Windhorst - "Sixers wouldn't give up Maxey"

[Pointgod]

Lmaoo quality bump. Raps fans have some horrendous takes when it comes to players on other teams.

[TRik]

I think you missed the point. If you are going to use other peoples old points, you better own up to it when people can pull up your same **** takes as well.

The funniest part about this situation is that we can bring up those same posters shtity takes about Maxey as well

Awesome dude…sounds like you’re winning.

Why did you join a thread just to bait someone?

Good lord. That’s not baiting. The bumping of an old thread wasn’t inspiring nice exchanges. I pointed that out. Then someone said I was ‘missing the point’ because they could also bring up people’s bad take and I said awesome.

[Psubs]

Harden was a real positive to his game. Losing Harden became a very big addition by subtraction move. Question is how Nurse handles the level of depth he has. I think he Maxey will play a lot and further develop his game. Guys like Batum will not play much when Oubre comes back. Maxey maxes their starting lineup one of the best in the league.

Oubre is a chucker and should come off then bench.


Well, I never cared for Thybulle. I would've done just Maxey for Kyle. I think I was willing to take Maxey, Paul Reed and whatever salary filler needed.

[WaltFrazier]

That’s why I said potential not who is better now. I don’t think you’d find many people around the league that would say Maxey has a higher ceiling than Precious.

This aged well

To be fair Precious without is a higher ceiling, lower floor, type of player. They were picked back to back #20/#21 in 2020.

Neither were "cant miss" prospects and that is why when you read old Maxey there are exactly zero people saying "he will probably average 29/7 in his 4th year"

This thread is from 2022. I recall arguing that Maxey was a budding great scoring guard back then too, because I saw the combo of lightning quickness attacking closeouts and stop on a dime threes. No one may have said he'd average 29/7 back then but he was already dropping 30+ on us back then. Not sure about 2020 but in 2022 when this thread started, I can't imagine many thinking Precious had a higher ceiling by then. But maybe I'm jaded by the fact he's barely inproved since then. (Still hoping though).


I've had lots of bad takes before but I've been unwavering in being high on Maxey.

[Scase]

Is the jury still out on Precious having more potential than Maxey, or can we draw a conclusion yet?

Anyone who thinks theres still more potential in precious, they have clearly taken a brick to the head.

This is an old thread

I quoted a post made like an hour ago. Hence, using the word still, English you know?

[ruckus]

Not to take anything away from Maxey cause he's definitely playing at a new level but, I wonder how much of it is from Nurse's system. We all know Nick loves his guards and Maxey is probably the best guard he's had to coach so far in terms of being able to break down defenses.

[Psubs]

Please trade Pascal for Cason Wallace before he becomes the next "Maxey" breakout player (in the mold of Jrue).

Fair enough - but the athletic 3+D forward/center is always going to have more "potential" than a small guard like Maxey. Maxey to me still to me seems like he might turn into a guy who puts up huge numbers, commands huge salaries, and then is borderline unplayable against good playoff teams due to his lack of size.

But hey - at the time ot this thread Maxey was a guy who was a horrible shooter in college, a bad shooter as a rookie, and as a sophomore I figured was just a low volume flash in the pan type season. Never would have thought he could scale up to 8 3's a game and hit them like he is Buddy Heild.

I just don't believe anyone foresaw 28/7 on 60+TS% AND 7 assists with only 1.1(!!!!) TOs per game. That is truly MVP time #'s if he does that over an entire season (but my guess is like Scottie, he will come down to earth a bit... right? )

He was already on his way last season and Philly wouldn't trade Maxey if we say offered FVV. Well maybe if we offered to trade FVV for Maxey in the summer of 2022, they might've entertained it.

Usually along the lines of a scorer/shooter and the refrain is, but he can't play defense

I think leaving out something like the intelligence or BBIQ of a player in those potential convos is the misstep here. Precious could be built like Giannis, but if he's got the acumen of a HS basketball player, it doesn't matter. Can't honestly say I've seen enough of Precious playing on the heat to make that call ahead of the trade, but I'm also not a scout working for a professional sports team.

Anyone who says they expected Maxey to be at the point he is now, is lying. But anyone who watched the heat could probably comment on Precious and his bonehead plays.

And my post about is the jury still out, was sarcastic. It's not even a question anymore and I don't think it was in 2022 either

In the summer of 2022 we had just played a series where Maxey was lighting us up. Not sure anyone would have made that trade by then

He quoted a post from years ago, which was also in your reply, and seemingly the object of both of your scorn. There’s no indication there are people out there believing Precious has a lot of potential. Still.

I was anti-FVV for this team in the future and saw that Maxey was getting to the hoop at will.

Lmaoo quality bump. Raps fans have some horrendous takes when it comes to players on other teams.

I see it so often here. Not just Maxey but I've seen it in the past with Haliburton, SGA, Brunson, Bane, etc...

Another example is AJ Griffin and Bufkin not being good, but still thinking 25-year old Flynn can be the solution to our backup PG spot (which I hope does happen, by some miracle). I've joked about it in the past. Everyone else's players are finished products, but not ours lol.

This is…not a unique phenomenon.

Again, English. It was a confirmatory statement, he was clearly being facetious, and I was making a comment how anyone who still thinks he has the potential has taken a brick to the head. I was not in any way suggesting anyone commenting years ago is brain damaged with years of hindsight.

I was quoting and responding to Walts comment, not the original one. You can put the pitchfork down.

For sure, it's common across all fanbases. I do think we are up there in terms of overrating our players, though not as bad as Knicks fans.

bother me at all, mainly because that Sixers roster is nothing special. Embiid turns 30 next season and won't have too much longer on those knees. Maxey is a sieve on D, and Harden (if he stays) will be 34 by the start of the season. Beyond that, they have nothing worth even mentioning. Good luck .
