[@Chali_M]

I can't even watch this episode. Not here to be depressed. Y'all got this one

[@jrhaydon939]

Of course if hes available and 100%

[@gsc76]

No. The answer is no.

[@JonathanCarter-do6st]

Hellll nooo. How fr. Tatum been to 6 ecf. Biid not even one by accident. Playoffs difference

[@naidier834]

to win a championship with Embiid, the 76ers need to not have the offense totally centered around Embiid, and Embiid needs to become a power forward like Dirk Nowitzki. Since the offense is centered on Embiid, once he is injured the offense is stagnant and stinks. If Embiid becomes a power forward maybe it will reduce his injuries. The 76ers need to figure it out. It is 42 years and counting since a championship.

[@JonathanCarter-do6st]

He too stupid to win. HELLO? Lol

[@yakrider6402]

Too many things from injuries to front office mismanagement occurred during the real Embiid window (ages 25-30). Time to acknowledge it, bring in "The Haul", and build a winning program... period.

[@shizzoflex3121]

Keep it a buck I agree brother Maxey is the 1 we should be building everything around & setting the culture Embiid doesn’t want it enough if he did he’d committ to losing weight and taking his health serious so he doesn’t get hurt every year

[@wannettaricks2016]

Happy Thursday guys, I don't think Joel's the problem it's the organization, to be honest, I don't think Joel's heart is really in it because of how they are putting the team together. I mean he really doesn't look happy to me everybody's leaving who he calls his brothers and they have to continue building chemistry with new players and it's really wasting time, to be honest not putting a good team together we had a good team but James Harden and Daryl Morey came over here and ruined everything so, no to a championship at this point because they do not know how to figure it out Oh my goodness we could have been the New Celtics!!! have a blessed day!! I mean we don't develop young players and give them away and Daryl talking about I made this team better KEEP THE YOUNG PLAYERS!! I am still sick about Isaiah Joe and Jaden Springer and Tucker and Bassey and others we let go now I will say Have a blessed day!!

[@threetime3257]

I used to get upset about Joel getting hurt, but after a while, I realized it's not on him. We need a good backup center to give the man a break. We overwork him. We play the man too many minutes.

[@aanakhtatkaa9994]

💯

[@christopherjackson8960]

Can’t blame Embid, Sixers need more shooters and just reliable back up center.

[@peterpentakis9307]

Jaylen Brown is amping it up because they have to double-team Tatum where they have to double-team porzingis or they have to keep an eye on Danny White or whoever they have the Celtics are way better team throughout their roster than the Philadelphia 76ers. When you get in the playoffs and you're playing against a really good basketball team then your other players have to step up so all the pressure isn't put on your most important player that's the story

[@nafisaustin5063]

Short answer can they win, yes… long answer no cuz the organization won’t be together a quality squad.

[@JonathanCarter-do6st]

Always blaming the team. They pay this dude well lol. Tatum been to 6 six Eastern final.

[@mellomd7831]

Is Daryl Morey on the hot seat?

[@jrhaydon939]

Embiid & maxey’s playoff averages weren’t the problem, they had hardly any help, especially with that weak link tobias.They have to get that 3rd big player right this time.

[@JonathanCarter-do6st]

Y we never have help. Losers never ha e help. Last time we said kobe ain't have help. And he overrated

[@jrhaydon939]

@@JonathanCarter-do6st So are you saying embiid is a loser and overrated??

[@pennytrue2741]

Kelly oubre jr has new representation. Does that mean that he likely isn’t coming back to the sixers? 🤔 he’s getting an agent so close to to free agency start. It’s a bit strange. Or does this mean he got so many offers he had to hire an agent to handle them all… Hmmm

[@samnmel100]

trading Wilt worked out great for us, right? (*crickets). I say, "no," to trading the big guy, because you gotta be clever to turn superstars into trade capital and make it work, an we ain't clever. we've proven that to the NBA world time and time again. missed trades, horrible drafts, internal turmoil... lets face it, we dumb as an organization. all heart, no brain. thinking we're gonna compete without Joel is absurd. Mitch, Joel played with a broken everything, while dmelt and roco were in streets. lets talk about their availability. 'oh for toobi' was available. how'd that work out? quit dishing on 21

[@hammer3353]

A smart organization like the Celtics would have traded him already.

[@christopherjackson8960]

Sixers ha e to develop their young players like Council and K.C. Martin.

[@peterpentakis9307]

Meanwhile Kawhi Leonard has two championships and he missed half of his career😢

[@romelsligh2788]

@peterpentakis he was healthy in the playoffs the 2 times he won the championships Embiid is never healthy in the playoffs and every Sixers fan knows this because every year they lose they keep saying the reason they lost was he wasn’t healthy

[@peterpentakis9307]

Are you going to say whether Maxie wanted or did he win it are you kidding me the players won the championship all of them whoever is on the team that wins the championship they all win it. So who won who's going to win the championship for the Celtics Jaylen brown or Jayson Tatum know the whole team won it Tatum know the whole team won the championship. Just cuz porzingis isn't on the team right now because he just got hurt that doesn't mean that he's not a part of this championship he helped him get there and he had two great games. To give him breathing room

[@aanakhtatkaa9994]

The administration didn't surround him with proper assistance. It has been all on him, until Tyrese Maxey came and blossomed. You can't win championship or make derp playoff runs changing the team yearly. Joel said so himself. Every year, new teammates. It's never been all on him. Had he been on another team who really cares this gs would've been better for him. Imagine if he was a Boston Celtics or New York Knicks. . . .

[@ryanrowe1975]

No

[@amonone399]

If the sixers ever get a brain and get the right players around him and also develop and value young players. The number one thing is the sixers will have to luck up and have Joel be 80 percent going into a playoff run.

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

It's always everyone except him. What a loser

[@mrjrod122100]

No and yes

[@moparking1714]

Yall F in bugging.. why is this a question .. you put nothing with him until now. It's a team game. That's why stars don't want to play in philly. Enjoy the process 2.0

[@peterpentakis9307]

This is absurd to say that Anthony Edwards made it to the finals or the semifinals in 2 years and that the Joker did this and that Luka doncic is in the finals these people have talent around them Tobias Harris was a piece of s*** that both of you liked that's what's wrong with the Sixers is the garbage that they have put around the best big man I've ever seen

[@Chali_M]

I hate this kind of talk coming from philly. Talking about trading your star away. we always the city that do that

[@VLADBANNEDME-ve9ko]

No.

[@Prophet.1]

NO, they can't win a championship with him alone. Big bruh have to be put on a Strength and Conditioning agenda

[@modxmike7608]

No. Because of management. They don’t want to win a championship! They want to keep suckering the fans! 😳

[@JohnWilliams-vj2ic]

Short answer is No! He's too injury prone.

[@hothandquis941]

Slow off-season I see

[@johnmitchell7654]

It is. Of course there are other podcasts covering the team where the hosts don’t do any reporting and tell you about made up sources.

[@k.c8330]

No, Come playoff time, he will ALWAYS be HURT!!!

[@peterpentakis9307]

How stupid is that comment that he's going to eat up cap space. When they just finished paying off to buy his harris. 40 million a year I didn't hear you say anything about that cap space. So what are you going to do start all over and have nobody on the team. Tyrese Maxey is fine but he's no number one

[@brucedavis4773]

I don’t the Sixers will be able to put a good team together

[@benjaminj.carrick9987]

no

[@mrshanwash2]

No, trade him to the Rockets. End the process by trading it.

[@framed_Mcrib]

the answer is no. First he will never be healthy. Second people are jumping to come play with him because he has great regular season then chokes in playoff and blames everyone else. Last he is dirty player. in his career he got more flagrant fouls than Draymond green

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

No not now 🙅‍♂️ not ever. We traded Barkley, AI and now his butt needs to be gone 😅😂😢

[@romelsligh2788]

They can’t win anything with him because he’s always hurt and he doesn’t dominate the playoffs like a 7 foot 280 lbs center should. He’s suppose to be the best player in the league but he never plays like it in the playoffs.

[@peterpentakis9307]

The average 33 points a game in the playoffs this year on one leg Tobias Harris didn't score two games Kyle Lowry didn't score two games. You put the right people around him they can run multiple championships

[@JonathanCarter-do6st]

​@@peterpentakis9307stfu. No he didn't. He had one 50 pt game. He avg like 20. Dude weak af

[@jordansmith7954]

Y’all need better topics

[@Prophet.1]

"Locked On" has the best topics, Nuff Said
