998 finals ratings were almost 40 million people per game – that’s 1/3rd of the Super Bowl or 1/4th about.

    Now NBA finals ratings average about 10 million people per game. That’s 1/124th of the Super Bowl – don’t give me cord cutting the NFL deals with cutting also.

  5. Changing of nba team building? Boston had the best record and they have 5 guys that have been Allstars and none of them is Derrick White. Just because they're not stars with sneakers doesn't mean they aren't stars on the court.

  6. The sixers are rotten at the top ownership for hiring rubbish to run the team. The sixers have not had a real GM since Pat Williams, and that is pathetic. I think it's sad, all we can talk about is what old over the hill all star who's better days are behind him can help the sixers fail again. I am not buying into that ship the sixers are frack period. The sixers will not change until it hurts their pockets. If the sixers go for another 35 and up player, I am not going to a sixers game next season.

    I wish people stop saying the sixers did not have a bench, the fact is the idiot coach did not play them Ricky Council and KJ Martin. The sixers have another Glenn Rivers as coach, fact not fiction. You all want to say Nick Nurse is a genius and is better than Glenn, then why did the sixers go out in the first round?

  7. Good show, good to know what others think and suggest. I don't personally feel psychotic but a sicko , probably yeah.

  8. Never was about the PG move but I decided I want the sixers to do anything that bill simmons tries to talk against. Bring PG here.

  9. Citing Luka brown Tatum is laughable those guys are for real 25 years old no shit they are healthier. And oh yeah they aren’t 7 foot 280 pounds either. Simmons is the biggest clown out there.

  10. This is exactly why I think the 3rd star model is more realistic for success. Is there a better chance on hitting on ONE third star or 4-5 role players? If only one or two of those role players come through for you, you’re still screwed. Easier for Daryl to hit on one player than 4

  11. Lol, Bill Simmons is TERRIFIED of the idea of PG going to Philly.

    He is just pulling generic excuses out of his butt and throwing them at the wall hoping they stick. "PG can stay in LA and make a ton of money"… like the Sixers are not giving him a max to come in.
