RELAX, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE COURT YET🙄😱🤮🏀
I just wanna Thank You Guys for all the Sixers talk this summer. It's great to hear this time of year instead being bombarded by all the Eagles talk everywhere else.
Call me crazy… but what if we scooped Chris Paul as a trade deadline move, to ring chase and what-not. It would certainly help with play making and shot creation.
Playmaking wasnt a concern last year because Nick Nurse convinced Embiid he could play Jokic's role in the offense. Most of the Embiid's run was comprised of him genuinely trying to get his teammates involved. Prior years once Embiid had the ball in his hands he was going to shoot it regardless. If Nurse can convince Embiid to play team ball and try to get assist again, we wont need a playmaking point guard. The starting lineup is filled with players who know how to play team basketball and dont become black holes. Paul George can score but he makes the right plays. Even Tyrese Maxey averaged 7 assist last year. The main issue next year is whether Embiid can control the urge to play hero ball and get the team bouncing on all cylinders by giving up the ball early and often for easier shots.
The same way the Eagles are going to need Hurts not the want to run in every rushing opportunity on his own and pass to the open receivers and make Saquan Barkley useless, we need Embiid to be champion focused and not stat focused.
I agree. If Joel modifies his style of play to compliment the talent around him ( like how jokic plays)then definitely we will get to another level. He can easily gets 10+ assists
Rebounding is good 👍 Drummond plus a lot of live bodies, plus loose 😳 balls. Caleb Martin very good rebounder, PG13 good, Oubre, team Rebounding should be better.
Trade KJ Martin for Tari Eason and Griffin!!
Tari Eason is a great rebounder and defender 👏
