How the Sixers Solved the James Harden Curse

[@user-gv1ud2oq1w]

They didnt, Balmer did LOL

[@timstar28]

I was so mad when we traded for harden, and i would get trashed for it. A rocket fan told me as soon as we got him, that in the playoffs, for eveey 1 great game, he gives 2 terrible ones, and dude was dead on.

[@smh-TV]

the only bright side of Harden was that his good offensive moves and tendencies have rubbed off on maxey. Have you seen his step back 3s. His iso and off the dribble game looks just like James and the two were good friends even if he was a locker room cancer. Maxey has been a sponge so far in his career and the influence harden gave him cannot be overlooked. If philly can get a player like cp3 when his contract expire this offseason for cheap that might make him an elite guard in the future. SGA looks amazing and he had one year with CP in okc and you can see how his playmaking and leadership skills rubbed off on him too. Philly could use that influence off the bench for maxey.

[@bicbuilds]

Problem with Philly is Embiid is a choker in the playoffs too. So it doesn’t really matter if harden is there or not.

Maxey is one of my favorite players and I have 0 of him on my bestball lineups because I thought no team would want harden. Then I forgot the league would force the trade to one of their golden gooses the clippers.

the argument that daryl morey is star hunter is stupid, yes he traded for some stars but harden never got to play 2 all stars at once. other than the harden-simmons trade he as been a great gm for the sixers, i trust in him to make good moves. with him and nick nurse the sixers will be contenders for quite some time, even when embiid’s production eventually decreases

Embiid just won the MVP so it should be expecrted that he is good enough to make the Sixers a top 3 seed with or without Harden. For some reason he is the only All Star that gets a pass for no making an ECF or not being expected to be good in the playoffs

[@future62]

Maybe speaking too soon but I could see Maxey being the big kahuna for the 76ers in about 2-3 years. Could be some issues with Embiid but I am enjoying the wave for now. And yea Philly should go all in on depth, no team needs more than 2 30 a night guys

He the reigning league MVP a top 5 player under 30 in the prime of his career and been for awhile now..Maxey got Harden mins and been balling evolving as a player getting better weekly.. Also new NBA Champion coach in Nick Nurse they quietly did a mini rebuild Sixers looking good.. With an additional vuable piece could win it all..

[@shorewall]

Embiid choked in the playoffs. And Harden and Perkins won him that MVP. If you want to blame anyone, blame Doc. We see what an actual coach can get, and Embiid giving up some of his numbers actually leads to more wins.

[@robsmith5434]

You nailed it. If the Sixers can add Brogdon and either OG or Caruso, Philly would be absolutely stacked and their defense would be incredible.

[@WARnTEA]

No cap, I want Caruso just so Maxey can learn from him. Maxey steals all of the best things from his team mates, he is relentless. If the sixers add caruso that is equivalent to adding 2 carusos to the team, and since the team looks up to maxey as a leader, who knows how many players will start playing hard defense like caruso. Also, I wonder how much Batum is going to influence maxey. We might see some exciting connection passes from maxey coming soon. I think caruso is the most important for Maxey’s future though because maxey is a small guy, so the details of how to play hard defense will translate really well to maxey’s game especially since refs don’t call fouls on mismatches where the smaller guy is fouling, they only call the obvious stuff like hitting a players arm when shooting.

[@noobroblox1409]

But we Mavs want Caruso and OG so we must battle!!

[@soofi_]

I really like this Sixers team. Besides how much Tobias gets paid and Morey as GM, I like how the team is constructed. Nurse as a head coach is a great pickup. He has coached a superstar before (Kawhi), has helped coached that 2019 team to the title, and has held his own even with key free agent departures during the offseasons and injuries here and there. It is unfortunate that Embiid had liabilities like Ben Simmons and Harden that have been stubborn in their own ways, not too willing to change, adjust, adapt, work on, or expand their game beyond the skill sets they came in with. However, Maxey, who has great morale and work ethic and seems willing to improve and add on to his game, looks like the best second option besides Jimmy Butler that Embiid has played with. As long as this team stays healthy, makes the right moves by the deadline if needed, and steps up in the playoffs, I can see this team potentially making it to the Conference Finals and being an actual title contender for the next few seasons.

Maxey is a an enigma of pg’s. He can sink the tear drops like Tony Parker, he’s fast and plays defense like Dwyane Wade, he can shoot 3s off the dribble like houston james harden and he’s as humble and hardworking like steph curry. He’s going to be a problem for years. If he can get his playmaking skills to near elite levels he will be a problem for a long time. Already feels like a philly legend and we haven’t won anything special yet. If this team makes it to the conference finals this year I think the process era is over and it’s the franchise era like Joel called Maxey last night. He is the franchise and so is Joel. These two just need to focus on their chemistry together and make each other better players. As long as Nick Nurse has the rest of the team playing hard defense and shooting their shots when the looks are there philly will be great. Don’t even get me started on Tobi either. Man is shooting 50 40 90 splits on the season and looks good on defense with the edition of batum and roco to help him out on the wing. This team is one playmaking guard away from something special.
