2024-25 Philadelphia 76ers Check In Thread (Your Current Feel on the team)

[M2J]

We processing again? I've never felt more alive.

It's the Sixers fan way


Time to see what McCain has going on. They actually should play him in place of Tyrese

[sixerguy]

and some teams would trade Joel Embiid so that they get a Rudy Gobert+ return because they've assessed they can't win with him and trade them before their value diminishes.

That's fine if you want to take the loser approach. Rudy Gobert ain't no Joel Embiid.

yea Billy King is such a winner, probably your idol

[Stanford]

I didn't say anything about a winning approach.

[SixthStreet]

It's a bad year to be stacking up losses since our pick is only 1-6 protected this year but my overall outlook is not particularly changed. The less games Embiid plays the better and taking a bunch on the front end effectively makes his season shorter. I'll take it. I doubt we will end up in the play-in if Embiid doesn't get hurt for multiple weeks the rest of the year. Might have to make a run from the 6 seed, but that's actually a good spot to be in because you are opposite of Boston. Not afraid of playing Cleveland or New York with a healthy big 3.

I hope we have all 3 healthy come playoffs. I no longer think we will be contenders, even with all 3.

[SixersSince82]

I'd be pretty comfortable re-creating last year. Make a run at the play-in while getting a top 16 pick, only this year is suppose to be a better draft. Just gotta get our pick back from OKC. Even if it cost the Clippers pick, I'd do it.

[Negrodamus]

Disastrous beginning to the season aside, I think we're going to make one more trade in the next two months for a fourth "star". No idea who it'll be, but I think we're going to dump the rest of our picks into someone. One guy that stands out is 6th man John Collins. I'm sure he's not happy about coming off the bench. But the Ainge of it all makes it hard to complete that deal.

Joel Embiid should request a trade if we dump precious pick equity on John Collins

Also impossible in our situation to trade for a non-rookie scale guy without absolutely gutting whatever depth we once had in like a package of five for one

It's going to be one of Kuminga / Eason / Jabari

[SixthStreet]

There is going to have to proof of health demonstrated by our big 3 before any talk of using the assets. And Embiid is going to have to be dominant in some form when he comes back. He's going to physically look different but he needs to be as impactful.

[Negrodamus]

Look at Morey's track record, particularly late stage Rockets, and come back to me about keeping depth/assets in a trade.

PG would not joined a tanking team for even one season. He like Joel wants to win a title before they retire. Sometimes noob fans just don't get it that tanking is for losers! We are good enough to win it all while healthy!

[DCasey91]

Here me out. Do we have our pick this year?

We go full tank. Enter the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes

Somehow it happens and by a miracle he doesn't get injured. Embiid wins his one and only chip being DROB to Tim Duncan

Then the actual process begins with Flagg and Maxey

Simple. If we don't have our pick then blow it up

It's been known but not proven that the lottery is rigged to prevent purposely tanking from dominant rostered teams to win the lottery. They also got rid of Hinkie for tanking every year even with Jrue on the team. Same reason why they prevented the Lakers from getting a prime CP3 and why the 2nd apron was created to end the domination. So the Spurs will likely get the top pick so they been struggling for the past 2 decade to start their dynasty again just like the twin towers had done with Duncan and Robinson while back because Pop is the greatest teacher coach in the league. They is no way they going to give any 3 headed monster team the top pick. It has NEVER happened in the history of the league cause irs not allowed for Big 3 teams to tank or did you NOT get the memo?

And only noobs would suggest we blow it up now....what's wrong with you?

[DCasey91]

Alright man the Doomsday clock has been past 12 for a couple of seasons. Embiid is 0/3 in the 2nd round

If that's the horse you want then fine so be it

[Jailblazers7]

I would really like to see this big 3 actually play together before blowing it up lol

But I totally get the sentiment. I have no faith in this team outside of Tyrese who is still growing into his game with a roster that’s frankly a poor fit for him. The fact that we have an elite young scoring PG & have never given him a true lob threat to play with is gross negligence.

Exactly the BiG 3 hasn't played together once, yet fans want us to tank already or blow it up if we can't land the top pick Lol

PG didn't sign up for this and deserved the chance to be in the playoffs with Joel, just like he had with Kawhi so often already in a much harder conference. This season is only a handful in, so no need to panic like doom city Now that he has been suspended for 3 games, it will allow him to heal more before coming back instead of rushing to come back and make it worse.

Cavs and C's are the only scary teams in this conference but we can take care of the rest if fully healthy.

[Negrodamus]

All these miserable things are happening concurrently with the west coast trip which, I think, is subconsciously killing me the most with these 10pm starts. This has been a coordinated assault by the deep NBA state against Sixer fans.

I stay up until 1 as I don't need our beauty sleep. PG wants payback on the Lakers and should have a big game, so don't miss it if possible.

AD gonna cook us tonight
