When Dallas called about trading Luka for Embiid Morey hung up😅
Get rid of Paul and Embiid. We need players who actually play, who love playing. We need passionate players back in this city like Barkley, Iverson, and Doc!
Can’t trade Embiid this season, but trade PG now and trade Embiid in the offseason. If they keep PG past the trade deadline the 76ers will live to regret it!
I distinctly remember this team callously trading away Iverson after first disrespecting him repeatedly. Then calling the next guy A.I. in further disrespect.
Then ditch Daryl Morey. HIs quick fix moves left this team depleted. Its proven.
You're PTSD is showing, go see a doctor
And Iverson got out of the 2nd round 1 time is his career😂😂😂😂
I do not blame Paul George for getting his money the sixers gave him that contract blame the GM and owner. Any sixers fan could tell by his play he was on a decline and some players decline faster than others and looking at his play in the playoffs with the clippers should have told the sixers GM something about Paul.
Fr i don't understand giving pg money but not james harden
@@youtubecommenter3398 I did not want either of them, but I do get your point. I think the sixers could have got James Harden for less.
We already had two star players why not build a stronger lineup around them instead of going all in on one player
Not mad at PG, the Sixers management is stupid. They always had dumb management That's why we haven't won a championship since 1983.
@@deeflow7348 Facts.
No more small guards! That is the problem with Maxey when he is trapped on the court the other guys can't shoot only can go to the rim!
Agreed. No more small, old guards like Lowry and Gordon. We need 3 and D wings with size
Maxey is fine. No more centers with bad feet.
I used to be a die hard Sixers fan but atp with this current management/ownership/pool of players, I don’t trust them to make any competent moves! The Sixers and Darryl morey have a huge problem ok their hands! All this talk of building around Embiid and “trusting the process” need to come to a screeching halt! Face the music, Embiids never gonna be healthy enough to lead a team anywhere in the playoffs if by chance they did get a play-in spot. On top of the that they keep chasing aging “stars” past their prime and giving them max money. Get PG off the books, trade Embiid and build your future around Maxey and McCain THATS IT! Buy low and sell high! It ain’t that complicated 🙄
We are already questioning this front office! For use of money and draft picks and players they brought in!
@@LawrenceTalley-j6g no one is really questioning them, no one in the media has called for Morey or Elton to answer questions, not 1. There no pressure
The Sixers are 4 and 2 over their last 6. The two losses were against top tier clubs and were close games.
Maxey can carry this team to the play-in. Get him guys that fit his style, athletic slashing wings that put pressure on the rim. We need guys that defend and get fouls.
Maybe the Heat, 76ers, GS, and Suns together discuss of a 4 way trade.
That would be the best way to go about stars move around
They’re not going to do anything to set them back? lol. They gave EMBIID a max extension. Come on bro.
We our not going nowhere this season! Even in the play in tournament!
All these Sixers problems are Morey's fault not having a Claus in the contracts for playing time! And going after players who are older and hurt! They should trade for draft picks! And get better scouts! We need taller. Snippers! And stop all this smaller players!
I would trade PG if you can get something useful. The horrible start doomed them
So you choosing biid over George. Is that right?
The process is over. The Sixers need to rebuild.
All the Sixers fans I see on Social Media want Paul George AKA Pinky P traded, gone, adios.
You are so right!
Building around Maxey is the way.
Get rid of both Martin boys, they’ve been out like forever! Also ship Drummond, the self proclaimed best rebounder with his injured toe for way too long has been worthless! I’ll take my chances with Adem Bona. I cannot believe how we ended up with a Tobias Harris 2.0 namely Pinky P. So disappointed and pissed with Joel. Then, to add insult to injury I read somewhere (@realBobManning) that Yalu is embracing the possibility of a trade even going back to Boston, I don’t blame him! So, if you were just wondering over the prospects of Yabu’s return next season I’ve got news for y’all: Is not gonna happen! On top of that, when senior citizen Eric Gordon started to play well he’s now injured. Just a fan here letting out his frustrations!!
Laughable when they said we would want Donovan Mitchell for PG lol. + They discussed Yabu but didnt mention what we might get for him value wise.
I dont see any teams giving much fir him because of his contract. he is tobias 2. he get injured and get worst more into the contract. he not worth 50 million a yr. he not worth 30 million a yr. dont think team will be dumb enough to take that contract.
So we not going to act like PG wasn't balling before the finger injury?? We haven't got a chance to see much of our big 3 yet. He actually fits in so many ways. 3 and D is not something you sneeze about. Some of yall just don't know basketball
Blow this mess up, trade George, Embiid, Morey and Brand. Build around Maxey with people who actually know team building. 😢
If the Sixers make the play in tournament, at best, they'll be the 8th seed (they aren't making it to play for the 7th seed). That means the Cavs or Boston in the first round. They're going to get stomped. The PG contract is too expensive. The players that would be in the trade from the Hawks or Warriors are averaging the same numbers at half the salary (Wiggins for the Warriors, Hunter for the Hawks)...
I've been a Denver fan for 11 years now since Jokic arrived. I've been following and watching the NBA since 1995 and I know a lot about basketball because my close friends are former basketball players, coaches, future coaches and participating in training sessions with them, I learned a lot, especially from the old school Serbian coaches. 76 has an excellent team on paper, injuries of Embid and especially this kid McCain who can be with Maxi a duo like Garland-Donovan M. from Cleveland. Role players who are either injured or don't play for who knows what reasons, don't want to accept a role bigger than the one they were paid for. If Paul George doesn't play, Caleb Martin can cover it, but why would he when it's not his job and that's why he's sitting on the bench with minor injuries without coverage. The best way out of this situation for 76 is to get rid of at least one big contract, whether it's Embiid or PG, it's up to the front office to decide. Best of luck to 76, and I hope next season with a much better game, and urgent major decisions about the players and transparency about their injuries and how ready they are to play at full capacity.
Kayla, quick question: who? Is the #1 Point guard in the G-league that NBA ready? right now, the absolute #1 pure PG that could help the Sixers at minimal
cost if any
Great question!
He may be undersized for the NBA, but Mac Mclung!
@ the slam dunk champ? For real? He’s really the best point guard in the entire G-league? No way? Woooooooow. Sooo do you know who’s the #1 PG over seas that the Sixers can grab? And 🤔 why haven’t they snatch Lonnie Walker?, he is a great fit and would cost them nothing. He came take all Reggie’s minutes, Lowry too. Smh. Morey and Elton is literally doing, and won’t have to answer for it, no one is calling for them for answers, why is that. Sorry to loud you up with all this, but they killing my team
My bad, I see they got Quinnten Grimes, Morey can’t be finished
Morey is trying to save his job!
Pompey takes are the worst. Always so dated and out of touch. This is clearly Maxey's team, now. Embiid is clearly on an epic decline and has been completely absent while Maxey is taking his game to the next level. He said that this is still "Embiid's" team for 3 more years, WHAT?...Of course he isn't entertaining trading Embiid, Kieth would keep Embiid forever 🙄
Ugh always the worst lol
Agreed!
Real sixers fans no. Our only option is move biid. Talk about other shit after he's Out
But what if we can get a couple of ok young players who can help just so we can get rid of PG's idiotic contract ?
Paul Geprge shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as Luka. George is old and washed. Get 2 first round draft picks for George.
If he’s old n washed how u think he’s gonna get 2 first round? lol y’all 76ers fans be talking dumb
Warriors called and ask for two 1st round picks attached to George
George or biid. One or the other. I'm taking George allday
@coreybrown6686 it's sickening
Go get Herb Jones
THIS IS MAXEY'S TEAM
Omg get off Paul contract pls
The sixers are not going anywhere with Paul George, it was a bad signing from the get-go. It never ever was a process, the sixers never had a real plan at all and still don't. It is time to rebuild Paul George is an old 34 Joel is a part-time player at best who cannot get on the court consistently. To even speak about a championship with this team is borderline delusional.
I think the Dallas Mavericks won that trade because I think that Anthony Davis is right there with Luca. Now the Mavericks have a center Kyrie Irving can run the point I think they're a much better team than they were last year. I think in the short run the Mavericks won the trade
The Mavericks have 2 centers already. AD has been screaming he wants to play PF, his natural position for a while now. He now gets to, so it's definitely a win for him
Kyrie for pg ?
Yes. Still too early to breakup
KP needs to wear stronger glasses….what are you looking at my man…dump PG’s salary. Then get rid of Embid
Is paying PG double what Harris is making really better? Not to mention he's played 18 less. PG is shaking hands and smiling while the dumb-butt GM is giving money away. WAKE-UP!!
Im dissapointed in both players. P.G. out for a Pinky?? Beed in practise doing Hand Standd, and "Pop Locking" in practise. IM DONE!! No merch, no tix, no games. Sixers tanking!
Trade Paul George pleae, i never wanted him, i wanted Zach Lavine, Paul George is comfortable he just wants money and ho's he doesn't wanna play ball no more. All the girls in Philly better check their health out if they been on dates with Paul George, that man is the new magic Johnson off the court and he is a health risk seriously. Go check out his track record. But please get Paul George outta here!!!
Trade Tobias Harris not worth 50 million a year.
Which team will take his contract ??
Embiid will never be in his prime because of his health
What is paul value?? Will he play? U getting off that salary!! Lol
Value? That term is disgraceful
PG should have never been signed...old wsshed and injury prone...no need to keep him...Pompey you need to embrace the inevitable...him nor Biid will ever be healthy enough to play consistently...THE PROCESS IS OVER..ITS TIME TO MOVE ON
What about lonzo ball?
Trade paul george forsome crimble cookies
Darryl Morey killed my love for this team, He didn't get the correct pieces. For Simmons, there were better players out there. We could have had he messed up on that., He resigned Joel for three more years, that's nuts bc Joel knees are almost done, And they signed PG for 5 years and he is at the end of his career that is ridiculous., And we stink this year
