The 76ers are ‘like the Clippers all over again’ - Brian Windhorst on Philly’s struggles | NBA Today

Maxing out a 34 yr old Paul George to put him on the same team as Joel Embiid who both have issues staying on the court is going exactly the way it supposed to go lol 😂

As a Sixer's fan, when Sixer's fans were excited about this, I wondered if I had been transported to alternate universe where Paul George and Joel Embiid have been healthy their whole careers and actually showed up in the playoffs. How could anyone not have expected this?

[@charlievogel6063]

Yep. I think the Clippers never expected a team to come over them and offer a 4 yr Max deal for PG. He had one healthy season because it was a contract year. Mission accomplished!

[@CBrown]

Paul George should be a bench player at this point in his career. Teams need to be minimizing the opportunities for him to get injured. Kawhi and Embid too. At some point, lack of availability needs to outweigh talent and these teams need to stop paying these guys these insane contracts to not play. I mean, they can do what they want honestly, but it does feel like sometimes better talent is pushed out or missed because there isn't enough cap space because its wasted like this.

I’m a Sixers fan. It’s certainly over. Embiid is cooked from all the injuries and surgical treatments over the course of his career. PG is 34 and can’t stay healthy so pretty much a part-time NBA player and part-time podcaster now. As much as people hate Embiid, he was the only regular season floor raiser the 76ers ever drafted in the last 10 years. Maxey and McCain are cool but you CANNOT build a team around an undersized guard. It’s only happened maybe once or twice in NBA history, 1 of them being Steph Curry, the best shooter ever

[@altdelete7696]

Agreed. I've taken my heart out of it so I can be patient cuz there's no other option. It's not actually over it's like one of these movies that keep dragging on and on cuz you can't get out of any of those contracts. So you better just hope that it starts clicking. Embiid playing well is definitely a step in the right direction because he's the only one that makes a difference record-wise on this team like you said for the past decade

I don’t know why people keep saying this. Embiid is the only guy carrying the franchise. Maxey is inconsistent and looks like garbage as the first option most nights. Yes theh can build around him and McCain eventually but frankly what they should do is get the build around Embiid right. They shouldn’t have maxed out an injury prone aging vet. They should’ve built depth and put shooters and elite defenders around Embiid with that money instead. Nick nurse also is a big part of the problem. And the biggest culprit of all is Daryl morey. If you want to rebuild you can have Daryl morey of all people rebuilding. The problem with this organization is the damn ownership being inept beyon repair hiring idiotic coaches and gms and keeping them for years ruining Embiids prime. They had a great team when they got jimmy butler they blew it all up. They drafted mikal bridges and gave him away on draft night.
