[@xYajji]

Something I feel like people aren’t thinking about is that with PG being on this team, he won’t need to average 35 for us to win basketball games. That’s always been the problem for us. We’ve never had enough scoring punch from the starting lineup outside of Maxey to take the stress off of Embiid. Also Tobias Harris and his big contract have held us back from getting the depth we’ve needed to help him out. Tobias showed people exactly why we fucking hated him last playoffs. He was never worth that contract and he’s hurt this team more than helped them throughout his entire contract.

honest hot take from a bulls fan, sixers are better than the knicks

[@crooklynz718]

​@@OsumasNEGATIVE! 76ers bench is weak compared to the Knicks bench so how exactly are they better🤔

[@Osumas]

@@crooklynz718 Knicks bench is like donte and that is it, but 76ers have Jared McCain, they could probably find a PF on the market and put Kelly oubre or Caleb Martin on the bench, and also have Andre Drummond. They have a competent 10 man rotation, while thibs is gonna be putting on a 6 man rotation for the season

[@crooklynz718]

@Osumas stop it. For you to say the Knicks bench is like Donte and that's it just shows how you don't know much at all. Josh Hart obliterated the 76ers in the playoffs as a starter with his rebounding, drives, and 3 point shooting and he's now moving to the bench. Miles McBride is another great bench piece whose and elite defender and can hit the 3. For you to even mention a rookie in McCain as if he's in the same tier as a Donte, Hart, or even McBride is comical. Drummond is one dimensional, he can rebound and defend a little but that's about it. Thibs is not gonna play a 6 man rotation considering he has those 3 that I mentioned coming off the bench, plus they will add a backup C as well. The Knicks are a deep team due to their elite players whether it be rebounding, shooting the 3, or defending coming off the bench which is something the 76ers lack.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

The sixers are fun and certainly look great now. They are one of the few teams that legit look ready and also have a geat roster to go with it. Assuming health is going to be okay they are going to be a tough cookie to crack and might go far this year, more than any other. At first I expected maybe Brandon Ingram to land on this team, but I guess PG13 is a slightly better fit. I didn't even know that had this much cap space to give. If any team can give the Celtics a run for their money it is this Sixers team and (again) upgraded Knicks. Both of those teams are extremely stacked.

[@Ok.alright]

[@h2owl205]

Look I totally understand needing to be suspicious about the sixers because they continue to disappoint, but from Morey’s perspective and what was available, he did absolutely everything he could this offseason. As a sixer fan this offseason at least showed me that upper management really is doing what they can to bring a championship to Philly

[@chrisrodriguez3238]

The overhate for this move is insane. They had to make a move to try and take advantage of Embiid’s prime. This was the best move and opportunity to win a championship. If they aren’t healthy you live with that but if you stand pat and stay mid Embiid probably requests a trade anyways. I still don’t have them above the Celtics but it at least gives them a chance

[@johndotcue]

Yeah it’s desperation move at this point. PG definitely fits that profile of a good player that can revolve around an Embiid centric team. And he’s probably only the best player available right now that fits that role well.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

This is nothing but good for the team. In the worst case, they got rid of Tobias Harris, which wasn't bad but a thorn in the eye of sixers fans for years and if PG is injured or can't play, that wouldn't make them much worse than last year. In the best case, he, Embiid and Maxey are going to overload defenses and Embiid can coast to the playoffs and not risk injury.

Sixers absolutely had to swing for the fences this off-season and they did just that. They did the best that could be done this off-season . If their younger guys can step up and play real roles then their depth won’t be an issue and they’ll be ok in that area. Looks for names like Ricky Council and Jared McCain, if they can play roles then this team will do well. If not they’ll need to make another move. Get a 2 or a 4. Hell they could still use one more forward. And guys like Drummond, Gordon, and Martin will be absolutely huge in certain situations. And they have the most well rounded big 3 in the league.

[@urbaindelva7869]

I gotta disagree with you on this one, Cone. I think that PG just walked into a similar situation to the one he just left, except with a better 3rd option in Maxey. They are not much closer to winning a championship, even though PG is a slight upgrade from Tobias Harris at this point in his career. Health and playoff performance will be the determining factor for the Sixers with Embiid and PG at the helm, and (recent) history has shown us that they can not be counted on for either.

Best lineup of injured reserve list players in the league 🔥

[@Docwell]

Embiid is the most talented player in NBA history. Injuries are his only downside. Now that they finally have a good roster around him for the first time in his career, he doesn’t have to do everything so maybe he can actually stay healthy. It’d be much better for him to only average 25 points by playing low minutes or taking games off to prevent injury and they can still have a winning record without him. This should be the goal so they can go into the playoffs fully healthy.

[@batman76rb55]

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Apart from Wemby, he might be. I don't think he has proven to be the best, but at least he shows great signs he can be the most talented player. Winning is what matters. I don't care if he is doing MVP stuff, he needs to prove himself in the playoffs.

[@taj3618]

Depends on who they played. Could’ve definitely beat Indy or the Cavs

[@jimifender22]

i mean they easily could've beaten the pacers cavs or a knicks team where the whole roster was hurt. only team they didnt have a real good chance of beating in the east was the celtics. even though they lost to the knicks that was really a series that could have gone either way, knicks had a point differential of plus one in that series

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I think they have a bad matchup vs the Knicks, at least the older version with Hartenstein still on the team. Both Robinson and I-Hart can hang with Embiid just enough to keep him honest and they have scary, hardworking players that can all shoot and explode, not to mention their defense just bogs everyone down. I don't think it's going to be any easier this year, as the Knicks basically improved more than the Sixers did and they have youth in their favor as well, but let's hope for a great series in the ECF or something.

Considering the other moves Philly made, I actually think it puts them over or at least the same level as the NYK. Sixers have no answer for Brunson but Knicks have no answer for Embiid. Sixers biggest problem against NY was how poorly they played with Embiid off the court. In the end, it'll come down to health. Bucks, with Doc, are toast. BOS is still the class of the Eastern Conference. Keep an eye out for IND. I think they surpassed MIL.

[@jimifender22]

if paul george helps stabilize the sixers when embiid is off the court i think they're clearly better than the knicks. sixers had a net rating of +8 with embiid on the court and -50 (lol) with him off in that series. if they were simply terrible with embiid off the court instead of literally the worst team of all time they likely win the series pretty easily tbh
