I'm not sure about maxi ascending. When all his efficiency numbers went down, history point shooting percentage went from 43% to 37%, his 2 point shooting percentage went down and yes he scored 5 or 6 more points a game, but he had to take 5 additional shots. That's not very good. He is a complimentary player to a star. At this point in his career.

[@wmbriggz]

A second shooting ball handler and a second shooting center are what the sixers need this off season … Kelly olynyk would have been a great pickup as a backup center…

[@ondramoody5670]

Thanks John for calling it what it is!

[@pennytrue2741]

Also in theory they should build around Embiid. Maxey is great but he couldn’t carry the team without Embiid when he was out whereas Embiid can single handily carry them but because of embiids constant injury history especially during the playoffs they probably have to build around maxey to create a team strong enough to withstand missed time from Embiid.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Dejounte Murray

[@framed_Mcrib]

answer is no. example he couldn't carry against the knicks this yr. look when embiid was off the floor sixers were -47 in 6 games. sad thing is embiid only on bench about 4 or 5 minutes a game. I think maxey ceiling is being second best players on the team.

[@deryckpalmer4218]

I guess you guys are running out of stuff to talk about😂😂

[@Chali_M]

I wanted to say the same thing but I'm glad you did. Some of these topic titles lately have been crazy

[@pennytrue2741]

They crazy thing is they could’ve recovered from the Ben Simmons and Markell’s Fultz fumbles had they just kept jimmy butler, Mikal bridges and Isaiah joe I also think jaden springer will go down as a mistake too. Well at least morey got jaden a ring before Embiid 😂

[@kevinwashington3071]

For the Long term Yes, let's be realistic Joel has maybe 2 years of strong showing, injuries will catch up, we can mix youth with a sprinkle of veteran leadership, I believe we can have speed, Malik Monk, Brandon Ingram and a couple of pieces we will be set, organization the front office have mishandled this team for the past 10 years, it's a shame!!!!!

[@jrhaydon939]

If they got a gem with maxey at pick 21, no excuses not to get a gem at 16 this year

[@waynetucker4685]

Build on Both

[@yolo8948]

Realist sixer podcast no ass kissing or fan boy stuff

[@timothreeleach]

Maxey is my favorite player

[@peterpentakis9307]

Why not Jojo

[@greenegangkylie6371]

Dejjonta murray

[@deryckpalmer4218]

So what does building around Maxey means? Lol

[@phillysheriff5138]

Worst management ever Brett Brown, Colangelo set the Sixers back years. And do we have faith in Daryl ??

[@prestonhornes8367]

I would trade Joe for Anothy Edwards’s maxey needs a shaq lik peeny had embid play too soft too many threes

[@peterpentakis9307]

Rivers wooden play Isaiah Joe

[@wannettaricks2016]

Hey guys, why do y'all keep pouring salt on the wound? lol, can't blame Daryl Morey for the Tatum, and Jalen Brown because he wasn't here blame the owner and limited partners lol. Congratulations to Jalen Springer! He's in the final thanks, Daryl Morey. I told y'all he put our younger players on some good teams and said, I just made this team better and here we are in sinking sand. Jalen was shocked that Daryl traded him and Nick Nurse gave him trash minutes thank you Sam Cassell for getting Jalen and to see the smile on his face makes me smile good luck to him. I don't use earthly wisdom I use Godly wisdom and wisdom is perfect in the word and in life period. I told everybody NOT to get Nick Nurse but to get Sam Cassell so he can bring in Dan Burke because they would play everybody yes, including the younger players, not the same old players and wear them down. To get a coaching job in the NBA, you get fired NOT quit and that's what Nick Nurse did to me he seems like he always had animosity towards the Sixers and I wonder if he initially tried to make this team fold. I mean Doc Rivers out-coached him twice, I don't care about his G-league credentials I think the Sixers should get rid of Nick and get Sam so he can get Dan Burke period Oh yeah, I don't know who they should build around to be honest I don't care.

[@peterpentakis9307]

Mikhail Bridges and Maxie are nowhere near as good as Jojo and anybody else. What are we going to do is start building again we've been doing that since 1983 you got the best player on the planet built around them for now and try and win the title in the next two or three years go all in and then if it doesn't work out

[@fantasymangacomicvisionary5688]

I don't want anyone in the Backcourt with Maxey that take the ball out of his hands on the offense like Mikal Bridges as you grooming Maxey into a Superstar and hopefully into a Champion. I rather the Sixers get a 3&D Big Guard in Alex Caruso to pair in the Backcourt with Maxey especially if they get LeBron allowing Maxey to get most of the touches on the offense perimeter as Embiid get the most touches period downlow. Look this isn't Rockets Science.

[@romelsligh2788]

@peterpentakis9307 Embiid never plays like he’s the best player on the planet his playoff performances are worse than his regular season performances

[@fantasymangacomicvisionary5688]

At this point why would the Sixers build around a 22 Years Old Maxey especially when the Best Player is still Embiid? The Sixers need to try to win big games especially a Championship in Maxey Youth because you can groom him into a Champion with a Championship Mentality like a Kobe and Kyrie Irving because because the Sixers can truly give the team over to him. What happened to grooming Potential Stars into Champion Players by them being in the backseat under Championship Players to get experience in Big Games because all these teams do is put these Young Guys on teams as the Guy from the start, then they don't win anything and want out because they're are the Guy. Only Guy.

How is Kyle Lowry a good piece he scored 0 points in two games he stinks he's washed
