SIXERS DRAFT REACTION: Welcome To Philadelphia Jared McCain! Devon Givens Joins To Discuss The Pick
[Music] hello Philadelphia I’m Bruce Buffer it’s time for the Anthony Gorgan show good morning happy uh Thursday to all across the Delaware Valley the to the Gargano show uh I can’t take it why why would you draft a kid that’s 6’2 who can’t play with your best player wh why that makes no basketball sense to me you’re you’re drafting a role player now I’m hoping that there’s there’s something in the works there has to be something in the works I I don’t know understand the fit because I don’t think McCain can play with maxi for long stretches you become completely vulnerable defensively it just makes boggles my mind all right uh this is the Anthony gargo show I’m sorry I’ve been riling like this since last night I did not sleep I uh I’m wearing my Charlie Manuel shirt all right because Philadelphia’s for homers the S Bank Park and me because that’s my lot in life rooting for these teams these Sixers put you through it they are they just torture you they have tortured me and violet is Greg for 30 40 years and so of the old heads they’ve tortured their whole lives oh yeah we’re brought to you by Trumark Financial Credit Union check out trumark.com ply stop to your local Brands learn more about the credit union difference at Trumark Financial today all right let’s get to it so last night is the NBA draft and I I think they have a gift waiting for them with Dalton connect from Tennessee at first I kept waiting for the tree in fact if you saw when the Sixers were first on the clock Adam Silver it says we have a trade and it was like the t-wolves I forget which one it was but it didn’t have anything to do with the Sixers and I’m like all right well there’s the trade because why would you spend $4 million on a rookie I I don’t understand it now when don’t connect Falls I’m thinking well you know I I guess they’re I guess these because this is a this is a copycat league and these GMS they they look at they want teenagers right like they want youth because they keep thinking upside upside upside it’s been like that forever from Darius miles right to you name it every Michael Jordan one of it let’s go with the kids let’s go with the kids let’s go with the teenagers and they ignore guys that can actually play who are who come out of college fully ready to play I used to call them Half Bake pies the kids that would come out after one or two years it’s very rare that you get you know kg how I have to tell you that right it’s very rare that you get those kids that can blossom even like a Lou Williams who didn’t go to college right was going to go to Georgia Tech didn’t go Sixers take him it took him a few years to get his sea legs in the in the league right like it’s a rarity that those guys pan out let alone this draft where it’s really difficult I thought myy was trading the pick I was it just made more sense if you’re trying to win you got to trade the pick because as much as I would have prefer doton connect over McCain I like to me it doesn’t matter because it’s not about rookies right it’s not about rookies if you’re really trying to win right now sble team is going to win I the wars in the in that league in the playoffs it’s a different Beast it’s a different animal do I need to bring you back to last spring this past spring and Madison Square Garden and the first couple games of that series when the Sixers lose those tough games and they lost because let’s face it the moment was too big for him they shrug especially that one game they shrunk we saw buddy heel remember before he kind of woke up I mean he was tight they were tight in the garden you’re not going to win by adding rookies to this roster now listen do I think McCain can play I think he’s a a terrific shooter I think he’s got some promise right he’s he’s 6’2 listed probably closer to 6 one I I don’t understand the logic because McCain and Maxi can’t play together like I think you you well go small you can’t go small you’re too much of a liability defensively I mean you could play spurts like that and by the way well Off the Bench well Maxi plays 44 minutes like you need Maxi on the floor so I I just don’t understand the logic behind this pick and listening to my last night and he’s like well you know he was at the top my he was in the top 10 of my board the board is irrelevant all right in the NFL draft you have a big board you need a big board you have 22 positions that you’re looking at I’m not counting special teams you’re looking at 22 positions you got to have a board for roster Construction like just do in the NBA you got a rotation if you’re lucky that’s 78 guys and then you want your development that sort of thing your board especially when you look at it now in the NBA it’s got to be about who flows with whom what’s the fit right what’s the fit can I get a wing that’s going to play alongside maty and embiid that so when when mury says oh he’s the top 10 on my board I think that’s irrelevant I think that’s nonsense I need you to tell me who fits with my team I I I don’t understand you got to look at your players and go well is a six one and a half two guard and he’s really a two guard going to play with another my best player who’s an undersized two guard come on I I I don’t understand that I don’t get it now I like d connect I know he’s 23 years old I get it he’s 64 and chains you want to call it he could play the wing he could shoot tremendous ridiculous athlete I would have been happy with that I I think you can make that work I still don’t think you win with rookies and now the chasm between the Celtics it’s like you’re on this the the Eastern Conference Island right and on the in the elite Island you have the Celtics and now you have the Knicks and that’s the elite Island and then you’re way offshore and to get to that Island there is shark infested waters all right like you you can’t get there you need to you need to figure something out now again I’m frustrated but I have to allow myself until Monday to see if he’s going to trade McCain to see what else they have in store they have to have something else in store and again I think the kid can wind up playing in the league at some point he’s got to be on the right team right circumstance I think the kid could shoot like I no no doubt the kid could shoot but again he’s not a fit on this team and not for what you’re trying to do which is you’re trying to win so I I’m giving them until Monday and to see what this thing looks like but right now I I don’t get it it doesn’t make sense to me I look at them and I go I kept waiting for the trade and I didn’t see it I don’t know is he stockpiling for Paul George is that what he’s trying to do I I don’t know I I don’t there has to be something else and if there isn’t anything else and McCain is what what they’re drafting I think that’s a terrible mistake just a colossal mistake just because of you got a six one and a half two guard and your best player is his 62 and a half two guard I I I don’t understand the combos now Max is more of a combo than I think McCain is I I I don’t get it I I’m they frustrate me this team has frustrated us for decades decades and so why should last night be any different that’s popping off brought to you by Ali poop I need alipop and whiskey lemon lime and J alipop today uh at Wawa has it and it’s great you’ll love all the flavors my man VG loves it JP loves it good morning guys John zata Greg Caputo what’s happening guess of one those Diaz I don’t know no let’s go back to Bo Diaz no I I listen guys help me out I I need some help today because I’m trying to look at it from a a basketball logic sense listen he seems like a nice kid right sweet sweetheart of a kid like really like he’s you know he’s crying he’s happy he’s a joyful Soul God bless him right I don’t know where he fits I’m with you that’s that’s right where I’m at when we when we selected him I like him as a player but that’s the first thing I thought of like so what’s he gonna play what’s his role gonna be exactly his Sixers because he’s a small guard we already have Maxi like so my next inclination was we’re GNA trade him tonight right like this we picked them so we can trade them and then the night goes on and nothing happens so we’ll see at the end of the weekend but it’s definitely a head scratcher cuz I mean he can’t stay here there has to be a trade coming there has to be right there has to be there has to be trade there there has to be it just be belies logic if and team building you’re building a team I there has to be a trade yeah or they just they run small and they play no defense the guard you can’t what what imagine how you would get eaten alive at the Garden yeah I mean McCain’s not even a great defender no and Maxi’s not either no I mean what are you doing that’s my point there has to be something please tell me there’s something big in the works there has to be I mean other than that you got to look for Sunshine a New York Post gives them a grade of a B+ Firepower Off the Bench for the contending 76ers please don’t don’t aggravate me I’m already aggravated fire power off the Ben quick release High basketball IQ he’s 61 and a half dude what Off the Bench right what maxi plays 44 minutes mhm where’s he where does he fit in Yahoo sports a one of the best Shooters in this draft Sixers know exactly what they’re getting from him as a reliable shooter who competes at a high level oh my God cuz is about to yo why are you doing this to meest this whole studio I thought you were a friend of mine I thought you were my friend I’m trying to help you all right so let’s you’re not helping me all right friend of friend of the show David Murphy smart basketball guy yeah there have been two freshman in NCA history with a 611 true shooting percentage more than 210 threo attempts and more than 150 rebounds they are Jared McCain and Steph kry okay oh my God okay okay again where does he play in relation to Maxi so I I already could tell you that K could shoot I know that K could shoot I know he could shoot I watched him play in college I know that he could shoot so here here’s who does he play on the floor and how does he fit in so I mean the hypothetic so if he hypothetically stays here right you you pair him with Max in that back court this is the next problem so your two your three and your four need to be big and you need Wing players and this is the thing that we’ve struggled with Sixers Nation we haven’t had solid Wing players we can’t find these guys so if we hypothetically if he’s here next is hyp like like you’re right JP like you you can’t play they but they can’t play up top together like it doesn’t matter about size like if my if my front court is bigger it doesn’t matter you’ll get abused matchup wise because you have two non- Defenders up top who are small what do you think Brunson would do to you saw him cook Maxi what what do you think what you like makes no sense like come on Maxi mang going to get in foul trouble before the second half not even oh god there has to be another move move there’s got to be something else I mean myy can’t be this incompetent he just can’t be and then I I can’t believe it and then we I got excited I’m sure you got excited too when I saw the the picture on Twitter where Joel and beid follow lari Markin and so I’m thinking like all right something’s gonna happen here tonight there’s there’s the the was I pipe dreaming yeah I was pipe dreaming I was I was pipe dreaming like when you said that you sent it to the group somebody sent it to the group yeah it it was you or V whatever and I saw the and b files marketing I go well maybe I don’t know maybe is that it like that would be fantastic like he’s exactly what you want why else would he falling out of nowhere who knows maybe he’s got some kind of deal up his sleeve he has to so I’m I’m trying to to to not I got to give it till Monday to see what the grand plan is right because there has to be a master plan you got day two of the draft tonight so he’s got to have something up his sleeve tonight to do like there there’s it didn’t make sense like if he’s just sitting there I got to give my cursory press conference last night and goes well you know he was he was top 10 on my board the big board CZ the NBA big Bo best player available people are people are saying we did need a backup point guard you do but you needs a little size a 6’4 65 back on point guard but he’s not a point guard no he’s not a point guard no he’s a guy with an average handle who shoots light right he his handle’s okay yeah it’s okay he’s not a great facilitator he can shoot the ball God bless him could shoot the ball that’s what he can do that doesn’t fit you don’t need that Glenn says guys need to relax they had to pick someone dude can flat out shoot they didn’t have to pick someone again I know he can shoot but he’s not a fit with maxi Glenn like what what what don’t you get he’s got a fit with maxi that’s why there has to be another shoe to drop there has to be there’s got to be first of all you know there’s gonna be all the tra he’s got to make trades because you got to fill out the roster there’s a ton of work to do there’s a ton of work to do so you got to fill up the roster so there’s going to be trades but please don’t try to justify the pick because if the pick is not for a trade and the pick is for this SE for them going forward then it’s a colossal mistake and you’ll never convince me otherwise of the way what you’re unless you’re just going to blow it all up there would have to be a class action lawsuit by the fans if he does not trade this pick if this guy’s just here unless he’s thinking in the future you know we had yesterday we talked about Maxi may get the scuttled and one out of town okay if if Maxi leaves yeah I leave all right like if you can’t keep Maxi Happy who is one of the nicest athletes on the planet like who is the anti NBA uh Superstar he’s he always joyful and he loves like you if you if he leave seriously there’s no reason to stick around what do you think Maxi and beid say right now like with what’s going on around the league they know there there’s got to be something else I mean they know there has to be something else I don’t know I I I just I I mean obviously listen embiid is one of the smartest for sure it’s very interesting because Maxi is one of the sweetest nicest you know happiest athletes I’ve ever encountered and inbi is the most intelligent and beid is a really really smart guy and he and he also understands the league and he understands the makeup and he understands the business of it all he’s got he’s got to be in the know like he’s got to like he’s gota think that there’s something else so we still need a whole team we need you do need a whole team so the fact is you have so many assets you have money and you have so many picks right so you got to translate you gotta you you somehow have to cash in whatever picks you have to fill out a roster and your and your money and here’s the other thing when you when you do that are you Landing a big fish like how much are you spending like how many that’s why he’s got to be part of a trade oh my God so is it ingr like I’m not familiar enough with the Pelicans roster does does Jared fit with the Pelicans roster is that a knee that they have yeah I mean was it Alvarado’s a starting point guard over there well he but he’s not a really a one shooting guard Trey Trey Murphy the third listen they could be blown with but that that thing’s a disaster Zion always hurt you got hurt again last year I who knows what they’re gonna what they’re gonna do wow maybe it is a you know maybe it is they’re looking to to move him to New Orleans to he could spread the floor yeah there like like there has to be another move but let me throw this at you because we haven’t really discussed this yet now again let’s put aside that somebody who likes McCain and wants to trade for McCain doton connect I mean either I either or because the beginning of the draft I didn’t want to pick anyone so like me I’m I agree with you you you want to trade you want to get veterans you’re looking to win but tell me dton connect when he fell I got excited yeah every everyone at the at at a garage was getting excited as well well yeah yeah everyone at the watch party was packed last night and everyone was waiting for The Connect pick for the Sixers and then of course W drops the Jared McCain 16 overall and then we’re all like what really and like like I listen can we all be that wrong because I mean we watched him if you even if you don’t watch college basketball year you watched the tournament and the kids he looked like a player he’s the best player on his team he’s double teamed almost the whole game he still scored you couldn’t stop the kid from scoring top 32 against he state when they got eliminated so it’s like what are we all missing here that these front officers are watching but here’s the thing though did you did you miss when we all wanted Warren Sap and we all wanted Randy Moss and we all wanted we all we nobody wanted the the fireman right like like come on we there’s been draft after draft in every sport where the consensus was right I think these GMS fall in love with the age and they think about upside and they look well he’s 23 like this is a ceiling maybe I mean listen this is how they messed up we talk about we spent yesterday or the last few days talking about male right Bridges so think about that for a second Bridges no one they couldn’t fathom him having upside they didn’t see the upside Tyrese Maxi dropped to the Sixers all right Tyrese Maxi here’s the lesson and it’s Maxi I remember the draft and I go oh my God Maxi’s available how’s that possible first of all you know Kentucky players make great NBA players right like they just do they always translate NBA players yeah so Max’s just like I don’t care they didn’t make the tournament that year whatever the disaster had oh because there was no tournament because of covid who cares like you can look at if you if you’re an NBA you’re a brilliant NBA guy you can see that Tyrese Maxi can play he’s faster than anything and he can shoot what more offside you want and yet he lasted so the Sixers ragged out got lucky and he fell into his lap why can’t do connect be Tyreek Maxi 2.0 slow white guy I don’t know doesn’t translate first of all he’s not slow second of all he’s a tremendous athlete and he’s strong he’s all get out yeah I didn’t understand the drop I thought he was a top 10 pick but again they look at these kids and they’re looking for this big massive upside and they think well he’s 19 he’s GNA grow he’s 18 he’s gonna grow in his body he’s gonna do this he’s gonna do that I think that’s what’s in our head sometimes I think they miss the obvious and Ed was a surprise too like yeah I don’t think he could play at this level was seconder I honestly I thought Ed was a second rounder I’m thinking he can’t defend how is he going to defend he can’t that dude is slow I mean he looks slow in the Big 10 well he’s plotting he’s a massive kid yeah he’s plotting I I I didn’t get that a little bit but D connect is not slow D connect is a is a baller like he’s a player he was also a focal point on your team who creat his own shot who was getting blitzed blitzed right like if you’re don’t you want the guy that in a big moment and in big- time college basketball is getting blitzed and still dropping 30 yeah yeah speaking too much like that’s why I think they overthink it yeah I mean that’s what we do cuz we always overthink these no I’m not you it’s the gns it’s like it’s you know Personnel people oh let me I don’t know he’s 23 he’s reached his ceiling I mean come on who’s to say you can’t get better from 23 to 27 I’ve seen it a thousand times there’s a thousand guys that got better from 23 to 27 yeah I mean I was just befuddled and these I I just have to believe I know they’re wrong a lot but all there’s a lot of people wrong with if connect comes out to be a player 14 people wrong I guess GM and front offices I don’t know we’ll see he looks like a plug-and play guy look he comes out and gives you 15 minutes and this was a a dud of a draft Yeah brutal right like dud of a and you know listen it was funny I was talking to my buddy boo and and bu sent a text in the group and he goes I watch a thousand college games and he’s like I know half these kids I’m the same you know like I love colge I know like like we w we like you like you check in right yeah like oh I check in here and there I watch the tournament we watch like regular season Pack 12 you know Horizon league right you’re watching Drake right like you know what I mean I’ll watch it all like you like whatever it’s B like sports like we’re W like you’re seeing kids see whole thing and you’re like so you’re plugged in man it was like watching the major league baseball draft no idea these kids are right well now you got to watch Euro basketball cuz three of the top 10 were from France I know listen I mean it’s International game listen in some ways the Euros have equaled us like they play the game differently forget and they have like all it used to be this right like USA basketball and in the Euros right and now it’s even man the way they play there’s watch look at Luca right like we talked about the other day about Luca going up against men right at at 17 years old yeah but what’s crazy about France thund right but what’s crazy about France is like besides Tony Parker all they produces big men like and just like obviously now all these athletes with handles but all these big men are just lanking athletic it’s crazy what’s going on in France it’s all over Europe yeah you know I mean really it’s all over it’s it’s you know the game theame fascinating when you when you think about the bigness of the the world and the that you get those athletes I’ll tell you what cuz if the Sixers keep doing what they’re doing I’m become a Euro fan ditching the Sixers I oh God can he become a Donovan Mitchell Mitchell fit here would you be okay they traded for Mitchell I Mitch a couple seasons ago I’m not a Mitchell fan like what happened in Cleveland I’m I’m not a Donovan Mitchell I know I I I don’t think that works I don’t think it works yeah I I again I think he has a stink him to I I think their biggest issue is You Gotta Get Fit you the whole things got to fit together yeah you know I I don’t know what kind of optionality they have he talking about optionality last night I I I don’t know and and only he does because he’s the only one talking across the room I I I don’t and I got to tell you I at this point I’m I’m shook because I have not seen any proactive moves from Mor no like trade deadline look ahead I haven’t seen anything so I don’t know you obviously they need to they’re G to make moves to fill out the roster but I don’t know what’s next he does feel like a step behind of what the resol it does it feel again it just feels feels like a drunk yeah it’s just drunk making I’m serious when you see him he’s like he looks a mess he just puts on a Blazer over a ratty old t-shirt and he thinks he looks professional when he interview him it’s like come on l i don’t mind eclectic it’s like you know he was ectic you could paint your nails all right and you could do Tick Tock daners like McCain I don’t really care if you’re good at your job right then I don’t care you’re eclectic you you dance to your own beat and film it but whatever it is I don’t really care are you good at your job yeah because you know if he stays here and he has one bad game that’s what this whole entire city is gonna that’s another thing too he like he’s an Entertainer like you don’t have two million Tik Tok followers like McCain does and not being entertainer right like that’s his thing he’s got more followers than the team does right no it’s it’s unbeli think about that and and that is also something that you need to take into account right like this town doesn’t have patience all right right now with the Sixers no there’s no patience with this team none there’s no patience and I’m not saying he’s a Ben Simmons but we’ve seen the guy here who wants to be an Entertainer and a celebrity more than a basketball player so we’re a little weary of that well of course and so what do you think is going to happen like he seems like a nice kid like God bless super happy Maxi Vib SM joyful right God God bless him but there’s a lot of pressure like you’re going to come in here and nobody wants to see you dancing after another loss like people don’t have that patience if this listen you got two titles on your belt you know dance away right people love it like danceing all my own right like you know all of a sudden they’ll do it people be doing it with them but you kick it out the second round nobody’s looking for tick tock Sensations I listen I hear that’s another issue that we don’t even that we haven’t even broached about about the the that sort of pressure that’s going to be out there all right we got to tell you about a couple things let me tell you about Dr Andy Cohen sleep healthy PA Dr Andy Cohen so he has stopped the Snore his mission in life is to help

crazy it’s you know it’s funny I have to admit right so watching the draft and and I I was getting bored with the draft it was I’ll be honest with you I I didn’t really care for it I didn’t as a product I usually love drafts like I love drafts oh yeah and I was getting bored with it and I was clicking my buddy T was over we were clicking back and forth Mexico Venezuela the the and it was thrilling yeah yeah they’re fun story it was actually thrilling you like underdogs Venezuela yeah I mean they were it was actually it was it was interesting like it was actually I actually found that like like fun losos well listen for everyone in Philadelphia you got to ro for Venezuela because our own bro Martinez from the union represented breaking up fights listen that’s that’s awesome I you I have a buddy of mine Oscar who’s uh from Mexico huge right like and it was like a big deal dude it’s bad over there and talk about P passionate fans those Mexican fans are super passionate and they’re losing their minds I I got to tell you I and again I was clicking back and forth and I I don’t know what it was what I guess it’s familiarity with the NBA draft and and you know g-league when you got g-league guys going you never a lot of the foreign kids what why is it you know know it’s fascinating is even in Philadelphia uhuh the NFL draft I is huge right and I love college football I I watch it all I consume it constantly I write notes during the season players I like just so I can go back you know after the season look at them and I know what guys I want to see tape the whole thing we we don’t we’re not a college football town yet we love the draft why is that we love the NFL yeah it’s football the NFL does a great job of making it feel like a big event almost like an awards show like an Academy Awards they make it seem larger than life it’s fun they have like players come out and make pick sometimes there’s always familiar faces I don’t know the NFL draft just feels like a giant party I’m not a huge college football guy so once the top 10 picks are going I don’t know anyone but I still watch now it’s different first two rounds of the NFL draft now it’s different so you watch you watch day two you yeah NFL draft yeah and you’re not a that’s right you’re not a big college football guy no but I’m curious who the birds take who the other conf division team what are you doing you’re you’re you’re Googling players yeah yeah but the other problem too is this one had done stuff for the NBA cuz I mean like you out outside the lottery picks like these players you don’t know them and most of the time they’re not even going to be in the league for a long time the one in done has really hurt just the basketball product as a whole like the these players you can’t connect with at least with the NFL draft you know some of the top prospects because these guys have played at least three to four years in college football these NBA these NBA kids either they’re coming from Europe or no one’s really watching Euro basketball to be honest or it’s a one and D kid that you really just don’t know about I think back to like the MB draft like all of us were watching Wiggins all of us were watching Jabari Parker Joel embiid but these kids like Jabari Parker another Duke the Barcelona great now he’s a star over in Barcelona the Jabari Parkers yeah he was horrible it does feel like also like dud so hit or miss with that one guys who come out of that program think about it Oka four oh r that name yeah I mean there’s a ton of them there’s a million of them there’s there’s a million there’s a million Duke kids that don’t make it become average they’re just players you know what it is they’re well coached right yeah great system because they’re well coached like that you know that that’s the kind of that’s what makes them you know quality college ball play and they also have a certain I think M Mo I think they’re smart they get smart kids like you look at those kids that go through that program they’re always intell highly intelligent smart kids make great role players that they do I I think but Kentucky’s the opposite right yeah Kentucky you get just pure talent What’s actually shows you about calry sometimes I go he gets he has loaded Point talent and he can’t win year every year he’s got three of the top six high school kids going into his program every year maybe and he turns them into way better Pros than the Duke one guys it’s tough as a coach he actually he actually I think coaches and tells the kids when he’s recruiting he’s his job is to get them to the next level in fact I’ve had him on before a couple times yeah and he talks about that about his messaging is listen he sold out for the one done where Jay never wanted to do the one and done he sold out for the one and done and say listen I I you could come here this is your pit stop I’ll May I’ll prepare you and prep you for the next level and they become great players now you want those it’s kind of hard to win that way because of the youth and because you’re the roster the the the turnover is so great that it’s hard to get into a rhythm I I remember when he was talking about Maxi when he came out of the program Maxi um he had said he had told Maxi to focus on the floater and he’s like you’re going to need this shot at the next level and it’s become an effective part of Maxi’s game the NBA level and I think that’s in a lot of part because of CER Perry seeing what the player needs to excel as opposed to what his team needs to do to win a championship and that’s how he gets these players he’s always competitive but he he goes into a room of a kid with their folks and it’s like yo I can get these kids at the next level and make them good players yeah I I I guess you know going back to it there it’s interesting they’re making this a two-day draft like who’s watching tonight you there there’s no like football makes sense right football the football draft the NFL draft is what it is because you have so many positions you have your roster size is so big the NBA felt like that now back in the day they have eight rounds or 10 rounds in the NBA when we were kids that’s crazy yeah it was insane but if you don’t have a first round that’s compelling how do you br do it split it up hear like who’s watching the second round that I I don’t know people can you even gamble on the second round I don’t know I can’t imagine anyone’s here this will make you feel good ESPN agrees with you big chunk of teams passed on selecting connect including Miami and Philadelphia both of those teams seem to be in a win now mode and could clearly use a shooter score in his mold he’s the most prolific scorer in the draft not named Zack Edy averaging a robust 28 points per 40 minutes despite entire defense is planning on slowing him down on a nightly basis okay thank you thank you ESPN so and and Ed scores because he was so massive and bigger than everybody yes this kid scores he’s six five six four and a half and he’s scoring with just like they said just like I said earlier them blitzing you yep like are you kidding me picking rolls you know what you’re you’re right about conect for one thing Nick nurse has always been the wing Whisperer so why not get him the prototypical wing that he always molds dude I I don’t know again there has to be a trade if you’re going to there has to be a trade coming something has to be a trade please something something oh my God has to be a trade all right we have the Brain Brain Brain the [Applause] brainer hello brain good morning good good morning my friend how are you today good buddy how’s Oregon you’re golfing in Oregon is that correct yeah abandoned Dunes uh it’s going to be chilly here I’m not going to lie to you it’s going to be cold very very cold but I’m looking forward to it you feel for him I know my heart goes out to you all right roughing the elements in in lovely Oregon I deserve I that let’s get to the dra let’s let’s get to the draft you are a I love talking to you for sports all right forget the fact that you pick winners and all the other stuff that’s why people need to know you but you’re a great Sportsman explain to me how you pass up dton connect you know it’s funny well my entire trip has been ruined because the last 15 hours my son has been bitching to me the Sixers ruin their franchise and because he wanted D connect very badly you know what’s interesting I’m going to say this I happen to really like and it happened to be like one of the guys I actually saw play a decent amount was McLean I actually like him I know he’s small I know I I I act but I actually think the guy is a phenomenal shooter and I actually think he could be a decent player now did I want dalon connect yes I never thought everything I all the Intel I got by the way was he was going to go worst case top 10 like that was like his his floor or his ceiling depending how you look at it uh but probably top six to eight area I from a gambling point of view his you know his over unders were way lower I was stunned I want him to get dton connect the only thing I could think of Anthony is you know when sometimes a guy just gets labeled maybe because he wasn’t a high uh sought out guy coming out of high school an older Prospect sometimes those players unfairly get okay he’s I said the same thing 15 minutes ago they get pigeon yeah they get pigeon hold and unfairly treated first of all it’s funny as I said Anthony me and you are very similar in so many ways how we look at these things um I’m not anti- analytics and I understand age is a part but Anthony you you don’t remember it used to be when we were growing up everyone went to college for four years if you were 23 coming out of college it wasn’t like doesn’t mean you suck it’s now it means you suck and at least in terms of how a lot of people view you like you’re you’re you’re a grandfather at 23 and I’m like whoa you wait now again obviously you have the Danny Watkins thing with the Eagles from way back when I get that but my point being is I I think it was uh too much of an overreaction on his age uh he looked like he was a great player and it shouldn’t that be what it’s about but I actually do like again as much as I was sad about the pick um because I thought there was a great chance to get another score which they clearly needed I maybe I’m maybe I’m just crazy but I actually I really did like um mlan I think he is a okay so let me ask you this all right because I agree with you let let me ask you this I I agree with you that M uh MCC could shoot he could shoot it he could fill it up how does she play with maxi you have you have a 62 and a half combo guard right who doesn’t play defense who’s your best player and then you bring in a 61 and a half combo guard really more of a two guard that doesn’t play defense how does that work I look I let me make this clear me if I was General Manager I want to stress this at the highest level Thon connect would have been I would have been running not walking to the podium let me make that clear so I I’m two different things here okay so again I agree with you fully but if if connect had not been there which again I get he was so it’s stupid no but I I forget about connect because I agree with you I’m just asking you well not gonna play more than I don’t see it doesn’t make sense to me to draft McCain even though listen I think he could fill it up but Maxi is GNA play 44 minutes T night you can’t play them for long stretches together whoa whoa whoa whoa okay he’s going to play 44 minutes T night in the postseason right but but in the in the regular season he probably going to play like 36 right 37 I’m talking about the playoffs this is a team that’s trying to win right yeah listen I I get it but here’s the thing Anthony here’s the thing at least you have a guy that how big how tall is the guy from the Knicks um the kid from West Virginia McBride how tall is he miles McBride he’s like six1 six feet you know right okay now let me let’s be again when that guy came in the game he scared the you know what out of me he always I she thought he was a really effective player um and he’s not tall and he a different kind of player a ro player who who gives you X out like McBride would have two games that were really good and then he would disappear for three games you’re not you’re you’re not [ __ ] to draft that you need somebody better than Miles McBride and again you can’t play with maxi you can’t have a you can’t have a back court that small that doesn’t play defense well me Anthony I mean do you I’m curious like I’d love to did did PE again I’ve been out here and I didn’t get to see did anyone ask him that direct question I know you would you would ask a good question like that he said he was his top he was top 10 on his board I saw that I saw that look again look I I I I agree with you but again I also look I’m GNA try to be fair here I’m gonna try to be fair here when Julio Oka for was taking over Chris STS porzingis quote unquote everyone said Oka for over porzingis I’m just like right like and obviously the uh nobody said that every like pingis but the fact was pingis didn’t want to play here so okay okay I thought it was but most people didn’t most if I’m going back just I I in fact I even invented away I to say porzingis like we wanted porzingis and we saw it was a thing on the show forget about right I’ve been wrong a million I wanted Ben Simmons so I was wrong a million times right it’s not even about that it if you just looking to analyze the situation brain it doesn’t make sense I try to look at the fair I I’m giving them till Monday to trade the kid oh well I was gonna give him though Tuesday but no I uh no listen to start a free agency there’s gonna be a lot of I know that I know that no I I don’t I don’t think that’s what they’re going to do though and I’m I’m going to tell you why first of all again there was a lot of smoke I’m sure you read these things like I do where everyone seemed to be projecting Jared McLean like if you did like a and I looked at every I’m sick I look at all these Ms he was clearing away the guy that was projected to go to Philadelphia more than any other player by far I mean he was what does that mean it means I think that there would been obviously it gotten out somehow whether it was Mory whether it was nurse whether it was someone else in the organization it leak somewh so that here here’s my problem and I still don’t have an answer to it how they how does Maxi and McCain play together how do they play together I mean listen I mean listen I guess defensively we’ll see how mlan does and and see if he can if he can handle going against bigger stronger players than him College he was not he did not appear to be an A+ Defender no no it’s fny that was one thing that annoyed me when in the post in the press conference uh Mor is like uh yeah he really improved the one thing I will say is I actually thought he sucked defensively and he really really improve so did I I’m trying to be nice yeah it’s like it’s like if I go from two I love M but mie plays no defense either no I understand that but listen in the NBA and Anthony we get it it’s a scoring League look the bottom line is it is what it is this is what they’re now do I don’t think there’s a trade Anthony because to me if you sampled and I could be wrong on this the other 30 general managers I would think 27 of them 90% of them would have taken connect I think Mory was probably one of the three that liked McLean better I at least that’s what I think so that’s why I don’t know you’re trying to win like again I wouldn’t be crazed about the pick if this off seon wasn’t so crucial right like again like if you’re looking for a developmental kid you go the kid could shoot like I I’ll tell you firsthand kid’s a great shooter man McCain is a terrific shooter and if you’re looking at you know you’re one these teams and you’re looking to build they need to win now you have a finite amount of assets between money and picks you can’t afford to go try to get a kid who’s gonna play you know 12 minutes 16 minutes a game in the regular season and five minutes a game in the postseason yeah listen I I’m agreeing with you again I’m agreeing with you uh I I was very surprised let me ask you a question then anth I have one question for you though I and I know he was but if wasn’t there if he wasn’t there just PR any went 15 who would you have taken I I I I’ll be honest with you I I wanted to trade the pick the whole time okay fair enough I wanted to trade the pick i i in fact even if KCK was there I want to trade the pick because you’re not winning with rookies rookies don’t D you don’t win everybody loves youth right we’re in love with youth in this country you know who wins veterans win veterans yeah 100% veterans win and in that League men win it’s all veterans yeah you’re 100% right you know I wanted to trade to pick the whole time now when KCK is there I go well I actually like KCK because he is mature he’s 23 he could do a million things on the floor like you know he could flat out score it’s legit you and I talked about him a million times during the tournament about how teams would Blitz him and attack him and all he would do was score I thought he was the second best player in college last year and the other guy just physically more imposing yeah listen again I would I would love Yeah well Z well yeah well Zack e was a different kind of player but he was the most effective player in college basketball I would argue that but what I’m just saying is I really would like to hear someone press Mory on what you just asked i’ love to com I love you know if he came if you got him on your show like he what he I’d love to hear what he would how I gotest because it is a great question yeah it’s a great question I and now they’re doing a day too so I guess you you know we’ll see I I I gotta give him by way you’re wor about the NBA draft who’s watching I I thought the same I’m glad you we always think the same I was thinking myself this is not the NFL dude you know like you know this is not the NFL well it’s like well the NFL does it so we could do it well you know there’s other guys in Mr Fitness competitions I’m not in the Mr fitness competition right right because someone else is in it I’m in a different species right how the they’re NBA’s comparing themselves to the NFL with this is embarrassing because even me and you who are big Geeks with this stuff it’s like the second round of the NBA to me is not I mean I don’t know it’s not comp you especially for the mass audience that doesn’t even know the first round guys like we watch we watch my buddy boo we say the same thing we watch A million college games right you watch it more than I do because that’s what you do and yeah yeah you look at the first round between the foreign kids and the g kids and the youth like you don’t half of them it’s become like soccer or hockey right where you’re just like who’s this guy who’s that guy who’s this guy you know what I’m saying yeah like sorry my my my thing’s falling here but but it’s exactly like that and you’re just like you know what what what are you what are you doing uh it’s become very very challenging uh in terms of I apologize but this my stand is is a little messed up here but um I agree with you Anthony uh 100% that it just I don’t what they’re trying to accomplish but I guess that’s what they’re doing and we’ll I don’t know we’ll see what the ratings are I’m curious I hope bet if they just done it for the one thing you would had more people probably are watching round one stick with round two but we’ll see what they’re you know we’ll see how it goes out all right uh at Brad’s bet we don’t see you there you go Brads bestest bets.com on Twitter X and Brad’s bestest bets.com uh you got to check him out what do you got today anything it’s a late day today I got a couple things Anthony one thing listen you’ll be like you’ll like this one Philly’s with the uh run line today minus 137 right now in Parks it’s actually like the best number you can get in the world it actually got it open at 110 in the overnight line I know it would never hold I know it would never hold but even lay 137 I like Anthony again what do we always talk about when I’m doing a run line we want a team we think could score six plus runs Philly should against Rogers in my opinion and a pitcher that should be able to hold their opponent to two or less runs I feel confident Zack Wheeler best pitcher in the world in my opinion should be able to hold the marins team to two or less runs laying a137 isn’t as cheap as the doll tenant was overnight I get it but I really feel like the Phillies the way they’re playing Anthony the way the Marlins are playing this this has to feel to me Anthony almost like a football game when you have a two touchdown favorite right you just they just you know this to me just seems like that kind of game where the Phillies should win like 71 72 all day yeah all day yeah and uh Anthony Jack flarity again you remember he was at one point CU like going back five years ago the upand cominging Superstar pitcher for the Cardinals looked like he was to be great has really struggled says of since but this year the Tigers give him credit they signed this guy 108 strikeouts in 85 Innings Anthony uh ER in the twos has been absolutely terrific going against uh David Daniels basically a rookie guy from the minor leagues coming up I laid a half run on the five inning line laying 113 because again Tigers no interest in betting them for a nine inning game at all uh but for a five ining game sure and I’ll lay a half run there I know they don’t score a ton of runs but again when this guy and when sco are on the mound they’re a good team uh I think they’ll beat a really bad Angels team through five innings uh and then aanga of the Cubs Anthony over five and a half strikeouts he’s gone over that eight of his last 10 times uh Giants not a bad matchup at all uh and plus we’re getting plus 108 right now on the parkite we’re getting odds on something I think we should be laying odds in uh give me a mango over five n strikeouts I like it there he is the brain listen enjoy hit him straight today buddy appreciate you Budd I’ll see you tomorrow all right buddy there he is Brad fineberg the brain uh it is the grind presented by the BET

in typical Philadelphia fashion we’re butchering his name already dude it’s mlan or McCain nobody knows Brad saying mlan in the chat room it’s half and half dude I I was about I swear to God I was about to say the same thing I was about to go this Jared McCain all right it’s not like mlan Bruce wills’s character all right joh mlan yeah this is great Jared McCain and I’m hearing him say mlan 100 times it’s McCain M myself I had to look it up make sure dude I I I was thinking the same thing going even JP did you get he you said m i it doesn’t matter cuz he’s getting traded okay I don’t even know what his name is so we hour brought you by Right Aid right we we why do we butcher name I don’t know we do we butcher every freaking name it’s uncanny the best is the the Latino names Castellanos yeah yeah yeah it’s yeah I know cast casos c i get it some people have never had Spanish CL they don’t know the double L’s or a y sound but M we we’ve done it a million times yeah a million times I mean from dner you know dner oh alsan Jeff no Jeff that was another thing we like to say Jeff not Jeffrey oh my God we had S’s and plurals and L’s all right oh God this pick is just having aneurism today I’m I’m unnerve by it it makes no sense like Dev Milano is right we can all say Mee Cav though yeah I Gotta Lose for it I I had a conversation where it was funny uh is is Devon there I don’t want to keep okay good I want to get them up here uh I’ll bring this up to you in the clubhous later ray.com uh check it out nearest location get all your goods they underrated like you get all your Pharmacy the pharmacists are the best I love them there underrated the right a snacks strong items the popcorn I like the popcorn popcorn popc I’m down with very good all right let’s get uh from our all phl6 show amazing does a great job all the time last night killing it slaying it he is the great Devon given uh I had to bend his ear today I had to call him to bend his ear uh let’s start Devon uh he doesn’t know what he’s getting into no he does I I think you feel the same way right I mean that pick EXP explain to me how Maxi and McCain fit together because I don’t say it they don’t and the the one piece that that we looked at that I we tried to try to rationalize it a little bit last night and and when you called me earlier I didn’t say this one to you so I’ll say it here now with you and the guys sitting there I asked the question to the guys as Rich Hoffman brought up could he be more like a Landry shamet type in that type of role I brought up Fred Van vet with Kyle Lowry with Nick nurse in Toronto the build was different he was more stocky Fred Van B and known for his defense but we have seen Nick nurse play two guards in his lineup and play them uh play them a lot the only difference in this case is these guys were more offensive oriented where those were 2A players and in fredry was strong tough right play defense not these two play defense yeah yeah and Maxi does compete he’s gotten better there’s still room to grow jery he a Dro defensively he is not he is not he is not so so yeah that’s where the puzzling part came in and with the dton connect piece also when you intertwine that where he just continued to drop and drop and drop and you’re looking at it and say okay you didn’t expect him to be on the board where is he on Nick on on Daryl Mor’s board uh in in the uh in their in their draft room and and how does it go from there so that was the puzzling part and when it wasn’t someone like uh Isaiah ker or another Wing that had a little more size you know exactly where going and they’re going with the shooting here Anthony and they’re going with the shooting they’re going with the the the fact that he’s been dubbed as a winner he’s a competitor and he just knows how to play the basketball he impacts and even as a small guard averaging five rebounds to go along with the 16 points while he was at Duke shooting that 41% those are things that intrigued them in my in my opinion and in hearing a little bit of what Daryl muray had to say other than that of course it’s Maxi together on the floor time out yeah time out all right cuz let’s stop right where you just said because I agree with you like like listen I think the king could shoot right like I think the king could play the reason why the board is the most absurd Thing by drafting by the board of the NBA as opposed to the NFL where you have 22 positions that you need to fill and not including special teams is you got to fit you need fit on your team especially a team like the Sixers who are trying to win now like you’re trying to build a team now to win so if you if you just go I listen I think the kid could play I think the kid you know he maybe he a winner I don’t know right I don’t think he’s a point guard I think he’s more of a two guard than a point guard uh I think the kid could shoot the lights out and if he can get off the shot then God bless he could really maybe fill it up but the problem is again you have Maxi and you can’t vinc me that you can play the even Mory said well they’re not going to play together at the same time so now let’s fast forward to the to the playoffs okay well Maxi is gonna play 44 minutes plus in the playoffs so where does that leave your number one pick yeah and when you talk and when you talk about fit that’s where we go to the that’s where we go to the dton connect part of it where he just continued to fall at he’s 6’5 yes he’s 23 but so what the guy can play basketball and he Cano shoot and that’s one if we’re focusing on the shooting with jerck McCain let’s also focus on the shooting that dton connect has and while he may be a little bit slower he can put the ball on the floor and he can finish at the room as well he has that mid-range game defensively also a question even with that bigger size as 65 however you you’re talking about fit that fit was much better in this particular situation shooting yeah shooting come from anywhere with McCain and connect with Joel andem on the floor but the other part as you mentioned is you’re about to give your other guy who’s 6’2 a Max contract of $200 million who’s going to play 40 minutes a night exactly exactly and I look at connect and I go you know what he’s tremendous athlete he’s he’s a kid that I mean you see him sky like he can he can he can move he can get up right and then you look at you look at he at Tennessee I don’t care he’s 23 like you I look at him I go at Tennessee he was their best player he got blitzed every night he got blitzed every night and he’s still dropping 30 a game like are you kidding me like give me the kid that got blitzed at Big Time at Big Time college basketball and still found a way to score that translates to the league especially for a team that needs to win now like listen we got no patience you’re a sixer fan you you’re done you’re at your limit this is it the glass is full there’s no more patience you got to build a team that can win now compete now and God bless the kid right Maine but he’s not a fit yeah it’s a it’s a tough fit and it’s going to be a tough sell it’s really gonna be difficult and sure look and he’s going to go to summer league and he’s going to go out there and he’s probably going to drop around 16 to 20 on average for this basketball team right he’s going to show some really good things but how’s that going to translate to the NBA and fitting next to tyres Maxi because Maxi is not going to be out there on the floor sure he might be out there with Turk Smith and give you a little bit to look at however when he gets to coming here training camp preseason he may do some things how’s he going to get on the floor and get on the floor and and be an impactful play on the floor when because there are going to be times where you want to see all right you drafted the kid he’s on this team let me see put him out there with your best players and see how it works out and then you might get your answer and it may not be the answer that you like well ask you this is there a way that is is there a trade in the works because the other aspect is you you you only have a finite amount of assets to build your team to win now yes Mor’s not dumb all right he knows he’s got limited assets and to waste one of those assets on a kid that doesn’t fit or using him as a part-time role doesn’t doesn’t make sense I I’m shocked they they didn’t trade to pick forget about kect I forgot I’m shocked they didn’t trade the pick when when they had a chance like I I guess they didn’t get any offers but could there still be a trade that’s about to pop I’m giving them till Monday to see what this thing can of look like well yeah Sunday it starts free agency 6 PM so we’ll see about that one but yeah there’s a possibility as you know there’s a possibility of that and we have leaned more towards the Brandon Ingram name because of everybody else that is now falling off the board that if you go get Brandon Ingram could he Jared McCain be a part of that deal where he is uh sent to New Orleans in a package like that could he be on the Move could that happen could he go elsewhere in some other potential deal Chicago Zack leavine just thr a name out there not saying that that that’s the one but yeah there’s a there’s a possibility that that’s the case because as you said it’s not a great fit here dmore is a smart guy yes the guy is a winner he can shoot he’s tough he can do all those things saw all the stuff that Jay bill has said about him but the fit is tough to just sit there and and and grasp onto that and say okay I don’t have any other questions because the guy can shoot the basketball the fit is tough you wonder if there is a second move come forth coming yeah yeah uh let’s get into this for a second because again we understand the gravity of this off seon and it just got the chasm between the favorites I’ll use that as plural because of cousin and uh the Sixers has widened dramatically because now it’s not just Boston but it’s now the Knicks who land your cousin Mel Bridges uh who uh wind up resigning yesterday OG anobi they look nasty they look really nasty yeah so that’s why I bring up the Brandon Ingram name it may not be the one the first one that rolls off for a lot of people but as you pointed out the questions now with Paul George the uncertainty with Jimmy Butler in Miami where it looks like he’s probably going to stay in Miami where’s the next best thing that you go to because things are starting to slim out with o anobi now resigning Pascal Sean sakam also staying in Indiana and now with kale going to New York where do you go uh Lowry Markin is probably going to cost you just as much if you weren’t G willing to give up as much for Mel in this deal are you going to give that much up for Lowry Marketing in a Utah jazzz deal probably not I would when you would they probably you you probably would have done that for Mel too but they didn’t and that’s why I’m saying that you probably won’t get Lowry marketing so now you go to these other names Brandon Ingram Zack LaVine maybe a few others that may come available do you look at Demar de rozan on a maybe two-year deal at a balloon kind of payment to look at that where you’re not giving up any assets and that and then you probably keeping Jared McCain unless he’s in a separate deal but do you go that route now because of that and then when you talk about that and you look at Boston you need to be able to also defend those guys so who are those people who are those people on your team you have the big fella behind you he’ll clean up a lot of your mess but on a perimeter you need some size there that that’s going to do that so names that we’ve thrown out there on our show Naji Marshall from New Orleans who’s an unrestricted free agent a guy that hey is this his time to pop Atlantic City native is it his turn to become one of those players that you see that just takes that next step in his career like we’ve seen from herb Jones certainly with his team drick Jones Jr being a big role player there for the the Dallas Mavericks and that same type of position where when you get to the postseason you need to be able to defend these players Donovan Mitchell Jimmy Butler and cly Boston and now New York with the players that they have you have to be able to shut these guys down or slow them down as best as possible so you’re also going to need those types of player to complete and fill out this roster yeah I I uh I mean they have a lot of like just to fill out the roster to have a lot of work to do and now have five players on their roster including McCain who’s unsigned of course but Paul Reed Ricky counts to the fourth and be Maxi and and now Jared McCain you have to fill out roster Is it wise to invest the $4 million in into of the pick uh well there were the the other option too a last night was maybe trade down and maybe acquire some more assets and do that but is it wise to do that I I would say it’s okay just because they have so much cap space and they can have as much as $64 million as Derrick always talks about on our show and he said it on your show as well that they have so much cap space that that’s probably not a not a not a bad thing there and when you look at maybe as we include Demar D rozan in this conversation you give him an overpay maybe then yeah 4 million is not that bad when you’re looking at possibly giving Demar de rozan let’s say a two-year deal at somewhere around $60 million for for that very reason so I would say it’s not a bad it’s not a bad thing to have that four million in the first round pick on you roster for that case I I I know this is uh very unlikely but there’s a lot of uh rumors swirling around KD and you know the fact that he may become available for for whatever reason I’m not buying that one and I understand it’s reported by the great people like Adrian wowski friend of yours and and uh the one of the bests if you want to argue that there and and doing what he does but something and look now everything trailing Kevin Durant you can say why would you not believe that because of asking out of uh Golden State and and Brooklyn and now and Phoenix would it be anybody surprised that he does it again but the relationship he has with e Oka from their time together in Brooklyn for that short time before udoka took over in Boston so that’s real and and and the fact that he does move on that’s real but I I just and I just don’t see it in Matt ishia doing everything that he did to put that team together he’s not getting rid of Kevin Durant right now in my opinion and and that’s why I’m not I’m not buying that when I’m leaning more towards 75% he’s staying in Phoenix I’m not even looking at at that as an option yeah yeah I I I could be wrong but just not I I kind of feel I feel it’s highly unlikely to that’s why I preface it but that is kind of making the rounds um that so we had to bring it up uh the the other aspect is the uh you mentioned d rozan uh someone else told me go you know Klay Thompson like to get which you know Maxi and Clay I mean I don’t see see that um it’s it it’s a lot of slim pickings is kind of where where we’re at like and and how you do it and then it comes back to the other thing like how long can you wait for him be like how many times can you punt down the road when it just doesn’t make sense to do that with Joelle and his age I don’t know how much more he of that he will take I know you talk about the age and all but how much more until he’s just saying all we’re not we’re clearly not doing anything you may have tried but you did not succeed so now I have to look elsewhere so that is the question and you look at them and you say they window really and even with maxi and the the the the pathway that he has for so many years you’re really looking at two to three years with Joel embiid and trying to win right now so if you’re trying to do that you really have to you really have to make sure that you absolutely get this done this summer when you put everything together the way that you did last offseason didn’t do much at the deadline getting buddy healed yes but it was all about C flexibility this summer summer is here D rozan all right that’s great but anobi Bridges uh cakam off the board Denny ABIA who was a name that we talked about that was really interesting on a really good contract in Washington unsure if they would even look to move him he goes for pick 14 and Malcolm Brogden and you know and I gotta tell you like that’s the kind of player they need yes so why were you not now you don’t have the player on your roster to match like Malcolm Brogden in terms of the salary maybe it was Paul re I don’t know but you got to get involved in that that that’s a nice one and that may not have been the splash but that’s just a piece to start things off and that’s listen that’s how you build a team like we talk about with the Knicks like and what how they built it Boston and they built it he’s one of those players that is a good role player like that’s the kind of player you want yeah so things are starting to fall off the board and when you do that when you have that you have to go do something now you just wonder when you do something you’re in kind of panic mode and you’re just going out there to do something just to do it are you going to put yourself in a bad spot now you do have Maxi and embiid so anytime you have those two you’re gonna win games now the question is are you going to be able to build the right people is the Rose in the right fit I like him more than than than Kyle and Derek do on the show I like him a little bit more and of course that’s a lot of the three-point valume the fact that he lives in the same area that Joel and B does in that mid post uh mid-range area so how would that work together but my thing is always hey guys have never played with a player like joelan beid at that size so he’ll create a lot of opportunities for you so I’m more intrigued by that certainly the Brandon Ingram piece not as much the Zack LaVine side of things you mentioned Klay Thompson he can’t move so I I I don’t know how I would get on board with that one even with the shooting uh again embiid is different than even Steph just because of the fact that you’re talking about a low post player that’s going to command a lot of attention ball swings to you you’re going to get some good looks but man they’re they’re running out of names unless there’s something at that we just don’t know about yet I keep I keep hoping that that’s it go ahead Greg I mean Devon you know way more than probably all of us combined do you have any hope knowing the current landscape that there are moves possible that can keep them competitive and get them past the second round of the playoffs well again VG they’re always going to be competitive because of him beating Maxi even when you’ve had other guys and the 50 is the standard with this team in terms of the regular season to your point that second round is always their P Plateau they cap at that at that at that second round that’s where the other stuff comes into play but then we go back and then you start making me think and go back to when me and Aunt will be yelling at each other about game six in 20 in the 23 playoffs because we speak about Tobias Harris and and and DeAnthony melt and George Nang all these players on the and you had James Harden not not playing all that great but he won you two games in that Boston series getting past that second round when they should have done that so I I say that and bring it all the way back to that because if depending on what this roster looks like those two are the ones that are going to spearhead the whole thing and you have a good coaching nurse and if you believe in him to do what we think he is as good at then they should still be able to be in that contention even with the improvement with New York maybe even somebody like Cleveland where they have a new coach and Kenny ainson that get the best out of them where you look at this sixer team and say whatever they build out because let’s go back to even this season when DeAnthony Melton was healthy they had a top five offensive rating in the NBA top five that’s DeAnthony Melton out there on the floor with Nick baton so your offensive players are Tobias Harris Tyrese Maxi and Joel MV so if you put those right pieces around and and and Daryl m is able to go out there and find the right fits and bring back some of the the Sixers that were won last season’s roster I would say yes but again we just haven’t seen it yet and some of the players that we liked are now in other uniforms and you thought that they would have a chance to do that so I would say yes but it’s hard because as Anthony said your patience is now up to here right and and that’s and that’s tough to convince others that that is in fact the case what’s your confidence level with myy right now that’s a tough one man because why why why were you there’s I have no confidence in him right now yeah because why were you unable what has he done listen I love the guy right I go all right let’s see what he can do let’s see what he can do I gave him the benefit of Doubt with Harden and he got saddled with Ben Simmons right the whole thing he made the right move with Harden by not giving him a long-term deal but I just pass trade deadline he didn’t do anything he wasn’t proactive that way he waited till the end of the what’s happened now and he got he has till Monday in my eyes or Sunday night yeah yeah he he really does he does this is his off season you created the cap space you kept talking about it this is his offseason to get something done to prove to sixer fans that at least going into the start of the Season forget about next February’s trade deadline going into the start of this season that you are still competing with Boston and New York and it’s not just a competing thing it’s no I feel like I can beat this basketball team on any given night most importantly when we get to the next spring and we’re talking about second round and possibly third round anthy you’re exactly right here’s the other truth of the matter right the whole thing’s about a title right and I know you I know you can’t just go from zero to a title and because of all the mistakes of the past that even that mostly preate Mory the truth of the matter is they are light years away from Boston right now and New York New York is better New York has passed them that’s with two great players like two Cornerstone players that have beaten Maxi the Knicks are so much deeper the Knicks are are just a terrific I love what they did it kills me yeah I I know it did and even the anobi part just the cherry on top and we’ll see what happens with Isaiah hartenstein who there’s reports out there that he might even look to take a little bit less just to stay and and and Nick Claxton maybe set the market with that hundred million do deal that he signed with the Nets yesterday so yeah their depth is is unbelievable right now uh they have an all NBA player and Jaylen Brunson of course making the moves that they did and the Sixers don’t have any depth because they don’t have a team right now so you said it myy has until Monday to change your mind where you’re saying okay I can take a little bit of a step back look at the situation on paper right now and say all right he did the job but what is that job a because I’m saying all these names we mentioned D rozan we mentioned Ingram I don’t know who you like now with the remaining people that we’ve discussed so I I look at it and I go you like I I have I I kind of side with you with d rozan right because I think those two can figure it out I think and beid and D Roa can figure it out and D Roa can flat out score right I mean the the problem though is what’s left it’s like ingredients you’re want to make a fine meal right I I kind of got like so so ingredients right I got I have two great like stars right but everything else I got half rotten vegetables right like I’m looking around I’m going how am I going to make a whole meal with what with with what I have and I like to Rose it but is he going to put me over the top of the Nick of the Celtics right I mean that’s why I go I I would go all in on marketing because I with those three together they fit so well if with marketing can be in my head all right now all of a sudden I think I got something at least I’m so much I’m so good in those three spots and those fit that I can fill around and you know bring back Batum and I can and I can take a run at it and then let’s see what happens at the in the spring because we know things change with injuries and everything else sure yeah yeah so you’re at the you need to convince me more and and and look I’m with you on the championship piece I know so so much this season where it was like all right they lost to New York it was frustrating it was New York that was another piece uh last year with the Boston part plays a part in it and and all of that but uh this team right now man they’re in that we have to win win mode at this moment so they do I mean that’s where you you have to take swings and look at what New York did they had they took a swing and they took a swing at the trade deadline with Anon noi believing that they could resign him things got a little hectic there but they got it done and then they make the other move to add on it and they may not even be done because Julius Randle was on that roster do they do something that maybe fit their roster better if Randle leaves to bring in another All-Star so you’re looking at two Allstars there with Brunson and Randle but could Randle be out could they do something else where they do keep how fits with them I just think but he’s gonna net you something you know what I mean that so that’s my point is he’s going to bring you something back he’s probably going to bring you something back to go along that fits maybe better with the group that they have and then that’s it’s just going to frustrate more people o overall what Leon Rose does to put that Squad together by now move making an extra move to to move on from that that to injury you got two Philly guys running it Leon Rose and William Wesley with some Philly guys on their roster no doubt yeah yeah all over the roster all over the roster all over my brother we love you how first of all uh my question is your cousin Jack how’s Jack handling uh Cal going to New York knowing he’s such a big Boston fan um he’s good with it it was similar to if he had to be a sixer fan right because of the fact that the Boston side of things and then there’s his son side of things no matter what uniform what Jersey he’s putting on so I I was at I was at a I was at a show on Tuesday night when everything was going down and uh of course we text back and forth and the only thing we text back and forth is I’m texting him haa right I don’t need to say words he LOLs meet back a few times and that was the end of our conversation because that was that was what needed to be said uh so he’s he’s good text kale he got back to me yesterday morning and um everybody’s happy man uh his brother happy and we just I just trying to see it to your point now it’s the Nick thing Dereck said if if I see a Nick anything in this office you know right I didn’t wear anything Brooklyn in the office so we’re good I’m not wearing New York Nick stuff and I never thought I would even own any Nicks apparel but that that be the case now and I’ll be honest put put our put our loyalties aside our fell side not for nothing it’s we’re sports fans uniforms it’s pretty cool like that Kel’s playing at the Garden like the garden like the garden and it’s like and they’re they’re about to go on an epic run and he’ll be at the center the big stage I mean it’s pretty cool he’s played in that building many of times with the Big East games that they played right all those those non-conference games they would play and whatever classic it would be right at the Garden at the beginning in November of the Season Jack would always say this after a while and I know he wouldn’t mind me saying this to you especially when kale would go off in the garden all the time and and he he started calling it Mel Square Garden because that’s awesome man because of how much K would just go off in the building so yeah uh we’ll be there I’m sure we’ll be there a lot man it’s an easier it’s an easier Trek it was hard in Brooklyn man that you know trying to find parking even though we had the that play that bar Clay’s the worst yeah yes it was really difficult but even with us man you know we just like to take the train up to to the Garden when we would go see with Phoenix when they come we would go up there that way take the train I was working for the post I was still living in a I had a place in New York but I was still living in Philly like I was still home and I would and I used still love because I used to to I did a lot of MBA and so I would just jump on a train and you’re right you’re right in the garden like it’s right there you just walk out and you walk up the stairs and you’re right there and there was like a 132 train back to Philly and I used always get that train back home right the game yeah so that was our thing too when we would be there of course we wait for him after the game he’s taking a shower doing his postgame stuff and we’re like all right clock is ticking man we got we got a training catch and we only have a short amount of time because the next one is until like like five o’clock in the morning exactly yeah yeah so it’s gonna be interesting man it’s going to be fun I hate the Knicks always have um but I root for my cousin so I blood and um it’s going to be fun man like d West hit me up so we’ll be there together a lot I’m sure Brian Westbrook um many others hit me up because of the New York ties at a lot of people in that area so it’s going to be fun it’s going to be interesting I I it was difficult man to see it because when it when it first came across and of course you you know you hear a little stuff and but you would just wondered you just wondered if the Sixers would be in the mix and I understand the frustration with six fans about not getting involved in that and then going to Ral of the Knicks so I yeah of course I understand my brother what a pleasure man great great great all right we’ll talk to you soon great work by the way too just tremendous eight plus work four o’clock today for round two four o’clock

he’s dying today as well and I haven’t missed a Sixers game in 25 years wow and he’s this is not hyperbole he watches every there could be a football like I consider myself a like I I view these teams like this and I had this conversation this morning I can’t choose between them people go like Vince in fact Vince Pelini rgm Pelini says to me hey and I’m sorry cuz I was like Out of My Mind Over the pick like like what are you doing man what is this how are you building your team so we’re talking and he’s like I know how much you love the Sixers listening to you over the years you talk about when you’re a kid and the Dr J and I’m like he’s like are Sixers like you’re number one I go I’ll be honest with you because first I went well I was an eagle head right then I was like well I was a Philly’s head I was a flyers said like I treat these teams like they’re my kids yeah like I love my two sons evenly right like I have a different relationship with both of them I love them like with all my heart when you have kids JP someday God Spears right knock on wood uh when you have children you’re GNA realize that and it’s the most beautiful thing in the world that after you have won you say well I could never love anything like this person and then you have another one and you realize that you have an endless capacity to love yeah it’s a beautiful thing and I’ll tell you like my in my life those four teams I love those 14 I make no bats about it I’m wearing my Charlie Manuel shirt right he meanss home runs but I’m a homer right like I am looking Barrel chested too working out paying off working on those push-ups someone did mention you were looking swo earlier in hey they laugh at me cuz I calleded a gym around the corner the uh Retro Fitness yeah man looking good cuz Retro Fitness he’s like curling cinder blocks I come back I look like a wet M like horrible like oh like I I gotta go I trudge over there like I gotta go work out cuz otherwise I’ll be a blob um cuz I’m prone to blob um I love these teams man I agree with that I love them I I love them you know and I love them equally yeah like I don’t put one on the other I have a different relationship with each of the teams right you love them all that’s why I created a four for four right so the acean is all Sixers like he loves he like he’ll watch the Sixers over an Eagles game really over an NFL game like a playoff game like over an NFL game he’ll watch no he’ll watch his Sixers regular season game okay over oh yeah over playoffs over anything wow can not do that yeah no he does that like I I I don’t do that like I watch Like if it’s a Thursday night in October November and the Sixers are playing and there’s an NFL game I’ll watch the NFL game unless they’re playing the Celtics or like you know yeah like it’s kind of how my pecking my mind works right so I kind of do that he watches just basketball just basketball so so listen to this he says I’ve lost girls over basketball he’s not lying like like they go we’re going to go out and it’ll be like no I’m watch the Sixers game I’m 5050 on hanging it up on them wow and I’m dead serious he goes it’s true 100% 5050 I’m on hanging it up this is something that has been a part of his life that he has put above women he’s a a lifelong bachelor and above like that’s what he does loves basketball coaches it play like his whole life loves basketball and he’s like I’m done darl what are you doing it’s the eel effect yeah ter the eel effect you’re right V terrible like here’s the thing he’s made he’s being paid a brck truck yep of a salary yeah he got a brck truck to come here from Houston Ain got an extension I think oh yeah no he’s made a ton he’s a very wealthy man and Now’s the Time you got to do and I don’t know what he can do feels like he’s a step behind too CU it does feel that way I agree it feels like he’s step behind the rest especially the contenders I know in this league it feels that way unless he’s got something in his pocket and I’m praying he eel’s got a he’s got a move he’s got an ace in a hole he got it right like you can’t you don’t you don’t draft this kid without some type of plan I I he has to he has two eyes in his skull he’s got to know that Maxi and McCain do not go together there’s no way that you can put those two on the Flor stes I agree Randy rubar in the chat room the only hole Mor’s ever filled is his mouth I hear you Randy listen I got you I I I I’m just thinking he’s gota because of of that I keep going back to these same thing like McCain could shoot the ball undoubtedly he’s more of a two than he is a one right yeah he’s not a good Defender all right and he just doesn’t fit with your best player and fit means something like in basketball you need that you need someone that could and it’s funny if you’re looking for upside what’s the upside because those two can never play for a long minutes together the only thing I can think of with this and why this is my opinion but he there might be some writing on the wall that we don’t see internally with the Sixers and maybe he knows something about Maxi and beid and maybe he’s planning for the future and that’s why he brought McCain in and maybe just listen to me for real quick let me let me talk this through just do it you tank you tank for Cooper flag oh man you trade Maxi and embiid for about eight to nine first round picks and you plan for the future what are you doing and can you cut his mic off or is he only do that worry about producing all right on a on a serious note on a serious note besides Year One what has darl M done I because I thought year one he made some solid trades right you get Seth uh Seth Curry for Josh rich I look at it here’s where it’s not kind of what he’s done in this sense right like the the harded he was saddled with a problem and the Simmons was a problem I don’t blame him for that TR right like and all right I like and I love the Harden I like you’re taking a flyer on a guy who’s a Hall of Fame talent that maybe would get it your parent W and beid I loved it right like you weren’t get now I don’t know if you can get Halle Burton or not he said they say no people I talk to say no so whatever all right so he went with with Harden I had no problem with I I enjoy I thought it was the right move now I wouldn’t have included Maxi in that and I don’t know how real that was which is worrisome right but let’s take it a face value moves fine even going in the last year trying to get those role players and and trying to put some around I go all right but at the deadline I didn’t know if you could probably get seak I know Kyle told us that cakam and Nick nurse don’t really get along right that you know they would but then why not get OG like what like you missed out on that like you needed to try to get something that would position yourself during this period of time well we didn’t have an RJ bear or Emanuel quickly to give the Raptors because they wanted young pieces but see what you’re saying I mean like he just always always feels like sitting there I mean what you know what’s to say about marketing at that point like there was rumors that he was available well I heard he wasn’t available I don’t know all I know is what we read and we all read that marketing was available yeah is he would he still be available with I don’t I don’t know I have no idea I wouldn’t know with Danny a is thinking well would I would I would I go all in on marketing I would yeah it’s got a good I agree with you he’s the right age yeah right he’s the right fit people don’t even trust Mario to trade a b they’re saying he’ll get a bunch of G Leaguers back yeah I was I was kidding with what I said I was that wasn’t like a real thing I do want to see this team succeed you know I’m not like yeah skes I’m not in the mood for jokes I know I know I’m not joke mood I’m not jokey today I understand not I just don’t know I just don’t know I don’t think any of us know the direction and it’s just it’s it’s tough man in the box is uh of course Andrew but we call him skes SK because he’s the dead rer SK and SK skes they look they’re he’s a dppa ganger we need I mean sk’s a little better looking are better looking yeah’s a good good looking kid goodl looking kid not liby dun pulling he not pulling listen if he’s throw 102 he could true I mean throw I got confidence in you I got confidence in confid too all right time for vt’s nugs nugs oh man I don’t even know where to start let’s start at the draft I tried to help you last night I’ve been on a nug KCK you ging me some nugs yeah yeah uh let’s start with the draft I like the the kid the Atlanta Hawks fans with the French parades because they don’t they getting a french guy first or second pick yeah I love that I thought that was actually very cool I I thought it was cool too are listen I would be celebrating that too we would be doing a whole big yeah so they were cool there but then they showed the kid drinking a beer and I’m out on the kid drinking a beer he does a little uh pinky huh pinky no he’s got a little two-hander uh and he pours it from a distance into his mouth I think we got a picture of it we do yeah come on sches I thought I thought it was the same picture you sent me there you go he does the twoand yeah I’m out right and he’s out you can’t go two-handed toing that thing what’s going on V yes yes so weak yes you’re right JP that’s a viol you don’t twoand a beer no no and then like you let it drip it like pour it from a distance so water your mouth weird super weird yeah you don’t do well you drink a beer drink a beer you don’t like even one hand like guzzling it like like that the only time I’m doing something like that is if I’m like sharing a drink with somebody and you’re like a little I don’t know oh do not touch the you don’t touch the lip I got you smoke I I I would be lying if I said we didn’t pass the court bottle back in the day when I was a kid but we didn’t I I didn’t you just did it like you passed the court I have one more and then we’ll get off basketball because it’s such a painful thing turtle at Entourage add it again I hate him this guy has become so annoying if you’re a Knicks fan you didn’t go to a college with a basketball you care about you have to adopt and root for Nova it’s only right this guy irritates me every time stop yeah stick to the such he was like not even a great character in entourage n he strong character he might have been my least I like e over Turtle I think he was definitely no you gotta go Turtle over e e was just Square you liked e he pulled was he pulled Sloan yo Sloan was ridiculous but the problem with e though is he got trampled on turtle was just a knucklehead though his business moves anyway he his Twitter it’s filled with infuriating so you want to try Johnny tro is a great character yeah he he was easily I like Vince yeah of course Everyone likes Vince right yeah Vince was good yeah we all think we’re gonna be Vince like we if you’re gonna pick a character that you’re gonna identify and authoriz it’s GNA be Vince probably you want to be Vince yeah I like Johnny Dr you don’t want to be Johnny we I amn to do this the Dodgers Twitter yeah did you see the bat ball the bat boy kid who saved otani’s life yes this kid’s reflexes I would do the same for you guys as well see Otani like head for the hills diving behind them I mean and it was nice it was two-handed cat was nice the way he does it like look at that it was good mov it’s like he’s yeah like he’s done it dozens of time they don’t need Luis Roberts they got their outfielder right there yeah put the bad boy out there DAV David dah was on uh the MLB Morning Show so that was nice man he’s talking about he played uh baseball with Harper on a 12 and under tournament in Alabama Bryce went 12 for 12 with 11 home runs wow oh my God that’s so funny what 12 for 12 with 11 home runs are you serious and and you know what’s crazy about these tournaments is having been at them you know these kids are good like you got some good talent there and they’ll pitch around you too 12 for 12 with 11 home runs is absurd the Harper the hoer the kid would go around like do you realize at 12 at 12 years like he was the ultimate wonderin yeah like that would that you knew was going to and he turned out to be the guy yeah there’s no doubt when you see a kid doing that that he’s special oh yeah now he turned there’s one kid I’ve seen I’ve seen a lot of talented kids watching uh my son play uh travel ball yeah there’s one kid that I’ve seen that he looks like a Jim Tomy type oh wow Lefty and he I brought I think I even sh we played it you yeah we showed a video of him yeah yeah yeah he was hitting the Home Run yes yeah and he’s a husky kid no no PA lean oh wow he looks like a ball player Lefty and he’s got tremendous power like I always got one I’m like what like I I I would draft this kid if I was a college I would take a flyer on and give him the scholarship husky kid do you remember when Pants used to buy your jeans You’ either be a regular yes yes yes yes not a fat kid I’m a husky kid not F I’m Fluffy do you remember going to the get pants like dress pants and they would they would talk about the crotch yeah and oh it’s a little short in the crotch gu guy be there tuing at super weird yeah right you’re like standing on a box yes yeah cuz the shoes the way they fell your pants fell oh oh was the best oh you’re like oh my you didn’t know like about like offensive like no short what are you talking about no no like no it would they would say sh on the crot it was it not that it would it was more like the way the pants fell yeah a classic yeah so uh short schwarber’s having a good June but otani’s June is out of control dude he h another one last night in June well let’s put it in perspect perspective schwarber schwarber played 22 games he’s got six home runs otani’s got 23 games with 11 home runs wow like every other day he’s banging D dude he’s un he is ridiculous and you got remember he’s going to come back and throw 100 miles per hour next year he he is what what I was funny I I was I was watching I’m like oh my God you know what’s interesting is the Dodgers lineup is not great it’s not a great lineup like you have Otani you have Freddy Freeman you have Mookie Betts when he’s healthy right because he’s obviously hurt you got Hernandez who’s nasty but after that you got you got some holes that’s why they’re looking at Le Robert Jr yeah you got some holes but so I watch them because I keep an eye one eye out and it’s like every night he’s two for three with a home run two walks and a double every night are you boys ready for July 9th that that’s the series against him yeah is he like the best baseball player that we may have ever seen in our like ever I don’t know I I I mean he’s I obviously I actually yes if you proba our in our life for sure but I’ve never seen a guy I’ve never seen a player with that prolific at the plate and could throw 100 miles an hour I’ve never seen that yeah he might be the best we never saw had that no I don’t even think back in the day the guys who did it both I don’t think they threw like they excelled pitching the way I I mean it’s Babe Ruth right is he like a product of like what’s to come or is he just going to be this like you know this oneandone type of guy I think he’s just yeah I don’t think there is a mold of no he’s the exception man I mean to be able to pitch the way he does to have that effective we forget how great a pitcher he is forget about throwing 100 miles an hour he’s a great pitcher like dude’s racking up strikeouts seven eight nine 10 strikeouts a game every start he’s like legit an MVP candidate and a say candidate same time no I without a doubt he’s the best player I ever seen yeah I always thought hitter was bonds but he’s the bet it’s not even close there’s nobody like that see uh Brandon Mars had a good game yesterday yeah you see there’s a little kid even in Detroit there’s a Brandon Mar kid with the the with the beard oh wow yeah I love that love this kid phenomenon of this beard in Marsh yeah it’s fabulous unfortunately he can’t get rid of the beard or the hair it’s just like a staple of his now yeah it’s great yeah probably stuck with it yeah do you do you itch with your beard sometimes yeah I itch and then I get like Danger from it too I need to like oil it or something yeah wow I like to grow it out a little bit and then I’ll I’ll shave it off like I’ll do it like I’m once every I’m a stubble man what you guys like set a hair man like I got to I got to accentuate do something fun I got no hair you know so you got to do something with the facial hair all right that makes sense but if I trim it down got a good beer if I trim it down too much you could do that you could do that I used to beard that goes down used to do that you could do that I used to work with a guy who had a really long beard and his mustache was really long and watching him eat soup was one of the funniest things cuz he’d have to lift up the mustache to like put the spoon in and it was just dude like I’d be chopping that right off what are you gonna doe grow the the handlebars all right do it yeah yeah do the handle do the handlebars CU then you could really look like from 1917 villain tying people out to the train tracks a pocket watch and a monacle hey want to do a back in a day moment right a let’s do it baby all right I found this someone this picture came up on my timeline do you remember the zoo had a mono rail yes yes I do I love this type of stuff picture got rid of it in 1990 but they used to have a monil that would take you through the zoo and you and your family start of walking around you just hang on the mon God they got oh thank God they got rid of that did they did they convert the monal to the like the tube that the Tigers and like everything can walk through no I don’t cuz that monreal went through the whole park oh I mean that does too like yeah that big cage to they have it goes all around the like the park like now I want to go to the zoo

Said that about jokic too
I was rooting for Knecht, but knew better. Could have drafted Bronny and ran a chess move .
Of all the Tennessee players from Tobias and Springer on this team , you pass on Knecht
They lost because they weren’t good enough. Not because “the moment was too big” wth does that even mean 😂
I dont care about his tic tok or his nails but this city anit got no time for no dance moves after no 1st or 2nd round exit and I dont think that kid giving up his tik toks for the sixers if I was him I wouldn’t he got 3 million followers this city will break that kid this city will test him and he would have to show us he about ball
I find comfort in Cuz not liking the kid's fit on the team. He's been wrong about the sixers so much this could actually work now somehow
Morey been here 4 years for 3 of the offseason he’s punted first for harden then Ben then harden again. Dude is a fraud
Kyle Filipowski is still available, could we move up to 31 and grab him please?
Morey is terrible. This team is dying right before our eyes.
We struggle every year to hit open shots in playoffs and now y’all complaining we draft a shooter for the bench 😂🤦🏽♂️
This was all ELTON BRAND!!
Surround Joel with competitive, active, long athletes, so he can avoid running around the court. There's lots of scoring already with Embiid and Maxey. Experienced basketball minds understand you have to compete with size, length, and speed on the defensive end to win ships
These guys know nothing. Expecting the 16th overall pick to be a 40 minute a game player year 1. McCain should be a great 6 man type who can score. We couldn’t score at all last year apart from Maxey and Embiid. I thought it was the right pick
Could have had Malik Monk 75 millionn for this Elton Brand
Trade bait for BRANDON Ingram
Konnect does not play defense
I loved the pick watched McCain all season dude can stroke it and has some playmaking ability at worst he's a poor man's Darius Garland
guy in the middle me ctfu when he said: "i mean he can't stay here… there has to be a trade" 😂😂😂
Anthony "Negadelphia" Gargano
what happened to draft for talent, trade or fa for positional talent
Why did they not draft that kid from Tennessee????
Become a Clippers fan for less agony…hahahaha
Knick fan here. How yall doing?
I cannot stand this dude! Seriously Dalton is 6'4" lmao u act like he's 6'6".. McCain is younger, faster, and still blossoming!! Ask Raja Bell what playing good d does for your nba career
This kid is going to be a beast
You know it's bad when I start googling if a 20 year old can still grow. Unless this kid is going to be traded, it is clear evidence that Morey doesn't understand roster construction.
Maxey''s the best player
Why do we always settle for the UNDERSIZED guy??? Morey and his whole draft staff need to be FIRED!!! im sick of it stop trying to be cute and pick who tf yoir suppose to pick
Gagano couldnt said it better! Other teams are getting bigger and taller whereas the sixers likes to draft small and undersized players and kept playing small balls
