Yes, exactly my point.
So The 6ers have one, "in his prime" all-star in Maxey. While, Embiiid is overpaid, most likely a former all star, he's past his prime and no longer has the defensive impact which is the most important role of a center (cant rebound, does not intimidate drivers). And VJ ie an unproven rookie who's career path is unknown. Plus the 6ers are saddled with PGs contract.
The Magic have 2 all-star caliber players who by the way are younger than Maxey and therefore theoretically at least have more room for growth. Plus more other intriguing youngsters from Anthony Black, Jalen Suggs, Tristan DiSilva etc. AND role players in their primes... like Bane, Carter Jr.
The Cavs have 3 players too. All on the right side of their prime and with more experience than a rookie.
I'm not trying to crap on the 6ers situation. I don't think it's nearly as bad as Cowboys and a few others try to suggest it is. But I am tryna be objective about it.

« Last post by alwaysphil1 on Today at 07:10:03 pm »I was hoping for Bichette as any fan would, but will come right out say this, I'm grateful to the Mess for taking Louis Robert. Why? I think there's a chance we'll see this year. Painter, Crawford (majors) and Miller (AAA) may show why DD was close to throwing the baby out with the bathwater although we don't know how close any kind of trade was. The Mess snatched Bichette, the real prize, but they put a guy in CF who has had one successful half season. He's cheap ($20 million and can't believe I said cheap), Cohen throws that kind of money out for tips, but i'm more happy this club will give these kids a real shot (for now). There is a chance DD can still do something dumb but am hopeful. Fingers crossed. Got a good feeling on at least two of the three and very hopeful about Wood and Escobar (Nos 4 and 5 Prospects). My sleeper isWen-Hui Pen, coming off TJ surgery when a 2024 trip to the AFL was sacked and had surgery late 2024. They say he's healthy. I saw him for Threshers in 2024, he throws up to 99, has a crazy a$$ splitter in the mid 80s and apparently had a swing/miss rate on it at 63% the year I saw him. He rocketed up from A to High A and on his way to AFL when he was derailed.

oddly enough the eagles are the only philly team I never liked at all.
Lol, well was never a big Sixers fan except for time I was hoping they would lose during the tank
Flyers bored me to tears for so many years. The Phillies got to be that way too. Tired of looking at Bohm, Marsh, Casty, Stott, Realmuto year in and year out. And Trea siting on bench for two months smiling after tweaking a hamstring. Then after the D Backs year I bailed. Tired of a team trying to win by hitting six solo home runs a game.
Vegas was always my home away from home. Now it is my home. VGK was always a team I liked from start.

The Cavs have been snake bitten with injuries? PG missed 18 games, Embiid 19 and Oubre 22? What do we call that?
We have 3 player to build around.. Embiid, Maxey and VJ. That’s the bottom line.
Now, if I could move PG, I would. I don’t think I would move Embiid unless a team blows me a way.

« Last post by jkay on Today at 06:11:15 pm »Btw there seems to be more criticism and rightfully so against Cooty Coot Coots even from some of the most ardent sheep.he is a shell of his formal self due to injuries'. He is a sunk cost at this point. His underlying metrics are solid eye test not so much.
But Danny never would ask poor wittle Sean to waive his NTC or gasp.....retire.
not sure a team wants that long term contract unless they are getting out of one as well. Can probably help the right team for the next 2 years.
Asking him to retire is silly. He isnn't or should he give up that money. Correct danny is pushover and would never ask.

Embiid is blessed with talent. Unfortunately he can't seem to stay healthy.
I can't blame anyone who wants to keep him anymore than I can blame anyone who wants to move on from him.
I just want another chip. I'm 67, and all I got to show for 60 years of devotion is 1 championship.

he has no answers at all. if the losing continues how long before these loser players tune him out?
Usually players will believe in any coach for the entire first season and into camp in the second. Then you'll see the tune out begin. So I'll say by US thanksgiving next season is when the fun will start

« Last post by phils22 on Today at 04:11:49 pm »I completely disagree with your perspective.
The Magic and Cavs have more young/in prime talent than the 6ers do. The Cavs in particular have been snake bit with injuries or they'd be a top 4 team in the East. Knicks are in a funk, but have more championship equity than this current 6ers team. The Bucks aren't in great shakes but when you have Giannis already in the fold you're only 1 trade away. They could buy low on a former all star like Morant and be right back in the thick of an ECF race. The 6ers on the other hand are stuck with one foot in the past and the other foot in the future.
