  1. Iā€™m still liking our chances against them barring any injuries. It would be interesting to see what their bench would be though.

    If PG and Embiid manage to stay healthy for playoffs thatā€™s a miracle

  3. ben_twiener

    This is a good move for them. The certainly lacked shot creation. They have a lot of fire power but we are much deeper than them. Also counting on Embiid and PG to be healthy is no sure thing

  4. Its a good move for them, a bit desperate but they had no choice. As constructed now they probably beat the Knicks they saw in the playoffs, but add in Randle, Mikal, a healthy Mitchā€¦They not seeing us.

    When was the last time Paul George was healthy in the playoffs?

  6. Nice pick up. Still not beating the knicksssssdds

  7. BabyMangoDragon

    Doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s PG, Maxey or Embiidā€¦

    KNICKS IN 5.

    I donā€™t mind the East getting better. Will be that much sweeter when we win the chip.

  9. cesarjulius

    good thing itā€™s not a 3 on 3 tournament.

    our 4-8 are mikal bridges, mitch rob, ddv, hart, and deuce.

    their 4-8 are kelly oubre, andre drummond, and ā€¦?

    We got our wing defenders ready to make life a living hell for him

    This is a different Eastern Conference you’re coming back to, PG.

  12. spiked_cider

    Still don’t think they’re better than Knicks and definitely not Boston. I know the money doesn’t work but if he went to Dallas that would’ve probably been more dangerous.

  13. Canā€™t wait to watch OG make him look like prime Tobias Harris

  14. Theyā€™ll be paying 38 year old Paul George $55,000,000.

  15. admiral_aubrey

    George is 34. He’s played over 60 games once in the last 5 seasons. I’m not worried.

  16. The_MadStork

    Maybe Boston will actually have to play a good team in the playoffs next season before we beat them in the ECF

  17. DanUnbreakable

    1. Celtics

    2. Knicks

    3. 76ers

    4. Cavaliers

    5. Bucks

    6. Magic

    7. Pacers

    8. Heat

    We will see them in the second round. Boston will be tough to beat. We need iHart to have a chance

  18. aesop_fables

    Oh shit Sixers fans are happy about this. Damn. The dude we wanted nothing to do with is another manā€™s treasure.

  19. Giving a 34 year old injury prone player 200M+ is crazy..definitely makes them better Iā€™m glad we got Mikal but that contract will look bad as he declines

  20. AnusButter2000

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we keep Randle, you have him feasting on this teamĀ 

  21. popepipoes

    Nothing makes me happier than the thought of Philly paying this dude 50mil in a couple years

  22. WorkersUnited111

    People here are underestimating them. If Embiid and PG stay healthy, that’s a super dangerous team.

  23. Still doesnā€™t move the needle enough to bring them to the Knicks and Celtics tier. Theyā€™re still in T2 with Milwaukee and Cleveland.

  24. I wonder who will miss more games Mr Floppy or PG

  25. Oscar_ltw520430

    Mikal locking up Maxey and OG’s got PG’s numbers, Knicks in 5

  26. KyleDudak

    Given their track record and injury history, I feel of all the moves the 6er could’ve made, this is a win now / desperation play and will long term benefit the knicks. In four years, Philly paying a 38 year old geroge a max contract, which will be a real handicap in terms of adding players. Plus, they need to resign Maxey next off-season

  27. No_Corner3977

    Can someone tell me how they can afford 3 max guys and avoid the aprons and hardcapping and still be able to sign other players and field a team?

  28. mblue33117

    Thatā€™s a lot of money to pay a guy that plays 30 games a year šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚

  29. Wow, a signing that ruins both the clippers AND the sixers all at once

  30. Fast_Door

    I love the confidence in here but Iā€™m ngl Iā€™m def worried. Make jokes all you want, bro can play. Heā€™s (on paper) a great fit next to Embiid/Maxey, and they just brought back Oubre too. It took 6 hard fought games last year, and even if we have Randle coming around this year, not having IHart might just even that out. Think itā€™ll be another hard fought 6-7 if we bump into them again.

    IHart pls.
