I have said this for years and most say no way...
There is always a sucker in the league... Call the Lakers and send him west... Maybe we can get Ayton, Rui, and Austin Reeves and a 1st...
?
Most teams play their starters more minutes in the playoffs. So if Maxey's getting 38+ minutes that's 10-12 minutes a night in the playoffs for McCain. Plus you need to have a good 4th guard to play with Maxey while VJ sits because you can't play Maxey and McCain together unless you want to watch teams shoot over our backcourt ala Jayson Tatum 3 years ago.
It's also a near impossibility to play a 3 guard rotation when 2 of your guys are 6'2.
I mean hey, you can make anyone your 6th man. but if you want a good one then fit needs to be accounted for. you want someone who makes you more versatile. Can play with VJ or Maxey or even both in 3 guard change of pace lineups (or if a forward is hurt).
I like Jared. Heck... I said to start the season, there's an argument to be made that you trade Maxey for a huge haul and rebuild with VJ/McCain.
But yeah... imo its poor asset management/roster construction to expect to get big minutes from both Maxey and McCain on the same team. And i'd argue the vast majority of fans on this forum and in the Delaware valley understood that 2 years ago when he was drafted.
McCain fits better with OKCs cause Shai and Jalen Williams are big guards. But I think Caruso, Mitchell and Carson Wallace get more playoff minutes (assuming health) so how many minutes is your 5th or 6th guard getting?
Well, sure, But it's also not certain that McCain would be able to consistently do what he's doing in OKC on a healthy 6ers team because he's such a poor fit with Maxey. The vast majority of 6ers fans understood that when we drafted him. But we're so starved for young talent that we forget. McCain's a case of a guy who fits better on other teams, so he was always destined to get traded. But like for sure, I get being p*ssed they sold at a low point on him.
Embiid and PG can both fetch us draft capital if we trade them this offseason.
Neither of these guys have had a major injury in years. You guys make it seem as if they're crippled.
DM says that 3pt are more of an issue than tanking...lol!! His nerdy @$$ analytics helped usher it in. Now, it's a problem....lol

Regardless of what one thinks of his work as a GM, he's a legitimately smart human being who has interesting insight on just about any topic he talks about.

I’m from the OLD SCHOOL. EMBIID is out tonight for the T-Wolves game for the same @. How many cards does Morey & NN have to deal EMBIID!? In the meantime EMBIID is sitting on the bench getting a paycheck. IMO EMBIID probably sit out the next game.This means EMBIID has been sitting before the NBA All Star Game & the 3 road games. I think this should’ve been enough time to get his giraffes knees together.
Let’s hope when the NBA Season ends I would cut ties with everything on the Sixers Management. When the next starts Redd Foxx will have everything on the table. By then the Sixers can build with Maxey, VJ & Bona.
I don't know, Nina. On January 27, George had one of his best games in years. 32 points on 9 made threes!n On January 31, the NBA suspended him for doping. He'll need to show the league what he can do without Ketamine in his system.
I don't think there's an NBA GM who would be willing or have the cap space to take on either of those contracts. Get used to vet mins and two-way players. Only two more years for George and a mere three for Embiid.
DM really made a mistake here IMO. Whats funny is, LAC wasn't trynna pay him, but DM did.
The funniest part of this is that it was history repeating itself. Clippers had Tobias Harris in the building and wasn't trying to pay him either.
Can't really start over until both George and Embiid are off the books, imo. Its going to be a long transition phase but we'd be waiting on VJ to develop, anyway.
He finished 2nd in MVP voting in 2021 and 2022, won the MVP award in 2023, and was well on his way to winning it again in 2024 when he tore his meniscus.
Yes, he hasn't been healthy in the playoffs since the Raptors series, but lets not act like he wasn't playing the ~75% of games needed to even qualify for MVP voting.
Embiid was coming off a string of 4 straight MVP caliber seasons when he got that extension
What happened with his knee last season was bizarre and perplexed every medical expert the Sixers consulted with.
I have my theory as to what happened, what's undeniable is that he's fine now and playing at a near MVP level again.
I agree with PG. I as a bad signing and I would have preferred 2/3 players at a total of 50 million a year. Not 1 player.
But, as for Embiid, even at 75%, he is the 2nd best center in all of basketball and it’s not even close. Right now, we just have to see how the year pans out.
