Woj details who could have a FUTURE in Philly π | NBA Countdown
W what is the emergence of Tyrese Maxi combined with their play as a whole changed about the Outlook of their roster I think it’s B Daryl Mo their uh president in Philadelphia some time uh to to reshape this roster now uh with a third star around Joel embiid and Tyrese
Maxi he has become an all NBA guard the arrival of Nick nurse has been huge especially on the offens event in Philadelphia when they made the James Harden trade with the Clippers there was a sense that they may have to really he at the trade deadline find a star player
To be able to keep up with Boston Milwaukee in the East they’re showing with this group that they can do it maybe without a third star maybe something around the edges Philadelphia has something this coming summer that very you very rarely see with a contending team and that’s a Max salary
Spot they need a big w a big Wing forward who’s going to guard those forwards in Boston maybe it’s Tobias Harris staying on a new deal but you look at potential free agents two of the Raptors ogan and Obi Pascal sakam and then with the Clippers Paul George Kawhi
Leonard all of them possibly could be free agents but Philly can also be in the trade market so they have a future in Philly that they can sell to Joel embiid and they have a team this year that has shown it can compete okay there’s a couple of things I have to say
Number one I do not want to hear the name kawh lenon as a possible Philadelphia 76 you can’t have him and Joe beat on the same Squad that is just you can’t have that because damn it who’s going to be available you say Joel embiid is a superstar averaging 35 this
Year they’re 0 and three without him we’re thanking the Heavenly the heavenly father that this man is has only missed those three games okay we always worry about his availability we can’t add kawha to that that’s number one number two I have to take a moment to give
Daryl Mory some love Nick nurse has been a great hire he’s elevated their level of pace he’s made their offense more important and obviously Maxi is shin with MB do I think they need another piece sure I do but what I’ve seen from the Philadelphia 76s I have to say it’s
Been very impressive absolutely but look in Doc Rivers defense you know I got to jump there I a’t knocking Doc Rivers just say he didn’t want James Harding from the GetGo anyway let’s put that out there but when I look at the 76ers and you we and we talking about can they win
The East they can’t beat Boston but they damn sure could beat Milwaukee in the seven game series with the roster that they have I love Kelly UB I love what uh DeAnthony mil DeAnthony Milton has been bringing to the table and that damn Nicholas baton underrated pickup in that
Trade for James Harden ultimate three and D guy so just to follow up you believe the Sixers will sit Pat unless one of those guys becomes available on their terms from Toronto in a trade I I think the Sixers can do some things around the edges that help them
Shortterm maybe long term but they can go big game hunting this summer very few teams in their position usually have the assets to do it they can do it that 2028 unprotected pick from the Clippers I promise you that player will never play for the Philadelphia 76ers but it’s
Going to be really valuable in a trade when they move it uh to put somebody else around Joel embiid Tyrese Max I’m going to repeat let kawwai stay where he is do not bring him pa George they both stay in La all potential a brand new Arena coming in there the ceiling for
The 76ers is presently constructed Michael wbond is what can they crack that upper echelon that we talk about the Celtics in three is as high as they can go I think it goes high and they’re going to have some you think so you could pass Milwaukee yes wow I think
They could I’m going have some dissent on that [Applause] One

How do you maintain a positive mindset during challenging times?π»
PHI without Harden is even more of a contender instantly.
Nurse is one of the best coaches out there. No question
its time giannis has to step up and will step up
NBA Woj sounds like a member of Youngboys crew ππ
U act like sports is a really boring class at a community college. Itβs like, βMr Woj, are you done yet?β
As a sixers fan I think in my opinion I think that we shouldnβt add another star cuz embiid and maxey they have taken over business since the department of James harden
Phily should trade for jeremi grant
What's this obsession with a "third star"? Can't teams just have 1 or 2 great players and a good bench anymore?
If Philly gets a back up center and another shot creator (whether it be a facilitator or a player that can create for themself), they will be a legitimate elite team…
Why is Perc always hugging on Doc Rivers nuts like heβs not the one who traded him ππππππ
Siakam is the answer
Anyone can pass milwaukee, they allow 120ppg lol
Tobias Harris the weakest link plus his 36 million contract is overrated.
Hope people listen to Stephen A. Do not put Kawhi and Embiid on the same team π€£
Get Klay Thompson for cheap and another piece
Perk needs a speech class π
joel embiid gonnachoke again
we will see what happens in the playoffs.. no excuses.. ben simmons gone, jimmy butler gone, james harden gone, and doc rivers gone.. its time to put up or shut up for joel embiid
If they get Siakam they would be incredible!!
Best 76rs team Iβve seen in a long time.
In this order, Paul George Siakam Kawhi OG.
Roco-Batum-Obrue-Pat Bev- have been HUGE pickups— I feel confident this year and I never felt this way before being a life long sixers fan
What is SAS on???
