Sometime this summer when things are slow (after the Olympics?), I'd like to hear you talk about how the current NBA class may contribute significantly to the "greatest players to never win a championship" list. Within five years we may be adding MVPs Embiid, Harden, Westbrook, and then Chris Paul, too. Maybe talk about where they would fit into this infamous list, but also some odds and pathways for one last chance for these guys? I don't know if Jimmy, Dame, or PG have had strong enough careers to crack the top-25, but those others might.
I never thought I'd see my favorite player in Philly. As a Sixers fan, I really expect close to nothing. A Conference finals appearance would be nice, but I could just as well imagine him and Joel combine for 75 missed games😅
Right imo it ain't much different than him and kawaii in LA like yeah on paper it looks nice and if both players are healthy they should be able to do somethings but we pretty much know one or both of them won't be healthy
@@zirbto5749 true, i still believe PG is a mid player and won't help anybody to get near a Championship. He is more concerned for his podcast than his basketball carreer
I love how after all those "Street Lights over Spotlights, New King in LA, Earned not Given" ads they ran in LA they ended up accomplishing nothing lmao.
@alvinortiz649 sorry but no, not really. Success isn't measured in trips to the conference finals, no matter how much of a poverty franchise it is. Truth is pg and kawhi both came off of career years in 2019, and one trip to to the wcf in 4 years is very little to show for having two of the best wings in the league. All in all, it's not kd-kyrie-harden level of failure, but it's definitely a failure.
I can understand talking about a players health issues and past failures due to injuries. Predicting a player is going to get hurt is a tastless, classless move.
Yeah I think it makes the sixers a lot better, but none of their stars are known for being playoff risers. It's a potential bigger challenge for the Celtics, but hard to see the Sixers actually make it over the hump.
@@TYLOTYLOTYLOlmaoooooo he gave himself that nickname. His real nickname is Pandemic P because once the playoffs come around he plays like he has the flu, no MJ
PG has no interest in winning a ring so im cool with this as a celtics fan. I think it makes them much better but I dont see them holding it together for the 100 games it takes to win a ring. Big maxey fan though so we'll see.
No situation is going to be perfect. Sometimes you have to overpay to have a shot. PG gives the Sixers a better chance to seriously compete in the East. Guys are more and more productive into their 30’s than ever before. PG will probably still be a 18-19 and 4-5 guy at the end of his contract.
Excellent pick up for Philly. However, they had to let go off Batum, Covington and Hield to make the PG signing happen. I'm sure Morey is trying to shore up the roster with adequate signings on exceptions and minimum salary players.
Of course it will. They're still a second round exit. It'll go to game 7 sure, but Knicks/Celtics will beat them in that game 7. The one hope they have is PG being healthier than Embiid which is very doubtful.
PG is 34, injury prone and disappears in the playoffs. Not the best thing ever but if Philly manages to win a championship it'll be worth it otherwise it'll be an albatross in a couple years. Two years is the timeline imo for their current core.
Clippers were smart not to pay him dude is overrated no longer a superstar basically a solid third option at best. No dog in him no fight. Yeah the clippers are looking rough but imagine paying George $60m at age 38-39 averaging 12pts yikes
My opinion is they could just get 220 million and flush it down the shitter as Paul George doesnt move the needle for this team. And I should know as Im a clippers fan and I saw him continually dissapoint last season. What a waste of money.
You dont understand, we were stuck with Tobias for 5 years. We played 4 v 5 every night. Getting PG as our 3rd option instead of Tobi does wonders for this team. Even 15 ppg from PG in the playoffs is a huge bonus.
I had a hard time focusing on what you were saying past "Ihart to OKC". That bothers me as a Mavs fan 😑 especially if we don't do anything, which scares me even more.
It is definitely a overpay and that contract is probably gonna be terrible after a year or 2 but i mean the only options they had was give everything you can to win or fail and rebuild and at least they chose on of em. The clippers are idiots too i dont know what you do from here, you are not good enough to really compete but you cant rebuild with this team, if i was them id try everything i can to get our picks from okc and just rebuild since i dont see anyway this team could even make the conference finals now but i dont know, clippers are going to be in nba hell for a bit
@@alxx292 He literally has the same stats in the reg season as in the play offs, source statmuse. 21.2 ppg in the POs, 20.8 ppg in the reg season. That is effectively identical, 21ppg +/- 1%. Science, my guy.
All Kawhi had to do was stay with the Raptors and we would've went back to back. Now look, the furthest hes gone since he left is to the 2nd round and the Clippers best success was making it to the WCF without him.
ehhh maybe the injury thing would probably just be apart of kawhi where ever he went after that year especially since he already had those issues with the raptors right up until the playoffs
Fair point, but they were a #2 seed during the season after Kawhi left and lost in 7 to the Celtics in the bubble. You add Kawhi to that and they'll easily win, especially when you factor in that Kawhi was healthy during that playoff run for the Clippers.

Warriors only shot was putting Steph and LeBron together and now that's never gonna happen. They just need to ask Steph if he wants to seriously compete somewhere else or just be part of the rebuild process.
Wasnt worth it for yall, moody and kuminga for a fading star? Not worth it. Ik curry wants to win but even with PG they are unlikely to win another chip
@@DSquare77Yeah , the west is tough, but I don't think it really matters considering that even if you're really good in the east, you will still have to face the Celtics .
We all know they gonna have a meltdown in the second round anyway cuz the 76ers have done this for 7 damn years now shit i think the Cavs or the Magic got a better chance of reaching the Conf.Finals than the 76ers if they cant do it with Butler or Harden i doubt they can do it with PG who can barely stay healthy now
Cavs can't really do anything till trades start up officially as most good players don't look to sign at all really, just going off the last 5 years or so anyway
On paper, this is easily the best trio in the league and a perfect fit. In reality, there's a 5% chance both Embiid and PG stay healthy into the playoffs and the team has 0 depth around them. This team is not a contender until Morey makes some trades for more legit bench players, and even then I just don't trust the health of 2/3 stars.
We all know they aint passing it pass the second round 😂😂😂 like its the 76ers bro they have done this for 7 years straight already 😂😂😂 they gonna have a good first round then proceed to shit the bed royally in the second round 😂😂😂
